I've ordered takeout from here twice now & it's been fantastic both times. The food is always fresh, very flavorful, & you can tell the kitchen really knows what they're doing. Everything tastes authentic & well made.
I'm especially happy to have such a great Indian spot in the West Island-it's so nice to have something this good close to home.
My only small wish is that the meals automatically came with rice or naan when ordering. Aside from that, everything has been excellent & I'll definitely keep coming back!
Amazing Indian restaurant! The food was full of flavour - especially the butter chicken & fresh naan. Service was friendly & fast, & the staff gave great recommendations. The atmosphere was warm & cozy, perfect for a relaxed meal. Highly recommend!

Suggested by my friend, loved the food from Daawat.The food was fresh & well-prepared, & the service was smooth. The receptionist deserves special mention for her friendly attitude, clear communication, & welcoming smile. Highly recommended!' They don't have dine in. Good for pickup or delivery.
The Punjabi food here is absolutely delicious-rich flavors, perfectly balanced spices, & portions that feel truly homely. Every dish tasted fresh & authentic, just like a proper home-cooked meal. The service was warm, attentive, & made the experience even better. A must-visit spot if you're craving real Punjabi hospitality & cuisine!
Its the first time I ordered from this place & I must say, the portion & quality of food is top notch. Everything was delicious & freshly made. Less options but mouth watery.

Their food is always freshly made, they welcome you with a big smile on face, super welcoming & the best part food is amazing & shows that they prepared with love.
Whenever I am around even if i have to take a detour to grab their food i do, totally worth it.
My personal favourite- Fish Pakoras, veg pakoras, tandoori chicken & fresh Lassi !
We ordered Uber Eats & we enjoyed an amazing dining experience with Dawat takeout. We ordered the Lamb Biryani, Garlic Naan, Chana Masala & potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious! The lamb Biryani was loaded with succulent pieces of lamb & with just the right amount of spice to keep it most enjoyable. The Chana Masala had just the right balance of spice & flavour not to mention it was overflowing with chickpeas. The garlic Naan was fresh, flavourful & a perfect accompaniment to the Chana Masala. In the end, as hard as it is to believe, there was just enough leftover Biryani for lunch the next day. I finished this off with ease & I cannot recommend Dawat enough if you're looking for a truly satisfying meal. Thank you Dawat!
So happy they reopened near our place! I absolutely devoured all their dishes, I can taste freshness & true passion & hard work went into each dish. Wish you guys continuous success!

Exceptional Service & Delightful Indian Cuisine at Dawat I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dawat in Montreal, & I must say, the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. One of the standout aspects of our visit was the incredibly swift service. We were in a bit of a hurry, & the staff at Dawat went above & beyond to accommodate us, managing to serve our entire order within just 10 minutes. While I'm sure such rapid service may not always be the norm, it certainly left a lasting impression on us. Now, onto the food-each dish was nothing short of perfection. We started with the fish pakora, which was an absolute delight. The pakoras had the perfect amount of crunch, & the accompanying chutney was a flavor-packed complement that elevated the dish. The mutton curry was another highlight of the meal. The mutton was cooked to tender perfection, with the rich, aromatic gravy infusing every bite with deep, satisfying flavors. It's clear that a lot of care goes into the preparation of their curries, as the depth of flavor was truly remarkable. The dal makhani was just as impressive. It was creamy, well-seasoned, & had the comforting, hearty taste you'd expect from this classic dish. The palak paneer was another winner; the paneer was soft & fresh, while the spinach gravy was flavorful & well-balanced. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, showcasing the authentic flavors of Indian cuisine with precision & care. From start to finish, our experience at Dawat was top-notch, & I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious Indian meal in Montreal.
The chicken wraps are delicious, filling & well worth the price. The bread is fresh & chewy with a generous amount of chicken & garnished with lettuce & sauce. The interior is the restaurant is very small with only a few tables but definitely worth the trip to go & eat here.
Highly recommend Super yummy food it was the best Indian food I ever had. Great for dinner it tasted authentic Punjabi. The mango lassi was fresh & delicious definitely worth the money.
