DAWAT has built a name for itself catering for weddings over the years, we have now opened up a take-out restaurant for all to enjoy :) DAWAT mission is to bring you quality food at a low price. By cutting out most overhead costs and buying in bulk, we guarantee the best bang for you hard earned buck.
Dawat is widely celebrated for its authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine, with many customers highlighting the butter chicken, fresh naan, and refreshing mango lassi as standout favorites. Often described as a top choice in the West Island for both regular takeout and large-scale catering, the restaurant is frequently praised for its generous portion sizes, reasonable prices, and consistent quality. Guests appreciate the warm, family-run atmosphere, noting that the staff is professional, welcoming, and dedicated to providing a pleasant experience. While it is primarily a destination for pickup and delivery rather than dine-in, the overall consensus points to a reliable and delicious spot that leaves visitors eager to return for more.
First time coming here; it's not a restaurant where you can eat, just for pick up & delivery. I ordered the Butter Chicken Combo which comes in a divided container with rice, potatoes, mixed salad, naan & the Butter Chicken. While I waited, I was offered a complimentary mango lassi which was quite nice. The people working there are very pleasant. I asked for the Butter Chicken to be very spicy & it was a little spicy. The food was quite good, the Butter Chicken was good, but not the same recipe I've had at a couple of other restaurants which I crave. The naan was also good & if you want potatoes, quite tasty although I wasn't hungry enough for them. I did enjoy the salad which was lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion & a simple dressing. I'll have to continue my search for the ultimate Butter Chicken, but I'm sure I'll be back to try some of their other dishes.
We recently ordered from Dawat for the first time & thoroughly enjoyed our food: palak paneer, Baingan Bharta, & naan. The two dishes were delicious, & the naan was soft & had that fresh from the tandoor taste. I haven't tasted naan this good since a favourite restaurant of mine, where they made it in the tandoor in front of the customer, closed down. We also appreciated that the food was packaged to avoid leaks & to keep the naan warm & soft. The price was also lower than other places we usually order from. We will definitely be ordering from Dawat again.

Be aware that this is not an eat-in place - I always get takeout
This is one of my favorite places to get food. I eat here once or twice a week, & it's always so good. The naan is freshly made & tender. The samosas are large & delicious, with abundant sauce on the side. The chicken has great flavor.
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!
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!
I stopped by this place hoping for a flavorful Indian meal, but unfortunately, it was a mixed bag. Aloo Gobi was very oily - I mean, I like a good sauce as much as the next person, but this was like drowning in it. Paneer Tikka Masala was just average, nothing special to write home about. & Naan was a letdown, dry & chewy instead of soft & fluffy. Overall, it was an average experience. Stay away from this restaurant unless you like oily messy food.
