The restaurant is consistently praised for its generous portion sizes, competitive pricing, and the warm, professional hospitality provided by the staff. Although the establishment operates primarily as a takeout and delivery counter without dine-in facilities, the quality of the food and the friendly, family-run atmosphere keep customers returning frequently. Overall, it is considered a top destination for those seeking high-quality Punjabi-style meals in the West Island area.
I've been coming here regularly with my friend, & this place never disappoints. The food is always fresh, delicious, & consistent. The mango lassi is honestly one of my favorites-it's the perfect drink to go with the meal.
A big shoutout to Arjun, the owner, who is always friendly & welcoming. He treats customers like family & makes the whole experience even better. This has become our go-to spot whenever we're craving good Indian food. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm a wedding planner & I had the pleasure of working with Arjun & his team who provided catering for a wedding event. Arjun was responsive accommodating & very easy to work with leading up to & on the day of the event. His kitchen & waitstaff team were excellent. The food was fresh & delicious! I highly recommend Dawat for any & all catering needs!
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.
This restaurant has generally been reliable in the past, but our recent experience was quite disappointing due to poor order management.
We placed a large order for 10 people over the phone at 6:00 PM & arrived for pickup at 7:45 PM. Upon arrival, we were initially handed someone else's order. Fortunately, we checked before leaving. At that point, the staff realized that our order had not been prepared at all, despite the advance notice. We were asked to wait another 15 minutes & to repeat the order, but ultimately waited close to 30 minutes.
Unfortunately, the issues didn't end there. When we got home, we discovered that one item-a vegetable curry (Paneer Tikka Masala)-was missing. When we called back, we were told it hadn't been noted. Additionally, because the food was prepared in a rush, the veg biryani was essentially fried rice with paneer & did not meet the usual quality or standard.
This created an extremely uncomfortable & embarrassing situation, especially since we had guests waiting for dinner. Delays, missing items, & compromised quality significantly impacted the experience.
I hope the management takes this feedback seriously & improves order handling & verification, especially for large or advance orders. I strongly recommend that customers check their orders carefully before leaving the restaurant.
Highly recommend Dawat you cannot go wrong with perfectly seasoned lamb curry biryani spicy & finger licking good chicken sheik kababs. Good cooking at fair prices. Can't wait till my next craving.

Had one of the best meals I've ever had in Canada! I was driving from Toronto to Montreal & randomly searched for food on the way - that's how I found Dawat. What a gem! The flavors are absolutely authentic Punjabi cuisine, rich & homestyle, exactly what you'd hope for.
The restaurant is located in Kirkland, just about 30 minutes from Montreal, which makes it an absolutely great stop whether you're going towards Montreal or heading back to Toronto.
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!
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.
