I had an amazing experience here, & I especially want to thank Mr. Arjun for his outstanding customer service. He was incredibly kind, understanding, & considerate of my situation.
Unfortunately, I have allergies to many of the ingredients they use, which made it difficult for me to fully enjoy my meal. Even so, Mr. Arjun went above & beyond to help, & his genuine care made such a positive impression that it made me want to come back.
Although I wasn't able to finish my dish because of my allergies, my mom absolutely loved it & completely devoured the plate! The food was delicious, & the hospitality was even better.
Thank you, Mr. Arjun, for making us feel so welcome. Exceptional service like yours is hard to find, & it's the reason we'll gladly recommend this restaurant to others.
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!
