Came here for vacation not expecting what I would get into. Came in to delicious food and a great environment. There was a big family that took up majority of the restaurant and they were so kind from the customers to the servers to the the chef. Great environment great food great place to be. Highly recommend for anyone who lives here and anyone who’s visiting. This is the place to be.

Wonderful food. Always tastes great. TIP order at least 1hour before your going to be hungry and call direct for delivery rather than using a food app for faster delivery. But still have to give 5 stars... I waited 2hours once and was so annoyed but once I tasted the food It was so worth the wait

We always get our takeout from here and have eaten in before. Dawat's never let us down, always quick, impeccable service and lovely staff. Tandoori K prawns are our fav and tried many of their more authentic curries off their menu.

I look forward to coming over here from the states because Dawat has some of the best curry around. We have consistently great experiences whether dining in or ordering out. It’s such a treat.

I used to eat here frequently when I lived in Blackfen. Now whenever I come back to see my Mum, we go here for dinner as the food is amazing! Have sampled most of the menu now as been going here for years and it is fantastic. Beats the Indian restaurants at The Oval which have massively gone downhill in the last couple of years. One of the best Indian restaurants that I go to, you must try it!

I had received flyer through my door some time ago and waited for a chance to try it. I was not disappointed as I took my four friends for a meal. The food was extremely delicious and the prices were reasonable. The staff were very attentive and caring. I thoroughly recommend it if you fancy a meal in a nice cozy restaurant.

Great family meal for my daughters 18th birthday, food was delicious, great service, take your own alcohol. Magic tricks as well and a nice icecream with a candel for the birthday girl. Thank you for a great night.
