Dawat

4.1

About this business

Many believe that there is a lack of good Indian food compared to many other cuisines in New York City, particularly when it comes to upscale restaurants. Dawat helps make up for that deficiency. The elegant, spacious interior is inviting, and painted masks on the walls add a sense of the exotic. The excellent food will win over even those who claim to dislike Indian cuisine. There is tandoori and other typical Indian fare, as well as more exotic regional dishes.

Indian food at its best – Dawat is one of the best restaurants ive been too - very prompt service, nice decor, wasnt too noisy, and the food was Great! The waiter was courteous enough to spend time with us to tell us his suggestions because we were unsure of what we wanted to order - and we were definately satisfied! Theyre desserts were amazing!

Fantastic Tandoori Specialties – An avid fan of the traditional Indian clay oven, the tandoor, and the many specialties that come from it I decided to visit Dawat on Friday night a few weeks back. I called early and made sure that they had seating, and was greeted by a pleasant individual who noted that seating would be available. After I arrived I made sure to try the Boti Kebab Masala and the Lamb Chops, which were absolutely succulent. The waiters were prompt and courteous and I truly enjoyed my meal, will return!

The taste was superb, and the quality of the meat surpassed that of other Indian dining establishments. Afterward, we cooled off with some of the very interesting Indian desserts; the item my waiter recommended me was agreed upon to be the best t... read more
