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.

Great food, just not authentic Indian... – Dawat has some very good food, unfortunately it's not very authentic indian. It's really more Indian-American fusion, than anything else. The food is very tasty, the atmosphere is quite nice, and service was excellent. Of course, it's quite expensive as well, but on the whole worth it...
Very excellent – The food here is so good. Very flavorful and tasty. The waitstaff is pretty nice and friendly. I would highly recommend the chicken saag and the leechee martini. This place fills up quickly so make recommendations.
Exceptional food, poor service – I reserved a table for restraunt week June '05, the lady did not take my name down when I got there. Seated quickly, atmosphere is the hustle/bustle of the people/waiters around. Service is POOR, after each course, we waited 30min-1hr. Otherwise food is great for the taste buds and less on the actual burning sensation of the spice like in other less quality restraunts. I enjoy Indian food and this is the one for a must try. But the restraunt itself is quite small for a romantic setting since ... read more
Great food, but rice/bread are not included – I went to Dawat with a couple of my friends. We made reservations and were promptly seated. The decor of the restuarant is simple, but classy. The menu is pages long (a plus) and the legend will help navigate you through it depending on your tastes. The food was really good, but my party and I did not know that rice and bread are not included in the meals. We unfortunately discovered that we would have to pay an additional 9 dollars for rice and 13 dollars for bread when the bill... read more
Excellent service – This place defintely stands out for its service among all the Indian restaurants in NY, NJ area.We tried the "Tasting menu', and the manager offered to select the items to be served after taking inputs from us ( Choice of meat, allergies etc..). They have parking nearby (Ikon on 2nd Ave between 58 and 57) and validate the parking for the full price. The fish and chicken kebabs are very good. On the expensive side though.
must go – I went to dawat along with a couple of friends to celebrate my promotion.The whole experience was great.The staff was courteous and polite. The food was superb.Try the Baghari Jhinga Appetizer and the Lobster main course.It was a sheer delight.On the whole it was a memorable evening for all of us.Thank you Dawat for a job well done
Flashy fusion Indian food cooked with creativity and grace. – The Scene Dawat is a relentlessly friendly place, and servers are good about navigating novices through the exotic array of dishes inspired by Madhur Jaffrey, the Indian actress and cookbook author. Little here suggests the typical New York Indian restaurant, including the spare and attractive dining room. The Food The eclectic menu surprises and exhilarates. To start, try the bhel poori, an explosive melange of puffed rice, wheat chips, fresh coriander and assort... read more
