Dawat Indian Restaurant in Bexley

Still major problems with delivery now been waiting over 2 hours! Original delivery was for 8:30. Phoned to be told food had left and would be 10 minutes, 15 minutes later phoned again to be told they were waiting for a driver and to give them another 15 minutes. Clearly they have no idea what is going on . Shame as past couple of orders has been delivered on time but clearly this is an ongoing issue still!!!!

Delicious food - our new number 1 Indian!!

It’s midnight, I’m 12 Stella’s deep and hankering for a mouthwatering tandoori dish -15 minutes later a knight in shining armour knocked at my door with the best lamb chops I’ve had in a while… will be back soon !!!

Food was very good, but the smell of mothballs was overpowering, same as when we visited in Dec 2023. Its so strong, its put us off going back.

one of the containers was only half filled with the dish ordered.

Ordered tandoori chicken and it was very lovely

I ordered fried chicken and chips no fried chicken come

Delicious and was piping hot on arrival! My fave take away!

Perfect food order came way before expected but still fresh

Never had a problem before but the chicken tikka masala hasn't any flavour at all!!! Also I was supposed to get a peshwari nann bread but received a plain one.

great food try the fish curries

Order all the time and food is always amazing

Delivery is always on time and food is cooked to perfection every time, wouldn’t order from anywhere else

Always fantastic food from Dawat.

Absolutely delicious food and very reasonably priced, will definitely be back for more 5*

Not the best from Dawat as the king prawn purée was like stringy rubber and lamb tikka was chewy ☹️

fantastic food, fantastic service 😀

love the food from Dawat it's always piping hot and absolutely delicious

App said food had been delivered but it was not, when it was delivered the breads were cold and the Tarka dhal was very thin and runny

No I didn’t enjoy my food as I didn’t get. I got a call to say the restaurant is not open today even though it is showing on Just Eat that it was open. But my order went through all the same & it wasn’t cancelled. I tried to cancel it but there was no option to cancel it. I am unable to submit a comment unless I choose how late my order is. You don’t have anything to say it didn’t turn up

Excellent food - great portions

Food took ages to come. Was cold and bland

First time trying - food was quality, taste was immense! Lots and lots of flavour. Highly recommend 👍🏻

One of the best curries I’ve had - missed one item from the order, rung up and they sorted it as soon as possible, great service and hot food!

Good was ordered at 7:05pm and I received the food at around 9pm, from the estimated time of delivery it was around 30 mins or more late which i extremely unhappy with because the food was good

Food is always great, for some reason was over an hour late & cold this time. Usually great

Food was good but was delivered late with no updates until we rang which was a shame. But the food did taste good and was hot when it arrived

Amazing good food, will order again 😁😍

Usually early but this time late.

Absolutely delicious food as always, loads of it, delivered piping hot and amazing taste

Delicious hot food delivered earlier than expected and with a great discount, What's not to like !! 5*

chicken tikka masala was not great at all today and chicken very chewy in both masala and korma. Little disappointed to be honest as normaly the food is amazing and my little one normally polishes off her plate, she wasn't interested to eat it today which was not great at all. Shame!!

Poor quality food, waste of money, this is my last order here

Fab food as always. Just abit late but the good food made up for that 😉

Excellent food. Everything was lovely and fresh and hot. Really impressed with this place.

Another absolutely delicious meal from this place, delivered eary and piping hot

First time i have ordered from Dawat and the food is absolutely delicious, i will definitely be ordering from them agin, i had butter chicken and it was bang on absolutely thr best i have had in a very very long time, my compliments to the chef, thank you.

Delicious. Never disappointed.

Excellent all food was hot and had amazing flavour and brilliant portion sizes. Only slight downside is it seems to be one of the more expensive Indian restaurants around this area. Thankyou for a great meal will definitely be ordering again soon!

I would have given 5 stars but once again I ordered onion rice and got onion bhajis. I wish they would read their orders properly. I like them but wanted rice. Food was lovely and hot and delicious as usual.

Had to call restaurant as delivery was late. Just Eat said, 'Enjoy your food' but cannot do that without the food being delivered. Will have to rethink next time we fancy a takeaway.

I am from India and that's not now a ctm taste.

Can only give one start driver never read any of the notes on the system and food cold on arrival want a refund but that wnot happen with just eat to happy to take your money

Chicken tasted reheated and chewy, didn’t even eat the meat, such a shame usually my go to takeout restaurant ☹️may need to rethink

Absolutely great quality food great service will order again

We thought we would try a new indian... being indian the food is very mediocre.. not true to taste sadly won't be re visiting

Always 10/10 love a cheeky dawat’s

Food cold and chicken tikka was discusting and not cooked properly plz refund my money

Absolutely amazing food, but I ordered a keema naan and didn't receive one

Ordered a large takeaway last night from the Dawat, it arrived quickly and food was hot and delicious as ever with nothing missing . Lots of free poppadoms and sauces. We'll done

Everything was nice and delivery easy, food hot etc. Only issue was I asked for a madras hot passanda... which might sound odd but my usual Indian do this but they were closed and the Dawat didn't carry out my request. Still tasty though.

Nice & flavoursome good size portions definitely would use again

THE BEST CURRY FOR MILES!! Always superb quality.

Ordered takeaway/delivery Saturday night, it was delicious. Food was hot and family loved it! You should try it!!!!!!

Food was exceptional highly recommended the lamb jalfrezi , I order a lot from dawat but tonights was the best I have had will be ordering again

Food was delicious, can't fault it but delivery driver was too lazy to deliver to the door... You would think when ordering a delivery it comes to your front door. Can you imagine the postman leaving your mail on a high Street 😳

Delivery from 17.50-18.10, so rang restaurant at 18.10 and was told another 10 minutes. Actually arrived just before 18.40 !!

The order was over an hour late I will not be using the restaurant or just eat again

Lovely food ! Arrived on time and was lovely and hot !

Always excellent food from here

Food was too early,family wasn’t all home yet so food was cold when we all sat down to eat

waited an hour for delivery called restaurant told traffic was causing delay 45 mins still waiting phoned had a row told them I'm coming to the restaurant he implied we don't do refunds. Arrived at restaurant for refund and my wife calls to say driver was at the door. food sent back restaurant answer was eat it its hot. Absolutely disgraceful.wont ne going back there

Wrong sauces turned up. Waited a hour on top of the 40 minutes told when order placed. Had to chase restaurant.

Ordered online was told one hour no show called restaurant told another 15 minutes called again just kept adding on time eventually drove to restaurant and had an argument and got a refund 2 hours later disgraceful.

Quantity has shrunk and prices have gone up but to be fair quality has remained the same.

Always lovely food. My favourite Indian takeaway!

Lovely food! Great service best curry around!

Very tasty, very nice to get a free popadom and condiments! Thank you :)

Brilliant little restaurant, honest the best. great service too. The chicken saag is sublime and the host is cool too normally offers you a free brandy after youve eat.

We’ve tried lots of Indian take aways in the area in the last 6 years! The food from Dawat it’s the best…. Fresh and tasty!! Even if it’s a bit more expensive it worth as you will have a yummy meal!

Excellent food, great service on delivery, good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Quite disappointed, the restaurant is a 5 min walk but took nearly 2 hours to arrive, when I called the restaurant its just rang out, also I did not really rate the food, I had a pathia and it was watery ! Unfortunately we won't be using them again.

Shocking service. Due to be delivered at half 8. Still no food. Called and been told another 20 minutes. Bad service in my opinion. Rather of cancelled the food earlier if I new

Food was okay, the sag aloo didn’t have any potato in unfortunately! Delivery was late (around 45 mins after the scheduled time).

Excellent service & great food.

Over a hour and half late. On top of that poor attitude over the phone and wouldn’t answer the phone initially. The worst take away experience in all my life and wouldn’t even dream of ordering again. Absolutely dreadful service and attitude. Genuinely didn’t no if it was going to arrive. Don’t go if you value your time / evenings

Ordered a takeaway on a Saturday night at 7pm and expected to wait at least an hour...called them at 8.30pm to be told 20 minutes ...finally turned up at 9.30. Nowhere near as nice as it usually is.Will not be using again.

Never had an issue with good old, Big D. Amazing curry and the rice isn’t that brown bs but rather the multicoloured amazing fluffy pilau. Some restaurants need to take notes.

Order came main dishes wrong , ordered passanda and Balti called restaurant was passed around to 3 different people last person said they would send again they did and they were not very nice at all , the passanda tasted of nothing but coconut no other flavours my friend could not eat it , my Balti was like nothing I’ve tasted before it tasted so bland yet the minute it hit yr throat it made you choke both went in the bin , the side dishes were edible , very disappointed

Order delivered but they forgot the rice. Had to ring. They said ten minutes but it took twenty. By that time, the rest was cold. I will not be ordering from them again!

We have been visiting DAWAT ever since moving to this area approx 10 yrs ago. It is our go to and there is no other Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant around here that serves food to the perfection that these guys do. The staff are friendly and helpful and once you become a loyal regular customers such as ourselves, you may get a few surprises in with your order. We have had some drinks thrown in, extra poppadoms, an extra dish or two. We have tried other places as you do out of curiosity but never visited anywhere else a second time. The owner is a really bubbly character and very attentive and we love visiting here whether it be for a dine in or a take out! The only downfall (and this isn’t a negative for us but might be for others) is that when the restaurant is busy then the wait times for food can be long so I wouldn’t say this is the best place to come to if you are in a rush for food especially on a Friday/Saturday night. However we can’t fault that if our food has arrived late in the past/served to us after a long wait time, that is has still come piping hot and delicious as ever! Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. Just fantastic.

Obviously lost his alcohol licence for some apparent reason , cant see the point of going in there if you pop over Tesco's for beer or wine for your meal

Everything was so sweet. The lamb Tikka was like a very sweet Korma. In the end we gave up on the meal

Love this place always excellent 👌👏🏽❤

The app stated that the delivery time was 35 - 50 mins. After calling the restaurant to find out where our order was they said the driver had just left. That journey should have only been a 10 min drive. Our delivery ended up being 50 mins late. The restaurant then refused to give any form of compensation for the delay.

Someone recommended this restaurant to us, so we ordered a takeaway last night. Excellent service and the food turn up hot and was delicious. Definitely returning.

The food from here was amazing as always! I do find this Indian slightly more expensive than other Indian restaurants I’ve ordered from but the food is definitely worth the slightly higher prices

Very good food. Had to wait a few mins but the food was great as always

The food was lovely when it finally arrived.

the food was very good and tasty. only criticism was could have done with better marking on individual containers. otherwise will definitely use again

All 5 of us said best Indian in ages! Perfect

You know if your eating from dawat you need to order earlier than the expected delivery time and expect it late. This time was a little different. My order changed to delivered 20 minutes after the scheduled delivery time, upon calling was told it’s left, it will be with me in 5 minutes. 25 minutes later it arrived. Not sure the reason for marking it delivered ... maybe just to add an additional level of frustration. Food was good which is their saving grace. Will they ever get deliveries correct - my years of ordering from here would suggest not!!

Great food delivered still piping hot, as usual.

Dawat's food is always amazing and we love it! This is the only place worth ordering from in my opinion. Lovely staff too :)

Ordered from here and the food was 4.5 hours late. I had no communication with the restaurant at all, they initially increased my time for delivery initially from 7.15 to 8pm on the app but 8pm came around and still no food. I couldn’t get through to the restaurant and they did not call me either. Finally about 9pm I got through, to be greeted by an incredibly RUDE man who told me it was Just Eats problem not theirs, they refused to offer me a refund or to cancel my order and he was making threats telling me to come up to the restaurant. They told us the food would be another 45 mins so we waited....45 mins went past....no food. Rang again and managed to get through, this time the rude man told me it was the kitchen staffs fault. So what could it be? The kitchen staff or just eat? My food arrived at 11.30pm. I placed my order at 6.15pm. The meat in the curry was absolutely disgusting it was chewy and nasty and the naan bread had burnt holes in the middle of it. I was told to go through just eat to request a refund which I did and got an email yesterday telling me they’d put a free meal in my order so they wouldn’t be giving me a refund. There was no free meal and I have received no refund either. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COSTS. THE FOOD IS SUBSTANDARD AT BEST, THE SERVICE IS SHOCKING & YOU WONT GET A REFUND EITHER. I am working with Just Eat to get this takeaway off the app.

Still haven't received our order. 3 hours and counting. No one is answering the phone and not been updated. Awful.

Not sure if just eat or the restaurant, can't get a response out of either. Food not here although I ordered at half 4 for a half 7 delivery

My food hasn’t arrived and it’s nearly 4 hours late!!! We were told that it would arrive by 7.30 pm (an hour aft we we ordered) and then phoned for an update at 8.40pm and they said give us 45 minutes with an updated time of 9.25pm and it’s now 1010 and no sign of the order. It’s disgusting as I keep being advised by Just Eat to call the restaurant by tried 17 times and they aren’t answering! I want a full refund and not be no. 99 on the the Just Eat chat waiting list.

Ordered at 5.30pm was told 6.30 delivery it’s now 9.25 and I’ve had to order from another restaurant as these ones can’t even be bothered to answer their phone or deliver orders TERRIBLE!!

...we were so hungry after waiting over 2.5 hours for food to be delivered that we just ate without thinking about the quality or taste of the food (ordered at 5.35pm and food eventually turned up at 8.15pm, after chasing many times on the app and getting no replies to phone calls) ...i can understand they may have been busy on the day we ordered but looking back at other reviews over the past few months; this seems to be a recurring theme - so not sure if we'd be ordering deliveries from this place again unless we are ok waiting 3 hours for the food to turn up ...whilst waiting for our food we saw 3 other neighbours getting their food deliveries from other places turn up - if we hadn't paid up using a credit card in advance we'd have cancelled the order and gone elsewhere ...when we asked for money back on the app after 1.5 hours of waiting we were told no, but they'd pop something in the bag for free (which turned out to be 2 papadams - very generous of them to compensate us for the longest wait we'd ever had for a delivery!)
