Dawat Restaurant in Wandsworth

I ordered lamb nihari (lamb shank). Although the portion size was good and the food tasted good, I couldn’t help noticing that the content had been bulked up with curry sauce and in fact there were only two small pieces of meat and a small bone with hardly any meat in it. £11.99 for this felt expensive. When I order a ferrero milkshake it arrived in a glass with a trickle of maple syrup sort of liquid on the inside of the glass presumably mimicking chocolate and a small piece of wet ferrero chocolate at the top of the cream with no nut in it. The milkshake tasted as it had been watered down. Even the waitress was not surprised when I told her the milkshake was poor and tasteless. I rate the milkshake the worst I have ever tasted. Even McDonalds milkshakes are at least three times tastier. Overall atmosphere and experience was good although I left believing the restaurant was deliberately cutting corners to combat competition from other restaurants in this case at the cost of a customer wondering why he and his party of 6 who left a generous £25 tip for which we didn’t even get a thank you should have dined elsewhere instead! Note to restaurant; People may not say anything but they notice when you try to cheat them

This is a place I would never recommend to anyone. Super rude and full of attitude manager. Extremely bad service. Food quality was terrible. Lamb nihari was the worst I have ever eaten. Please avoid.

Beautiful service staff was very nice food was very good worth it filling and immacuant worker very nice top tier I recommend 100%

The food was cold but shame as we paid because they over charge us.no apologies waiter don't or stuff don't get any tips so don't bother put any tips on ur card nor cash

I ordered online as I usually do and always have amazing outcomes with the food. Today I ordered again and took 50 minutes for the food to arrive to arrive but it wasn’t my main thought. When the food arrived it was cold and the containers were tiny with half of the container being filled. I am deeply disappointed with the outcome of my order. I hope there will be an improvement.

Can't complain, great food with an authentic taste. The service is reliable and prompt. What I like the most is the price, very good value for money.

We travelled an hour to visit for iftar, as previously we have really enjoyed their food. Arrived 15 minutes before end of fasting and we were seated quickly and given menus and there were still a lot of empty tables. My husband went to wash his hands, while he was gone they seated people either side of us and they whipped his menu away to give to another table before we’d even ordered. The waiter stood taking the order of the next table blocking my husband from taking his seat. He asked for a replacement menu and they told his to sit down but was still blocked from taking his seat. Despite having arrived first they took the orders from either side of us first. We ordered starters as quickly as possible to break our fast but waited over half an hour and they didn’t come. We went ahead and ordered mains while we waited. When I asked staff, they argued and said they’d told us there would be a wait because they were busy (they had said no such thing). We were surprised/suspicious the table behind got given our exact order and continued to wait. Meanwhile the tables seated after us all got their food. The table next to us ordered extra starters (seekh kebab) which came within 2 minutes, but still we were still sat at an empty table. Starters finally came and it was the wrong order, they argued and said we didn’t order what we asked for, but realised they mixed the order up with the table behind. No apology and just attitude toward us. The mains were brought while we still waited for our correct starter, when they brought out the correct starter they placed it on the table next to us but they pointed out they did not order it. They picked it back up and gave it to us and laughed and said, oh we did it again (gave it to the wrong person). By the time we got to eat the mains it was already cold. The food was nice, but the service terrible and the attitude even worse. If they could have at least apologised for the mistake it would have been marginally better. Really disappointing Ramadan evening. Won’t be going again.

Mutton Balti was excellent service good what's not to like just the job on a wet Saturday morning, my friend had the chicken a d loved it

Having eaten at Dawat previously and had a good experience we thought we would order a takeaway for my birthday for 4 people. This was not a cheap experience and was an awful experience. Food arrived stone cold as the driver had taken 30 minutes to get from the restaurant, items were missing and none of the food was marked as to what was in each container. We rang the restaurant to complain, they refused to take responsibility and blamed Just Eat for all of the issues, not just the delivery. Eventually said if we returned the order they would replace it. On returning the order they offered to reheat it all (not great bearing in mind how long the food had been hanging around for) and on querying the labelling of food we were told 'we should know Pakistani food'. The containers all contained 'orange' chicken curries of various descriptions so not easily told apart. We consequently had no food from them but have still been charged, I have complained by email but am still awaiting any response. Very unimpressed by the reaction of this restaurant in not dealing with issues in a timely and polite manner.

Visited for lunch restaurant was very busy nearly full. Large choice on the menu and prices not too expensive. Service was very poor. Never had the same waiter. Food came at all different times and was in correct. Had to ask for drinks to be delivered. Had to have my curry reheated, as it arrived 20min before the rest of my meal. No customer service experience at all. Staff need to be trained on customer service skills!!! Will not be going back .

Food is excellent. But unfortunately their service is very poor. In fact they don't actually serve the food at all. Very stingy. They are very slow in their service that the guests are forced to leave before the food is served due to delays in giving food You are lucky if you see the e desert. Further more they don't give you what you pay for. Unprepared venue. Late in everything.they dely things. Even after asking them they ignore you completely. So you pay for everything and they don't give you the food properly.

The service was really bad and put as at the way to the store to sit a table but they ask us to stand tow times to take the water bottles from the store and our order is too late and comes with different time and in a bad condition like the first order comes at last

TDLR: was forced to give them my umbrella upon entry, it was stolen and I was offered to steal another customer's umbrella! When I entered this restaurant staff demanded that I put my umbrella in their over filled umbrella holder. I didn't want to do it and another customer was complaining about not wanting their expensive umbrella to be stolen but wiyh the staff reassurance that the umbrellas would be fine and insistence that we couldn't go in without doing so, I gave in. When I left I looked for my umbrella but it wasn't there. Someone had taken it. The staff asked me if I wanted to take a couple of the other, cheap looking umbrellas sitting there and I said no. I was shocked that they would encourage me to STEAL someone elses umbrella to replace my £30 umbrella. They did not offer to reimburse me the value of my umbrella or anything at all. I did not want to make a scene so I left disappointed and another £30 out of pocket. Recommendation to staff: do not force customers to entrust you with their belongings if you are not willing to label them and store them appropriately to prevent this happening!

Dawat is a family favourite and I have been a regular there over many years, I've taken a lot of my friends and my now husband (who has also become a regular) and they all love the food. We actually had the catering arm cater our wedding! The food is delicious and is the closest thing to home cooked as I've had in London. Their nihari is my favourite dish and is unbeatable by any other restaurant. The owners and the staff are all polite and friendly, although service can be a little slow when they're busy. Because it's so popular, it's often quite busy so it may not be a relaxed dining experience at meal times, so I would suggest going at more irregular hours for a quieter catch up with friends and family.

We ordered 3 dishes and they all tasted the same, when we questioned this we were told they were different, they weren’t. The rice was bland and definitely not pilau. We were walk ins and waited 20 mins and other customers without bookings who were also walk ins were prioritised before us. Service was not friendly, borderline rude. Disappointing and expensive.

Standards have completely gone down. Food does not arrive on time or they make a mistake with the order. Their justification is “It’s busy”.

I came here for the first time with my brother on Friday evening - we usually go to the Norbury branch which we absolutely love. My first impression was that this was a busy location, with customers sitting inside to eat and others queuing to take away. There were so many staff milling around that it seemed like it was a case of ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’ - no one had a clue what they were doing and there was no order just organised chaos. Our order was taken by a very unimpressed man who just looked fed up - he didn’t even try to pretend. The food took a while to arrive and when it did, they had forgotten the drinks and also one of the dishes that we’d ordered. The food was okay but we both agreed that overall it was executed far better in Norbury. There was just something missing. When the bill arrived, we’d been charged for some of the missing items which was quickly rectified by my brother. The manager gave us a bit of a discount to make up for it, which was nice but sadly this experience wouldn’t make me come here again. My brother agreed.

This is an amazing restaurant in Tooting. I went in two nights ago and had the best Chapali kebab I have ever had in my life. It was very busy in the evening and the staff were singing happy birthday to some customers. I found the staff to be friendly in the evening. This morning for breakfast, before I left London I went in and ordered a Parantha and omlette and desi tea. The parata was divine just like homemade and the omlette was also good as in it was light and fluffy and flavorsome. I found the staff, especially one of the waiters to be very attentive and provided excellent customer service and was very polite I will definitely be coming back to Dawat next trip to London. Your food is excellent and please commend the waiter who saw I was struggling with my eyes due to dryness and just came over and handed me some tissues. Please make the rest of your staff polite and well mannered like him.

Where to start? 1) Service Slow, inattentive, uninterested when I mentioned to the waiter about my paneer complaint. At least 4 times we were having to call for service. 2) Decor Nicely decorated place good for an occasion or equally a casual affair. 3) Food Unfortunately this Pakistani restaurant just doesn't cut it. Third time I have been underwhelmed. Dragged here by politeness to family wishing to eat here, all unfortunately unaccustomed to how incredible Pakistani food can be. The Good: Naans, nice and soft. Seekh kebabs, delicious and spicy. Jalebi-warm, best dish. Perfectly cooked rice. The Bad: Tasteless fish/chicken curry. No depth of flavour. Sauces for poppadoms served in plastic squeezy holders, why?!? It is not a cafe. The Ugly: The worst paneer dish of my life. Strips of soft paneer with what resembled the fish curry sauce with possibly a bit of cream/butter? Inedible unless you are starving. So there you go. For me, my politeness stops here. I will not be returning.

Dawat(invitation) in the true sense . Thirsday night and it was jam packed. We ordered lamb and chicken seekh kebobs which tasted delicious . Mango chutney too good.

Large and busy restaurant, with spicy and tasty Indian food, good-sized portions, and fast but inattentive service (and a Lion King mural....). The chicken dishes (butter chicken and tandoori) were excellent, while the veggie options were just average. We went relatively early on a Saturday evening and we got a table, but by the time we left it was full and there was a queue outside. A bit stingy with poppadoms and dips.

I have been going to Dawat tooting for a while their food is the best & closest to a Pakistani cuisine. Their Chicken Karahi, Paya, Nihari. Biryani is absolutely mouthwatering and the winner is their Kheer (rice pudding). For breakfast try their halwa puri and achar (pickle). You would come for it again!!!

My husband and I were out with our friend who recommended this restaurant. We were not disappointed! Everything was super delicious and fresh.

I ll been here several times food is always fab and service amazing best mix grill and chicken karahi along with shindi biryani assistant manager detox very helpful with order I forgot about the falooda tasty like Lahore

This restaurant has a lavish interior. It offers a huge choice. Breakfast dishes such as Tarkha Daal , China Masala, even kebab if you want that for breakfast. I enjoyed the above dishes and a plain yoghurt laasi. My friend had milk chai, no food....

Amazing food- well worth the trip. We ordered a real mixture and it was all lovely. So lovely in fact, that we are taking a load back with us

Very disappointed with this restaurant and the food was very basic and not very tasty. The portions were very small. The soft drinks were warm and the staff ignored our request for ice. They charged us for a bottle of water that was supposed to...

The manager wouldn’t accept an assistance dog when I rang to make a reservation despite my explaining that by law they weren’t allowed to refuse.

Excellent food, great staff, reasonable prices, not your normal chicken tikka masala place, this is the genuine real deal, proper authentic food

We were a group of 6 family members for a get-together lunch and were very happy with the service, the food was really good and served quickly - waiters were courteous and we were all happy with the occasion.

Previously we had eaten in Dewat and had been impressed so we gave a present of diner for our son and family. On this occasion out of the four meals ordered, only one was acceptable. They ordered two meals for the children and specified no...

Poor service food coming in stages had rice waited 10 mins for curry while rice getting cold had to remind them to bring rice could wait to get rid of people poor manners need to be educated

Delicious food! Highly recommend the tikka paneer, chicken korma, roti and mango lassi. Great service. Will definitely come back

Dawat is my my usual favourite place but last Saturday the food was shocking poor, the mixed grill looked like leftovers warmed up the curries all had the same sauces And the Nan was shop bought Nan not fresh Nan made in the tandoor. I...

Got a curry for my son Hugo’s birthday - and this is the takeaway we got served - absolutely awful with soo much oil! I would not go here again I am really disappointed and will be sharing the word. My son is also now...

Really great food. The service was surprisingly good. I say surprising because it's not that common to have good service in a South Asian restaurant (in my opinion). Also really nice restaurant

Authentic tasting Pakistani food, which is what we were looking for. Service average, cleanliness average but on par with similar restaurants. Curries, starters, tandoor dishes reasonably priced. Breads overpriced in comparison but very good. Really enjoyed the food, would return.

My partner and I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant for quite some time, as it is always busy and seems very popular. We had booked a table but it seemed as if they had tried to fit too many bookings in at...

Abbas did a fantastic job serving us and fixing my upset friend and making her smile with great customer service

Went to restaurant and bought kebab rolls, samosa's, etc. Asked for salad and chutneys to be separate. When paying the bill, I queried the bill and she charged me £3 plus change for the salad. When I asked about changing the order, the reheat was...

Best restaurant in tooting I went with family from little Hampton beach my dad said let’s go here booked for 12 but my mum was calling them and didn’t understand the guy who was talking to us my mum know English

Love the food they have adults meals and children meals with milkshakes and desserts they even have a kids place with toys and tv to watch baby’s stuff recommended going here in tooting and even ask staff to do Wi-Fi and even book for a...

Delicious freshly cooked food with amazing flavour. I had the butter chicken with cheese naan and my husband had the curry chicken with rice. It was not our first time to eat here and it certainly won’t be our last!

Authentic food with good service especially from Awais!! I am a chilly lover and love spicy food. I told Awais my dish it's not spicy enough and he went and give me more chillies on my dish :D Highly recommended restaurant in tooting indeed....pls visit...

Whenever my boyfriend and I happen to be in Tooting, we always try to pay a visit to Dawat. The food is excellent and there are plenty of options of vegetarians. The staff is friendly and on this particular occasion Awais's service was above and...

Regular customer at dawat. Awais had really good customer service. Good location and good food ………….

The food was excellent the quality of the meat great very authentic food this time was even better than last time which was great when ever I’m passing through the area I pay this particular restaurant a visit

I live about 3 miles from Tooting but always travel to Dwart in Tooting as you can be sure of fantastic food. Today a young man by the name of Afros served us , excellent customer service skills , big smile on his face ,...

Went here expecting some good food traditional food experience. We were treated terrible wrong order brought to table and when asked if we could take away un eaten food were made to box our own in middle of restaurant absolutely treated terribly.

So, so easy to over-eat, here: everything was delicious. Plenty of waitering staff to ensure you had everything you needed.

Terrible and Ultimate disappointment for me in this restaurant. It was my favourite place for food and dessert. Sorry to say that this place need to learn how to treat and respect there customers. You need good training on customer service and how to be...

We went to Dawat after a long morning of clothes shopping in Tooting. We only ordered a few different starters to share and they were very tasty and reasonably priced. After asking for the bill we were told we had to pay cash as the...

I recently went to Dawat over the weekend. I got ripped off, and the manager Arsalan freely admitted to it, stating he knew this, and would not do anything about the bill. Food is great there but is overpriced. The food in the restaurant is...

Really great food, really fast service and a great waiter 'Haroon' who served us. Will be back soon!

Great atmosphere and food was nice too. Farhad was a great host too , had a good time with the family . Didn’t have to wait at all for seating

The food is amazing, fresh and the service was incredible. All staff was very friendly and we’ve even been offered complimentary tea from a member of staff and the manager Javed. 100% recommend! 👍🏼

Really nice food. Great costumer service. I recommend this restaurant and it’s not too far away either.

Once again a great meal at the tooting branch. Was served by Taimoor who provided brilliant service throughout our meal! We always choose dawat because the food and service is just great, and such good value for money.

I have always had great experiences here. Walk in and they always seem to get a table ready for you so quickly. It’s very fast paced but that’s just the type of dining it is and it’s there’s plenty of pubs nearby for a chinwag...

I absolutely loved the food but the experience was even better! We had two waiters and their names were Awais and Taimoor. Awais was efficient, quick and made us feel comfortable. Taimoor was kind gentle and ensured our experience was nothing but exceptional. Our ending...

Tasty, fresh food. Lots of different dishes. Good service and very reasonably priced. We enjoyed our visit and would come back again.

I went to Dawat last night with a few med school friends, some of them were white and we thought it would be nice to give them an experience of Pakistani/Afghan food at Dawat, a restaurant I haven’t had a problem with in the past....

Came for dinner and the place was filled with families with young children. It was very noisy and bright, so not the place for a romantic meal, but if you want tasty, speedy food, this was certainly a winner. We had the lamb korma (£8.49)...

I really enjoy my visit to Dawat tooting 0n 13th of October. That place has its own food with brilliant services. I met a waiter call mr. Avas . He was the one who suggested my dessert. Enthusiastic waiter is an asset for a restaurant....

We had dinner here regularly. Always amazing service as staff are very attentive, friendly, and helpful, food is very tasty. Highly recommended!!!

Good food . I have been many times and enjoy the food and relaxed atmosphere. Service is good and people are polite .

I came here on 2 separate occasions. One to eat in to order 2 currys and once to take away. The eat in experience was poor. Waiters weren't around and the 2 dishes looked exactly the same and were bland. Defo not worth the money...

After being seated had to ask atleast 6 times if not more for someone to take our order. We ordered starters and mains and they were bringing all at the same time. We asked for starters first and the chicken legs were burnt. The portions...

Very disappointed with the food and takeaway service Person who took the order did not know what was available, had to keep changing things. Biryani was off when warmed at home. Ordered saag paneer and discovered just saag when we got home Disappointing

Fantastic curry, Luis was a top guy and we will be back! One of the better curry’s in Tooting!👏🏻👏🏻

Went out with friends for breakfast had a great breakfast (halwa puri), Lasi was best one, in the end we had tea, good customer service in south London, Thanks Mr Javaid

Always love coming back to Dawat Great food, quick service and good prices. Service can improve but these guys are great and polite anyway so even if service sometimes lags it’s ok. Never put me off and will keep coming back. I have been living...

Was there before Covid but food was great, kebab rolls amazing, samosas super tasty, Did not try the grilled mix plate but it smelled delicious. Cant wait to go back next time I´m in London.

Restaurant was crowded and there is no separation between those coming in to the restaurant and diners who are seated at the tables. Like the other branch in Norbury where the hygiene was appalling, the cutlery is displayed in open containers without being changed when...

Totally amazed with the food.The dishes and their preparation style seemed quite refreshing. Definitely coming back for the yummm Falooda😋

The food was average and some of the dishes lacked flavour. The portion size was small but suited our needs as we are not big eaters. Staff mixed up our orders and we were over charged. When we queried this the female member of staff...

Visited Dawat last night with family. Great environment, excellent seating arrangements in COVID times, very active and caring service, yummiest food cooked to perfection. Enjoyed the whole experience. Going back again this evening with friends and family. Strongly recommend if you really want to enjoy...

Excellent portions, very tasty at the amazing price!! Variety of dishes to choose! Please try the rice pudding!!!! Lovely staff!!!

Double check order before leaving. Just ordered a few stuffs, drove home for 1hr to realised my order is not complete. Rang them they passing to their workers to speak who cannot even understand english. Requested to speak to someone senior there are none, cut...

Doesn't matter what time you go this place is always packed and busy. The food is excellent great tasting and well spiced. Prices are reasonable too. Nihari, Lamb chops, Lahori Fish, Sheek Kebabs, all good. Friendly staff.

I goto this restaurant a lot and I have had words about this before but it was dismissed by the gentleman concerned. Although all of the staff wear masks and there are seats to socially distant when collecting your order. there is one man who...

My husband rates this restaurant. For him it’s Chicken Biryani. So I decided to try a Prawn Korma dish with pilau rice. To be my mass dissatisfaction Prawn Korma was bland & some what oily ..... the Rice had no flavour, no saffron. Ordered. No side salad. Tooting has many Asian/Indian Restaurants which I will now try ... Dawat is NOT FOR ME.

Ordered takeaway for the first time from here this weekend. Absolutely loved it!Firstly, the portions are plentiful and the meat curries are literally packed for of good size meat prices, no short measures.Loved the flavours of all the dishes and just the right spice level. Cannot wait to return!

Excellent food, but you order for two or more people, they only give 1 chutney and 1 salad. So if you order a take away, SCREAM..... for more chutney and salad please........

This place is generally busy, especially on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings so be patient.That being said the food is generally very good. The naans are made the right way, and the wraps are very nice. The curries are a little too oily, but otherwise very good.

Ordered a simple curry and rice and ended up waiting over an hour for it. No seating. Back was killing me.

My son suggested this Restaurant as it was close to his flat.Looked at the reviews & mentioned it to a local Estate Agent, the signs were promising...I was really looking forward to it to be honest.The place is on a busy stretch of road with many other competing businesses, it was buzzing inside.Initial impressions were good, loads of families dining out & all looked like local South East Asians.Ordered a Mixed Grill, Lamb Karahi, Lanb Birianie and some white rice.Mixed Grill was not great at all, Lamb Karahi & Birianie were both good.Service seemed pleasant enough but it was lacking & not genuine, they forced us to have an extra rice that we didn't order ... Very strange !!The bill was much more than I anticipated as they charged me extra for not being a regular or a local.The Restaurant looks ok & has a nice ambience but check the bill.Might be ok for a take away or delivery

Honestamente, fue absolutamente asombroso. El gerente (Jawaid) y el gerente de primera línea (waleed) fueron increíbles, muy atentos toda la noche y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. La comida fue increíble, una de las mejores noches que he tenido en mucho tiempo.Todos cenamos y nos quedamos mucho tiempo y me sentí como en familia. Un ambiente tan maravilloso y definitivamente regresaré.

the absolute bomb, not a beer and vindaloo type of place, no good for drunks or stag party crowd. If you want proper food at a great price this is for you.

Segunda vez que visito este restaurante.Muy limpio y con una decoración muy fresca y contemporánea.Hombre con el ipad (disculpas no sé tu nombre) muy profesional y cortés con nosotros.Tomamos nuestro pedido y la comida se presentó dentro de los 20 minutos posteriores al pedido.La comida era excelente y bien proporcionada.Definitivamente visitaremos nuevamente y probaremos algo diferente cuando estemos en la zona.

Somos 3 y fuimos al restaurante 2 días antes que todo el personal, especialmente el hombre con el I PAD, es muy grosero hablando con malos modales.y encogen el tamaño del plato y aumentan el precio casi un 40%muy mala experiencia con mal servicio, mala higiene, mal comportamiento y precios altosno recomendaré a nadie

No covid measures in place. Food was cold and bland and definitely not worth the money. Stay well clear of this place

Impresionado al ver cubiertos almacenados en un recipiente abierto en las mesas, especialmente con CV 19. Obviamente, los propietarios no esperan que sus clientes tosen, estornuden y manipulen los cubiertos. ! Todos los demás restaurantes de renombre han eliminado los cubiertos de sus mesas como buena práctica de higiene. Muy preocupante que no haya separación entre la entrada y las mesas con comensales expuestos a infecciones por la gente que entra. Los recipientes de cubiertos abiertos son inaceptables, más aún en las mesas tan cerca del público.

Fui como parte de salir a comer para ayudar. Como otros han mencionado a continuación, el restaurante estaba abarrotado. No vi ninguna precaución diferente tomada en tiempos anteriores a la covid. El pollo con mantequilla era pollo al curry genérico, nada muy mantecoso. El baño podría estar mejor mantenido.Peshwari naan fue excelente.

Hoy nos sentimos muy decepcionados que algunos de nosotros queremos de Petersfield. Algunos de Guildford. ¡Pero no fue un gran servicio, muy pobre! ! La comida estuvo bien. ¡Tea & muhito estuvo bueno! ! Solo había dos mesas incluyéndonos a nosotros. ¿El camarero tenía sueño? no estaba en su trabajo. ¡Tuvimos que preguntarle una cosa varias veces! Pero en la factura agregan un 18% de cargo por servicio. Le he preguntado en qué se basó el 18% que no pudo responder. Hemos estado aquí varias veces, ¡pero no pienses en volver más! !

Fuimos a Dawat el martes 11/08/20 con un grupo de 10 invitados..Una vez que recibimos la factura, vimos un cargo por servicio del 18%, que era 28. 11.Preguntamos esto con uno de los gerentes diciendo que el cargo por servicio normal es de 10 a 12. 5%.Insistió en que es del 18% y que tuvimos que pagar a pesar de tener un mal servicio durante toda la noche.Son 10 clientes de los que ha perdido ingresos hoy.Ver foto adjunta.

We went to Dawat restaurant as it was during the offer for 50% for eating in.Let me tell you ... big mistake. My mother in law and son are relatively high risk during Covid. No social distancing what so ever. They have done nothing to safeguard their customers and staff. We were leaving the restaurant and staff were pushing past us to put food on tables. I understand it’s busy and there’s a lot of pressure but it was insane. I think there is no need to completely disregard rules and guidelines that are there for our safety, as it just puts so many people at risk. I had complained to the staff on duty and they said they would pass this on to the manager. I will not be visiting again. We ordered food and even though we were a large party we asked for a few dishes such as lamb karahi, chicken korma and mixed grill. Everything was lovely but they charged us £23.99 for the dish!!!!!! It’s insane! Not really much of a discount after. If you want to go out for a meal and enjoy it in a safe environment then I would suggest to go elsewhere. At a time like this we really should be taking extra care to ease into things.

I went to Dawat with family & had a very pleasant experience. The food was amazing & staff were friendly & polite. Our waiters name was Ronny, he was very efficient & his service was top class. Will recommend Dawat to friends & family.

Terrible place! Went to dinner with my wife and young kids. We were told several items weren’t available as they were busy. Most notably they tried to charge me for an item (double the price of what it was meant to be) for something that isn’t even on the menu!!!I did confront the cashier about this and they kept defending this - but can’t understand how you can bill someone for something that isn’t even listed on the menu!They should be ashamed of themselves - it was only a 8 pound difference but I decided to stand my ground as they were trying to be crooks!The previous customers who also paid that day also had similar issues.
