Dawatindianrestaurant Reviews 24

To the management of the vile restaurant. I will never come back again, luckily had a small meal of your biryani and I can honestly say.

Please learn what a biryani is first of all before selling one. Basically, I had pilau rice with a couple of bits of chicken and the slightest masala you could get away with. For £8.. really.

If you’re considering going to this dump as a customer. Wait… go to Tooting and places likes Mirach Masala, Watan, Spice Village, Lahore Spice instead. 100 times better food and atmosphere to this fake crappy Pakistani eatery.

Ok taste. Fine for dining

Absolutely amazing welcome everytime we visit this lovely family run restaurant, the food is amazing, freshly cooked and very tasty, very well presented and good value. I would highly recommend this place you won’t be disappointed we come here at least once a week we even had our daughters 14th birthday meal here last week which they catered for 21 people and all dishes were piping hot and no one was waiting amazing service thank you

Purchased biryani for my daughter and she got food poisoning never again.will buy anything

Had some guests and took them to this place, cramped space,didnt have a baby chair, setting is weird,you cant add chairs because not enough space, potion size is too small , not even 500g of karahi, served in small pots,biryani potions wayyyy too small, served in small sode plate,that too not full, gratuity added as 18 percent, when i asked ,lady said it was sales tax, THAT IS A LIE.. I had guests so couldnt argue, had to ask for plates,glasses ,spoons.. and they added gratuity??? Was not worth the price I paid for tiniest portion of meals.. what a JOKE! Wouldn’t recommend , taste 2/5, service 1/5, price 5000/5..! Horrible experience

Excellent service at Dawat in Tooting. Food is perfectly spiced especially the masala fish. Also, an excellent service from Abneer.

We had our 20 th anniversary food at this restaurant,,but turn out be the nightmare experience, my wife had a food poisoning and lasted about almost a week and myself had diaherea for about 3 days.

I would recommend everyone think before going to the restaurant, because they are using microwave to heating the rice dishes like biryani, they are supposed to finish at the pan .
So be careful everyone before ordering any food from them,
We Indian we had so much experience about the rice dishes, we got food poisoning from their food think about before you order anything.
I will also recommend council to investigate the food handling ratings as well.
Because we don't want anyone going through same problem after spending about £50 .
So please careful and thanking you 🙏

The food was cold and greasy and u don't pay ur stuff tips as one of ur stuff told me so we will never used u again

I went to Dawat in Norbury today at roughly 1.40pm , and Ordered 1 Bheja and 1 brown Naan and Halwa as take away . They took So long to get such small order ready . And didn’t seem to know prices of things they sold , the boy who took my Order seemed Careless and kept chatting to his Colleagues when I would call him to ask anything ( name not known ) . They have this attitude especially with Women , and know they are a popular restaurant and will always gain Customers regardless of poor service. When I got home all the food was Cold and too much Halwa was in box ( sweet dish ) even when I had told the worker to not put too much in the Box . And this was not the first time I had experienced this kind of attitude. But previously I would just let it go

The main course came same as the starters though we said to wait.Nan was dried as bread.The cheeky sods did not say have to pay for the bottle on the table!QW believed the papadoms were free.But the water plus papadoms added to the cost.I had only 4 pieces of chicken in my chicken byrani.The mixed grill was too spicy.We argued regards the cost.Plus one plain plate of white rice for £6 is ridiculous.Pathetic.

The staff were late on serving our starters an it to 1hr until our food arrived

Just purchased 4 vegetable samosas absolutely stale the pastry is like curry flavour chewing gum. Great shame get there early for fresh samosas or pay for stale chewing gum rubbish. Will put one in the oven to heat up and see if it makes any difference. Their biryani is also over priced Tandori corner Thornton Heath is half price and tastes much better. You are loosing your usually above dishes getting greedy

Recently visited tooting branch, first experience..the manager was great, and staff was efficient.

Food was good, not so keen on desert carrot halwa.. but i would recommend them as we got great service and very attentive..in a busy Ramadan time..
Definitely go again..the manager went out if his way to provide hand soap when it ran out..

I would like to advise to the owner of Dawat restaurant to change your floor staff especially the managers in both of your restaurants the food is lovely but the service is terrible I had some guests with me & I took them to Dawat restaurant Tooting I had to ask 4 times for order fresh nan bread by the time bread came the curries were cold l was looking at the manager he just stays behind the counter with the suit on & the waiters just chatting to each other instead of keeping eyes on the customers requirements please train the staff of get some professional experienced staff otherwise they will ruin your business!!!!!

Clean fresh food and exceptionally tasty! Staff are helpful and kind ! Found the best restaurant in south London ! Thank you Dawat!

New restaurant opened in norbury. Lovely decor inside like a palace. V busy though and felt cramped. Service good. However quality of food is better in tooting branch. Overall good experience.

Tooting Dawat restaurant. Please double check our bill .Menu got different rate and bill comes it’s different rate when we ask what they saying waiting for the new menu. More than three they saying waiting for new menu .They don’t tell price is changed . Before paying everyone have to check the BIILLS.
Even I don’t want to given one star.

Really fast service food is there within 10 minutes. Superb tasting food and good waiters. Tooting restaurant. Simply amazing. Let’s hope the quality stays
