Dawat Haute Indian Cuisine

Without a doubt the Best Indian Restaurant in NYC that I have found. The food is excellent, the staff is professional and there is an emphasis on detail. I strongly recommend this establishment and always enjoy my time here when I visit. Please like if this post review was helpful. Enjoy!!

One of the best indian food restaurant in manhattan. They also have special recipes that you can not find in any other indian restaurants.

Amazing Indian food😋 Great Service 👍🏼

Nice Indian resturant in Manhattan We had one Lunch with my other colleagues. In fact this was my second time cisiting the place. They prepare very delicious food. Space is also very nice. Service is also very good. We liked the food. I should recommend others too. Thanks Dawat.

This used to be my favorite Indian in Manhattan. Not anymore as they clearly do their best not to invite children in. The food is still consistently excellent, but how can you still go to a place that clearly does not want your business? Definitely not recommended for families and family supporters.

We think of Dawat as our default choice when we want to go to an Indian restaurant as it's comfortable, not terribly far and the food is terrific. On occasion I've called it a neighborhood restaurant.....which it is but that's not fair to them. Dawat is a terrific restaurant and worth the trip even if you don't live in the neighborhood.

Dawat never disappoints! Chicken, shrimp or lamb dishes are well seasoned and delicious but honestly I could just eat the bread and I'd be happy. The Naan E-Dawat is a nice sweet & savory surprise and my all time favorite Poori, deep fried puffed bread, is a wonderful indulgence.

Two words...food poisoning! My husband and I have eaten at Dawat several times over the years. We went last Saturday night and noted how tired and rundown it seemed--the food, the decor and the service. The food was largely bland and boring, nothing like what it used to be. I ordered a shrimp dish and some cauliflower soup, which my husband didn't share. The highlight of the meal was a tasty piece of tandoori chicken and the naan, both fresh out of the tandoor. Other than that the meal was totally forgettable. When we left I told my husband we wouldn't be back anytime soon. Two hours later the projectile vomited started, soon followed by diarrhea, and continued every 15-20 minutes for the next seven hours. I was so sick I was on the verge of heading to an urgent care center. My husband was fine and we had shared the same meals for the past 24 hours, so I knew the cause. After spending the next 48 hours in bed ( that's how sick I was!) I was back in the neighborhood and dropped into Dawat to tell them what had happened. The man I spoke with (the only staff in sight and someone who had waited on us a few days before) denied responsibility and argued with me. No "I'm sorry, what can we do to make amends?" or any expression of concern or sympathy. Just claims of no responsibility. I'll never return to Dawat, ever. There are so many excellent, well-priced Indian restaurants in NYC. Do yourself a favor and avoid Dawat!
