The 16 Best Pakistani Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"We’ve heard there’s an ongoing rivalry between Tooting locals who think Lahore Karahi is the best Pakistani restaurant in the area, and ones who back Dawat all the way. We’re undecided which takes the number one spot, but once we tried the Dawat special mixed grill, we understood why there are family divides over this place. It’s a casual, always buzzing, neighbourhood spot with groups tucking into chicken jalfrezi and friends fighting over the last tandoori king prawn, whether it’s the weekend or a quiet Tuesday night." - Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna, Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager

I had the pleasure of dining at Dawat Restaurant in Tooting Broadway and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The food was absolutely outstanding — each dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I especially loved the [mention a standout dish], which was cooked to perfection and bursting with taste. Equally impressive was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server made excellent recommendations and checked in often without being intrusive. It’s clear the team takes pride in creating a memorable experience for their guests. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. I’ll definitely be returning soon — highly recommend to anyone who loves great food and exceptional hospitality!

I had an amazing dining experience at Dawat! The chicken biryani was absolutely delicious—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and fragrant. The samosas and kebabs were also top-notch, crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful fillings. The overall quality of the food truly exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Dawat to anyone looking for authentic and tasty cuisine. I can't wait to go back!

The food here is very good, you know what you are coming to eat. The food came quickly and the service was great. Personally I would have liked it to be a bit more punchy with the flavours across the board, but that’s just personal preference. I would eat here again. It’s very good value.

Dawat is a very popular restaurant with modern interior. It was busy when I arrived and I have to say the food didn’t take long to get served. The chairs were comfortable, the table is a decent size and clean. The toilets were cleanish. Staff were very friendly! The food tasted amazing the lamb curry was freshly made and piping hot. The kebab was juicy and moist with flavour. The Samosa Chaat was delicious, sweet and flavoursome. I have found my new Indian restaurant and I can’t wait to go back to try more food from the menu. Next I will record a video with more food to review.

The food was absolutely outstanding, my Pakistani mum who’s hard to impress loved every dish and all of the options available. This is now my favorite Pakistani restaurant in London, and it’s definitely worth the journey. The service was excellent, with attentive waitstaff, and the food was also very affordable. Plus, the decor is incredible—easily on par with, if not better than, most Mayfair restaurants. This is definitely one to add to your must-visit list, and I’ll absolutely be returning!

Family and I had a lovely time at Dawat. They have a lot of tasty food selections and great service. Family went for the spicy mix grill and I chose a tasty mix vegetables biryani rice and a few other vegetarian sides. Was very pleased that the food was very light and not greasy at all. The mango lassi was an absolute delish as well. Will definitely like to go back and try other dishes as well.

This is by far our favourite Indian restaurant (for eating in and takeaway) in the area. The food selection is endless and everything is so yummy. The staff are very kind and attentive, Abdul Salam was extremely helpful and patient when serving us. 10/10 as always!
