DAAWAT INDIAN CUISINE — Restaurant in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

I went here with my family because I saw great google reviews but it didn’t meet my expectations or reviews.

I’ll start with the pros (good): Great ambience. It was nice and clean. The only good thing from our food was garlic cheese naan and garlic naan. That’s all.

Now for the cons (bad) In short: Food was below average. Presentation was good but taste was bland.

In detail: We ordered buff momo and mushroom tika which tasted okay, kind of felt like it was missing flavour.

-For our mains we ordered dal makhini, butter chicken, garlic cheese naan and garlic naan, lamb curry and rice. Our palak paneer was forgotten. The food wasn’t that great. Lacked salt and flavour. The consistency of our daal makhini was quite thin. We also ordered some fried string beans from the Chinese menu which tasted semi raw (hard). Rice was stiff too. Looked like old rice just reheated.

The service was average. The waiter in the start was nice and friendly but following the waiter change, the waiter didn’t seem to care or take account of our feedback.

Overall, I doubt I’ll come back...

The restaurant is situated inside of YATRI SUITS AND SPA, 4 star Hotel at Thamel. The restaurant's name is Daawat Indian Cuisine. The ambience is really nice (pictures attached). THE FOOD TASTES 100/100. The service was really good. Ambience is something to be mentioned. The chef (Mr. Monoj Kumar Basnet) was really polite and cared for each of the guests. He personally came to us for the food and taste. We ordered Pizza, Butter Nun, Butter Chicken, Sufiyana Paneer. We are mesmerized by the food they offer there. The cost is very optimized and the quantity & quality superspeed everything. Will definitely recommend to all the visitors who are looking for genuine Indian food. Loved it! Must...

This review is based as per an Indian point of view.

1st, The ambience is nice. But not amazing.

2nd, The prices are exorbitantly high Compared to the quantity and taste of dishes.

3rd, water bottle had MRP of 50 NPR but hotel charged 140 NPR in the bill.

No saunf nothing was provided with bill.

So, overall please don't visit this restaurant at any cost untill you are not concerned about the price.

These type of restaurants charge 50% more than the similar type of restaurants in India.

So, Indians please avoid it.

However, kathmandu is overall overpriced in food prices. There is no respect for MRP in this country. Everybody is charging there own price...
