Dawat Palace — Restaurant in London

Today I had the pleasure of dining at Dawat Palace, a newly opened restaurant in London, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere, which struck a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The décor is tastefully done, with attention to detail that creates an ambiance ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions.

Food Quality and Taste: A Culinary Delight

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food. Dawat Palace offers a diverse menu featuring a wide array of traditional and contemporary dishes, but I decided to start my meal with the Chicken Pakora, followed by the Lamb Karahi. Both dishes were exceptional.

The Chicken Pakora was a fantastic way to begin the meal. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, tender, and encased in a crisp, golden batter that had just the right amount of spice. Each bite was a delightful blend of textures and flavors, showcasing the chef’s expertise in balancing subtlety with boldness.

The Lamb Karahi, however, was the star of the evening. The dish arrived sizzling hot, served in a traditional karahi, with generous chunks of succulent lamb cooked to perfection. The rich, aromatic gravy was infused with a complex mix of spices that were neither overpowering nor too mild. The depth of flavor in the dish was remarkable, with every bite offering a new discovery of spices and herbs that complemented the tender lamb beautifully. It was evident that great care had been taken in preparing this dish, and it stood out as one of the best Lamb Karahis I have had in London.

Service: Attentive and Professional

The service at Dawat Palace was nothing short of exemplary. From the moment I was seated, the staff were attentive, courteous, and highly professional. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations, ensuring that every aspect of the dining experience was catered to with precision. The timing of the service was impeccable, with each course arriving at the table promptly, yet allowing enough time to savor each dish fully.

Ambiance: A Perfect Setting

The ambiance of Dawat Palace deserves special mention. The restaurant’s design combines modern elegance with traditional elements, creating a space that is both sophisticated and inviting. The lighting is soft and warm, enhancing the overall dining experience without being intrusive. Whether you are dining with family, friends, or on a romantic evening out, the setting at Dawat...

I only came here for naan and chutney. The naan seemed fairly priced compared to the others along the stretch. The naans were okay. All irregular shapes and different sizes and the order took forever! Wonder how long it would take as a diner. The decor was unique. Fairly new establishment. My biggest annoyance was the attempt to over charge me and of all things it was on the small plastic tubs if chutney. The boss wanted to charge me £9 for 6 small chutneys. I questioned him on this as it seemed a lot. He then came down to £6. Still a bit dear in my opinion. The tarmrind chutney was special and made from an array of ingredients apparently. It tasted good but nothing amazing. I dont like people being unfair and trying to make a quick buck out of something that's not warranted. You don't get business like this and this is a risky approach for a new fledgling establishment. The boss was.sat in some bench infornt of the till and was monitoring the front of house staffs every mive. They didn't look comfortable. There is more to this story but I don't want to ruin it for others or the business themselves. Check it out and see how it is. It would be unfair of my to comment on the food. All I can say is that the chutney was good ,the pakoreh were dry and hard to Swallow even with this chefs special imli chutney and the manager was a bit too eager to make a dime overlooking the importance of providing great service at a new restaurant. Risky approach.Good luck hope it all goes...

I order Lamb biryani and Chicken wings for take away. And told the counter lady to heat it properly.

1. First she heated for few seconds and gave it to me. And it wasn't heated at all. Then i told her to heat it again.
2. second time again she put it in the oven. And after that she gave me, the biryani was hot from top and cold from inside.
3. I told her to make chicken wings medium spicy. She didn't do it at all. And packed the chicken wings and gave it to me. Without following instructions.
4. I observed that the staff is very unprofessional, and even the owner was very rude.
5. This was my first time i visited this restaurant and after this incident i never gonna visit this place.
6. They don't know the meaning of Hospitality. How to handle the guest complaints and to resolve the problem.
7. The food which is been displayed in the counter. Is in danger zone. Because the food is been kept in room temperature for more than 4hours. Where bacteria growths is been started. I urges food safety authority of London to look into this matter. Where the food is not getting handled properly. And also food safety department should take a legal action, against...
