I have been to Dawett many times and each time my expectations are surpassed. The service is absolutely amazing - my family typically comes here in large groups with upwards of 6 people and the staff are always accommodating and go above and beyond to ensure that we have a great dining experience. Not to mention, the food is delicious and is some of the best, fresh, and flavourful authentic Indian food I have ever had. I cannot recommend Dawett enough!

Was in last night (Dec 7th) with a large party for a good friend's birthday. Our server was very attentive, had great communication skills with our table to make sure all our orders were correct. She did a great job at maintaining our table seamlessly. The entire party enjoyed all the dishes especially the fresh cooked naan, and were very happy with the experience overall. Highly recommend this place for a great night of Indian cuisine.

Dawitt is my favourite place to get Indian food. Highly recommend the meat platter for two. Mandeep our server, was so sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. Love coming here :)

Our favourite Indian restaurant in town. Whether we get take out or dine in, the food is always fantastic and consistent. The last time we went, there were 5 of us with one vegetarian and we all happily shared 5 awesome vegetarian dishes (see pic). Paneer Makhni is always the fave (like butter chicken with paneer cheese instead of chicken). The ambiance of the restaurant is great as well with atmospheric lighting and gentle music. PS Don’t miss their awesome lunch specials!

I recently dined at Dawett Fine Indian cuisine, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with traditional decor that added to the charm. The menu offered a great variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, and everything we tried was flavorful and well-spiced. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, and the biryani had just the right balance of spices. The naan was soft and fresh, perfect for dipping into the curries. Service was attentive, and the staff was friendly. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors in a cozy setting. Highly recommend!

We went to this resturant after checking the reviews and that was not the best descision. The waiting was quite long and the quality of food was very low. We ordered two dishes: paneer tikka and aloo parantha. There was no taste of the food and we even paid for the food we didn't eat.

Great food, great atmosphere and very friendly service! And excellent value for money. Came here with my parents, brother and grandparents and the bill was under $200 (excluding tip). It was my grandparents’ first time ever having Indian food and they enjoyed it. The option for different spice levels on the dishes makes it suitable for all tolerances.

The best thing I like about Dawett is their Butter Chicken. It s a fine dine, prefer booking a spot as they usually busy.

★★
December 18, 2024

We used to love Dawett. Butter chicken, naan, and rice are our go-to order fairly simple. While we ve had a poor experience ordering from Dawett in the past, we let it slide, assuming they were busy. Unfortunately, tonight has changed our view entirely. We ordered the same meal for the first time in a few months, planning for it to arrive just as our kids were starting dinner. We were told it would take 45 minutes to an hour. Instead, it arrived an hour and a half later. We paid a little over $50 for 4 naan, one butter chicken, and one rice. Oof inflation is rough, but we don t like to complain. However, when we started eating, things quickly went downhill. The butter chicken was cold, likely due to the delay, but what really stood out was the taste it just wasn t right. At first, we thought our palates had changed, but after a few bites, we realized it was the chicken itself. It was gristly, and, frankly, unpleasant. We couldnt tell if the chicken was gamey or gone bad. We love butter chicken, but this wasn t it. Now we re sitting here at 7:30 PM with a cold, unappetizing meal. After this experience, we ve decided this will likely be our last time ordering from Dawett. To be fair, we did call to share our concerns, and they kindly offered to remake the butter chicken. However, given how late it was and our disappointing experience, we decided not to take them up on the offer. This review isn t meant to disparage Dawett, as I m sure their in-house dining is great. But as a heads-up to others, you might want to dine in rather than order takeout.

Dawett has been a family dinner favorite for QUITE some time. My parents have moved to Alberta, but whenever theyre in Kelowna its a safe bet theyre going to want to go, and in this case it was for my Moms birthday. When asked, Where would you like to go for dinner? it took about ten seconds to answer, Dawett. My Dad may have cheered.

The food is really good and the staff is really nice. The kids especially enjoyed the feeling of being filled with good food. Vegetarian options: We really enjoyed the vegetation meal for two which was a delicious meal of several flavours. Kid-friendliness: The staff was really kind with our children and made sure they what they needed. Having said that this is a nice scale restaurant, the other patrons are here for a classy meal out with close friends.

Will surely be back:)

August 22, 2024

My husband and I came to eat here for dinner. We were quite impressed as we walked in. Although the atmosphere and decor was beautiful the table clothes were very filthy. We let our server know about the table clothes and asked to move tables only to be sat at another table with the same dirty table cloth. We only had appetizers and it was nothing special. Not sure about their other food , but according to our experience and the food we tasted I wouldn t recommend this restaurant to anyone else.

★★
August 22, 2024

Great decor Short staffed - food took for ever Food meant for those who don t fully appreciate Indian flavours. Eg tandoori prawns - was not even 10% of what they could be The flavours as mostly tomato based The egg plant dish - we had to search for egg plant

August 22, 2024

Worst food u can have ! U just get roti fresh , rest all taste same with no taste and quality. If u order chicken tikka and it s still left on plate that it self explains everything. I told the waitress also about it also nothing happened .

Very bad experience with the food, I ordered saag prawns, lamb tikka and chicken Biryani. In saag prawns, only the boiled prawns are added to saag and served no flavours or taste to prawns it is just like eating boiled prawns. Lamb tikka has no spice and taste and it is very hard to eat looks like not cooked properly. Very disappointed to order here after a long travel from Vancouver. Biryani is tasteless and it is not even served with Raita or Salon

We reached by 10.20 pm and they refused to serve when most of the people were already sitting and giving orders. I don t understand why you guys are open until 10.40 pm if you don t want people to enter at 10.20 and refuse to serve them, specially on weekends. Highly disappointed. Never going to return.

July 22, 2024

I heard a lot from my hotel manager about the restaurant that its really good! But once I went out to the place it was terrible experience with the food , it was so slowly served and the quantity is too too less for 15 bucks of butter chicken there were hardly 3 pcs i could see and it was so so sweet that i was literally eating sugar in the gravy and bhuna chicken was just full of onions and there was no chicken at all (hardly 2 pcs i could say) i would be never ever going there again! Thanks, really sorry for this kind of review, but spending 130 bucks for dinner, it means to me!

I gave only 2 stars for food as food was overly salty and not of restaurant quality. I felt it was heated in microwave and malai kofta was not good either which I barely touched. Other dish I tried was malai paneer which was overly salty and heated in microwave. That is why I gave 2 stars.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a delightful dinner experience. The food was delicious, and Travis, our server, was exceptionally sweet and attentive. However, there was a lady at the counter who lacked proper etiquette and manners when interacting with both customers and servers. Despite Traviss professionalism, she seemed to criticize him rudely. It would benefit the restaurant to find someone more suitable for her position. Overall, great food and service from Travis, but room for improvement in staff professionalism.

MUST READ BEFORE VISITING Food: This place serves the most disgusting excuse for food I ve ever tasted. It s bland, dry, and nothing like authentic Indian cuisine. Do yourself a favor and go to Ustaad ji76 or New Punjab instead. Customer service: We ordered Paneer tikka, which was not authentic and asked for a slice of lemon to enhance the taste. Nobody bothered to bring them or check on us. Server responded humorously rude and snappy, while billing when got notified about this. They didn t even give us forks to eat Paneer tikka. Worst service ever. No serving etiquettes at all. Highly Disappointed Definitely, We are not going there again.

Pros: Food was really really amazing. The portion sizes were really good. Ambience of the restaurant was pretty good. Cons: The service was horrible. We went for lunch around 3pm but the food was delivered around 4:30 pm. It was a 1.5 hr wait and when we raised it to the manager there, he kept denying it, and eventually agreed to give a 10% discount. But there were many of us and only few of us got the discount.

Dawett Fine Indian Food is a culinary gem that has earned my highest praise. From the moment you step into the restaurant, you are greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance that sets the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. The menu at Dawett Fine Indian Food is a feast for the senses. Each dish is meticulously prepared, showcasing the rich flavors and aromatic spices of Indian cuisine. From classic favorites like butter chicken and biryani to unique regional specialties, every bite is a delight for the taste buds.

Major rave to Dawett fine indian restaurant last night. I m celebrating our special anniversary. We chose this restaurant for a couple of reasons. 1. Wanted to eat indian but not eat at the same place we always eat at. 2. We didn t want to order in it s just not the same experience 3. Change of scenery 4. New experiences 5. Pallet sensations Ok so we get to the spot and our table is ready for our reservation arrival, (we called ahead to book as we were unsure if there was space bring it out first time). The atmosphere was perfect dark maroon space with authentic indian pictures on the walls soft indian music in the background and booths for everyone. Keeping your space as private and secluded from other guests. First on the menu we had to try the chicken wings from hell. We love spice so this was a must. We also ordered 2 king fishers just in case. The flavours in the wings were so amazing and super flavourful left us coming back for more. Not spicy for us but super awesome flavours that impacted both our palettes And highly highly recommend. Our main course was even better we decided to order eggplant bartha it s one of my absolute favourites and most places I ve been to does not do it like India . That dish was a hit. One reason being the presentation. Coming out in a dish with the candle below keeping it warm through out the dinner was amazing. These little thoughts of how to serve customers and give them an experience is exactly what this did for us. Amazing job. I ordered the lamb combo with the perfect balance of rice, salad, raita, and naan bread. My lamb was cooked beautifully Abs the tastes were on par. My hubby ordered the seafood combo and it was so tasty every bite left you coming back for more. Our waitress Jasleen was not only incredible she was outstanding. Greeted us like we meant something to her. Her smile was infectious, she paid attention to all the details. She never skipped a beat. She was friendly and honestly such a beautiful soul to interact with. She made our time Anna special day feel awesome. So thank you to the entire staff And team at Daweet s tonight for making my husband and I feel awesome. We definitely will be back and can t wait to try more dishes in the menu. One other note the washrooms were so clean and that is another couple bonus points. Again thank you so much to the entire staff for an exceptional first experience that we look forward to again. So happy Chantel and Oscar

I love the food I had in this place. Everything was so delicious. Their stuffed naans are spectacular! The servers are kind but not exceptional and the ambience inside is bit overwhelming. The interior design is kind of suffocating. Other than these problems, I would recommend this place to those looking for delicious food
