Description:
- Many believe that there is a lack of good Indian food compared to many other cuisines in New York City, particularly when it comes to upscale restaurants. Dawat helps make up for that deficiency. The elegant, spacious interior is inviting, and painted masks on the walls add a sense of the exotic. The excellent food will win over even those who claim to dislike Indian cuisine. There is tandoori and other typical Indian fare, as well as more exotic regional dishes.

Message from Dawat
Dawat, meaning "invitation to a feast" sets the standard by which other Indian Restaurants are measured. Ms Madhur Jaffrey, an internationally renowned Cook Book Author, Actress and Teacher is the driving force behind Dawat. Her genius for creating innovative Indian dishes and adapting classic Indian cooking to contemporary taste has earned her widespread acclaim and positioned "Dawat" amongst the finest restaurants in New York. Many of the specialty items in the menu are from Ms. Madhur Jaffrey's personal recipes, and are unique to Dawat. There are a number of wonderful choices and a cornucopia of Jaffrey's dessert rounds out the feast. The service is refined but friendly, ensuring a smooth and pleasurable dining experience!
