This place is great! The food was so tasty and a great, cozy atmosphere. The naan portions were huge compared to other places I have tried and as a carb lover, I definitely appreciated that. The staff were friendly and willing to accommodate us splitting the check as well. Highly recommend! read more

Never tried mango curry before. And holy moly, mango curry is absolutely delicious. Also I want to share, I'm preferential to mangos. Having traveled to Thailand and the Philippines where they have delicious mangos and beautiful women, I would consider myself a mango type a guy. You get to choose a meat with the mango curry, I chose chicken and it was so tender. You should choose this too. The curry comes with rice on the side. There's two things you can add to your curry. You can add the rice that comes with it. Tastes great, some people love rice, I'm Asian but I don't love rice, I only like it, I did enjoy the rice though with the mango curry. What is so savory to do though is get the naan (bread) and dip in the naan in the curry. naan is good to dip in any curry. The garlic naan went perfect with the mango curry. My mum and I also, got two more curries. We got a veggie cheese curry. This also tasted delicious although a bit salty. And the goat curry was on point as well. Can't go wrong if you follow my review on this one. read more

I can't believe I had not reviewed in past, Dawaat is my go-to for a casual downtown Indian resteraunt that is comfortable seating with a small bar. Always Fantastic food here as well as the past service. What is also pretty great is they are more than just Indian Food, they have other fab middle eastern dishes and sides as well, like babah ganoush, hummus dips and so much more, check out the full menu as there is something for everyone which can work well if dining with a party not wanting curry. This review, however is dated for during COVID take out orders. Take Out delivery by uber eats. The food arrived caringly packaged with plastic wrap around the containers of Tikka Masla and man...that sauce, oh my, if you order Med Hot it is truly perfect spice level! We also enjoyed the Saag and an order of the Mixed grill platter which also came packaged in a cute t.v. dinner with all the sides and various meats. The naan is huge and ya only need one order, always good with just a lil char on the right edges, mm. If you order the Spinach naan you are in for a heavy tasty naan, almost can be lil spinich sandwich for you! So you will not need saag that time, order chanda masala instead. For one couple we sually order 2 mains, one side and one naan and have food for days! The Garlic Naan is great too. I'm grateful to have a tasty Indian food that I can take home as it is such a comfort food! read more

Thanks to Gurjinder, my Lyft driver from Dearborn street to the Pine Street, I ended going to this restaurant for lunch. The foods were of decent quantity, servers were attentive, and the taste was decent. I dont know if they messed up the spice level or my spice tolerance has gone up cause what I ate wasn't exactly hot in my honest opinion but nonetheless every basic thing they did it right and more. Recommended!!!! read more

Daawat Grill - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I ordered same food late at night, so I decided to order from here. I was pleasantly surprised by how quick the delivery was, especially considering the late hour. The food arrived hot and fresh, and it hit the spot perfectly. I was thoroughly impressed by the promptness and professionalism of this delivery service and the food of Daawat Grill was so fantastic!!!! read more

Good samosa and babaganoush. The dahl was very disappointing (I threw it out after two spoons...unheard of for me). No cutlery or napkins included even though it was delivery to a hotel. read more

Fabulous abundant portions of authentically delicious Indian cuisine with windows and spacious tables, so close to the Convention Center. We had multiple refills of chai and service so pleasant. Please support this amazing restaurant that barely survived Covid and downtown issues. read more

Food was delicious and service was good and fast. Especially shahi paneer and Indian tea.

Daawat grill is a mainstream (by US standards) Indian restaurant in downtown Seattle. It is located in the core of downtown, very convenient for the Paramount Theatre and ACT Theatre. The menu is broad, covering the usual range of Indian dishes, spice levels and appetizers. There is also a very small range of non-Indian dishes. Prices are pretty reasonable given the downtown location, but not cheap. Food quality is good, but not amazing. We come here pretty often because of the proximity to theatre locations and always enjoy the food, but we never think of coming here when we just want to have Indian food. Service has always been good, although there is a slightly downstairs table that we find has less good service whenever we are sat there. On our most recent visit we had a good experience again, but also a very negative moment when one of our party arrived about 1/2 hour late and asked for a menu to order and the server refused by just making a face and shaking his head. Overall, this is the best indian place in the downtown core, but there are much better options only a little further out. Recommended. read more

My friend and I arrived around 6:30/7 on a Thursday and were seated immediately, as the medium-sized space was mostly empty. For drinks we just stuck with water and decided to order the Plain Naan ($4) to share. Note that the "plain" naan is lightly brushed with butter/ghee and sprinkled with parsley. The first slice was delicious! I hand't had naan in a longg time and the warm, tender bread made my mouth water. Once it starts to cool it's not quite as fantastic (although still good), so eat up fast! One order is the right amount for two people... we overeagerly requested two orders and needless to say, I had leftovers. The naan does reheat pretty well wrapped in foil in a 250 degree oven, if your eyes are bigger than your stomach as well. For entrees I went with the Aloo Gobi ($14.50) since I've enjoyed this dish elsewhere, and it's vegan. Aloo Gobi includes potatoes and cauliflower sauteed with onions and fresh herbs. While the spices/flavor were decent I was disappointed to find that at least half of the dish consisted of onions. It was more like onions with a side of potatoes and cauliflower. Onions are hard on my stomach so I ate around those and dipped my naan in the spiced oil--I went with "medium" spice which is more like mild so keep that in mind while ordering. My dish came with a generous portion of basmati rice, which was fairly standard in taste. I gorged myself on naan and was quite full, so I took home half the rice as leftovers. I also had a few bites of either the Mediterranean Salad ($6.99) or the Greek Salad ($7.99). The salad was a sizable portion, as well as fresh. The ambiance is a bit uninspired, service was decent. I wouldn't necessarily choose to come back as there are plenty of other Indian restaurants to try in the Seattle area, although if a friend/family member wanted to come I could enjoy more naan along with a different plant-based entree. read more

Great food, but pricey. Nice staff. Food is ready quickly. Excellent variety on menu too.

I called for reservation within 5 minutes as we walk toward the restaurant. Our table was ready as we walked in. Very impressed! Food are delicious. Stuff are super friendly, constantly checked on us. read more

Great food, but the server seemed like he was kicking us out because he asked if we wanted boxes/the check multiple times when we were clearly still eating read more

We love this place. Really good curry, naan, and salads. We go there anytime we are in downtown Seattle.

Amazing food!!! The servers are really nice too and perfect place for a good dinner or drinks!

We ate here for an early dinner with our one-year-old last night and I cannot say enough nice things! We were welcomed in, seated quickly, and had warm and welcoming service. They went above and beyond to make our baby happy and welcome as well, bringing her a little water cup and always waving back when she waved. The food was quite good. I ordered lots of naan and Chana Masala, which were very tasty. The atmosphere was calming as well, which is nice. In general it was good food, outstanding service, and inviting atmosphere. Thank you for the lovely meal! read more

Good location downtown. It was clean and the service was friendly. Food was good but not the best I've ever had. Portions were average and could have used more rice. Overall, a good solid meal. I had the madras masala with lamb. It was very tender and tasty. I ordered it medium hot but I would say that it was less than traditional medium. Didn't feel any tingle or burn at all. If you like it spicy, I'd order hot or "5". Their garlic naan was large and three pieces was plenty for five of us. They also gave a complimentary mango cheese cake to share which was amazing. The downside is that it was noisy and hot, even at 9 in the evening. It was refreshing to walk out and feel the cool air again. read more

Absolute best Indian takeout !!! It's a staple in our house! You really cannot go wrong and the naan is yummy and they give you tons !!!!

I order a chicken gyro hot LAMB sorry don't eat LAMB! I waited 39 minutes for it now have to wait for dinner. Thanks you made my day read more

We ordered butter paneer masala though it was creamy it was sweet should have been better little less on sweet side

Located across the Convention center. It's a little restaurant with great Indian food! Came here last night for dinner and it didn't disappoint. The ladies that served us were all fantastic! Great customer service and always with a smile. We ordered... Vegetable kofta Baigan bhartha Biryani with veggies Rait Tandoori salmon Everything was delicious and service was great! If you're looking for great Indian food, you got to give this place a try. read more

This place did not disappoint! Visiting from California, the price point seemed right, maybe even a couple dollars cheaper than what we usually pay. However, we were surprisingly impressed with the portions and quality of the food. Each dish had the perfect amount of spice and great flavors overall. We ate all we could and still had leftovers! The only downfall was that we waited quite a while to receive our check and boxes. We had to waive down our server. Other than that, everything else was great and we would definitely return. read more

Daawat Grill - Margaritas and mango Lassi - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Always on the lookout for good Indian food and this place hit the spot on a cold rainy night. We ordered through an app and had it delivered. We ordered the paneer naan and garlic naan, both of which were delicious when dipped in their curry. Also, they're huge! Had to go with the chicken tikka cause that's what I'm familiar with and it was delicious! If you're looking for something a little different, go for the mango curry. It's got a zing and it's sweet and sour and definitely something to change up your Indian meals. Big fan of the things we got here, so big that we started ordering mango curry at other Indian restaurants when we see them! Definitely would come try their lunch buffets when I get the chance! read more

We got there right before dinner rush. Food came out timely, service was great & food was delicious. We got veggie samosas & pakoras for apps, chicken tikka and butter chicken w/garlic naan = yum . Inside of the restaurant is roomy, clean & overall nice for a night out in town. Would definitely return if I'm in the area again. read more

We are from Yuba City CA where we have a huge Sikh population. The Nagar Kirtan parade is one of the largest outside of Asia. My family thought we had the best Indian food in Yuba City with the exception of London having the best. This place is the best! Beats London and Yuba City maybe not India but it is AWESOME! The staff is amazing prices are reasonable. A very clean environment. Great atmosphere playing contemporary Indian music. My husband said the Best Tandoori chicken! A must go to restaurant if in Seattle! read more

Food was great and priced reasonably. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. It's great having an Indian restaurant so close to where we live. read more

So delicious!!! Especially the Vegetarian Delight and the Mango Curry with prawns. Cannot wait to go there again!

Worst Indian food I've ever had. Stale items, lack taste. I won't be back - EVER. Ambiance and service are nothing to rave about either. read more

When I found out there was a Indian Grill a block away from my condo, I was estatic! Whenever I stay in Seattle, I have to indulge in Indian food as we have limited choices in my own town. It was easy to order my food online via my phone & pick it up in 20 min. Since I was shopping at Nordstrom Rack, I could swing by the restaurant before going back to my condo. I ordered the Maderas Masala with chicken. All of the dishes have vegetarian options as well as gluten free dishes. The portions are generous & the favors were delicious. I was pleased with the food & the service was great. My apologies for the missing pics of the food as I was so hungry, I forgot & dove into the food. read more

Daawat Grill - Nice kitchen entry. - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had the most disappointing experience with this place. We ordered delivery and the food was probably the worst Indian food I have ever had in the Pacific Northwest! The shahi korma with paneer tasted like stale rubbery blocks of paneer in mildly seasoned water. The bits of veggies in the so-called gravy were raw and I could feel them crunching in my mouth. I basically spat the food out. The other entree we ordered was the chicken tikka masala which was atleast edible but extremely average. Never ordering from this place again. An absolute waste of money and my tastebuds are still cursing me. Save yourself the trouble if you can read more

Omg another stellar find for a Seattle gem! Food? Crazy delicious! Everything we ordered was scrumptious and arrived in trucker portions. Value? Stupid cheap for what you get! Staff? Friendly helpful and attentive. 6 star will return every time! read more

After finding the Cheesecake Factory had a 50 minute wait, we walked up a couple of blocks to Daawat Grill. It was 9 pm and the place was fairly empty. We were seated quickly and ordered the Chicken tikka masala and garlic nan. The food was delicious and fresh. I eat Indian food occasionally and I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are in Seattle and craving Indian food. read more

First time here and the location is pretty convenient located right outside of Capital Hill and near South Lake Union. It wasn't too busy inside and service was decent. The menu had a large variety of options. We got a couple dishes to share amongst the 4 of us and had more than enough food. The food itself was pretty good, but nothing super special. Price was average. read more

I wish i remember to take photos! We were in Seattle from Boston and on a fluke ended up here. Neither of us having really any indian food experience (other than i dont like curry) but since this placed seemed to be the only place open near our hotel at 9pm we were willing to give it a try. I can not safe enough nice things about the staff. They could clearly read that we were struggling with the menu and approached us with such a warm smile & delightful tone and said "Let me Help". From there it was smooth sailing. We ordered 2 different chicken dishes and an mixed appetizer of baba ganoush /pita / hummus & 2 mixed drinks they also helped us pick out. We were so pleased with our experience. Everything was fresh and so delicious . The place was adorable, the staff worked really well together (thats a huge thing to me) and so friendly. Probably one of the highlight points of our trip. Im sad i will likely never be able to return:( read more

Excellent food! We had the butter chicken and lamb karahi. The portions are big enough for two-three people to split.

Nom nom nom. I haven't had Indian food in about a year, no particular reason, I just tend to gravitate towards Vietnamese when I order takeout. Omg I have been missing out! We got tikka masala and butter chicken. Uber eats was quick and still steaming hot when it arrived. Portions are ginormous. Flavor was 10/10. Seriously delicious and I'm already contemplating my next order. read more

Food is really good, we are Indian and super fussy. The service is also excellent. The ambiance is ok, nice but this is not a fancy place. Also parking is a bit of a pain. But portions are very good value, flavourful and the naan and roti are excellent. If it was easier to park near by, this would be the only Indian we would go to! read more
