    Came here for the first time tonight. Had a wonderful meal with my family. Great service and the food was fantastic. We ordered eggplant bartah, coconut curry and grilled lamb with roti Super yummy! We're definitely coming back!

    Yes! Love this place. My husband and I stopped by here to get dinner before seeing a show at the Paramount which is across the street. I had the masala chicken and some garlic naan bread. There are generous portions of the naan bread and it was fabulous. The service was great and speedy.

    BEST INDIAN FOOD IN SEATTLE, PEOPLE!!! Get Your Little Noggins Over Here!!! I always say, If the locals from that country eat there, YOU EAT THERE!!! And oh boy, did we score!! Such a beautiful restaurant and the servers are so nice. I have a thing for Basmati Rice... This place hit the nail with the hammer on this dish... We also ordered Curry and another dish with Spinach called Palak Paneer... SO GOOD!!!!

    Nan

    I like India foods, but never tried in Seattle until now. I was not disappointed. Veggie platter was a good start. Then we order a reasonable sample of saucy protein dishes, with two kinds of nan. There were complimentary rice that proved to be beyond our capacity. Flavor-wise, they were on the mild side. We probably should have upped the spiciness level a bit. Biggie platter was a standard layout, they did not adjust to the number of patrons. Full bar, attentive staff, and relatively quick food arrivals. I will come again when I crave for Indian foods.

    Coconut curry, Mango curry, Garlic Naan and Spinach Naan
    Emma S.

    This is my go to spot for Indian food in Seattle. I've gotten take out numerous times and dined in a few times, and it never disappoints. The food is delicious, comes in pretty large portions (I always have leftovers). You could definitely do family style here, or order an individual dish, and one order of nann is enough to feed 2-3 people. The restaurant is always pretty quiet, but service is great, and the waiters are very attentive. It has a very formal feeling but is a casual spot and would be a great place to eat after exploring downtown. The only downside is that parking can be hard to find.

    Chicken Saag Palak Masala
    Elaina H.

    We did takeout but when we went to pick it up, restaurant was extremely clean with a good ambiance. The food was AMAZING huge portions and good prices as far as Indian food goes. The chicken saag was some of the best I've had. 5 stars for sure.

    Butter Chicken Rice and Tandoori Roti

    Amazing service and excellent food! A must visit! The restaurant sis very accessible and clean.

    Chicken Tikka

    Solid Indian spot, good for delivery or if you're around the convention center and want a bite to eat.

    That's what's left! Lamb Tikki Masala and Garlic Naan.
    Chris S.

    Exactly what I needed tonight! I am working a show at the convention center and let's just say catering is not very creative. Just a short walk down to the end of the block. Simple yet sophisticated small restaurant. With great service and really good food. Stop by on your way out of an event or before a show. I almost licked the plate but I was stuffed. Now to waddle back to the hotel.

    My friend and I stumbled into Daawat Grill with zero expectations and left highly satisfied. We shared the Lamb Samosas, Baba Ghannoj, Chicken Tikka, and the Paneer & Spinach Naan. Not only are the portion sizes generous, but the quality of food is outstanding. Our only negative comment was that the baba ghannoj was a little too smokey for our liking. The dining area was very clean - more formal than we were anticipating coming off the street. The staff was very quick to serve and always available when necessary. I would absolutely recommend Daawat Grill and hope I can go back again in the future.

    Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka with rice
    Melody C.

    While in Seattle, there weren't too many things around that sounded good and we wanted to eat somewhere close to our hotel. We haven't had good Indian food so we ended up picking this place (rating was good and food looked good). We ordered crisp calamari, tikka masala (chicken and comes with rice), and garlic naan. The calamari was perfect. Crispy and tender calamari. They give you a good amount. It was perfect for the two of us. The tikka masala was really good too! Just needed some chili oil / hot sauce. The rice was basic. Wish it were garlic rice. On the other hand, the garlic naan was REALLY good! Ate more of the naan than the rice. They give you a good amount and they freshly make it in house. Also, it looked like they have a buffet during lunch. If we go back to Seattle, we will definitely come back to try the other things on the menu.

    Garlic Naan, Chicken Jalfreezi, served on a bed of rice.
    Zachary D.

    Daawat means "feast" which is what I had today! Saved all my calories for feast of Jalfreezi Chicken and Garlic Naan. They used dark meat chicken which to me is more flavorful and moist than everyone that just chunks up breast meat. This was a real treat with plenty of garlic ginger and some chilies for a little heat. Daawat also serves one of the largest servings of naan bread I have had recently. 1) This inauspicious grill nestled in the heart of Seattle is close to a white cloth restaurant with a full bar and great staff. 2) My food was just right for the afternoon and my sauce was plenty to cover the chicken and some to dip the naan in. 3) I have to say they have some menu options that I had not seen before and when I return I will have to try. Rogan Josh and Jalfreezi are my jam or I would have this time around.

    My husband and I went to taste of India on a rainy Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. The inside…read morewas warm and cozy, and our servers were prompt and attentive. The currys were piping hot and delicious. I've struggled to find great butter masala in Seattle, and taste of India's hit the mark! Not pictured, but their naans are huge. My husband and I each ordered naan, and the amount of rice, curry, and naan was the perfect amount for a full serving of leftovers. We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary samosa appetizers and chocolate torte dessert. Ultimately this place is fantastic and we look forward to coming back- would love to come on a summer evening and sit outside on their patio.

    so, this place is pretty clearly, and almost objectively so, made exclusively for westerners…read more what i mean by that is that this place serves Indian food that will not attempt to challenge western palettes in any way - rather its goal is to have people walking out with a mildly positive attitude towards the food. if someone were to ask them how the food was, they will say that it's fine and say that indian food is an underrated cuisine. the first indication of this that caught my eye was on the menu, where it was listed that "all spice levels are American standard". The fact that this is on the menu at an *Indian restaurant* is pretty ridiculous, in my opinion. I'll get to the spice levels later The second indication was when the waiter brought out our naan, and said "Here's your naan bread". I almost laughed out loud at this point. Naan bread? Thank god we didn't order chai or he would've said "Here's your chai tea". when we actually got our food, it was as disappointing as I expected Despite the fact that I ordered the 'Hot' spice level (the second highest), this had utterly no spice at all. I know that I have a high spice tolerance, but you know it's not good when other people at my table who have a low tolerance cannot taste any spice whatsoever. I've had hotter dishes ordering the 'Hot' level at American restaurants! In addition to there not being any spice, there was pretty much no flavor at all to the curries. There was just no point to the gravy on both the Jaipuri "Masala" and the Vegetable Kofta, as it both cases it was quite bland and essentially tasted like nothing. The paneer and the kofta were ok - but nothing more than average. Again, the lack of any kind of flavor is just crazy. Our table also got the Biryani, which had decent vegetables but also suffered from a lack of flavor The roti and garlic naan that we got were really hard and difficult to break apart. not very good at all If you're Indian - do not come here - you'll get far better Indian food either a) at home or b) at another place If you're not Indian - I would highly recommend trying another place to actually get a taste of what Indian food is really like. This watered-down version simply isn't it. I would recommend Saffron Grill in Northgate for an example of Indian food done correctly on the positive side, one thing i appreciated about this menu is the customization available for different curries this is especially helpful when it relates to giving options to vegetarians, as it doesn't restrict people who are vegetarian to specific curry options having paneer, vegetables, and tofu options available for each curry is pretty good i also thought the spinach naan was pretty good. out of all the bread we ordered, it was the only naan that managed to be soft, and easy to pull apart the spinach inside tasted pretty good as well the complimentary samosas (although clearly reheated from frozen) and sweet at the end was a decent touch the portion sizes were also decent - the amount of rice that came with the curry was pretty significant
