5 stars! This has been my go to place for the most authentic and flavourful Indian cuisine since arriving here in the UK. What you see in the picture is the Rezela King Prawns in the most flavourful and deeply spiced sauce. With a side of lentils and fried garlic. Let’s face it. UK is known for its Indian, and there are many great places here, but Daawat really sets the bar, and it’s the place to go to if you’re in West Midlands. Brilliant!!!

The best Indian meal ever I arrived in Knowle on business so not familiar with the area. I literally stumbled across Daawat India & Beyond and immediately felt welcome. The owner Abdul S was very pleasant and attentive, made sure i was happy with the table setting. The owner struck up a conversation with me leading to him asking me what i usually order and would i be open to trying his secret dish which i gladly accepted. Simple Poppadom and chutney tray for starter and the unknown chicken dish along with boiled rice and chapati and it was delicious. The presentation was first class I asked how i would order this back home in Manchester but he wasn't divulging :-) its a shame i live 100 miles away as this restaurant would be my go to place for Indian cuisine. I will be returning next time i am in town Its also BYO which is a bonus, Rated and recommended LK

Specialist curry always cooked to perfection. Excellent texture and clearly fresh cooked rather than the normal same old gravy! Best curry house I’ve been to for a specialist curry.

Myself and friends are semi regular customers to Dawaat and often visit in a fairly large group. Ash is a star, as are all of the staff. We are always impressed, hence the reason for the repeated visits. Tonight was a genuine eye opener though. I was speaking with Ash about his seafood choices, as I am a pescatarian and love the choices available. He said that he would prepare me an off-menu fish curry as a main. It was beyond stunning and should be one of their signature dishes. Layers of flavour, well spiced but in a way which complimented rather than smothered the white fish and great texture. I had it with garlic rice and air was a cracker. I do love visiting, and the only shame is that I live an hour’s travel time away otherwise I would visit much more regularly. 5 stars throughout - because they deserve that rating. Thanks folks for a great night.

Amazing food! I wanted a dish that wasn't on the menu (chana saag) which they were more than happy to accommodate. My friend is also has a gluten allergy and Ash couldn't do more to help - finding the best dishes for us. Excellent fast service too. Will be coming again.

Quite probably the BEST curry that I’ve had in ages! Knowledgeable about food allergies and great conversation. A lovely place to go!
