Signature Dishes
Getting out of the pouring rain and jumping into the hot shower. And curry for dinner. Of course Naans. They had a good offering of different naans. Be sure to specify how you'd like your naans done. We asked for them soft and they came soft just as requested. I had the kashmiri and it was chock full of nuts and fruits. Mmmm!Two servings of fruits and vegetables right? I've settled the fruits. Now for the vegetables. It was a vegetable shahi korma. Mixed cocktail vegetables. Now the understanding was cocktail as another word for mixed. Right? No. When it arrived, it was fruit cocktail. Complete with the papaya bits i love and random cherry bits. For a moment, it seemed we made a wrong choice. Well, it was curry so we mixed it all up anyway. And you'll never guess. It was absolutely naan worthy. It was entirely mopped up by dinner's end.Do you know the origins of butter chicken? According to a Discovery Channel documentary, this indulgent recipe was invented in 1950s, by a chef at the Moti Mahal located in Daryaganj, the central region of Delhi. Initially famed for its Tandoori Chicken, the cooks there used to recycle the leftover chicken juices in the marinade trays by adding butter and tomato. The tandoor-cooked chicken pieces were then tossed in this sauce and there. was. butter chicken! Pieces of boneless tandoori chicken cooked with butter, tomato puree and various spices including cumin, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, pepper, fenugreek and dried fenugreek leaves (Qasuri Methi) that contributes generously to the distinctive flavour of this dish and of course, topped with fresh cream. I was just giving random feedback about the spice level of the butter chicken (too spicy for some) to the waitstaff and within minutes, the boss was at our table, asking if we needed anything changed. He said he heard something was too spicy and he was more than willing to get it changed for us. We were already halfway through and told him that it was just a comment, I was more than happy with it really. He went on to tell us about how the spice level can be adjusted with differing proportions of tomato based sauce and said that we should let them know immediately if it wasn't to our taste. Genuine concern for your dining experience. This doesn't happen very often and least when I expected it at such a quiet and homely establishment. A very humble man, he enquired about the rest of the dishes and accepted our compliments with shy thanks. That's service par excellence for you. Just randomly during a point in time of our meal, I was looking over at the laptop that the boss was surfing on and when he saw my line of sight, he was all ready to jump out of his seat to see if there was anything he could get for me. I quickly smiled and assured him otherwise. Service quality. check!

I don't live anywhere near Dawaat Tandoori, but the North Indian food is so good that my boyfriend and I make the trip out here at least once a month. This is going to sound silly, but it really reminds us of Indian restaurants in Canada: a casual setting, friendly staff who treat you like a friend, and reasonable prices.Anyway, if you like North Indian food you'll love everything on the menu. The chicken tikka is tender, the aloo gobi is perfectly spiced, the paneer dishes melt in your mouth, the butter chicken is so delicious you'll be licking the bowl, the naan is perfectly chewy, etc. It's impossible to order wrong, and most meat dishes are around $13 and veg dishes under $10. If you come on a weekday you can get one of the set meals (see the photo) which give you a chance to try a few of the most popular dishes. They come with naan bread, rice, dessert, and a drink and are S$12-15 each (there are a few choices). Dawaat definitely strikes the perfect balance between offering great food and great prices. Highly recommended.
