What can I say exactly except I was blown away here. I was recommended this place by a friend and it didn't disappoint. The seekh kebabs were juicy, the masala fish was chunky and very well seasoned but the crown of the table that night was the karahi ghosht. I don't know what they put in it but it was beyond delicious. It had a buttery texture and the meat fell off the bone. The tandoori nan were fantastic too. I would definitely return here!

Ordered a Chicken karahi, Lamb karahi and a Mix platter Mixed platter contained 2 Chicken wings, 2 lamb chops, 2 pieces Chicken tikka, 2 pieces behari boti, 1 lamb sheesh kebab and 1 chicken sheesh kebab The chicken wings were alright but the rest of the mix platter was 👌💯🔥🔥🔥. The chicken karahi was of decent taste but the lamb karahi was very tasty. Full of flavour and the meat so soft, literally just fell of the bone. Definitely RECOMMEND to anyone to go pay a visit and try out the food. Food was quality from starters to mains....

Exceptional taste. For the 30 minutes I was there and eating the food, I didn't miss Pakistan at all. What a delicious Lamb boneless Karahi & Chargha! If the chef was a female, I would have offered to marry her just so I could have this food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Grateful to the owners of Daawat restaurant for offering pure desi taste in England. Wish they can open a branch near Manchester University so I can eat even more often. Ps: apologies for the bad pics, my focus was on enjoying the desi food.

Having tried quite a few Lamb Karahis over the last few weeks in Manchester and also in Yorkshire at places which are highly rated, I can honestly say the Lamb Karahi here at Daawat beats all others hands down! Also really nice customer service provided by Usman. Will definitely be bringing more friends and family back here to try out this hidden gem.
