Located at a prime location, this restaurant will not disappoint you a bit. The food tastes really good and the staff here is very pleasant and friendly as if being served by butler. Haven’t been there for a while now after my workplace shifted from Okhla to Gurgaon. Chicken wings and chicken kali mirch tikka are one the best starters served here. I would recommend this place for a nice chilled beer with chicken wings or kali mirch tikka.

Loved this place. Great ambience, good and cooperative staff.
I Ordered non-vegetarian platter. Fish was fresh and soft, and kababs were too good.
Could not resist myself from ordering reshmi kababs.

I loved the food here when I went there for the first two times, but my visit to this place last week was slightly disappointing. The chicken was hard and dry. But I am guessing it was just an accident. It still remains one of my go to places when I crave for some good Indian food.

Dawat Khana

One of the best and I would say hidden gems in Delhi, Dawat Khana is owned by Bhai Upinder Singh of the famed Bhai family who owns Hotel President and whose restaurant Tandoor has been known for decades as a great Indian food place. Tandoor is now closed but Bhai Upinder carried the recipes and created Dawat Khana.

I have been eating at Dawat Khana for the last 20 years and I can confidently say that their Mutton Patiala is one of the best mutton dishes in NCR. This is boneless mutton in toothpicks sandwiched between slices of ginger and an amazing curry. This dish goes best with their own version of Bakarkhani Roti.

I also enjoy their Kadhai Chicken and an array of Kebabs favourite being Lehsuni Kebab and Chicken Malai Kebab.

This is a highly recommended place and you must go for their Mutton Patiala with Bakarkhani Roti and Sirka Pyaaz.

In this world of pomp and show, this place reminds you of simplicity. It is a dhaba style restaurant with traditional and tasty food in quite affordable prices. Services are pretty quick . Alcohol is readily available and inexpensive too. I see no point in not visiting here again. 😛 Cheers !

The ambience and decor of the place is nice and appealing. They serve reasonably fair tasting food. Tandoori salad and butter paneer is a recommended option for vegetarians.

I feel though NFC is one of the most talked about locations in Delhi..but we have limited options to sit and dine ..most of the places are the ones to grab a quick bite. Well this place is a bit different ..you can actually sit back, realx and have good food in solace. Coming down to food in particular, we had a mix experience...though the food was ok to good but we ended up paying a big cheque. I won't say that the place is very pricey, probably it was our choice that inflated the bill..Food as i said...moderate..fine tasting and well brought up flavours..with what choices we have in NFC ..the place scores well..

I go here often because our office is near NFC. We often drop by after work, and have a quick drink. I love this place, but it is born of familiarity.

Decor: Your usual table-chair set up. Some random Spanish paintings on the wall. Music is usually Hindi film stuff, often older stuff. The staff are obliging about changing the volume. The AC is usually set to high so it is quite cold in there. Dim lighting.

Crowd: Mostly local and office going. Rarely, families. Tired looking, middle aged men in crumpled white shirts, talking about the state of the economy and cricket.

Service: Just excellent. The waiters have been around for a while. They remember returning clients and their preferences. They're obliging about little things. They're friendly but not overbearing.

Food: Run of the mill Indian/Chinese. Avoid the Chinese. My advice is if you're drinking, go with the fries (basic, home made, chaat masala) or the masala peanuts or papad. If you're eating, the boneless chicken curry and rice are your best options.

Bar Menu: Standard. Sometimes they run out of varieties of beer, especially on Fridays. If you ask nicely, they'll serve you a pot of very decent black coffee, to which you can add whisky or rum - excellent for winters.

Hygiene: Rather clean. No issues there. The washroom at the back is also fairly clean. My friends tell me that occasionally, they'll find some random guy in the women's bathroom (it is situated near the exit of the matter) but the guy will scurry away. Tell the staff and they take action at once.

All in all, it is a decent, quiet place to go to, for a relaxed evening drink. Nothing special or fussy, but comfortable and efficient. I would recommend it.

Dawat khana has a good barbeque selection. I was over the moon when I ordered some of their kababs with my blender`s pride, mazza aa gaya - kabab-e-khaas, afghani kabab, chicken hariyali and galafi kabab - all complemented my drink wonderfully. The mutton patiala (see, even for dinner, I need my patiala!) with naan was also good. Cheers!

Enjoyed a light evening meal, simple and tasty vegetarian options, plenty of options for carnivores too. The food was as plentiful as it was tasty and reasonably priced. Another bonus given the area is that the beer is also very reasonably priced too! The gents serving were very friendly pleasant, polite and helpful. The restaurant was really quite busy and had a good atmosphere, not sure they need the large screen TV showing random channels though. An enjoyable experience and I will certainly be back next time I am in the area.

If you want the taste of authentic Indian Food, served in perfect quarters, Dawat Khana fits that bill. They also have seafood options on their menu, and the Chinese food {although completely unauthentic}, is surprisingly good. They also serve alcohol and have happy hours.

I have been here a few times for office lunches. The food is good and the quiet ambience is convenient for official meetings. The staff is very courteous. The only drawback is that their menu options are limited for mocktails and desserts.

We have good experienced of this restaurant, myself with my friend visited this place and ordered veg and non veg food, we have totally satisfy with food taste and service. You can also enjoy the alcohol drinks here at mini bar inside the restaurant. Safety recommendation : Please avoid the restroom it was not safe and outside the restaurant which have another access by outsider.

Located in the district centre of new friends colony commonly called NFC is the restaurant Dawat Khana. This market is well visited during the lunch time by the offices around as well as from nearby Okhla. Evening time is family time for the sorrounding localities. The restaurant also has a bar well stocked with local and imported favourite drinks. Food menu is elaborate and reasonably priced. Service is quick and warm. Taste is good. It's a good restaurant to visit in case you are in the area and intend to eat out.

Amazing Punjabi decor. One of my favorite places to visit while I was back in college. Used to have a very attractive 1+1 offer on alcohol... Maybe they will reintroduce it if many people ask for it... Persistently...

Nice place to eat. Ambience is good. Service could be better as the restrautant has too many customers and few servers. The seating arrangements are good too. I would visit the restrautant once again as it was worth it.

Had daal makhani and paneer mushroom taka tak here.. Paneer dish was very good, lip smacking and unique.. Dal makhni was ok ok.. Tried pudina parantha, i didn't get any flavor of pudina In it and it was hard to eat.. Lachha parantha and garlic naan were also hard and difficult to chew.. But their butter naan was too good and so soft,, never had such a soft butter naan anywhere ever
