Great ambience, comfortable seating, nice staff and good food. Buffet can be improved but it's not bad. Prices are good. Will definitely recommend this place for family gatherings.
Such a nice place for lunch at Panaji , not sure how I missed it in my last trip to Goa. It’s a nice place with tasty food ..Location is calm and cool..Food is good and the staff are well behaved. More than anything I liked the locale. I thank folks at Daawat for such a nice experience.
The restaurant is a part of Hotel Campal, in the heart of city. They're known for the extremely filling authentic fish thali. Personally verified. It is extremely delicious and massive. Even chicken thali served here is generous and tasty.
A la carte dishes too are top notch. Every dish is remarkable. I've tried almost half their menu in my umpteen visists and there is no single dish that has left me complaining. Personal attention to every dish by the manager goes a long way in ensuring it's quality.
Service is friendly and very efficient. Well groomed hospitality.
And of course goes without saying, as the word of mouth is Biryani is excellent.
Good food, but i dont know why you guys stopped thali and buffet... I use to love it when i visited. Bring it back... Rest some more variety is needed...
To begin with, the staff is very humble and the service is excellent..have been to this place many times with my family and friends and it has never disappointed me..food quality is very good and food presentation compliments it...Special mention for Ankit as I feel he makes the best Daiquiri cocktail..a happy customer!! 😊
Good food. Good ambience . Love the food here. The gravy items are one of the best in goa. The staff is also very well behaved. Love the soup and caramel custard here
Trying to find the best thali and this time I stopped at Daawat to try it out. Ambience is chill and service was great. A variety of stuff offered at a reasonable price. Must try!
It a best and best place to have meal because the location is best great parking the staff of the restaurant is very polite and humble the food is very good and we do visit again keep up the greatvwork
Great place to have seafood as well as chicken....the staff guided us really well to their top dishes.....fish is really fresh and the preparation is always exquisite...waiting to go here once again....half a star extra and a special mention for the really polite and useful staff...this one in panjim is a must try

Daawat is located on the busy streets of panjim. Google maps will help you reach at the exact place. This one is located on the ground floor. The place is pretty lit and has a simple decor. Perfect for large groups, families and friends. They have comfortable chairs and tables to enjoy your meal at leisure. This place specializes in north Indian food with variants of tandoors and gravies. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They curate some special dishes on special requests. They always had a smile on their face.
Few checks
Food - vegetarian and non vegetarian
Alcohol - Yes
Service – On time
Cost – pretty reasonable
Seating – huge groups
Staff – trained and friendly
Some dishes to try:
Chonak Fry – my favorite from the evening. Chonak is a very freshly available fish in goa. Perfectly marinated and coated in spices. It goes well with a sprinkle of lemon on it. The fish was perfectly cooked.
Mushroom soup – It was quite filling and decent in taste.
Sweet corn soup – It was made with fresh ingredients and tasted decent.
Santra mantra – a refreshing mocktail made with fresh ingredients. Loved the taste and the dressing
Special potato sabzi – I dont remember the name of this dish but i do remember the taste. It was excellent. Starting from the texture, colour, taste and quality, everything was pretty damn good.
Serradura – Last but not the least, i tried the serradura. Serradura is a dessert which is originated in portugal. It means sawdust pudding in portuguese. It is a simple dessert made with cream/milk and marie biscuit, but it tastes heavenly.
It is a perfect place to go for a heavy and tasty dinner accompanied by your family/friends.
Daawat is a place if u want to have a peaceful time. Recommended for family and groups.Give it a try for their sizzling crusines and an awesome presentation.The service is also very quick.
The food was awesome.
Excellent service and ambience.
Being from mumbai i have visited lot of good restaurants..but this right here is one of the greatest restaurants. All the dishes we ordered were excellent. We were a group of 8 friends including both vegetarians and non vegetarians. Everyone liked the place and enjoyed the food. The price was reasonable as well. Must visit.
Best dishes-
Paneer tikka
Cheese garlic naan
Vellyos rava fry
Stuffed crabs
Squid butter garlic
Masala king fish
Kababs
Best food and ambience for the price. I would highly recommend it, as goa being a tourist place, most of the other restaurants simply charge you crazy and serve bad food.
A great day with excellent food makes it indeed memorable..after a long tiring day we ended up landing at DAAWAT. Frankly speaking had not expected much from this place, but to r surprise the food was excellent. Squid butter garlic, cheese garlic naan , chicken manchaow soup were unexpectedly awesome . Still remember the taste. Lastly we had the fish platter which is truly worth the price for such fresh and tasty variety of seafood.
Would surely visit again in our next trip to Goa.
Very good place to enjoy food wth fmly & friends. Soothing ambience with old & new classic songs. Attentive staff , excellent food. Both veg and non veg options available to chose from. Stuff crabs , prawns balchao , stuff squids are sure to have. Worth visiting this place for such delicious food .
Love this restaurant. A must every time we come to Goa. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Food is Delicious. One of my favorite plates is the squid batter fry with biryani. Costs are reasonable compared to other restaurants around.
Great food and outstanding service! Manager came out to greet us and took good care of us. Highly recommend this place! Murgi reshmi kabab and fish 65 is my favorite food. I had been to goa and there for three days. Will be back next time we're in goa.
Had heard a lot about this place..so thought of giving a visit. The ambience is cozy , service is very smooth and the food is just too delicious. Tried Rawa fried chicken, paneer tikka , chonak masala fry , and prawns rawa fry. The prawns were local manshechi prawns which were super fresh & tasty. Must try is the fried ice cream .
Well being from Bangalore we are used to good food and service and we're expecting the same in Goa.
After trying out few restaurants in Calangute and Baga, finally decided to visit Fisherman's Warf situated in Panjim, But we eventually landed here at Dawaat. And it was one of the best things that happened in Goa.
Ambeience 4.5
Service 4.5
Food 5
Pricing 5
Well to know why the overall rating is 5, one must try the
Vellyos rava fry
Chicken chilly goan style
Masala King fish
Dawaat is now added to our list of must visit restaurants in Goa.
Ambience : The ambience was pretty decent.
Location : Being a Goan it is a little rough to find but Google maps will make it easy.
It is a little away from the Panjim main road at around 50 mtrs far.
Cleanliness : The place was really clean. The mat was changed after each meal. The toilets were also really clean.
Service : The servers were well dressed and they could converse also really well.
Food : For soup the Chicken manchow soup was well cooked, no too much use of garlic(which is good), few chicken pieces, used the healthy noodles.
For starters : Chicken Punjabi kebab was well cooked, was tender and moist and the spices were amazing. It would have been better if it could be a little spicy cause there was no spice at all in if.
Chicken Tikka kebab were well marinated, tender and moist and very soothing to the taste buds.
For main course : Chicken biryani was really spicy(which I prefer). There was enough pieces in it and even a egg. Really nice.
Loved the food, ambience service, like to visit next time. Very good place for families to visit. I suggest garlic cheese naan, stuffed cheese mushroom
These guys have got their name just right! Their lunch executive meals is just 😍! Must try their butter chicken, chicken cafreal, and not to forget the kebabs 💯!
This place is a must try! #goodfood #greatservice
dawat is a best place for food in panjim , if u are going with family for dining then this place u should go .
try sinone rava fry , kafrial , lemon soup , fish fry .
ambiance : 3 it's ok ok not that great
food : 4.5 cz I feel it's really nice
value for money : 4
service : 3
One of best option for thali..... little difficult to find but worth a search. Tried chicken thali & fish thali on second visit..... both the times felt good about service & quality of food..... 👍🏻
Few veg items can be deducted from fish as well as chicken thali.
The food is good, I would suggest to go for Indian, the staff is kind, the ambience too is good. It's a good place to go with the family and friends. The price is quite affordable.
We ordered the food for home delivery but the chicken gravy was not good it was our first time and maybe the last as well dissatisfied with the food even the delivery took too much time
Daawat is Like a temple we as a family religiously go to when in Panjim. Next to Wendell Rodrigues boutique , this hotel has plenty of parking space which is next to finding a needle in a hack stack in Panjim .Great staff , Great food and a Great well lit neat hotel( I've never used the word Great so many times in one sentence 😅) .To top it is their steal deal lunch buffet for just less than 300 bucks but the unlimited fried kingfish and the fruit salad / kheer is a let down, that is frequently repeated in the buffer menu ..My recommendations are their dry chicken starters .. u can't go wrong with anything but my 👍picks are chicken manchurian dry,chicken lollipop tossed,lovely potato,chicken biryani and schezwan fried rice.. 👎picks are their fish fry dishes,chicken punjabi kebab and their chicken Hyderabadi .Overall a definite go!
We opted for the unlimited buffet. You get a fresh/sweet lime soda when you sit down. The buffet has quite a few dishes, all of them average! Fish curry was a bit watered down. You get one piece of kingfish (limited) custard/fruit salad was a complete let down. Street parking is available.
Food was very good.
Excellent service.
Ambience was very good.
Probably the best North Indian food to try out in Panaji within reasonable prices.
Enjoyed our dinner over there. Will Recommend everyone.
Food quality was great. And the quantity was also good. Their mocktails were also refreshing.
Service was up to mark. The waiters are friendly and ready to serve you.
Ambiance is good. Not great but simply good.
Food is priced reasonable.
Overall it was a very good experience.
Great ambience. They have the buffet system along with normal restaurant menu. We tried the buffet and it was pretty good. There are a variety of veg and non veg starters along with soup. The main course consisted of Rice, Jeera Rice, Curry and Gravy-Nan and they also serve one large fish piece. The service is very quick and the prices are decent as well. Overall, a good visit.
The place is elegant. The price of the buffet is very low as per d variety of food they serve. It should be a must try restaurant on every foodie's list. The buffet of friday n thursday r execptionally well! D best part for me was d unlimited gulab jamuns served 😂
Amazing ambience with super tasty food
Must try:schezwan fried rice
The staff is very good
The buffet is always a quick, affordable and the best option to grab food the fastest in panjim
Overall its always a great experience in Daawat
Had been here with my friends for lunch. We tried their buffet and it was really great with lot of variety and taste. The tangdi kababs are delicious. Since its a buffet system there is no need to worry of the quantity. Staff is welcoming and ambience is good. One of my favourite places to dine.
Food is very tasty....home like...the service of the staff and ambience gives this place a plus point.....and also it's pocket friendly....,
Friendly staff, great food and mostly importantly fresh sea food.
Try singapuri chilly or chicken crispy tossed with shezwan sauce or anything in seafood

the food at daawat is good. i dropped in with my colleagues in the afternoon for the buffet and was surprised to see that they had a buffet. without thinking about anything further we decided to try out their buffet and were immediately surprised to see the number of dishes put up.. Its always a happy site for foodie like me to see lots of good food put up for me.. There was a bigger smile when i saw the bill. It was too reasonable. Thanks for the wonderful experience
Worthplace to visit...... Good taste. Friendly staff and budget friendly prices. And good offers also. Worth try in panjim. Will surely come again.

Great food. Good ambience. A must try.....
A family restaurant with perfectly priced menu.
Chinse . North Indian food with so many great offers
Delicious and tasty food.... Nice quality food..... Speacially i loved King fish rava fry..... staffs are also very cooperative. Had a great time. ......
The best place to be with friends.. lovely ambience.. best food quality.. respected staff with fast service and helpful..hygienic place.. cultures not harmed..
The ambience of the restaurant is good, with the staff being polite and courteous. The food is good with chunky quantities and the taste is delicious.
Excellent food, gd service by the staff specially Ranjeet , Chaitanya. Aniket , the manager is outstanding towards attending the customer. Overall it's nice
The food is too..gud....the staff is very good n they treat u very nicely....the ambience is very gud....the quality of food is very gud...each n every item is very good.....
Awesome food! Clean , hygienic and good service. Good Buffet lunch with lot of variety. Goan food as well as Chinese. Easily accessible and good location.
The food was good, overall ambience and service was excellent and food was given fast. The manager aniket and ranjeet were very friendly and there was a good choice of dishes.
If you wanna have good goan food then this is the place!! The manger aniket and ranjeet are very friendly and helpfull!! Good ambience and service!!
Very good ambience with great food. Had a good time Pricing for the buffet is very reasonable service is pretty good too. All in all a great way to spend time with your friends and family.
My rating is based solely on their daily buffet. I've never tried their a-la-carte menu
Having visited a month ago, this review was long due. But I'm glad I waited. After dining out at various other restaurants ( and getting used to non-Eurasia prices) I've realised that you can't get those many dishes along with rava fry fish(usually kingfish) for that price at many places. If you do, the ambience definitely won't be of Daawat's level. Due to this I've raised my rating by half a star. Another plus point is the speed. If you're late to reach the city, you just walk in and start eating which is an appealing prospect if you've been starving till 2.30.
Go for the buffet only if you are a foodie or else you might not feel like you're getting much value for your 300rs.
Cooperative staff, reasonable and the menu keeps varying so you never get bored. The buffet is TO-GO and food is overall delicious.. jdjdjdhdbdh
Very good food and ambience. Good staff support and excellent service. Aniket, Chaitanya, Ranjit and entire team are very good at hospitality.
Pretty decent restaurant. It is situated in a calm place with ample parking space. Excellent food quality & quantity, reasonable rates, friendly staff!
We ordered chinese as well as goan dishes which were up to the mark. Have heard about buffet system, would surely like to visit again and try it the next time! :)
One of the finest Restaurant in Goa to have food. Taste wise, quantity wise and services excellent. Special reception given to d Guest by Mr.Aniket Dhargalkar.
Daawat is the best cuisine in the city..with delicious goan food, specially fish curry and chicken cafreal..The staff is so kind with the service...and the chef in particular visits each table to see if everything is fine...i would surely visit daawat again with my entire family..
A great place for a quick bite since they have a buffey system ready during lunch times and even besides the buffey the other items are to be tried for. chicken kebabs a must to try along with amazing cocktails.
Good food and value for money. Service is really good. Will definitely visit again soon. Buffet has amazing variety in veg and nonveg items.
This truly is one of the few restaurants in Panaji which will offer you Good Ambience! Prompt Service! And Great food! Nice for a family outing. We usually order a mix of veg and non-vegetarian food!
We ordered: Tandoori chicken, Veg Jaipuri, naan n roti to go with it and egg biryani!
Veg Jaipuri is a must try veg item! Really amazing! And Tandoori chicken is also different here and not the usual color mongering Tandoori u get elsewhere.
Egg Biryani was decent enough and the raita also is appreciable.
All in all a great place(Also, there's a TV so in case u want good food as well as u don't want to miss out on an important cricket match like me who didn't want to miss the IndvsPak match :) ! Decent prices! The staff is very kind!
Difficult to locate, near to Kala Academy, parking isn't issue there. Food was par excellence. Loved the ambience there. Ordered pepper chicken, kingfish rawa fry, fish curry & rice, mixed fried rice & chicken kheema which was awesome. Even the soup was great. The waiters need to be more courteous hence rated 4 out 5.
We ordered chicken Hyderabadi biryani , squids butter garlic and butter chicken. It was yummm..
Service is also very good.
They have home delivery option too which is a plus point.
Ambience: 5/5
Food: 5/5
Service : 5/5
If you are looking for Indian Cuisine then this place won't disappoint you. Don't go for their buffet, the A La Carte menu would be a better option.
Ambience 7
Service 7.5

Good ambience, friendly staff and good food. Situated away from the city rush, you get ample parking options in and around this place which usually isn't the case in Panjim city. The food was worth the price. Their chicken preparations are really good. Will be back sometime to try out their buffet as well
So my colleagues have always been raving about this place, so I eventually tagged along for lunch once. They have this buffet going on, so it's pretty much better than having a fish thali for lunch. And it's really value for money. I ain't kidding! You wouldn't get a rava fried pomfret with an unlimited non-veg (and veg) buffet for that price. Everything is nice and hot. I loved the potato wedges - like, I had a second serving of it! The chicken was stellar too!
We ordered home delivery and had an amazing experience!! Chicken preparations are too good! Do try their chicken kadai and tandoori naan! The presentation is good and hygienic! Will be the regular one to order
Interiors are good, lots of parking space ..
Dishes are not upto the mark of projected prices in the menu .
Although non veg dishes are pretty decent in taste.
But veg dishes needs to improve..
Overall a ok place for buffet lunch/dinner

Try out the thali at lunch. Amazing deal and great quantity. Make sure you book table in advance, this place is usually crowded..serves great food
good value for money food, they serve you goan fish-curry rice in a buffet format, that means unlimited food at very reasonable price, though u get only one fish fry per plate it is still worth it

Great ambience specially for family occasions. Amazing quantity of food and great taste. Doesn't disappoint at all. Service time can be improved a bit. But otherwise great place to eat.
I love the ambience here. The deco, menu, servings everything seems royal. Its Dawat indeed ! Food was good and served well. Worth the price.
P.S this restaurant being in the campal area , you het good parking options and also, is away from the city rush.
Tried only the buffet here. Worth the price. Great taste. Fish is well cooked. Chicken is well cooked. Daily different dishes so you don't get the same things. But food is filling.
A decent place to have food. Despite being in the middle of panjim city , you wont have any parking issues.The food served is tasty and service is quick.
Good Ambience, Good Service, and Good Food. You should definitely try the Watermelon Mojito(Cocktail) and Mint Fizz(Mocktail). We wanted to try Fisherman's Wharf but unfortunately there were no tables as Goa had too many tourists last weekend. So, we decided to try Daawat and it turned out to be really tasty. A cool place with good food.
It is on the same street as Fisherman's Wharf and next to Hotel Campal.
Situated just opposite Kala Academy, this place is easy to miss. But if you like a good unlimited meal at a very reasonable price, make sure you find this place.
The staff is friendly. The spread for the unlimited lunch is good and most of it was delish. Everything is unlimited except the fried fish which is acceptable considering the modest price for an unlimited meal.
Good place to go if you want to eat a hearty meal without burning a hole in your pocket.
One of the best restaurants I hv visited in panjim. I visited daawat thrice. Food quality is very nice, apart from this service is quick....
I had recently been to Daawat, must say amazing food quality, we had vegetarian there, it was worth visiting. When you in Goa, give it a try with family or friends👍
One of the best restaurants in the capital city of Panjim. Had no difficulty in locating the restaurant as it lies in the heart of the city itself. Have been there thrice already for lunch as well as dinner. The lunch buffet is explicable with a wide variety of options. The service is also upto the mark with very friendly staff. Food is excellent and well priced. Try their SIngapour chicken, its really good. Would definitely recommend this eatout to all those who wanna have a value for money meal!
Daawat is one of the best restaurants in panaji. The taste was excellent. The ambience was very good. The food was the best. We stayed in hotel campal so it was not a hard job to find Daawat. A must visit restaurant in panaji.
I can hardly think of any places in goa which offers unlimited food at cheap rates... well for me daawat tops that list. so this place offers u a buffet(only for lunch) and it's unlimited (except for fried fish) and it's totally worth it!!...big thumbs up for this place😍👌👍
My goa visit bought me to daawat.... Nice ambience...loved the food ..especially the kebabs..well cooked juicy....even their murg patiala and cafereal Chicken was really tasty...worth trying place ...😃
Pretty decent restaurant. Good food. The spread was okay. Wish the fish was unlimited as well. But alas. The staff are helpful. Overall a satisfactory dining experience.
Lunch Buffet = Daawat, the sea food is good. Choice of menu is also great. Value for money for sure !!!
There also decent Veg options on the menu, so perfect for Veg & Non veg's group...
A friend strongly recommended this hotel and we went there on a sunny afternoon. We had the buffet. The menu was on the lower side considering the cost.. It's good.! The taste is good too. Well maintained place.
Food quality was great. And the quantity was also good. Their mocktails were also refreshing.
Service was up to mark. The waiters are friendly and ready to serve you.
Ambiance is good. Not great but simply good.
Food is priced reasonable.
Overall it was a very good experience.
Loved the food, specially chicken kebabs. Located in the heart of the city but still away from traffic, good ambience, interior, polite staff. Have large varieties of drinks to offer and snacks to much on. Peaceful place to spend time with family and friends. They also offer free home delivery.
Have tried the buffet (all you can eat @ Rs295+) at this place and it was good enough. There were variety of dishes including veg and non veg. In non veg they had Murg tikka, Crab sukha, Prawns curry and Prawns fry taste of all dishes was good bt Prawns fry were the highlight .
They keep changing their dishes evryday, so worth trying multiple times.
Not a very fancy place but great in taste and quantity. Earlier thru used to offer a buffet system but now we have to order.
What I like most about Dawaat is that even in the midst of a big crowded day, the waiters and stewards pay close attention to all the customers and serve them on time. They are also very patient and kind.
Do visit this amazing place. The food and service won't make you regret having a meal there.
Good ambience, good food, not bad service. The buffet is very cheap, tasty and its all you can eat. Gets a lil crowded during lunch(obvious reasons), very unfortunate that buffet is served for lunch and only on weekdays. Overall i liked it.
Have been visiting this place for years now... and it has always been a pleasure... new dishes, off the menu, is always a pleasant surprise.
Decently priced, excellent and hygienic place coupled with super courteous staff will keep ypu coming back for more...
The seafood is smacking and so are the rest on the menu...
Go ahead and try it... rest assured, thou shall not regret..
A decent place for a good meal or celebration. Good, efficient and courteous service. Great food. Tasty and yummy. Good location and parking available easily.
Very good restaurant with clean and active environment. I have ordered vegetarian food and my friends had ordered non vegetarian food which was awesome.
I have ordered stuffed cheese mushroom which was very delicious.
My friends had ordered chicken dragon and they said that it is the best you can get here.
Than we ordered naan and paneer tikka masala which was also very tasty.
Finally we ordered Schezwan Fried Rice which was very good.
Good food, great staff
And good price for the menu.
Recommended for family, friends.
Great food.. must try... Fish lunch
Good family resturant with above average service, very good food an comfortable place.
One of the best Goa thali.
Typical goan taste with enough food qty.
Located in panjim market.
The food is usually very good and tasty. The soups are amazing. Highly suggested the pepper chicken soup. But service can be slow especially when it is during the lunch buffet time. Consider reserving a table in advance especially for lunch.
This place was pretty deserted when we entered on a Saturday evening around 7pm, the way I like it but became very lively by the time we finished. Staff were extremely friendly and always there to serve us but the food preparation took a awful lot of time ~45 mins. But then we had ordered their special sea food platter along with some Roti, Steamed Rice and Gravy. Most of the food items severed were tasty and the portions were fine but I still feel that the restaurant is over priced for what they offer. A satisfying meal for two can easily cost over 2k here, in our case a tad bit higher along with desserts
Great ambience, comfortable seating, nice staff and good food. Buffet can be improved but it's not bad. Prices are good. Will definitely recommend this place for family gatherings.
The buffet here is awesome(seriously, even price wise). The taste of food is really good. The service is really good. It's a bit expensive though if you order food separately.

One of the best restaurants in Panjim. Has a great buffet menu but sadly it is available only for lunch on weekdays.
Very courteous staff and good ambience.
Prices are a bit toward the expensive side.
We had a family lunch outing today at Daawat. Total Value for money. A wide spread that is unmatched for its quality anywhere else I've been so far. Convenient in Panaji city and good parking available. The best was the visvon perfect fried to a Goenkars taste.
Good Luck Daawat.
