Dawat Tooting Review

Located in Tooting, between Tooting Bec and Tooting Broadway underground stations. Dawat is a Halal Indian restaurant. 

On the outside, Dawat appears quite small, but looks can be deceiving :) Dawat opens into a surprisingly big interior. Me and Nabs decided to take a seat here after deciding that eating a curry in the park (as we had originally planned) would be a bit difficult.

The waitress did seem a bit grumpy while showing us to our table and also throughout the service, but towards the end after getting charmed by our lovely selves she eventually cheered up a little ;)
We were asked whether we wanted our dishes coming out separately or all at once, and we said all at once so here comes the on slaughter of food!... 
First the salad and the dipping sauces.
Meat Samosa 80p
I cannot get an Indian without ordering a samosa and this one was lovely especially with the dipping sauce! :)
Seekh Kebab 70p

Lamb Mirchi £5.99

Lamb Karahi £5.49

Peshawari Naan £2.49
This was to share between us

Let's feast away! Both of the lamb curries were very delicious and also very similar to one another, but I would say that the lamb mirchi had a slightly sweeter aroma to the lamb karahi. 
After demolishing a samosa and half of my lamb mirchi I was surprisingly full! And usually I can finish a curry, naan and small starter easily! 
There was a very generous helping of lamb in the curries, around 15 pieces of meat, that is a lot of meat! Usually in the curries I've had, there is only around 5 pieces swimming in a pool of curry sauce, so the curries were definitely good value for money!

With the very decent prices, big portions and very relaxed atmosphere I would certainly visit Dawat again!
