   Where do I begin. Should I start with the succulent chilli chicken which soothes your soul, or the creamy butter chicken which is the ultimate comfort food. The food is an absolute 10/10. The staff were extremely friendly and were super accommodating. The restaurant's interior design set a cosy atmosphere for all of us and overall was very clean and well put-together. Overall Dawat in Hayes, may be the best restaurant in the entirety of England.

   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a wonderful dining experience here. The chilli chicken was outstanding—perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and just the right balance of spice and heat. Easily one of the best I’ve had. The mango lassi was equally impressive: thick, creamy, and refreshingly sweet, making it the perfect complement to the meal. Great food, great taste, and definitely a place I’ll be happy to visit again. Highly recommended!

   Butter naan arrives like a warm promise, its pillowy oval breathing out the faint perfume of toasted wheat and cultured butter, the surface freckled with blistered brown spots that tell the story of a roaring tandoor and a baker’s practiced hands, and as you tear into it the bread yields with a soft sigh, revealing a tender crumb that stretches just enough to feel indulgent before it separates, each strand glistening as melted butter seeps into the pores like sunlight into sand; the first bite is a harmony of textures—the gentle chew of the dough giving way to a delicate crisp at the edges—while the flavor unfolds in waves, starting with the comforting sweetness of milk and flour, followed by the nutty depth of browned butter, and finishing with a whisper of smokiness that lingers on the palate like a memory you don’t want to let go of, and when the naan is brushed again, lavishly, the butter pools in tiny valleys, catching the light and carrying a faint saltiness that sharpens the richness and makes every mouthful feel both soothing and exciting; it’s the kind of bread that doesn’t just accompany a meal but elevates it, eager to scoop up velvety sauces, to cradle spicy gravies and mellow their heat, to be folded, torn, dragged, and savored, leaving your fingers glossy and your senses fully engaged, and even on its own it feels complete, a simple yet luxurious pleasure that tastes of warmth, generosity, and deep comfort, so satisfying and so beautifully balanced that each bite feels like a small celebration of how something so humble can be made so extraordinarily delicious.

   The man serving us was welcoming and very easy to chat to, he gave us some good suggestions and knew about the food he was serving. Food was lovely, full of flavour and well portioned for the price! We will definitely be coming back before any shows at the Beck Theatre.

   As a group of 4, we went to Dawat. The kebabs were not fully cooked, there was barely any seasoning and when we asked for seasoning, they said no it’s ok, you’ll like it anyway. The guy at the front desk was friendly, but the restaurant’s food wasn’t good, the food quality should be improved here.
