Dawaat Indian Cuisine - Authentic Indian Desserts in San Jose, CA

Me and my wife LOVE Imdian food, amd this new restaurant near our home is absolutely fantastic!!! The place is clean, welcoming, and very friendly. As vegetarians, we were thrilled with the excellent vegetarian options! Very delicious! We now come every week, sometimes even twice a week! A special thanks to Mani, who os always kind, attentive, and takes great care of us whether we call or dine in. Highly Recommended!

I ordered Goat Biryani togo from them. Very premium taste. Generous meat and sauce-very tasty. Very delicious meal..! The cashier was very nice and friendly. Gave me 20% coupon for dined-in meals. Will visit again..

Honestly loved this place. It somehow feels really cozy and homey but still nice enough for a date or a celebration. The food was so good, everything was packed with flavor and tasted super fresh. You can tell they actually care about what they’re serving. Service was great too, super friendly and on top of things without hovering. Just a really solid spot all around. I’ll definitely be coming back.

If you are looking for incredible Indian food that hits the spot and is in the Almaden area, Dawaat Indian Cuisine is the place to go. We have been here several times now, and it has consistently become our favorite neighborhood spot. The chaat dishes are really good! They have that perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and crunchy that you want in authentic Indian chaat. Our favorite is the Pani Puri, Gobi Manchurian and paneer pakora. The paneer here is exceptionally fresh and soft. Whether you get the Paneer Tikka Masala or the Saag Paneer, the cheese is perfectly cooked and the gravies are rich and flavorful without being overly heavy. Perhaps the best part is the reasonable pricing. You get generous portions of high-quality, authentic food without breaking the bank. Overall this restaurant has become our new favorite restaurant for dine in and takeout

I had an amazing dining experience here! The food was bursting with authentic flavor and made fresh to order. The butter chicken was incredibly tender and creamy with the perfect balance of spices—honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The grilled chicken skewers were juicy, perfectly charred, and paired really well with the mint and tamarind sauces. Beyond the delicious food, the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and fast. The portions were generous and the presentation was clean and inviting. You can really feel the pride they put into their cooking. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving quality Indian food with great flavor and a cozy atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Absolutely in love with this restaurant, which is now my favorite new local spot. Immaculately clean and with a fantastic menu. You honestly can't go wrong with any options you choose and all the food is served fresh as can be with great presentation. Co-owner Mani was our server and was incredibly kind and professional. Dawaat is clearly on top of ensuring a quality experience for every customer. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for quality Indian cuisine. Below was our table's order, which I have to mention because it was such a memorable meal: Masala Chai Paneer Pakora Papadi Chaat Butter Chicken Garlic Naan Rasmalai

Excellent service and food! I had the lamb saag and the gf had tikka paneer. Probably the best chappati I’ve ever had as well. You can order extra meat/paneer in the dish too which I think is a nice thing to offer. Def try the bhatura too, that was new to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also if you’re one of those white people like me who thinks medium is too low in spice, but spicy is a little too much, they are accommodating to silly questions like that. Really appreciated that they were nice about it too, I get intimidated asking for in between things like that.

Great service - warm and welcoming, dare I say it was Michelin star experience. It was our first time dining here based on a recommendation from a friend. Lots of North Indian vegetarian options. Great neighborhood restaurant for a peaceful meal with family and friends
