They can improve their customers service. It has halal meat,Indian food supplies. Clean. DONT WRAP SLICES OF MEAT PROPERLY... NEED PROPER WRAPPING PAPER & BAGS... Not sanitary.
A local restaurant that was bustling with takeout orders for a Sunday night. Their kabuli pulao was yummy. They had a large assortment of dishes ready to eat. We ordered a nice variety of the menu. Some traditional and some modern.
The food was good. But what amazed me was the behavior of the stuff. They were concern about the fact that they need to serve the food asap as lot of people were breaking their fast. Also they have complimentary dates (fruits) for everyone. They were very polite and fast. The prices are very reasonable and in a range of $$.
Only had garlic naans. Fresh and soft
We ordered multiple items and yet everything was good, delicious & with full serving. The place is a bit tiny but you are at the right place if you are looking for tasty food and wanted to come again and again.
Food was very bad..i get skin rash and too much allergy after i eat chicken kofta..it ws yesterday..they not giving us fresh food...i m going to call them.
Excellent food and service! Jamil sahib and his sons take really good care of their customers. My personal favorites are their samosas and chai. For the main courses, everything is great from kababs to curries. Highly recommended!
Dawat has amazing, fresh food! Some of the best Pakistani food in the area. Muneeb is always attentive and kind to his customers and listens when you order.The fry fish and chicken burger is amazing!The tandoori chicken is also yummy.
Very friendly staff and they greet you instantly and help you get the order asap. Food is very good
If I listened to the negative reviews for this restaurant I would have never tasted the best butter chicken Ive ever tried. This is officially my main destination for Garlic Naan and Butter Chicken. It tasted so good, the flavor, the spice was all perfect. I have to try more dishes next time, definitely going back. Clean, cozy and friendly environment. Big plus, plenty of parking.
Delicious vegetarian meal! We had four different items: spinach, okra, dal, and chickpeas. Each with distinctive flavors, and the friendliest service. Great!
Right now the best one when comparing jackson Heightss Dasi ( Indian Pakistani Bangladeshi ) restaurants .Fresh food .Mild salt & spice .( Good for high blood pressure consumers ) .Naan ( oven baked pita bread ) are much much better than what jackson Heightss restaurants are serving .Chapli kababs were super soft and tasty ( may be cause were prepared right on time) .Beef Hakeem was also very good .as a good cook I like their food .next time if visit my friend Atiq ur Rehman who invited me last two times at Dawat E Khas ( Special food invitation is the english translation) ..I will try few different items ..recommended ..also the gentlemen working at the counter is a very nice employee God /Allah /Dios /Bahgwan bless him all the Best of His best .Ameen
It is pretty hard to find a great restaurant that serves Pakistani food. Most of the restaurants dont follow authentic recipes. I was pretty skeptical about Dawat E Khaas at the beginning. But I was surprised and amazed by the quality of the food in Dawat E Khaas. It tastes fantastically awesome! I had the feeling that the food got brought straight from Pakistan. The portions are very generous and the prices are very decent. I loved it!
Good Pakistani food on N Central Avenue is a blessing. Restaurant has booth seating placed alongside the wall which makes it ideal for small groups. Prepared dishes are displayed behind the glass partition for easy selection by the customers. By looking at the prepared food a savvy customer can easily distinguish between stale and freshly cooked cuisine. Its always advisable to ask the counter help about the freshest dish made and put in the display case at the time of your visit there.
The naan are good we got seekh kabab they were raw not well cooked we had re fry them did not like them would never buy seekh kabab again
Such a wonderful owner. Before saying something about food i will prefer to say about wonderful service.Good food.Heat and eat food.Naan quality is good.Must try kheer ( rice pudding )
Once i went and had there butter chicken, sorry to say it was tasteless. I went back and gave it another try and have been going back since. Simply quick food at its best.
Ordered chicken makhni with 3 naan. Naan was good-it’s hard to mess up a naan BUT chicken makhni was watered like I’ve never seen before in my life. I’m a big fan of chicken makhni overall, and this had to be by far the worst in consistency, that was missing the thickness and texture that a proper chicken makhni is really known for. Thank god I didn’t order a Haleem or a halwa puri like I wanted 😔
It breaks my heart to give this place one star. We used to come here all the time. I recommended this place to all my friends and family. I never forget the time when the owner served us Kashmiri Pink Chai, I have never tasted anything like it since. Unfortunately the day to day manager destroyed that restaurant. He purposely treats customers like garbage and makes you hate coming to the restaurant. We tried speaking to the owner, and so have others . Until that manager is gone, I refuse to eat there. I dont care how good the food is.
If you like quality and freshly cooked food, then this is not the place for you. The food is sitting in a buffet at 7pm. I placed an order and they sold me the stale food from the buffet. If you are dining they heat up the buffet food and serve it. Go to HILLSIDE the food there is freshly cooked. SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND READ THE REVIEWS. THE TOP ONES ARE THE COVERUPS
First thing.. Pay attention to the small sink behind the counter how filty it is... Stainless steel but its white... Nasty nasty nasty...I told him to clean it....They supposed to sanitize..... I see roach in the sweet case... Flies in the sweet case..I had to point it out to them.. .
Theyre food is alright! They have many varities of indian / desi food. The Kababs are awesome! Great customer service! I say 8/10.
I wish I give this restaurant 0 stars . Owner is so cheap if you ask for green chatni ( sauce) he won’t give you other Resturant give you couple of them . Beside that I once got Khabob roll usually it cost 3 dollars . He raise his price week later he open Resturant. He think he is the I my guy who got restaurant in Valley stream. Guy is unprofessional and disrespectful. Once I order samosas over the phone Dane to pick up he told me he sold to someone. Try to avoid this guy all cost .
Most of the food items are old and tasteless. Recommended for working class and my cabbie brothers who dont care about taste and quality. Always ask the staff to let you taste the item before you order. My favorite is chicken kabob role.
I was driving back to Connecticut from New York and have eight at almost every desi spot in queens The food was OK not the best however the service was amazing and sometimes thats all that matters they packed my food for the 2 hour drive perfectly gave me onions lemon salad raita stuff that usually other restaurants are cheap about and even advised me what was cooked fresh that same day. I will be back thanks guy for the great service and packing my food perfectly oh and naans with sesame were perfect kulcha style not to fat like other places 👍
Good Pakistani food. I love the cachori because this is the only place I found that sells it.not a lot of variety of items but it is getting better. They have a function hall thats is great for small gathering of about 50 to 60 people.
Very poor quality food with bad smell . They gave us expired food .
Its a good place for true Pakistani, Indian food. So far its the only Pakistani restaurant within 20miles radius of Valley Stream,NY where you can take your family. Food taste is excellent. Halwa Puri breakfast what I like the most.
The ownership recently changed, and with it the food quality has gone down the drain. The new workers/owners look tired, and without desire. Literally, not a single thing is good here.Worst nihari Ive ever had. Its microwaved, and the meat was just lumps of fat, from an old bhens (buffalo) rather than a cow (tender meat). They probably used their own masala, i could taste the powder or ataa in the salan and overall it tasted like gosth ka salan rather than a nihari. Didnt have the consistency, taste, color or the smell of nihari. It was that bad.Even worst, their naans and roti were terrible as well. Gulab Jamuns looked stale and a week old.
The food was quite good. I had the Chana Dal brown rice, whole wheat roti. He put both white and green sauce . Oh yes and also I had a salad . The green sauce was very mild had a tiny hint of mint in it very refreshing. White sauce was creamy almost like salad dressing but not really . It was tasty and had a seasoning in it Ive never tasted before that was quite good . Really wanted a mango lassi ... They do not have mango lassi except in the summer. The fella was nice. I would likely go back.
Good service and nice food , will come here again
Very clean and organized. Good quality and authentic food. They have great customer service. Portions are decent and price is fair. Excellent restaurant
Food is good but ridiculously over priced. And the customer service is horrible. Especially for the price they charge. I do not recommend this place.
I live up the block from this place. Ive never had Pakistani/indian food prior. My Pakistani friend used to bring me kebob rolls from BK and i missed them when he moved. I gave this place a try . Maaannnn... the rolls were identical if not better. Fresh naan, fresh kebobs and the mint sauce added that extra touch . I read someone thought the samosas were frozen prior, well youre wrong. They dont always have them which means theyre made on certain days , FYI also really good. Only giving a 4 not 5 because sometimes you do have to wait longer than expected for your food but then again yoi have the option to call ahead. I recommend this place if you love kebob rolls.
Really really great service! Food is always good and service is quick and attentive. Asia was especially friendly and made sure my experience was good. I will be returning back !
When I went to this restaurant, I thought I was going to a regular, sit-down restaurant, but this is more like a take-out restaurant with about 10 booths. They have large pans of food already prepared, as well as food that may be ordered off a paper menu. I ordered a vegetable samosa, which was good. It tasted like it was frozen and heated up in the microwave. It was served with a small green salad and pale green sauce. I also ordered from the prepared food: chicken tikka masala and chicken meat balls. It comes with rice but I requested no rice, so the waiter brought me another small green salad. It was good. I felt that the chicken meatballs, which were served in a brown sauce was very tasty. I did not like the chicken tikka. The chicken was mixed, both white and dark meat. The sauce was very tomatoey, more like marina sauce than masala sauce. The chicken was not grilled; it was stewed. I ordered onion kulcha and garlic nan. The bread was delicious. I would go back for the bread and salad. I was too full to eat dessert but I would go back to try the desserts. The restaurant is more Pakistani, rather than Indian. The wait staff and the men working behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is very clean. I saw they have some typical Pakistani dishes, like kabobs with rice and on pita bread. I would go back and try those specials. Prices were very inexpensive.
Good selection of food you can eat auf take-out nice and clean.
I did not like the food at all they gave me rotten rotis dont waste ur money even complained but they took no action.
Reasonable food. If you have nothing cooked at home, you can either stop by or pick up. I generally go here for Naan and Kebab. They display the food available and microwave what you order.Burgers are horrible and I didnt like the Methai (Desert) either.
I used to like this place at first but now not worth spending money in this place food taste terrible nan comes out burned and the curry and butter chicken are the worst I ever had. When I spoke to the manager he appeared very rude and didn’t seems to care much. I rather order from another restaurant
Naan and samosas are good 👍
The food was good , .we had a puri and chole breakfast. However the service was excellent The counter person was very humble and helpful.I will Recommended to family and friends to try outAmber M.
Worst food ever I ate in my life. Their food quality is not good, curry was not cooked as well bad customer service. Their kabab and curry aren’t good as it used to be, sadly I wount be going there anymore.
The man behind counter was VERY RUDE!! He was acting like I was making his life miserable. Well well well there is another Pakistani restaurant 2 minutes away now I will be going there with my family.
We bought qeema naan from them and almost all of them were burnt!! There was hardly any minced chicken inside the naan. They over charged and did not even provide necessary condiments with the food. Worst experience ever, my Sunday breakfast was ruined!
Very good desi restaurant.I tried chicken Tikka masala,chickpea curry, vegetable pulao and everything was perfect.meat properly cooked.perfectly balanced spices.One of the best Nan bread.Guys who run the business are very friendly.
Best customer service very good quality food no complainsparty of 5 happy and satisfiedbest briyanichapal kababchicken curryand naan so good freshvery good prices good servicebeat pakistani food around
Delicious & fresh Halal food. Friendly service.Must try.
This place has a great food and the prices are good too. Its set up nicely, and has a great party hall for a bigger party and events. Overall, great place to eat at with a great atmosphere. Recommend 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Other than their burnt rotti and naans, it has delicious variety of foods. The desserts are not quite fresh usually
Food was okay but they made me wait an hour for my food and at the end they even got my order wrong. And they justified it by saying some of the food on the menu have two names so I ended up paying for food I didnt even order. Never again.
Very nice like home made food every thing is fresh and cleanYou must have to taste the food
First of all the food is good,but it takes forever them to serve. Even though if you oder through the phone they say will be ready in 15 min but it tooks an hour to get ready.workers have so much attitude. I would rather go somewhere else than go here.
Good place nice sitting area nice serving but food is not worth what they label price at. does not taste as good as their compatative on coney island
Dont go here! Not even worth it. Food is cold old and managent is so rude. Its over priced too! am sucha easy going customer and they ruined my appetite! GO TO BBQ NITE ! So much fresher food and service.
Such good flavor and good service! 4 stars because the inside could use some renovations but its the food that matters!
Food was good but offer very less quantity different rates for different people I have noticed Pakistanis people were offer big quantities and other small
I would not recommend coming to this place the tall man working at the register was looking at my little 11 year daughter innapropiatly when i was right there and he was being weird... very uncomfortable experience.... the food also tasted like it was microwaved
Love the seekah kebabs and samosas. Havent tried anything else. Fairly priced. Good customer service.
BEST PAKISTANI AND INDIAN FOOD EVer plus the service is great and the prices are even better!!!! So much better than kabob king down the road
Food and service was excellent...the food was very fresh and really enjoyed all of the herbs and spices...the desserts are delicious...we tried one of each
I found sweets in good taste and seekh kabab are also good....nothing special in other food its like a normal restaurant seating hall is clean and family can visit this place....
Food was inexpensive but the guy behind the counter serving me was extremely rude and blunt. Food wasnt the best. Not worth it. Found hair in my food. Never again.
Not vegetarian. The place is small, and I had to request they use the convection oven instead of the microwave, but the food was very good and the customer service was excellent.
The food was outstanding
This place is best in the local region...If you dont want to drive far for your curry cravings Dawat will give you that quality food.
Good place to have Pakistani desi food. They have great bbq items. seating is nice also.
Kabab roll was good but mango lassi was not fresh.
Zinger burger is Deliscious and lamb,okra love middle east food.they just need to start making sweet lassi drink.
Great food and customer service from Muneeb - love the fish burger and the chicken tandoori
The food was really good & fresh. The services is excellent. I strongly recommend to go there.
REQUESTED THEM FOR MILD, BUT FULL OF GARAM MASALA ETC. YOU WILL FEEL AFTER 1 HOUR OF EATING THE STUFF.. 🤡🤡
New ownership. The food is terrible. This is not a personal attack. Just a fact. It went from the best food on the planet to the worst.Absolutely disgusting food and smell.
Good food but they do not post menu service is passable but definitely room to improve.
Food was reasonably priced and very tasty but the tables with dirty dishes was not a pleasant sight.
Fresh food, good taste, great customer service and great prices.Thanks to Dawat E Khaas
Held a lot of people for my brothers mendhi. Really fresh brunch style food- halwa puri chanay pani puri, so good!
Overpriced. Food is ok at best. Sweets are stale and with freezer burn taste. Overall, disappointed.
We love getting anda paratha, the only bad thing about it is this restaurant opens after 11am
The food is great ! ... Service always police and friendly.
Its very good, their food is very spicy and tasty and also their service is fantastic and very fast.
Its under new ownership since May of 2017. The food is ehh. I had to edit my review.
The naan was great but the kebabs lacked flavor
One of the cleanest desi restaurant I ever seen in NY. Food is delicious with very good service.

2022-07-17A review from my heart. I went today (07/17/22) with my wife. The owner was by himself working and his only priority was to make sure the customers were serviced in a timely manner. His food, customer service was on point. I enjoyed my time there. May Allah bless his business.

2022-04-06I ate the gyro the other day and it was very delicious. Now let me tell you, it is not cheap at $6, but it was so tasty I had to get some today. I got 3 of them and the first bite was disgusting. It was hard and burnt chicken and I KNOW YOU PEOPLE RUSHED MY ORDER😡🤬. I am sad that you can do this to customers. My stomach hurts and I might get sick now: I feel so sad about the wasted money☹️☹️

2018-12-29Visiting NY and I came to this place to pick up an order of Samosas. The place seems to be alright. I didnt try the food but the aroma made it appealing. They have options to dine-in although I did see a number of people taking to-gos. Must be a regular thing there. The cuisine is primarily meat and Pakistani based. Parking can be an issue if its peak time.

2022-02-28I’m a regular customer. My favorite is kadhi pakora, which sometimes they have. I also like chapli kabobs, shami kabobs, and had vegetarian channa dal. Everything was fresh and delicious. The naan was perfect! Not to fat and burnt, like from other places, which we do not go to anymore. They are nice and considerate. The restaurant is clean, we come when I have a day off from cooking! LOL

2022-04-15Delicious and affordable. Authentic food served at reasonable prices. Even with all the inflation and craziness going on, the quality of their food is good and the the prices dont hurt the pocket.
Review №7
2021-07-20The food is not fresh, rice are sticking to each other, I wouldnt recommend it. I PAID $50 total, the only thing that was fresh, was the Naan.

Review №9
2022-02-19Honestly, the food here is disgusting. It is old and it smells. Bought the food and my whole family got sick. If I could give this place a 0 star rating I would. Please save yourself from this horrible overpriced place.

2017-04-02Very good roti and kabab. Fresh and halal food in valley stream. Pakistani owner and staffs very friendly and cooperative. But price is not cheap.
