DAAWAT E KHAAS

We had Good Experience at Dawat e Khaas. Amritsari Kabab, Surmai Fish tikka, Chicken afghani Tangdi, Chicken tawa masala & Chicken biryani were delecious in taste. Crispy korean chicken didn't tasted well as the added sauses were not good. Chicken Lollypop were Crunchy & Tasted Well.

I had a disappointing experience here The Chicken Tandoori was far from impressive , it tasted average and the green chutney was overloaded with artificial color, making it unappetizing. The Chicken Kadhai was even more baffling, as the chicken was coated in an unusual way that completely ruined the dish for me. It didn’t resemble the authentic flavors of a proper Kadhai Chicken. Overall, the food lacked quality and authenticity. Not a place I’d recommend.

I have been to this non-veg heaven with my family more than thrice in the short time we spent in Ahmedabad and trust me, we were more than satisfied on every visit. The place is beautiful, cozy and very well taken care of. The staff is awesome! They listen carefully and are always ready to assist when asked for. The service is fairy quick depending on the number of guests at the given time. If you are in Ahmedabad and are craving for non-vegetarian food, this is the place you must go. The food is by far one of the very best I have had in India, leave alone Ahmedabad. The must taste are Murg Masala Tandoori, Paneer Achari Tikka, Chicken Seekh Kabaab, Prawns Angara Dry, Mutton Korma, Murg Afghani, Mutton Dum Biryani and almost everything else they cook! The prices might be a bit on the higher side but the food is worth every extra rupee!

FZ has done a ‘volte-face’! Keen observers might notice. Chaar yaar got together with a view to make the raat gulzaar!:) There was free time aplenty and dinner was on the cards. A healthy debate ensued. Merits n demerits of a number of eating joints were analysed. Daawat-E-Khaas was zeroed in upon, Mughlai being the cuisine which won the majority that evening. Located in an unassuming corner, right off the bustling Vijay crossroads, on the first floor, bang in the midst of the Metro construction, one might be forgiven for passing it by, without noticing. It’s a tiny, cosy place. Very functional, utilitarian. Interiors are simplistic with space for about 30 diners approximately. FZ felt pleasant as the place was crowded on a weekday evening. There were two blackboards with two different “Today’s specials” being chalked down:) That’s ok:) The menu choice is vast and tries to cover all things Mughlai. We opted for staple fare - Tandoori chicken, Dal makhani, Chicken Angara and from one of the “Today’s specials”, the Prawn Tawa masala, washed down with Thums up and savoured with Tandoori roti n roomali roti plus Masala papad. The food was excellent.. the portions humongous.. The tandoori chicken was tender n juicy, the masalas just right, tangy n spicy, the meat tender n succulent - devoured in a hurry! The mains - Dal makhani was ordinary but up to expectations.. it was as a Dal Makhani should be. I was informed that the Chicken Angara is a signature dish and the Prawn tawa was the day’s special so expectations were high and more or less lived up to. FZ found some similarity in the gravy base of the two dishes but no points deducted.. Whilst the prawns were polished off, there was a struggle to finish the Chicken Angara n Dal inspite of the fact that there were four hungry gentlemen of calibre - speaks volumes of the portion sizes served!:). All in all a thoroughly rewarding experience, light on the wallet too.. Merits a visit! Cheers!
