Janito Restaurant

The best Indian meal ever I arrived in Knowle on business so not familiar with the area. I literally stumbled across Daawat India & Beyond and immediately felt welcome. The owner Abdul S was very pleasant and attentive, made sure i was happy with the table setting. The owner struck up a conversation with me leading to him asking me what i usually order and would i be open to trying his secret dish which i gladly accepted. Simple Poppadom and chutney tray for starter and the unknown chicken dish along with boiled rice and chapati and it was delicious. The presentation was first class I asked how i would order this back home in Manchester but he wasn't divulging :-) its a shame i live 100 miles away as this restaurant would be my go to place for Indian cuisine. I will be returning next time i am in town Its also BYO which is a bonus, Rated and recommended LK

Difficult to find fault with this place, you get great service and food that all liked in our party with a nice atmosphere for a Tuesday night. As they are not licensed you can take in whatever you like to drink with glasses and ice provided and this keeps the cost down. Toilets were clean and modern.Takeaway service is quick and efficient too.

We were looking for a good Indian restaurant and were walking by this one to go to a nearby one, but luckily we stopped by Daawat restaurant and decided to give it a try! The moment we got in, the manager and the waitress welcomed us and were very friendly and kind to us. We loved the food, it was spectacular and absolutely delicious. They also gave our kids juice for free which was a nice gesture. Overall an amazing place and experience and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Brimingham. Lastly, special thanks to the manager Shaheen who took good care of us from the moment we entered until we left.

Not as good as my last visit which was after lockdown ended we had a few takeaway during that period though. Maybe because of the change in management. My favourite giant prawn dish is more expensive, though forgiven due to inflation, but certainly not as good as before. Served in different shape dish. The prawns were 2 x U5 giant prawns then but now I get 4x much smaller prawns perhaps U8-12.! The taste still good but somehow the magic has gone and not as busy as before the pandemic.

5 stars! This has been my go to place for the most authentic and flavourful Indian cuisine since arriving here in the UK. What you see in the picture is the Rezela King Prawns in the most flavourful and deeply spiced sauce. With a side of lentils and fried garlic. Let’s face it. UK is known for its Indian, and there are many great places here, but Daawat really sets the bar, and it’s the place to go to if you’re in West Midlands. Brilliant!!!
