We had a great experience here.The food was fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste. The service was warm and attentive, making us feel very welcome.
A special mention goes to their new pineapple juice — it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and a delightful addition to the menu. Definitely worth trying.
Overall, highly recommend for their delicious dishes.

Absolutely the right thing for lunch. Lunch special, which we had with two veggie dishes and one meat dish came with rice, lovely hot naan, and a crispy cucumber salad was plenty. All really tasty. And a very, very reasonable price. It has become our go to lunch stop in Kelowna.

Dawett never disappoints. Took family there from out of town since we love the food there. The staff was excellent and friendly. The atmosphere is always nice and not too noisy. And the food. Phenomenal dishes. Such abundant flavour. Our absolute favourite. I recommend making a reservation as it's a popular spot.
