Choosing Dawaat, owned by Mahesh Uncle, as our wedding caterer was one of the best decisions we made! Mahesh Uncle was a tremendous help throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect—from organizing tastings for each of our events to accommodating special requests and managing the long list of allergies some of our guests had. He was incredibly supportive through all the stressful moments, and he even worked within our budget without compromising on quality or service.
His staff was professional, polite, and attentive, making everything flow seamlessly on the big day. And the food? It was unforgettable. Even a year later, our guests are still talking about it! We’ve already used Dawaat for multiple events since, and each time the food is just as amazing as we remembered. If you’re looking for a caterer who truly cares and delivers incredible food, I can’t recommend Mahesh Uncle and Dawaat enough.

Dawat Catering, led by Mahesh, orchestrated our wedding reception and mehendi/haldi events with unparalleled excellence. To be honest, my expectations for Indian cuisine at desi events in the US are rarely exceeded. Yet, to my delight, our own wedding events showcased the epitome of Indian culinary excellence in the US, courtesy of Dawat Catering. From the outset, Mahesh exhibited exceptional patience, meticulously curating our menu preferences for each occasion. Notably, our visits to his restaurant, Indian Summer (formerly Madras Pavilion), were always marked by his insistence on treating us to sumptuous meals, free of charge, underscoring his genuine hospitality. Mahesh's personal involvement, alongside his dedicated crew, throughout both events further exemplified his commitment to perfection. For those seeking a catering service that rivals the finest establishments in India, I wholeheartedly endorse giving Mahesh and Dawat Catering a chance to elevate your special occasion to extraordinary heights. - Jay Kumar

We hired Mahesh uncle and his team for our wedding events. He did both events so well that we were looking for an occasion where we could hire him again. He was like a dad during our events as he was watching over us and our guests to make sure everyone is well fed! The food was absolutely excellent! We made so many demands as we wanted the food to have some Bengali items.. as well as North Indian and some western items for our non-desi guests. He fulfilled every demand and more. He made our night as we received so many compliments on the food and the how caring the staff was. I'm so happy that we finally have an event where we can hire him again and hopefully will keep doing so for any upcoming big events. Thank you Mahesh uncle for being a memorable part of our wedding.

Review on behalf of Margaritaville Resort Lake Conroe - we've had several families work with Mahesh and his team for their off catering needs. From vendor to vendor the process is seamless from planning to the day of. They provide the menu and equipment needs at least 3 weeks before the wedding and communicate very well before and during the events. When the events are done they leave our main kitchen in better condition than it was when they arrived. Last but not least the food is always fantastic!

Mahesh uncle and his team at Daawat did an amazing job catering our wedding weekend in Austin. From the sangeet, baraat snacks, cocktail hour and reception dinner, all of the food was absolutely delicious! Indian wedding food can become repetitive, but Daawat's menu was super creative and the flavor backed it up. Our guests were a mix of Indian and non-Indian, and everyone complimented the food. They were really accommodating to guests who had dietary restrictions and made people with allergies their own plate, which we truly appreciated.We were impressed from the tasting we had with our family, and Daawat did not let down during the events, everything tasted and looked as it did during the initial tasting! They were very professional and the pricing was an absolute bargain for the incredible amount and quality of food they provided. We look forward to working with Daawat again in the future for another event!

This place has TERRIBLE customer service. They run business under 3 different names(Indian Summer, Madras Pavilion and Daawat Catering) and Indian Summer is their recent name for an attempt to rebuild their poor google reviews of madras pavilion.We hired them for catering for the wedding and we had extremely unpleasant experience. They brought the food an hour late for the wedding and the desserts ran short. The food was served cold and no presentation whatsoever as they advertise it as “Catering with a twist”. The creative presentation they bring on your tasting day is not even close to what they actually deliver. The owner has no staff to accommodate any communications and he never picks up his phone nor answer messages after getting initial deposit. They didn’t pick up the phone even on the day of our catering. When we tried bring these facts back to the owner(Mahesh) and he started being rude to my family and instead of being apologetic about the inconvenience he asked us to be thankful for at least delivering the food because apparently they could deny service at last minute even after getting full payment in advance. I highly recommend against this restaurant/caterers for any important events, I find them highly unreliable…

We worked with the Daawat Catering team a few years ago to design and build their website. They are an awesome group to work with and handle their business on a very personal yet highly professional level. We have also used them to cater events and their food and service is superb! We highly recommend them.
