Dawat’s journey began in 2010 under the name Laziza, a small restaurant in Tooting focused on bringing authentic Pakistani cuisine to London. Demand for our dishes grew quickly, prompting a move to a bigger premises and a rebrand to Dawat in 2011. This expansion also marked the launch of Dawat Catering, enabling us to share our flavours with private events and special occasions. Over the years, we continued to refine our craft, relocate to accommodate more guests, and even establish a function venue in Pakistan. Today, Dawat is proud to be an award-winning restaurant chain, highly regarded for its traditional cooking methods, innovative dining experiences, and commitment to fresh meats, spices and ingredients.
