Dawat Oban

You'll find Dawat tucked away on Soroba Road, away from the seafront rush, which feels about right—this is the kind of place locals actually book. The kitchen takes its spices seriously without sliding into the trap of just cranking up the heat for heat's sake. What you're getting here is genuine Indian cooking done well: the sort of place where regulars have their orders sorted and the staff remember your preferences. It's straightforward, unpretentious dining that respects the food and doesn't apologise for it.
