Kelowna BC: We were simply looking for something better than generic fast food and a place with a vegetarian item or two on the menu for Megan.  Following a reader poll in Okanagan Life we settled on Dawett, an Indian restaurant on Ellis Street.

The air conditioning was cranked too high for the evening.  I worked my way through four glasses of ice water waiting for the food.  And the portions, once they did arrive seemed disappointingly small.  But none of that mattered after the first bite of Lamb Vindaloo or Tandoori Chicken with a Butter Sauce.  The mushroom rice along with the nan and roti were noteworthy, but for me it was the sauce on the lamb and the butter sauce were in a class by themselves.

Either we stumbled onto the best restaurant in Kelowna in one shot or this is a town with a number of restaurants cooking at a level not normally seen outside a major metropolitan area.
