This is the best rice I have eaten in my 75 years. The product is exceptionally fresh. It has the longest grains I have cooked. And the taste is well worth it. I will order it again.

This is excellent basmati rice. The grains are exceptionally long and cook up fluffy and separate. Great quality. I will definitely buy it again.

I recently purchased a bag of Daawat rice, and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. This bag of rice has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I'm thrilled to share my positive review. First and foremost, the quality of the rice is exceptional. The grains are uniform in size, and they cook up perfectly fluffy and tender every time. Whether I'm making a simple bowl of steamed rice or a complex rice dish, this rice never fails to deliver a wonderful texture and taste. The packaging of the rice is also worth mentioning. The bag is very sturdy but non-resealable, which helps keep the rice fresh and prevents any unwanted spills or messes during the transportation process. It's clear that Daawat takes great care in ensuring the product reaches the consumer in top-notch condition. What truly sets this rice apart is its incredible versatility. It's the ideal base for a wide variety of dishes, from stir-fries to pilafs to sushi. I've used it in countless recipes, and it always adds a delicious and satisfying element to my meals. Plus, it's a staple in my pantry because it has a long shelf life, so I never have to worry about it going bad. Not that it lasts long enough around here to even go bad, L.O.L. Another aspect I appreciate is the brand's commitment to quality and sustainability. Daawat is known for sourcing their rice responsibly, and it's evident that they take environmental concerns seriously. This makes me feel good about choosing their product. Save da turtles, y'all! In conclusion, I can wholeheartedly recommend Daawat rice to anyone in search of a top-notch rice product. Its quality, versatility, and sustainable practices make it a standout choice in the competitive world of rice. I'm incredibly satisfied with my purchase and will continue to be a loyal customer of Daawat for years to come.

Grains are beautiful and long, is it the best basmati rice I have ever tried? Not so sure, didn't seem like it differs that much from the alternative products. Just a solid basmati rice bag, cooks fine, tastes fine, grains are large enough to notice, texture is cool. Bag could have had a better way of opening. Could not tell the difference in flavor from other basmati rice brands.

Right out of the big robust aroma that’s how you know you have a good basmati. It cooks up beautifully. I don’t know what I’ll do if I can’t get this brand.

So wonderful. It's the first I've found in over a year that is actually long grain, let alone extra long. I'm very pleased at the length and flavor.

this rice is so good taste excellent.i

Bought because of Americas Test Kitchen win on taste test. Is good.

Attention, le riz qui vous est livré ne correspond pas à la photo. Il ne s'agit pas du Basmati "traditionnel" de chez DAAWAT, comme indiqué sur LA PHOTO, mais de basmati "original". La différence est importante chez DAAWAT car il ne s'agit absolument pas de la même gamme de produit et du même type de riz (traitement...). Le produit ne peut être retourné.

Allora: non arriva il “traditional”, bensì un tipo chiamato “original”. Ho visto, però, sul sito Daawat.com che questo “original” non esiste. Infatti per il mercato europeo è stato riconfenzionato diversamente con questo nome, come si può facilmente vedere sul sito daawat.eu. Anche il tipo “biryani”, acquistato in precedenza altrove, in Europa viene rinominato “extra long basamati”, ed in USA si chiama “Ultima”, mentre da noi manca proprio il tipo “Pulav”, che sto cercando per il perfetto pulao. La busta con chiusura ermetica è molto comoda ed è da 5kg, non 4.54. Questo basmati ha un chicco abbastanza lungo, un po’ più del Tilda “Original”, altrove chiamato “pure original” o “legendary”, ma molto meno del Biryani/extra long/ultima della stessa Daawat, o dell’eccellente Pride of India. Ad ogni modo è invecchiato almeno 2 anni e, già lavandolo, rilascia il suo tipico aroma col chicco che rimane bianco. Una volta ammollato 20-30 minuti, durante la tostatura dà il meglio di sé. Il profumo è davvero buono ed il chicco non diventa quasi trasparente, ma rimane bianco latte. Ieri sera ho fatto un pilaf tostandolo nel ghee, burro chiarificato, a cui ho aggiunto cumino, macis e cannella, poi l’ho fatto bollire e portato a riassorbimento dell’acqua, ed infine lasciato riposare 10-15 minuti. Il riso é risultato soffice, con grani ben divisi e cotti perfettamente, non troppo al dente. Mi piacerebbe trovare anche la versione extra long/biryani/ultima e la versione integrale di Daawat, perché adoro il profumo del basmati integrale. Sperando di trovare su Amazon anche il Pride of India, lo Shrilalmahal e il celeberrimo Aahu Barah, un sela basmati dell’Himalaya pakistano, intanto mi accontento di questo prodotto eccellente.

In fact I think this is the best rice I have ever had.

Ottimo riso . Qualità prezzo davvero buona . Sapore buono .
