Welcome to Rawaayt Sweets and Restaurant Plus Banquet, a family-rooted South Asian restaurant in Ellerslie, south Edmonton. Our journey began with a heartfelt vision: to preserve the rich culinary heritage of India and share it with Edmonton's growing community. We don't just cook food — we recreate memories from the kitchens of our ancestors using time-honored slow-cooking techniques, hand-ground spice blends, and the same patience and love passed down through generations.
Our menu spans authentic North and South Indian cuisine, Indo-Chinese favourites, halal meat specialties, and traditional desi sweets (mithai). Guest-favourite dishes include our signature Afghani Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chole Bhature, Raj Kachori, Palak Paneer, and Kadhai Paneer — all prepared fresh daily. From a hearty desi breakfast at 8 AM to a late-night dinner at midnight, Rawaayt is one of the few South Asian restaurants in south Edmonton that serves you around the clock, seven days a week.

Banquet Hall Guest
" Absolutely loved the food at Rawaayt! The Chole Bhature was perfectly spiced and the Tandoori Chicken was smoky and juicy. The banquet hall is beautifully set up — we hosted our family gathering here and the staff was incredibly professional and attentive. Will definitely be coming back! "
Chaat Lover
" One of the best Indian restaurants in south Edmonton! The chaat selection is amazing — Raj Kachori and Golgappa are must-tries. Late-night dining option is a huge bonus. Great ambiance and very friendly service. "
Halal Food Enthusiast
" The halal meat options here are fantastic. Mutton Korma and Bhuna Gosht were both incredibly flavourful — you can tell everything is made from scratch with real spices. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and the staff is welcoming. Highly recommend for family dinners. "
Engagement Event Host
" We booked the banquet hall for our engagement celebration and it was perfect. The team helped us plan a custom menu and everything was executed beautifully. The food — especially the Chicken Tikka Masala and Palak Paneer — was a huge hit with all our guests! "
Late-Night Diner
" Rawaayt is open until midnight which is amazing for late-night cravings. The Afghani Chicken and Malai Tikka are out of this world. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable. Feels like home-cooked Indian food with restaurant-level presentation. "
