Diwana in Croydon

Second year running New Year’s Eve No loud band ( a few loud children 🤣) Food amazing Staff amazing Hope you are here next year ❤️

The place was full and you couldn’t hear yourself let alone the people I was with couldn’t wait to get out of there if I’m honest

I didn’t enjoy the food we both had starters which were not enjoyable our main courses were mostly source not much chicken very poor

collected a takeaway Chicken Tikka main Sheik Kebab starter Prawn Purée Plain Nan Poppodoms Chicken tikka was dry and for a main portion your only getting 8 pieces of dried out breast meat. Not worth the money Sheik Kebab - not made on site, these are pre made available in packets at your local supermarket - have these at home Prawn Purée - if you want prawns in tomato sauce then this is for you - abysmal fist time getting food from here - aesthetically pleasing restaurant but i’m not here for that I wanted some decent food - go elsewhere

Love this place, no noisy music and nicely decorated. Staff are lovely and food is always amazing 🤩

Surprised and happy to have received our meal within 15 minutes of ordering it for delivery. Once we opened containers we realized how this was achieved!! The only thing that was freshly cooked seemed to be the bread ,the rest looked like it had been microwaved judging by the labelled containers and the hard chunks of lamb that I now need to seek dental advice. Flavours was good too much sauce very little meat . Very disappointed with the quality of food . Would not recommend takeaway but have seen many people when I drive by eating in restaurant so maybe you get freshly cooked food then .

Once again an utter joy to return to this excellent local curry establishment in Sanderstead. It was their wednesday evening 'special menu' which is utterly delicious. We hadn't booked but were fortunately given the last table in the restaurant, (it was full house)!. People came and went during the evening and it was always full with newcomers. Basically most starters and mains on the menu are available (prawns etc. are surcharged), plus popadoms and dips and the deal includes 2 items per person (ie vegetable/rice/bread), from the menu. We always have a delicious meal there and we had looked forward to going for quite a while as we sadly hadn't been able to visit. After the tasty crispy popadoms and lovely dip tray we once again had their amazing mixed meat platter starters which were a great mix and variety of meats and absolutely scrumpcious. We then went into the mains and had the glorious sizzling chicken shashlik's which were very enjoyable. This was accompanied by the usual sago-aloo, onion bhaji's, keema-nam and mushroom rice, which were all very delicious and went down a real treat. We had the usual cold pints of chilled cobra lager (shandy) on tap which was very refreshing. We once again had a wonderful evening and can't wait to come back. Would whole heartedly recommend visiting this 'jewel in the crown' and especially the amazing deal on a wednesday evening.

Visited here after hearing wonderful things from locals in Sanderstead. Sadly I feel this is the case as the majority of people who rave about this restaurant are English and don't quite know what a really authentic and good Indian curry is. Highly disappointed, naans are not freshly made but shop bought and curries are bland bases they just add last min meat or prawns to based on your choice. I'll not visit again.

Cannot fault this restaurant for sumptuous food fantastic customer service and excellent customer care. The manager is especially focused on his guests getting the best experience of the restaurant. This particular restaurant kept us going during the pandemic last year, kept our spirits up by a sense of normality as the food was still as good and it was delivered in a covid safe way. Was pleased to revisit again to find it exactly the same as before, when you order a takeaway it will be just the same as if you had dined in. Thanks to all the staff

First time customer just moved to local area and thought I would try my local Indian restaurant . What I received was cold bland food lacking flavour or spice. Very disappointed will not be returning.

It was wonderful to return to the 'Delhi Kitchen', Sanderstead for their amazing wednesday evening 'special menu'. Basically most starters and mains on the menu are available (prawns etc. are surcharged), plus popadoms and dips and the deal includes 2 items (vegetable/rice/bread), from the menu. We always have a glorious meal there and we had looked forward to going for a while and took some friends who enjoyed the experience. After the tasty crispy popadoms and lovely dip tray we once again had their mixed meat platter starters which were a great mix and variety of meats and absolutely scrumpcious. We then went into the mains and had the sizzling chicken shashliks and chicken tika masala which were all very enjoyable. This was accompanied by sago-aloo, onion bhaji's, mushroon bhaji, keema/plain-nam and mushroom / pilau rice which were all very delicious and all went down a treat. We had the usual cold pints of chilled kingfisher/cobra lager on tap which was very refreshing. We once again had a wonderful evening and can't wait to come back, would whole heartedly recommend visiting this 'jewel in the crown' and especially the amazing deal on a wednesday evening.

We took friends here on a Wednesday, waited 2 hours for starters. Halfway through my mains I noticed a dead fried fly in my food. We all stopped eating at this point, they removed my food from the bill with no apology even though we all stopped eating. I was mortified and embarrassed as me and my husband had met our friends there. I would avoid at all costs!!!

We’ve been coming here for years, lovely week after week! Food delicious and lovely service, will keep returning

We ordered takeaway for 4 and we were very pleased with quality and quantity of the food we ordered. Flavours of all the curries was really good as were the side dishes and breads. Also received on time. Would recommend.

I was treated by my work colleagues and to my surprise we all really enjoyed our dinner and there was a special deal. Great service and food.

Excellent food, dine in and takeaway both tasty. We’ve tried a few other local curry houses and The Dheli Kitchen always wins.

We went recently to the wonderful local 'Delhi Kitchen' in Sanderstead. We had their 'special' wednesday evening menu which is excellent and great value.To start we had the mixed platter including chicken tikka, sheesh, onion bhaji etc. and salad which was delicious. We had previously had the usual popadoms and mixed tray of dips which was lovely and accompanied by their house draft indian lager shandies, which were very refreshing . To follow had the chicken shashlik and chicken tikka, accompanied by onion bhaji's, mushroom rice, keema nam and sag aloo and mutter paneer which was abs. scrumpcious. The service was '6 Star' and couldn't fault the food which was excellent and very well presented. Can't wait to revisit when we are able, meanwhile can have their glorious takeaways during lockdown.

First night of the vivid lockdown I ordered a Delhi Kitchen takeaway through Just Eat at 5.30pm. After several phone calls it arrived at 8.30pm and restaurant cancelled the card payment. Food was good but far too late for us to eat. Tonight I booked online direct with the restaurant 5.05pm. Rang them at 6.30pm and they didn’t have the order and it would take around 1 and a half hours before we received it. Deja Vu. Said forget it. Something wrong with their ordering system. Sort it!

Food came 15 minutes late on a Tuesday night . Food was cold tasteless and poor quality probably worst curry I have ever had . Avoid it's not worth your money

Ordered takeaway via Just Eat for delivery at 7pm - order arrived 45 minutes TOO EARLY - was lukewarm and tasted old and stale, Chicken Tikka Dhansak didn't taste or look like Dhansak- not impressed

We have eaten in the Delhi Kitchen on a number of times, this time we visited with friends. Nothing has changed the food is still very good as is the service, food well cooked & presented by attentive friendly staff. Reasonbly sized restaurant with a good menu,yes we will return.

This is a nice venue and the staff were friendly but seemed inexperienced. The welcome and taking us to our table was awkward. They were slow at taking our drinks order. I ordered a gin and tonic and the waiter said they had run out of gin. What the hell!!??!! On a Saturday night !!! The drinks arrived and they were boring. The soda water was flat, warm and in a 70's thick tumbler glass. Up your game !!! We waited for an hour and a 30mins for our food to come. In that time they didn't ask us once if we wanted another drink. I had to interrupt the waiter taking someone else's order !!!The food was delicious but the meat was scarce. I had a lamb shashlick bhuna which was the nicest of the 4 mains we ordered. Our bill came to £116 which isn't the cheapest curry I've had. Would I go back? Not sure I would bother.

It was a welcome return to the 'Delhi Kitchen', Sanderstead for their wednesday evening 'special menu'. We always have a good meal there and look forward to going. It was virtually full when we arrived early and buzzing / full when we left. After the delicious crispy popadoms and tasty dip tray we had their mixed platter starters which were scrumpcious and chance to try a variety of dishes. We then went into the mains and both had the chicken shashlik's accompanied by sago-aloo, onion bhaji's, keema-nam and mushroom rice which was all very delicious.. We had the usual kingfisher lager on tap to quench our thirst . We once again had a wonderful evening and can't wait to come back.

I'll keep this brief. It doesn't warrant an in depth review. House wine was poor. Red, wet & sweet. Portions were frugal. Sag paneer was a disgrace. Creamy and full of sugar. Really? Sent it back. The king Prawn special dish was spoilt by the over use of cloves. The only saving grace was the madras sauce which was average to good but not enough of it. The peshwari nan was luke warm by the time it got to the table. All in all not a good experience and at £52 it wasn't cheap. It was a unanimous decision not to return. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Read the reviews and was expecting a decent quality meal. Maybe it was because it was a Sunday night and the reserve chef was on (trying to be charitable) but we found the food bland and tasteless. Left just short of £100 on the table for a meal for four where only one of us had a beer, so it was expensively bland too.We wont go back.

The restaurant has recently been redecorated and is light and airy-Staff were just the right amount of attentiveness and all our chosen dishes were very tasty-well worth a visit-

We pitched up at about 7.30 one Monday evening and were the only diners in the restaurant. There was one old guy propping up the bar but he may have been waiting for a takeaway. It made no difference to the service or quality of food we received - both of which were exemplary. Our choices of dishes were welcomed but we were not altogether convinced that our lamb wasn't actually beef! Whilst fairly tender, the strands of meat were rather too coarse for lamb & it was very difficult to determine the flavour because of the lovely spicing. Maybe something was lost in translation but whatever the reason, the dishes were delicious. The only very slight quibble being that the mushrooms in the mushroom pilau were raw & there were a couple of bits of onion which must have been intended for the bin. It's quite a while since we visited but as always, were asking ourselves why we don't go more often. Really delicious food with particular praise going to the naan!

We have never had a bad meal there and really looked forward to visiting, It was valentines day and reasonably busy, After the popadoms and dip tray we went straight into the mains and had mixed platters (starters) along with chicken shashlik's accompanied by sago aloo and mushroom rice. The starters came with onion bhaji's and samosa's and sheek kebab etc. which was very enjoyable made a scrumpcious meal. Besides the usual Indian lagers we had a bottle of French chilled rose which was lovely and crisp. We had a wonderful evening and cant wait to come back.

Excellent restaurant, we were very well looked after from the moment we entered the restaurant and the waiter was exceptionally helpful in our questions as to what each meal contained, the food was very good and service to match

I don't know about you, but I must say that 'going for an Indian' is one of the most pleasurable experiences around. I've been doing it for ages, first as a yobby 20-something tanked up with beer after a night in the pub and then, as I slowly grew up, visits with my girlfriend who became my wife and, of course, with my kids. For many Brits, the 'curry' is as British (if not more so) than fish & chips. In fact, many believe that Indian food IS the UK's most traditional meal.

Went here for a family meal mid week. The food was superb, the service excellent and very good value for money. The Naga curry was spot on - nice and spicy and really tasty. Great evening. Thanks

We visit Sanderstead from the North of England once or twice a year to see my aunt who lives there, and we usually end up here for one evening partially because it's an easy walk from our base at Selsdon Park (see review). I think I mentioned last time that although the reviews stretch back a few years both the management and name (ex Diwana) have changed, so the older reviews are perhaps not that relevant. Anyway we went on a Wednesday evening which is the evening they have their special offer... Popadoms, starter, main course, rice, and a veg dish for £12.95. Last time we went it was fairly quiet on a Wednesday evening, not anymore the words got round, you need to book. The staff were very pleasant sat us down within 5 minutes. The food was excellent everything we both had was good. The special encompasses the standard items on the menu, I can't remember if there is a supplement for any dishes, king prawn perhaps, but if there were then it wasn't an issue for us there is plenty of good choice. All in all it was a good meal well served by pleasant staff, which is pretty much what I said in my last review, but it's worth saying again

Eaten a number of times in this restaurant visited this Saturday with friends, another very good meal. Staff very friendly & were always attentive, not keen on the staff walking around the tables non stop whilst we were eating. Large menu food well cooked hot served from dishes onto hot plates. Can be very busy so it is best to reserve your table. will be back.

Me and my family always come here for a curry, its bizarrely cheaper for us to dine out for a curry then order a takeaway. However we always have had bad experiences with takeaway curry's (they are always seem to arrive cold) so easier for us to nip out for a curry. This place is perfect, has everything a curry house can ask for. Tasty curry and reasonable price too, perfect for nipping out for a quick curry.

This restaurant is staffed by friendly attentive waiters and the food is always to a very high quality. We are lucky to live close by and we eat here at least once every couple of weeks. The chicken shashlick masala literally makes me emotional, it's that good.

We returned again for their wednesday evening 'special' menu, which have to say was truly awesome. The restaurant was very full as people have cottoned on to what a wonderful place it is to visit and a very enjoyable experience.

Only the second time we have visited this restaurant since it has reopened under a new name use to be called Diwana . Very busy on a hot Saturday evening extensive menu food was well cooked & well presented. Staff were very friendly & made you most welcome. Wii be returning.

We had a take away the other day and whilst our previous experiences have declined in quality over the last few take away's, this was another level of terrible. The dishes we ordered barely resembled the same dishes a year ago. No taste, no texture in fact inedible. Sadly we will never return as take away patrons or dine in patrons. Delhi Kitchen you have served us your last meal.

We tried the Delhi Kitchen as it was a convenient location for us to walk to for the evening.

We found Dehli Kitchen about 2 months ago and now we're back nearly every week. We even have a regular table now and they know what wine I like to drink. The staff are really friendly and always make us feel welcome. The food is excellent and always looks great on the plate. We've now officially become regulars and would recommend this restaurant to others (but we still want our regular table ha ha).

Had a take away last night with my daughter and son in law only had chicken passander so nothing that requires too much cooking it was tasteless and the sauce was so runny it was like water, my daughter said is it supposed to be like this...very disappointed. won’t go again

I have been here 3 times over the last 2 years and although food when it gets to you is always tasty the service is terrible.

We went there recently and had their amazing wednesday evening special menu which is a great opportunity to try different dishes. As usual it was excellent, great value, the staff were very helpful and we went home full after some lovely cuisine.

My wife and I ordered as a take-away a lamb biryani, chicken korma, pilau rice and sag paneer. Everything was truly delicious and was served at the agreed time and in nice labelled containers. Excellent.

We visited as a party of 5 on a Saturday nights and although it was busy the service was still quick, welcoming and efficient. I like the service set up, it appeared to be a manager overseeing the staff, so when something wasn’t quite right...

The new look in thus restaurant is good. It really freshens the place. The food here is very good for a local Indian. The menu is traditional but the produce used is good quality and it's prepared well.

We recently found this restaurant and have been back 3 weeks running. Food is tasty and well presented, staff are friendly and the overall setting is welcoming. Will keep coming back.

Had a curry from here, it was delicious- it even felt healthy. Excellent quality chicken and lamb, perfect rice, and the meal felt quite light, the sauces were delicious and not at all greasy. And the meal was reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

La última noche fuimos el 26 de mayo y fue fabuloso. El nuevo aspecto es genial, con fachada abierta. El personal es amable pero no alboroto a su alrededor. Por suerte había reservado ya estaba lleno. Gran ambiente. Mi curry fue el mejor que he tenido en mucho tiempo. caliente así como los platos y el servicio. Espero volver pronto.

Visitamos anoche para cenar y nos quedamos muy impresionados. La comida era deliciosa. Muy buen servicio y un personal muy servicial y amablemente nos llamaron un taxi para regresar a nuestro hotel. Todo fue una tarde de lo más agradable y sin duda recomendaría

Visitamos este restaurante la noche para celebrar mi cumpleaños sobrinos. Pude conseguir una mesa enseguida aunque era noche de banquetes. Fue prácticamente completo y el lugar estaba a tope.

We went on Wednesday evening with friends and the place was virtually full. We had their special set menu which was excellent. We had the mixed meat platter to start with which is great because it gives you a bit of everything and was scrumpcious.We had Cobra's to start with popadoms and dips whilst we were waiting, which was nice and set the mood for the evening.For the mains we had the glorious chicken shashlick with mushroom rice, peshwari nam, sag-aloo, onioj bhaji's with mint dip, all wonderful, appetising and left us feeling very full and satisfied. I can't thing of anywhere else in croydon that is better, it is a wonderful, modern establishment and the staff cannot do enough for you. Can't wait to come back.

We booked here for a night out with friends (16 of us!) It is literally a 5 minute walk from us. We had a very good night. Food was good as was the service. The staff did well to cater for us all .Sadly we have moved away , but when we are back visiting our old neighbours I am sure we will return.

First visit, food was okay but pricey ,even priced for the dips that accompanied the popadoms. Restaurant was full during our visit and personally I felt there were two many tables packed into a small place. Hardly any room to move between snd around tables once place was full,

We came to this restaurant when it first opened as Delhi Kitchen and were very impressed with the menu and staff. Sadly we have moved out the area now, but still visit when ever we can and the food is always first class. I have never had a bad meal and will not go anywhere else.

We went there on wednesday evening and had their set meal for £12-95, which have to say was absolutely wonderful. We the obligatory popadoms and dips, then had sheek kababs for a starter and chicken shashlik, with keema nan, mushroom rice, onion bhaji (with salad) and sag aloo to follow, which was very tasty and plenty to go round!. This was washed down with 2 pints of chilled cobra on tap.The décor was modern and very pleasant, the staff very friendly and helpful and can't wait to come back. A great asset to the Sanderstead neighbourhood.

A very average restaurant nothing special about it at all and took a long time for the food to come. Pleasant staff although they don't actually hurry themselves at any time. Very unstable tables won't be hurrying back sorry.

There were three lots of diners two lots if four and a couple but the service was very slow. The food certainly not good enough to give a higher rating but not too bad either. Not for me I can think of a lot better places to go sorry.

They will stop buffet in future . May be open from 6pm after refurbishment . Up coming new more dishes. Same chef with his new team and equipments.

Lovely food.Friendly staff and just over the road ,what more could we ask for. Perfect for at the end of the working week.

I love a curry, I am really not fussy and have never before written a bad review but egghhh to this place. Sunday Buffet was an abomination. Limited selection of 2 curries (unlabelled) and burnt bajhis/wings. All food COLD and clearly left over from the previous night. When we complained, the waiter assured us he would make it hot but even after two further attempts the food was still not hot. As apology the waiter offered to bag up the remaining bajhis/wings to take home. These would have been thrown out once the place closed in 15 minutes anyway and not only were they burnt but yes they were STILL cold and we didn't want these. The waiter just shrugged by this point. We got our bill and had to send it back as it was miscalculated and we were charged even more than the original price. The waiter in apology for the service told us that next time we come in that we can call and he will make sure there is dress hot food. Ummm, isn't that what you expect all the time??? He actually asked if we will be coming back next Sunday!

Super Indian . Having lived all over the Uk this is a delight . Excellent food , anticipatory service and lovely dining - this place has it all .

Best Indian restaurant I've been to in a long time. Last time I visited this restaurant was 27 years ago and well worth the wait. The service was very good and the waiters were attentive and helped with my choice. My husband had a Karahi curry and I had passanda chicken. Both very tasty and cooked exactly how they should be. The restaurant was busy and had a nice ambiance. Pity this restaurant is 120 miles from home but well worth the visit. Thank you to all the staff for making it such an enjoyable evening.

I have been eating at Diwana over the years, but recently (last 2 years) their standard has really taken a nosedive. Their Tandoori chicken is coated with thick spices and the colour of the meat was very unappetizing. the rice and sauces are very unappetizing. I get the impression that they are cutting corners but their prices are on the up and up. Not a pleasant experience at all. gave them the benefit of the doubt but now will stop visiting. I am prepared to vouch for my review

This is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to and which I measure all others against. I have visited this restaurant over the last 20 years and have never been disappointed. The staff are uncommonly friendly/helpful, the restaurant is clean, has a nice ambiance and a pleasant view across the local park. The food is always prepared to a high standard and the portion sizes are generous. The onion bhajis at this restaurant are outstanding. Definitely worth a visit!

Has been in Sanderstead for over 30 years - and that shows how successful it is.Very friendly and welcoming!!

Good range of food and wine, consistently good, restaurant has modernised with the times, staff gave been there a long time, very friendly and helpful.

Great local Indian which, according to the waiter has been operated by the same family since it opened over 30 years ago!Food is always fresh tasting and portions are plentiful; service is always friendly and efficient, and staff seem to know many of the clientele on a first name basis. The place has a quaint sort of charm about it, and whilst the older style decor may not be to everybody's taste, its a refreshing change to the more ubiquitous and garish interiors of the so called 'modern' curry houses that have sprung up everywhere. The menu is again of the 'traditional' style, offering well known curry house type dishes; but those that I've tried (chicken dhansak here is the best I've tasted!) certainly rank above the average fayre on offer in the many other curry houses out there. The Sunday buffet is also worth a visit- very well priced for the varied spread on offer. All in all this place certainly gets the thumbs up!

Move to the area 20 years ago and this has been my local. I have tried every Indian within miles but always come back because the food is consistently good, the service is excellent and staff are extremely polite. Eat in or takeaway food is very good. I don't know why it's taken me so long to review.

have been going to this restaurant since it opened, the staff are very helpful and always pleasant, and the food is very good

First time visit and it won't be the last, lovely buffet at a great price.For the two of us with drinks it came to less than £25.00 Eat as much as you want.Nicely laid out room, decor good, and waiters were attentive.

Diwana takes pride in the food it produces and rightly so. It is very good and we always enjoy meals that they prepare

Great food and lovely staff. after paying they give you a drink on the house.Only down side was the restaurant was very cold.

Went here for my daughters birthday and they did not disappointment. Lovely staff and the food was exceptional. Will definately be back.

You always get a fantastic welcome in this restaurant - the waiters are polite and attentive without being pushy. It can get very busy on a Saturday evening but the food still comes quickly and the service is efficient.The food is always first class and the onion bhajis are better than those I've had in other Indian restaurants.

At last an Indian restaurant where a three chilli mark on a Vindaloo did mean fairly hot and spicy ! Excellent curries mild through hot , with a good range of side dishes to complement. Will revisit when next in Croydon . Recommended.

I have eaten at Diwana in the evenings over the years and always have immensely enjoyed their cuisine, but I unfortunately had the misfortune to sample the Sunday lunch buffet last Sunday and have to say was extremely disappointed. The rice was obviously reheated from the night before, the chicken wings had no meat on them and the rest of the food was not up to the standard of their evening menu. Also, nothing was labelled, so we had to continuously ask what was in the trays.The restaurant has recently been repainted, but the furniture is the same as when they opened some 20 years ago and the coat rack is next to the buffet and my coat stank of curry when I got home! The seats are also like buckets and need replacing as incredibly uncomfortable! Perhaps their profits should go into improving the restaurant to how it used to be.The staff were friendly and courteous though.

The four of us ate at this restaurant for less than 50 pounds. The food was excellent and the service superb. Highly recommended.

Very nice food, prices very reasonable for food and drink. House wine £10 good wine too£80 bill for starters and curries for four with 2 bottles of wine. Not too bad at all. If we were ever in the area again we would go back

I went there with some of my family for a celebration. Normally, I do not like Indian food but my family do. However, the food I had was delicious and it is the first time that I was able to eat the same type of food in an Indian restaurant as those with me. My family thought it was some of the best Indian food they had ever tasted.The waiters were very kind and efficient too. I would certainly like to recommend them.

abbiamo scelto di cenare qui perchè suggerito dalla lonley palnet. prezzi modici, buon servizio...tuttavia non hanno soddisfatto la nostra richiesta dei piatti (abbiamo chiesto di non portarci le salse con il cocco ma poi ce le siamo ritrovate nel piatto). buono il roll fritto, non ho condiviso le scelte della lonley... prezzi bassi.

We stopped here for lunch, the Sunday buffet (£7.95). The hosts were so lovely and the food was excellent, tasty and fresh. If we were local, we would certainly be regulars.

Recommended by a friend and he was right - the food here is always really good, even the takeaways. All the dishes have a good balance of flavour and I find the food less oily here than anywhere else. The restaurant has a nice, if slightly dated, interior but it's ambience is good. We did get a bottle of wine with sediment once but they quickly replaced the bottle for us when it was pointed out. It's a little more pricey than similar places I've been to but it wouldn't put me off.

A recent discovery, one Friday evening,on the limpsfield rd Led us (my friend and i ) after finding out that the tapas bar is no longer nearby, we opted for here parking is ok. in the evening anyway, maybe less so in the day. The decor is bit plain n dated 70s with clean advocado toilet suites. :) But thats ok im here for the food. And we werent disapointed, The food was tasty and sufficient and the place started to fill up with the regulars,( usually a good sign) Not the most extensive menu iv ever seen food is good. waiters polite and service fine. The owner seems to be on first name terms with a lot of his patrons and hes a friendly enough guy who took the opportunity to ask us if everything ok. Good old fashioned northern hospitality is always welcome.

Having eaten and so many Indian restaurants, there are some that are really awful and some that are truly great - the Diwana fits right bang in the middle. It seems wrong to say the food is average, but it is very tasty and reasonably priced - just what you would expect from your average Indian restaurant. You go to the Diwana for a decent meal and this is exactly what you get - I would recommend it and I know you will not be disappointed.

We have visited this restaurant over the past 20 years at least 6 times a year, and it never ceases to amaze me how consistent it has remained in the standard of cuisine.However it is the welcome and friendly service that makes us want to go back time after time again.The prices are extremely reasonable and portions are more than adequate.I just love the Vegetable Biryani, and Kemah nans are great.
