Diya in St. Helens

I had a fantastic dinner at Diya while on a business trip, and I highly recommend it! The flavors were authentic and beautifully balanced, with each dish full of vibrant spices and fresh ingredients. The service was attentive and welcoming, making the experience even better. From the buttery naan to the rich curries, everything was spot on. A must-visit for anyone craving excellent Indian cuisine!

Absolutely fantastic and I know my stuff about Indian food highly recommended

Lower lighting would be nice, service was attentive and fast , food was lovely,

Amazing food and customer service, very attentive. Amazing from start to finish, popadoms were fresh, chicken tikka was delicious. Chicken tikka madras was perfect level of spice for me and my s/o was made up with his chicken jalfrezi and egg fried rice. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!! Can't believe I've waited so long to try this place by far the best Indian for miles and I've tried quite a few and this is by far the best. I ordered a takeaway 40£ and it was worth every penny can't wait to dine in soon. Thanks 👍

Excellent food and very attentive staff really lovely .

Had a lovely evening with the family! Great food and service. Everyone was serving with a smile. Struggled to find a decent Indian recently, but this one hit the spot.

My wife and I went again to this brilliant restaurant, the staff are great the food is good. It’s my favourite restaurant.

Our experience tonight was awful, all aspects of the food was poor. Starters were not freshly cooked and appeared warm ups. The main curry’s were tasteless and watery. Poor food and poor quality !

I’ve been here so many times and literally never had anything that disappointed. I consider my self to be adventurous and have had most dishes on the menu at one time or another. The foods amazing no 1 Indian food . Service quality value, everything! A just go to!

We ordered 40 meals with rice and naan for an 18th house party and it went down a treat! The service was amazing and the staff were really helpful and gave us a brilliant package. The whole party devoured the food and are planning to visit individually- it was delicious and we will definitely do this again. Diya is our favourite Indian restaurant, nothing compares. Thanks to the chefs and the staff for accommodating our party, it was a huge success and saved us a lot of work!

We normally get a take away & haven’t eaten in for a while. Decided to have a treat tonight & sat in. Food, as usual was amazing - everything so fresh & tasty. Service was amazing & friendly. Thank you for a lovely meal

Excellent meal out with the family, best Indian food I've had 👍

Gorgeous food well presented. Staff very attentive, food served on got plates and the Pino Grigio wine complemented our food.

Very excellent food and very friendly staff couldn't do enough for you will be visiting again highly recommended

Sensational food and a delicious mango lassi. I highly recommend.

Amazing food lovely staff and good value for money all food was hot when arrived at the table

Great food great staff me and the wife love this restaurant food never fails to impress you won't get a better curry anywhere.

Went for a birthday food absolutely beautiful atmosphere was great and value for money good food nice and friendly staff couldn’t do enough for you

The Diya is one of our favourite restaurants in st helens, but wherever we travel most Indian restaurants don't match up to the food here. The specials section is fabulous I personally love the Handi my husband likes the hot 🔥 Naga. Staff are friendly not over bearing, place is always warm even when early and quiet. Beer cobra is always excellent with no after smell in the glass that you get in some places.Prices good value for money which means you can return again soon. Keep up the good work guys will see you weekend of the25th for my annual birthday choice of restaurant x

Amazing hidden little gem, I have sampled many Indian dishes in my time and Diya is certainly my favourite in the UK now! Highly recommend, amazing service, great atmosphere, absolutely delicious food at a very competitive price point, take a date, take your family, hell just get a takeaway for yourself, you won't regret it

First time will not be the last it was amazing x

Around ten of us ate here, to celebrate some family birthdays, and I've nothing but good things to say. Diya is your quintessential BIR eatery. Service was great and, despite being tucked away from the busy main room, there was always a member of staff around if we needed anything. Food was spot on and served in good time. And the cost was very reasonable. Bit of a hidden gem tucked away on the East Lancs. Get on them

Service was good, with lots of choice and all the dishes we had were plentiful and delicious. The price of all the dishes are reasonable, so good value for money. It’s only downside is the appearance, a bit drab and uninviting - a little drafty also, as people kept leaving the door open.

We enjoyed a meal here to celebrate one of my son's birthday. Both the food and the service were excellent. We will definitely come back again.

We've been going here for 4 years, usually I'd score top marks but last weekend was dreadful. We ordered a takeaway on Saturday night. They forgot the chutney tray, the chips were cold and hard, the curries and rice also cold and a bit bland. I'm so disappointed! Very poor, not up to their usual standard.

Went for my daughter 18th birthday as a party of 18ppl the staff was great they couldn’t do enough for us the food was amazing big portions and amazing value for money would definitely recommend to anyone

Excellent in every way fantastic food & service highly recommended

First visit this evening here and wow...has to be the best Indian food me and my other half have ever had! A great variety of dishes (keema rice was a 1st for us) and the food was delicious with plenty of flavour. The waiters were friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere there. Will definitely be back soon!

Just celebrated my husbands birthday here, there were 13 of us and both the food and service were outstanding. I highly recommend and look forward to returning here. probably the best Indian meal we've ever had . thankyou Diya 👌

Good scran. Very polite , attentive staff

Fabulous Christmas eve curry with the family. Wonderful service, and lovely guys, couldn't do enough for us. Even gave baby of 18months a free ice cream. Hope to see you again when I visit Liverpool again soon. Happy New year 💜🎉

Always lovely food & staff are so friendly

Good food - good service - highly reccomended Regular visitor - never been disappointed yet

We have been going here once a week for a good few years and the reason for this is that every other Indian is not a patch on diya it’s got the most gorgeous food, so freshly cooked, curry sauces are so full of taste portion sizes are very generous , you will go here once and I assure you that you won’t find another Indian in all the area far and wide as nice , staff are lovely always very friendly and welcoming well done diya I’ve decided to write this review as I have started using trip adviser a lot myself lately so hope this helps anybody looking for a nice Indian

The food here was spot on. We went this evening for my sisters birthday and there was 8 of us. The service was next to none thank you so much we will definitely be back

Service and food amazing, nice and warm indoors.only thing I would say don't bring starters over whilst still eating poppadoms not only are you interrupting but feels like getting rushed other than that everything is perfect

Always welcome here and still great food 🙂

Wow you have to try this place, the food is amazing! Big portions and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is bright, clean and spacious. Definitely a 10/10 and I'll 💯 be back!!!

the food and service was excellent , prices are reasonable aswell , plenty of parking spaces , looking forward to having Xmas dinner there , thankyou

I've come to this restaurant pretty much every week since it opened, often for a takeaway but also to dine in. The staff are knowledgeable, extremely friendly and very efficient. The food is just exceptional, and staff are more than happy to help you choose from the menu and/or adapt any dishes to suit your taste. They also have a good selection of wines, draught cobra, king cobra bottles and non-alcoholic beer. My favourite indian restaurant in the area by miles, and most definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely excellent food again this evening. Tender tandoori chicken and a perfectly cooked samber. It's just so good! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Still can't recommend highly enough. If Carlsberg ran restaurants...

One of the best Indian meals I’ve had outside of India. Food here is incredible & the staff are really friendly. Parking is great.

Outstanding food and service. Prices are very fair, beer tastes good and the kitchen is open so you can see the Chefs do their excellent work. Staff are friendly and can't do enough for you, the portions are excellent and the chefs really know what they are doing. I can't recommend the Chilli Tikka enough, I had it with chicken and a garlic pilau.

I thought it was a one off, but after a few more visits the familiar faces have not returned. Furthermore, several dishes on the menu, whilst the description is still the same flavour and texture has changed, and in my opinion, not for the better. The majority of the curries have different names, that taste very very similar and usually the chicken is tough, so I don’t know what’s going on in there. One of the evenings we sat in the new extension and it’s awful. it’s just like sitting in there plain white box. The lights are so bright there’s no soft furnishings it’s awful.

Just been for a gorgeous meal here. We didn’t book but was greeting and seated instantly, it was late, approx 9pm. Staff were attentive, food was absolutely fresh and honestly the nicest Indian food we’ve had in years. I can’t wait to come back. We’ve heard so many good things about here, I just can’t believe it’s taken us so long to try. I’m a fan ❤️

Had our first takeaway from here, absolutely fantastic. 6 different mains and all 6 were delicious. A new favourite Indian for sure. Look forward to the next one!

Wonderful starters and mains. Fairly busy despite being a cold and windy Tuesday, which is good to see. Staff attentive and friendly. Always had good good here with reasonable prices.

Thank you Naila , my wife love the dresses for her birthday gifts, she was so happy, so amazing service stylish

First time at Diya, pass it every time I play golf. So me and my golf buddies decided to give it a a whirl and I am so glad we did, food was excellent service was great, washed down with a couple of Cobra's spot on will definitely be back.

First visit, definitely not my last. Absolutely amazing food and great service.

Had our first takeaway from this restaurant this evening. Food was delicious, will definitely be going again

The food and staff, Azad, and all are fantastic. So helpfull and always extremely happy to please. A must restaurant to visit.

Very nice place to eat and relax great value for money

Got a great takeaway from here , delicious and plenty of it

amazing just so nice to have a proper curry for once with reasonable prices and great staff and chefs. I only wish we had something like this in huyton as we had to travel by car. definitely will return and tell everyone how nice it was . thankyou

Good value for money, accessible and very quick service. The owner's son was really nice and kind.

I Took my two boys in to Diya tonight for tea. I had a King Prawn Napali while the kids had chicken Tikka Masala. Everything from the poppadoms and chutney, to the main courses was fantastic. Best Onion Bhajis in St Helens too. All topped off with fantastic service.

This is a great restaurant with great staff and the food is good. I mentioned this place to my friends and they said let’s go so we did.. we all enjoyed it.

We came here as we know it’s a good place to eat and the staff are brilliant.

Been coming here for a good few years now hadn't been for a while But on arrival What an amazing welcome we received The food was absolutely amazing Brilliant size portions Service was spot on Really well looked after by all the Team which is lead brilliantly by Tariq All food cooked fresh and it tells Went early on a Saturday and was really busy Even doing takeaways The amount of people dining just shows how great the food is Thank You All be back soon 👌👌👌👌👌

A nice place to enjoy delicious Indian food. Excellent choice of different styles of Indian cooking. Staff willing to recommend dishes according to your taste. Relaxed and laid back atmosphere.

Amazing food and very well mannered staff.

Called in to meet a friend. Not been before. I wasn't sure what to expect as the car park was quiet. Food was tasty and service was prompt. I would go again

My son,grandson and I enjoyed it,3 generations,really good meals,and very good service,can certainly recommend Diya to eat there

Been to this restaurant many times over a number of years and it never disappoints. Went as a family for a birthday on the 23rd June and everyone said the food was amazing. Can’t wait for my next visit.

Great food and wonderfull service at a great price.

Have been twice now and both times been really quiet aswell as Food quality and service being excellent and the price is standard nothing overpriced. Very nice place for a large gathering or meal for 2.

First time visiting after being recommended to us. Glad we tried it. The food was excellent as was the service. Would definitely return.

Came here last night. Very good Indian one of the best we have had. Definitely be returning to this place in the future. Prices are what you would expect for this type of quality food. £60 for 2 adults. Will be back.

Our first time here, it won't be the last. Staff are amazing. Food is excellent, we're already planning what we'll have when we return.

Food was amazing highly recommend. Our local Indian restaurant so we could walk. Service was great too.

Here for dinner with a friend, both our first time. It was a Thursday night, quite early, and already pretty busy. It's a nice, if minimalist place, and service was good throughout. We started with the (obligatory) popadams, and chutneys. From there I went for the chicken chat & puri, followed by lamb passander with pilau rice. Sides-wise, we also ordered onion bhajis, cauliflower bhaji and sag allo, along with a garlic naan. For the most part the food was really good, but with a few niggles. The garlic naan wasn't very garlicky, and the onion bhajis were more doughy than crisp. This I think cos of their size, they were like cricket balls (biggest I'd ever seen), and maybe hadn't cooked right through fully. That said, it was a good night, and the niggles aside I'd have not problem going back there. Well worth a visit.

Gorgeous food a fair price staff very attentive. Definitely recommend

It was my first time in there. My food was really good & was cooked & served rather quick. I can see myself going there again sometime

Amazing food and staff Great service Won't go anywhere else for Indian food

Went there for my birthday with my wife we both enjoyed our meals and service was amazing 5*. Can't wait to go back again for the wife's birthday

More people need to know about this place. Amazing food, tasty, fresh and piping hot. Nice and clean. And the staff are just wonderful. So friendly and welcoming. Definitely a new favourite restaurant for us.

Food was amazing! Staff was very pleasant and friendly they could not do enough for us! Very highly recommended. We will definitely be returning! 👍❤

Beautiful food! Staff very friendly excellent service. Highly recommended 👌 top quality 🥰

The food was excellent nice to have a restaurant open early on a Sunday not that expensive

First time visiting, won't be the last. Excellent service from start to finish. Vegetarian choices were delicious and very well presented. Prices were really good too.

Had an amazing meal here. Wanted to try something different and the staff were so helpful, we went with their suggestions and they were absolutely delicious.the food is excellent & staff really friendly. Can’t recommend this place enough

Great place for an Indian meal. Staff are very friendly and efficient. We often go for a Sunday meal and are never disappointed. Every meal I've had here has been excellent but the Chill Massala King Prawn I had on my last visit was easily...

Eat in and had takeaway from diya and I can honestly say the food is fantastic. Best Indian I’ve had in a long time. The prices are very good plus the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant to any Indian food lover.

First visit to Diya this evening. It is a hidden gem of St Helens. Food was the nicest I have had in a long time. Service was excellent, all the staff were on hand to cater to our every need. They were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place; found my new favourite Indian restaraunt. Thanks for a lovely eve. We will definitely be back soon❤️

Went and had a lovely meal tonight, lovely and hot and very tasty, the staff are so friendly willing to advise and help you with your choices, been to lots of indian restaurants and this is defo the best.

First time visit ,lovely atmosphere staff very friendly food very tasty and fresh ,will be going again keep up the good work quite busy for the time we was there 18.00 - 19.00 but no issues with waiting service great

When we arrived it was very busy we were seen straight away We waited for about 15 minutes before we were taken to our table while we waited we ordered drinks The drinks arrived at the table as we sat down The food was excellent the staff checked when we ordered that we had ordered correctly as one of the meals was a spicey one which was right The starters were out straight away piping hot not long after the mains arrived which were amazing Would go back again

Second time here at DIya food amazing, lovely friendly staff , our now number one Indian to dine in . Delicious. Best Indian in north west Great menu

We called in here for the first time despite living locally. Really don’t understand why we haven’t been before. Absolutely superb food. Service as good as anywhere. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. The only thing I would say is that they don’t do...

We have tried a-lot of Indians all over but this was fantastically exceptional. The service was just brilliant, they made us feel so welcome, were tentative and friendly but at the same time we were left to it. The atmosphere alongside the overall delicious meals...

Back after a while. Had another lovely meal with the family. Great food and a very warm and welcoming service. Thank you to all the staff

Went tonight really enjoyed it food was good drinks fine would definitely go again

Not great. Been here many times before but this time put me off enough that I won’t be going back as the service we received was pretty shabby. We were sat in the extension part of the restaurant and a few other tables said they...

Excellent range of Indian food, very fresh and beautifully cooked and served by very polite, efficient and friendly staff. A very buzzy and vibrant atmosphere, great evening.

First time coming but won't be the last. For some reason we have always avoided it, possibly due to its location, not sure. Glad we came as the food was excellent. All clearly freshly cooked and very tasty. Every member of staff was also incredibly polite and professional. If I was to have one complaint, and this applies to most restaurants nowadays, drinks are expensive. We will definitely return though and I can confidently recommend.

Best Indian around. Worth a visit

From the reviews, I thought I would be in for a fantastic meal. Well, it's was not what I really got. I only eat fish dishes and the restaurant only has one, and no suggestion of changing any of the other dishes to incorporate fish. The dish was tasteless and bland. The pickle tray was mainly out of a jar and the poppadoms didn't taste that fresh. It was a very disappointing meal.

First time here tonight with a friend after searching for a perfect Indian restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food is absolutely delicious and the presentation of the food is also lovely - we honestly couldn’t fault anything and we’re fairly picky eaters!! The staff are also lovely! So happy to have found an Indian restaurant that give you the option to have Quorn in the curries instead of just vegetables for the vegetarian option! Would definitely recommend!
