This is a great place with delicious food and friendly, helpful staff, who were happy to make a dish a bit more "saucy" for my brother who loves a load of sauce on his rice. Their buffalo or lamb bhoona is amazing.

We visited Diya with a party of 6 for a birthday treat. The food was superb, especially the goat curry. We will definitely be returning.

We went yesterday evening and had the buffalo and the goat curries. Both were extremely tasty and we would definitely have them again - although very tempted by the curry made with dark chocolate for next time.

Staff were charming and food delicious with generous portions - will definitely be back! Only negative is it was very hot in the restaurant and the air conditioning was only switched on shortly before we left, would have been more comfortable if it had been on earlier.

A fabulous experience all round. Top class food ,probably the best Goan prawn curry I've had. An unusual and tantalising menu which made choosing difficult. I need to go back at least 4 more times to have my other choices!!

After our starters we were asked to move table as they needed our table for a large group. We were moved to the back of the restaurant right next to the kitchen with no real apology. Looking into the kitchen you could see lots of large tubs of Pataks ready made curry pastes, which presumably were used to make the dishes. Maybe this explains why the dishes we had were probably the blandest ones we have ever had in an Indian Restaurant.

Visited on a quiet Thursday night so the restaurant was quite empty. Pleasant staff and prompt service. A good number of special dishes as well as the usual Indian/Bangladeshi standards.

4 of us enjoyed our meals which were not too sweet or fatty. The goat dish was very good, the 2 lamb dishes were slightly on the tough side but still very tasty and the mild king prawn dish was excellent as was the service, Recommended restaurant!

The food was delicious - well prepared and well served. The prices were good - bit more expensive than average but worth it for the more unusual menu. My only criticism would be was that it was incredibly noisy. There were a lot of tables close together and the minimal furnishings amplified the noise. We’ll be back, but maybe not on a Saturday.

Excellent restaurant. Extensive menu choice and friendly and helpful staff. We had poppadums and dips, then each ordered a main and a naan, shared a rice, a diet coke, water and had a bottle of prosecco and it was only £56. Really good value for money and the food was delicious too. 10/10 would 100% visit again.
