Service was slower than expected. Restaurant was busy and we were a large party, but we had to wait a long time for the food to be brought.

The food and service at Diya are not to be equalled in Winchester, excellent!! The chef here is fantastic, great quality ingredients, all dishes are so fresh with a great balance of spices in each!! Front of house are really friendly, without being too over enthusiastic! Our favourite Indian restaurant in Hampshire!!

Great evening! The service was excellent...attentive without being over-powering. The food was delicious and not over-priced. The atmosphere was relaxed and we weren't rushed. We will be going again.

Great service and delicious food. Definitely go back when we’re in the area again. Food was fresh and not at all oily, like some curry’s can be. Willing to accommodate your needs and variations to dishes.

As usual very friendly and efficient service. I had a Jalfrezi and requested extra heat, next time I will ask for a "little" extra heat. Great food.

Lovely meal. Great food and very friendly service. We were tempted to order too much food and they gently advised us not too, so we had just the right amount in the end, so great value too.

Excellent meal and service, good value. The recommended goat curry was superb - lean, tender, flavoursome. The dessert menu is disappointing - 'food service refrigerator'-type rather than Indian desserts/puddings.

The staff were warm and friendly and really put a lot of effort into our dining experience. The food was delicious; one of the best Indians I've had in a while. I would highly recommend a visit. I definitely will be paying them another visit in the future.

The best Indian I've been to in years...Cool interior, not like your typical Indian restaurant. The food was exceptional. No processed junk and full of favour. You can see the chefs at work at the rear of the establishment. The service was perfect, polite and friendly. Definitely worth a visit!!

Excellent food and really friendly service, our first visit to this restaurant but look forward to eating here again. Menu includes interesting choices (curry with chocolate as an ingredient was delicious!) alongside all the favourites (sag aloo was best I've tasted).

Fantastic food and great service. The kitchen staff managed to get our order wrong by mixing up my vindaloo water buffalo curry with my sons' garlic chilli chicken! My son ploughed on through and finished his super spicy chicken and they cooked another water buffalo dish for me - hotter by far this time! My wife was rapturous about her goat curry and the food was delicious. I've no doubt we'll be back!

The best Indian food I have had for a long time . Would like to see Indian sweets or rice pudding on the menu instead of commercial ice cream deserts. Food all very fresh beautifully presented. Staff helpful and no problems getting wheelchair in. We will be going again

Excellent food, service and value. The mixed and vegetarian starters were exceptional as was the goat curry and the paratha the best I have tasted outside of India. I highly recommend Diya.

Given that Winchester already has many excellent Indian restaurants (e.g. nearby Gandhi), you might think this was a risky venture. However, I have been here twice now and the food is excellent (more than makes up for the sad loss of the Bengal Sage), and the service is exceptional. If you've not been, try it out!

Lovely warm welcome, but the food was nothing to get excited about. Some interesting choices on the menu - this isn't just bog-standard curries - but there just wasn't any real wow factor to the dishes we ordered.

Went for dinner here on Friday night, lively and busy, head waiter was very friendly and helpful, food was delicious. Only minor criticism was the time it took for mains to arrive, but not unexpected at such a busy time. Great place.
