I am regular at my favorite Diwa; we were there last night for Mother’s day dinner and it was wonderful as always been. The food was full of flavors, service was impeccable and the ambiance was just perfect. Love to have this Indian restaurant in our town……
I'm glad I found this restaurant, I find many of the indian restaurants in Guelph overpriced. At Diwa they make delicious indian food at a very reasonable price (especially the amazing weekday lunch buffet! yum yum).
Highly recommend it.
I do consider myself a conoisseur of Indian food. Diva offers very good quality food. We went for the lunchtime buffet, and I have to say that this was the best Indian food that I've had in Canada outside of Toronto. Time is clearly taken in preparing the food. Great choice of dishes and I can't wait to go back the next time. Very highly recommended.
I was here for the first time for a friend's Birthday party. We were seated right away (5:30pm) and ordered right away, but then waited well over an hour for our dinner!
The loooooong wait was the only downside to this experience. The atmosphere was great and the food was authentic and delicious. The portion sizes are small compared to most other restaurants, but then most other restaurants have enormous portion sizes ;)
We have eaten here numerous times before and it NEVER disappoints! last night we decided to order take out! the portions were great and the flavours were HUGE! each a different level of taste explosion! rich and beautifully balanced!
if you love indian you NEED to visit DIVA!
