diwa classic indian cuisine

bad food. how this place can get away with selling this so called indianfoodastounds me. it looks the part very clean.that's all, i cansay that was good. the staff that work there are very unpleasant don't have much people skills.for the price of thisfoodyou should get a good curry not a tasteless piece of chickencovered in tomatoes soup which was supposed to be buttered chicken. worst of all they charge you ridiculous prices for this.white anyway came home and put it in garbage very disappointed..

we have dined here over the past few years and have not been disappointed. thefoodis delicious and plentiful. the service is prompt although thefoodpreparation needs time to be so good. atmosphere is quiet with table and booth seating.

disgusting service staff.foodwas not cooked proper and had plastic in it. it was the worst experience. just would never suggest this restaurant

wonderful and tasty. i had the opportunity to take my family to this wonderful restaurant, every thing we ordered from a huge selection of items were very flavorful and fresh in taste. pakoras, nans, rice, butter chicken and mix veg were our choice and they were very tasty. the manager and staff were very knowledgeable and the place itself was clean and appealing.
for the previous review, butter chicken suppose to be the mildest dish on the menu if you wanted to order hot and spicy you should have been ordered vindaloo or some other dish. obviously the wrong choice and who would take the half eatenfoodback?
anyway i would recommend this place to all, try yourself.

wasn't the best service or food...foodwasn't overall the best indian we've ever had, rather greasy and gave my boyfriend and i stomach aches. thefoodwas delivered an hour late (2 hours and 10 minutes in total), and by that time thefoodwas already fairly cold. also, we found it to be way too overpriced. when my boyfriend saw the bill, it was $51.00 for two main dishes, rice, and an appetizer combo.. we've definitely had better service and better quality indianfoodfor a much lower price.

fabulousfoodand wonderful service.foodcame out very fast. ordered vindaloo, butter chicken, garlic naan. all absolutely amazing. great prices. great atmosphere. restaurant is small, very classy and intimate. got the sangria. best white wine sangria i've had ever! definitely will be back.

best i've had.... we're foodies who live (and love) to eat. and we're very particular, as we hate to have even one bad meal. i hate to tell people about diwa, because it will just make it even more difficult to get in, but you cannot keep this a secret. thefoodis superb- best indian we've had. we drive an hour for this. the chickens they use must be lying around in comfortable chairs watching tv- they are so tender! and the spices are perfect. if you happen to be in ontario, and if you like great good, you have to go. service is fine, but don't expect to get yourfoodquickly. it takes time to cook properly, and they clearly don't just have a big pot of stuff simmering out back! good things are worth waiting for, and this is great.

keep hearing good things about this place.... ...however, it has been a bit disappointing thus far. been here twice. the first time was for dinner, and thefoodwas alright, but the service was fairly slow. second time was for the buffet, and again, thefoodsimply didn't impress. overall, i'd rather try somewhere else for indian food.

by far the very best indianfoodin guelph, though the take out is better than dining in, as everything is cooked fresh, so it can feel like it takes a long time to get your meal.

good food, horrible service. i went there on a saturday with 2 other friends. the atmosphere was a little dim. the waiter took an hour to get thefoodout. thefoodthat came out was fantastic, best i've had so far. the waiter then messed up the bill and blamed it on us. probably will not head back anytime soon.

hands down the best indianfoodin guelph, if not ontario!. i have been to diwa two times for the lunch buffet and once for dinner, and i have never been disappointed. be sure that you try this place sometime -- it's my new favourite guelph restaurant.

atmosphere:

don't let the simple exterior and less-than-ideal location fool you . . . this restaurant is amazing. in contrast to the exterior, the interior is spotlessly clean, pleasing to the eye, and with a romantically dim ambiance.

food:

the lunch buffet is my personal favourite -- for what you get, it's very cheap and thefoodis very fresh. the samosas are huge and taste homemade. the bhajees and pakoras are fresh (where as in other indian buffets it seems as though they have been sitting a long while). fresh delicious garlic naan is brought to your table. the quality of the meat and vegetables used is very high. i don't know how they season their basmatic rice, but it's very good. most of the buffet items are even gluten free.
