Diwali Indian cuisine — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

We used to come here every 6 weeks or so. Went back recently. Apparently there's a new owner. It's DREADFUL!! 2 girls at reception talking to a customer. Not one of them acknowledged us when we came in. We made our own way into the dining area to find a table. Waitress came and took excess cutlery away (table set for 4, we were only 2) and returned promptly with poppadoms and dips and jug of water. Downhill from here on in.

Ignored for rest of night. 2 delivery drivers sat at table near kitchen waiting for delivery jobs. Talked with 2 female staff in very loud voices. I called a waitress & asked her to play some music. System is broken, she says. So we continued to whisper in this very quiet restaurant, even tho we were the only customers. The staff continued to shout across at each other from restaurant to reception. We were very uncomfortable. We looked at menus (sticky). Food came. We ate. No one asked us if we wanted a dessert (we didn't ) a coffee (we wanted Irish coffees) and we had to call out into the ether to enquire if there was anyone there to get us a bill. We got bill. Cash only. And no one asked us if we had a loyalty card (We did)

Totally different experience now.

Shame. We're disappointed. Going to give this place a miss...

This place is fantastic. I went to India last year for three weeks and this place is the only place I can get the same kind of food I had in the restaurants along Agonda beach.

Wonderful and authentic and family run. The waiter told me the Aloo Gobi was made by his dad. Now that's family run! And the Aloo Gobi is truly delicious. I'm not a vegetarian but I always eat from the vegetarian menu when I go here. I had a little of a friend's veg korma last night while we were there and it was very like the coconut curries we got in Goa. I'll be having that next time.

Also the restaurant itself is quite small which makes it nice and cosy and not too loud. It's a really nice atmosphere. Gets busy at the weekend cause it's so good but that just adds to the vibe.

This place is head and shoulders above any other Indian I've ever been to....

I ordered from here a few weeks back through just eat and unfortunately this take away was quite some distance from my home in dunmurry, they still made it their mission to deliver to me in quick time too...anyways when the food came, everything was there apart from the childrens meal and one side order (not through the fault of this business)...unfortunately to come back out with it was impossible as they were extremley busy and around 10miles from me....so as a goodwill gesture they offered me the kids meal and 1 main with side for free at any time i wish....i cant praise them anymore and the food is great, i think i have found myself a new indian takeaway which i will most gladly travel...
