I certainly recommend this restaurant if you like excellent quality food delivered by polite staff. The service was excellent , the staff were very attentive. Definitely the best Indian restaurant in Winchester!
Good food and excellent and timely service made our evening great. There was little time waiting to be served and the menu is very extensive
Had an absolutely lovely evening at Diya last night. The service is brilliant with the staff being very attentive, topping up our tap water, clearing space etc. I would really recommend the Navrattan Biryani as it was incredible and very filling!
we had really nice time the staff and the food was amazing . the staff were welcoming and gave us hugs and the best Indian food
Excellent food and service in nice surroundings with good atmosphere. Very enjoyable post cinema dinner. Our first time at Diya and definitely won’t be the last.
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!
High standard of food, with excellent flavours. Gap between starters and mains rather long, but in all other respects service excellent. Our third visit - will go again.
We decided to visit this Indian Restaurant based on previous reviews and were not disappointed at all. The meal was very tasty and the services was excellent and would visit again.
This is a very friendly restaurant with a relaxed local feel. The food is very good and you can see it being prepared in the open kitchen. One of the best in Winchester.
Great food and service. A lovely evening out. Would recommend if you like a 'good' Indian meal and pleasant ambiance. Have visited before and would come again.
The quality of food was really awesome.. we enjoyed our office Christmas party. The guys were telling me that the lamb and mutton was very good and tender.. Overall nice experience
We took some friends there and all enjoyed a delicious meal. I can recommend the fish. The service was friendly and efficient and we look forward to our next visit.
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.
Great staff, good food prepared by excellent chef... variations on traditional curries! Fabulous... We have been to this restaurant many times , service and food are always consistent.
Attentive service but food was slow to arrive. The food quality was unexciting. The restaurant has potential but it’s not the best of its type in Winchester yet.
Outstanding food and service. The best Indian food we have ever eaten. Lovely and friendly staff, many smiles and laughter whilst serving your food. Looking forward to our next visit. Jo and Maria
There was a big and varied menu, with several original dishes. Service was prompt and friendly, even though the restaurant was very busy. Prices are reasonable for the quality offered.
The food was really tasty and the service was very good.
Service excellent and food very tasty especially the vegetable curry would recommend to anyone who likes Indian food, i hear they do take away too
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.
This place offers a it's visitors a menu with some interesting choices of well presented, good quality food, served with great customer care and attention.
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.
Lovely food, had to wait for a table but the service was still very attentive, and they gave free drinks. All in all very friendly and good value.
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.
Staff and food all very good, busy restaurant but plenty of time for us. Staff and food all very good, busy restaurant but plenty of time for us.
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.
A warm welcome from fabulous staff who made our evening very special. Fantastic food and can recommend the Chicken Diya! Thank you so much! :)
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 service and great food.Very adventurous menu and very good value for money. Would certainly go again and highly recommend to my friends and colleagues
Great service food excellent best ever bhajis everything tasted fresh and light and good value look out for the goat and buffalo dishes and some interesting starters.
Excellent service and lovely food, with a good variety of specialist dishes with a local twist - one of the best Indian / Asian restaurants we have been to for a long time.
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).
From the first time we visited Diya we have been met with smiles and good service... the food is excellent, the staff and chef really care that you enjoy your food... have been again and again and never disappointed
An interesting menu and great food together with excellent service meant that my friends and I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Well worth a visit.
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!
