Went to Diyako on a Saturday night for a couple of drinks, and honestly, it was a disappointing experience. The first round of drinks was great, but after that, it went downhill fast. The second round tasted awful, and each drink after that just kept getting worse. It was like they stopped caring about quality as the night went on.
On top of that, the service wasn’t great. The waitress never brought us water—I had to ask for it myself, which shouldn’t be the case at a bar. It felt like we were being ignored, and overall, the experience was not worth it. Definitely wouldn’t go back.

From the moment I stepped into the bar, it was clear that this place was anything but inviting. The atmosphere was unwelcoming—dim lighting, unattractive décor, and an overall sense of discomfort in the air. It didn’t feel like a place where you could relax or enjoy a night out. Instead, it felt cold, sterile, and devoid of any charm or warmth.
The food? Absolutely dreadful. I can’t even begin to express how disappointing it was to receive food that looked and tasted like it had been hastily thrown together in a rush. Everything was drenched in grease, with no attention paid to flavor or presentation. The so-called “bar food” was greasy, tasteless, and clearly made with the bare minimum of care. It was a far cry from what you would expect at any decent establishment—let alone one that’s supposed to offer a casual dining experience.
Service was painfully slow, and I mean agonizingly slow. Our server seemed completely uninterested in our table, as if we were an afterthought. The wait was far longer than necessary, and it was obvious that the staff was either overwhelmed or simply disorganized. But it wasn’t just the wait that was a problem. The lack of attention to detail and customer satisfaction was glaringly apparent. We were left waiting for refills, and when we asked for something, it took an eternity to get a response, if we even got one at all.
As for the staff, one server stood out in the worst possible way. A woman with black hair, who appeared to be of Persian descent, was the epitome of indifference. She lacked any semblance of professionalism or courtesy, making us feel more like an inconvenience than paying customers. Her attitude was condescending, and she seemed utterly uninterested in providing any kind of service, even the most basic level of attention. When we tried to address our concerns, she was dismissive and unhelpful, which made everything worse.
Overall, this experience was a complete letdown. Between the terrible food, the slow service, and the unwelcoming ambiance, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. There are far better options out there where you can actually enjoy your time without feeling like you’re imposing on the staff. This was a major disappointment from start to finish, and I will definitely not be returning.

I liked the cocktails, and the design of the place is nice. However, on the Saturday night I visited, the kitchen was not operational, so I couldn't try the food.

Came to Diyako for the first time to celebrate my birthday and have a drink and Shisha with some friends. Our server Moral was very kind and made me feel special for my birthday with cake for me and birthday music! Will definitely come back in the future. Very happy Richmond Hill “Downtown” has this hidden gem!

“I had a great time at Diyako Lounge! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was attentive and friendly. The lounge offers a unique and enjoyable experience, especially with its comfortable seating and stylish decor. While the food was good, I believe the menu has potential for improvement. With a few enhancements to the dishes, it could truly stand out as a top dining spot. Overall, it’s a nice place to relax, and I would recommend it for a laid-back evening.”

Shisha is great, although more flavors would be better, like coconut and vanilla. The food was good as well but could be better.
