I get takeout from Diya every couple months. It's a lot closer to me than Rasika and stays open pretty late. It's a great dinner option at 8:30 PM. Most of the time the food is great, but every once in a while the food won't taste as flavorful. I'm not sure if they have different chefs or if it was a fluke. Everything I've had has been good: tikka masala, biryanis, butter chicken, nann, samoas, and salmon curry. I really love the salmon curry and samosas! The restaurant is in a weird location, but the staff is really nice and quick. Overall, 4.5/5. Great food for the price.

This place was amazing. It was so good we considered moving closer..maybe even upstairs. The food was some of the best Indian we have ever had. People were nice. Restaurant was nicely decorated and clean.

Fantastic! Best Indian food my wife and I have had since we visited India a few years ago. I recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala and Jhol Momo. Don't forget, no meal is complete without a glass of their incredible Mango Lassi. We loved how all the food was served family style, so it made it easy to share. The service was great and we were especially happy about how family friendly they were and how accommodating they were with our baby (10 months old). We'll be back next time we are in the area.Kid-friendliness: Everyone was very friendly towards our 10-month old and they provided a high-chair for him.

This establishment is overhyped with subpar food. The biryani lacked authenticity and tasted like plain, boiled rice with flavorless chicken. The paneer tikka and chicken tikka masala were equally disappointing, lacking any discernible flavor. Spending $125 on such tasteless food was not worth it.Furthermore, the owner's behavior mirrors the poor quality of the food. Their aggressive responses to honest feedback demonstrate a lack of professionalism. I encourage others to share their unbiased opinions. The owner's dismissive attitude only reflects poorly on them and their establishment. It's clear they should focus on improving their food rather than harassing customers.(Revised my review after the owner comment)

An extra hyped place with trash food. Biryani did not taste even close to a Biryani. Its pretty much boiled colored rice with boiled chicken in it. Ordered Paneer tikka and chicken tikka masala, and they are just unflavored as they can. Spent 125$ for a food that tasted like nothing. Not worth it. Wait for the owner's feedback and see how he harasses and berates his customers.
