" I love Indian food, and Diya checked all the boxes. The butter chicken was creamy and rich, either perfect by itself or scooped up with warm naan. The service was attentive, though our drinks took a bit to come out. Nevertheless, the overall atmosphere added to our enjoyable dinner. We definitely plan to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent visit to Diya, I was surprised by how authentic the flavors were. The palak paneer was exceptionally creamy, and the naan was out of this world! However, the service was a little underwhelming. Our server appeared a bit preoccupied, which made us feel neglected at times. Still, I’d say the food quality outweighs the service issue for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Diya was a fantastic choice for our date night! Start with their samosas, they are heavenly! For mains, the butter chicken exceeded our expectations. Could give it a five-star rating just for the authentic food alone. It was busy during our visit but staff handled matters smoothly. Will totally be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a chance to visit Diya with colleagues after a long day at work, and the comfort of authentic flavors was a heavenly escape! The variety offered here is impressive—everything from biryani to tandoori! The service was delightful, which just enhanced our experience. A solid choice if you're in Alexandria! " (*Curated Review*)

" Feeling hungry and craving Indian food, I decided to give Diya a shot! It was delightful! The spice levels were perfect, and the chicken tikka was beyond amazing! The only downside was the wait time which felt a tad longer than expected. Overall the staff made up for it by being warm and kind throughout! Will be revisiting soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful evening we had at Diya! Not only was the food exceptionally tasty, but the ambiance was lovely too. We enjoyed every aspect of our meal from start to finish. I'll take home great memories from this visit! Will recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Diya was a great find! The flavors were truly authentic and well-presented. The vibes were friendly and welcoming, perfect for a casual outing. I particularly enjoyed their Momo dumplings and Biriyani. A bit on the pricier side, but for the quality of food and service, it's worth it. Would love to come back! " (*Curated Review*)
