Last night was my first at Diwali and what a pleasant place it was too, the service was spot on and very polite, the starter was a mixed meat affair and very good it was too, a mix of chicken, kebab and seafood with a side salad, my main meal was the Chicken Tikka massala with Pilau rice, the flavours blended and mixed all through the meal, probably one of the best I've had.
All in all reasonably well priced and excellent food, I will certainly be going back.
We are very big curry eaters and have tried many restaurants around swindon we had a takeaway tonight and I have to say it was the best meal I have had the lamb and chicken was so tender and the taste was unbelievable.swindon has gained a 1st class Indian restaurant and the staff was very helpful and polite
Best Indian in Swindon and comes highly recommended
We have eaten in house a couple of times now. Food has always been superb. All the staff are happy, funny and very attentive. And the restaurant is fresh, clean and has a lovely atmosphere. We had food delivered tonight. We were not disappointed every order was delicious. Hot well packed and tasted amazing. I would highly recommend a visit or a take out. Well done Diwali.
The 2nd time we have eaten here & must say it was excellent both times....food was amazing & staff were extremely polite & helpful ...definitely will go back next time we are in Swindon
Went their with a family.superb food and very pleased service. I would like newbies to try their chicken momo and also chicken chilli. One of the best. Will defo come back
Fabulous place for a party. Excellent food, excellent service liked it so much back for take away tonight.
Food and service was great. Really tasty curries! We haven’t had really good indian food in a long time. We’re definitely coming back.
Ordered some Indian and Nepali food. I am so glad that I have finally found an authentic restaurant in Swindon. This is the best Indian restaurant in Swindon. They make food so well. They also give complimentary chutneys and papads. I will choose this restaurant in place of any of them in Swindon.
One of the best places in Swindon to get a decent Indian meal. Budget friendly too. Excellent staff and excellent service. This is a family run business so they take pride in catering to Individual needs. A must try.
Visited this restaurant in Swindon recently. We ordered vegetarian dishes like Manchurian, naans and the food was tasty. Service could have been better which is why we gave 3 star.
I always seem to rate good experiences as five stars (why wouldn’t you?) but Diwali (Swindon) is deserving of all five for many reasons. The staff are all well presented, polite, helpful and unobtrusive.
Our meals were delivered in a casual manner, which is so nice, as I always feel like I’m being rushed, and that our table is simply awaiting the next customer, but not here. The food is outstanding, and the menu is full of many favourites, but descriptive enough to give a good idea of what’s in store for a dish you may be unfamiliar with!
Food is delivered piping hot, and cooked to perfection. But most importantly (for me anyway) is the price of the various dishes. We visited Swindon with friends, and are used to spending almost half as much again for similar dishes, so this wonderful little restaurant is very pocket friendly.
Given the chance, we’ll visit again, and I would highly recommend Diwali (Swindon) and I doubt you’d be disappointed!! Thank you to everyone involved with making our evening out so pleasant!!
One of the best Nepali/Indian restaurant in Swindon. It's hard to find a restaurant serving such authentic flavours. It was my first time having a Chicken Chettinad and it is my new favourite. Have been back already and will be going back again.
I have been to this place many times, be it offie team parties, birthday parties and limited dinner on private tables. Food is good when comapring to other options in Swindon, however I found the service was not that good and arrogant specially on the 3rd Sept when I last attended a birthday party for one of my close friend's son. Even the hosts were not happy about it.
Serving Staff could be more courteous and humble, surely will comw back again.
Absolutely fantastic restaurant. We were there Saturday evening and were allowed time to enjoy the food and wine without rushing. The food itself was, and always has been on our many visits, outstanding. I would recommend this restaurant to all of Swindon and beyond.
Now this is what I call a top class Nepalese/Indian restaurant. Super unique tasting dishes, lovely starters, tasty mains, excellent service and first class washroom facilities. Was introduced to it be friends and have since returned.
We went there on last Sunday and food was amazing. The service and staff all were great. Very difficult to get real Indian taste but they did it very well.
oh where to begin, we arrived at Diwali without any expectations but the standard of those rose by every minute, the wonderful scent of spices and grilled food is still making me hungry.
It is by far the best South Asian food we had, or on par with the best. It is quite a nice fusion of North Indian, Nepalese and traditional Indian as we know it.
The best points about this place are:
- service
- quality of food
- menu choices
- background music
- good prices
I don't really know what else to say but overall it was a great experience in every way.
Parking is available and it is just behind past the Greyhound pub in the alleyway.
I have visited Diwali twice, the food is nice, it has the Indian flavour we crave for. The service is slow. There is car parking available on the back side.
The place is in the town center and really has a calm ambience . A slow and mind soothing music. Majestic feeling to relax and enjoy a meal. I loved the place and Food is really great , loved veg options. I frequently visit this restaurant to have some self treats & to have some personal time . I really enjoyed their food.The staff is very good, Lot of good indian food options , Paneer butter masala and Aloo Ghobhi is yummi. For those who have sweet tooth just try the Matkaa Kulfi. A mango lassi is also a good start option.
The service was very attentive & helpful. Everything was carefully explained, when asked about, including dietary requirements. The portions were generous & excellently cooked. You could taste how flavour and spice had been built up through careful cooking. The beer choice was also excellent.
One of the best Nepali/Indian restaurant in Swindon. It's hard to find a restaurant serving such authentic flavours. Definitely coming back here for more. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
This is one of the best Indian cuisines ever! Staff were extremely friendly and food was scrumptious. It was overall very clean with toilets, napkins and more.
Very fancy and great for parties with friends or family.Came with an appetiser,main meal and dessert.
We prefer spicy food and they were happy to accommodate these preferences by adding more spice.Very big place with free parking on the back. All food was halal
I highly recommend the chicken karahi/ jalafrezi or the chicken Biryani. We wanted to try mango magic but it had run out. Very reasonable prices as we had ordered quite a lot. They were very considerate and took in account that we were fasting .
In general, this place was fantastic!
Good Indian food, nice staff. My go to place anytime.
