Diya Indian Cuisine - Alexandria

What an amazing dining experience! The staff was not only friendly but also engaging with my family, making our visit enjoyable from beginning to end. And the food? Absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend starting with the Family Samosas for appetizers; they set the perfect mood for the meal. For our main courses, we indulged in the exquisite Lamb Curry and Shrimp Biryani. Both dishes were simply outstanding. The lamb was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned. As for the Biryani, it was a delightful mix of fresh, flavorful ingredients. The subtle hint of clove really enhanced the freshness and added a captivating spiciness. It’s a dish that truly leaves a lasting impression. To top it all off, Asib generously treated us to dessert—Rice Pudding. It’s a must-try! It’s like savoring a delightful combination of ice cream and peach cobbler. Incredibly delicious and the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.

I highly recommend trying the Pakora as an appetizer. My only issue was that the food was too spicy for my taste, even the mild options. So if you’re sensitive to heat, be sure to ask for it to be extremely mild. Aside from that, the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere.

We were craving Indian food and decided to try Diya Indian Cuisine, and it certainly didn't disappoint! I had visited this place about two years ago, and it was excellent then as well! We started with the Samosa Chaat, which was fantastic. For our main courses, we ordered Daal Makhani and Matar Paneer, paired with Garlic Naan. Everything was perfectly spiced and flavorful! I also had a mango lassi, which reminded me of an orange creamsicle! The menu offers a wide variety of options, giving us plenty to consider. Overall, the food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the decor was lovely. The Indian music playing in the background added a nice touch to our experience!

Love the shrimp vindaloo. The shrimp are large and very flavorful. I think I ordered here 5 times in the past month lol. I also enjoy the garlic naan

Excellent atmosphere. And wasn't too busy when we visited. Very attentive and got us plastic cups for our kids and constant water refills. Samosas 2 did not enjoy the samosas. The outer edge was hardened and innards were mediocre though the adjoining sauces tasted good. Naan (various) 3 par for the course Chicken Tikka (not spicy for kids) 4 creamy and sweet very good quality. Lamb vindaloo 5 really good balance and flavor. A little heavy on the potato but tasted excellent otherwise. Felt a little overpriced. I'd expect this to cost about 60 and it was more like 90 after tip. But the quality was there.
