Diwana offers a nostalgic dive into authentic South Indian vegetarian cuisine, characterized by its enduring charm and simplicity. With an understated decor that seems unchanged since its inception, this gem stands out for its commitment to genuine flavors and consistent quality. The menu features an array of classic dishes like the famed masala dosa, a crispy, rice-flour crepe filled with spiced potatoes, and the highly recommended thali, a platter providing a variety of tastes including curries and lentils. Regulars particularly rave about the weekend vegetarian buffet which showcases an extensive selection of dishes with a hint of modern spice. Diwana thrives on a warm service culture, as attentive staff guide diners through their choice of vegan-friendly options, even hosting a BYOB policy for an extra personal touch. For those seeking traditional flavors coupled with remarkable value in a long-standing locale, Diwana remains a preferred stop for both locals and visitors alike.
