"I very much enjoyed my visit to Cafe Diwali. In terms of quality, the food is on a par with other decent Indian restaurants, however, the way they present it feels more authentic. I particular, I like the way many of their mains are served with a naan bread, rather than rice as standard. The menu is quite limited, but well put together, but lacks some of the classics that some people would like. They have a good selection of drinks as well. The atmosphere is great. It was quiet when I went, but it must be even better when the place is buzzing. The staff were friendly and attentive and we didn't have to wait long for our food. The only reason it dropped a star is the price. In my opinion it is expensive. £5 7 for a starter (not bad), but £17 19 for a main course (curry naan), with another £4 5 if you want a rice. In my experience this makes it the expensive option for a curry in Salisbury. If you can swallow the cost then I would definitely recommend it."

We had an amazing time at Cafe Diwali. We began with Papadums, then enjoyed Pakoras and coconut beef, and finished off by sharing a tandoori platter. Everything was delicious, but the papadums, pakoras (especially with Tamarind chutney), and the tandoori chicken were the highlights. The staff was extremely friendly and provided helpful recommendations, all at a great price. We highly recommend dining here! Service: Dine in. View menu

This really is great food. Not a wide range of food on the menu which is a positive as this isn’t a typical ‘curry house’ Relaxed cafe feel but I have been twice, once for a special occasion and once because we had no food in the house and it felt appropriate both times. Price OK, just under £20 for pj t and a curry (pp). I recommend giving it a try. Vegetarian options: Good options it’s authentic Indian so seems effortlessly vegetarian. Service: Dine in

We had a lunchtime visit here, and the welcome, food and service were all great. We sat in the conservatory area. The mainside downside is that everywhere was in need of a good clean. The windows and sills were really black around the edges, everywhere needed repainting. The roof windows would let more light in if they were cleaned and it would look much better if the blinds were cleaned or renewed. The ladies toilet was clean, but the sink and around the tap was really grimy and the carpet needed hoovering. We will return because we've always liked it. However, if the cleanliness doesn't improve, the food alone would not be a reason to keep coming back.
