"Diwali wasn’t my first choice in North Camp as its Google reviews scores are the lowest in the area. There’s a lesson here: don’t always trust the numbers – it’s without doubt my favourite Indian restaurant in the ‘hood. I’ve dined here at least once and often twice a-week whilst staying in Farnborough. The food is enjoyable, especially the Chicken Chettinand (with extra green chillies), Tawa and Naga when accompanied with Jeera Rice (which itself is not often offered by Indian restaurants). Diwali is also reasonably priced with a curry rice often being a few pounds less than other establishments, and given the food is good, represents very good value indeed. The staff are always really friendly and welcoming and every visit is a pleasure. So, if you’re reading this you can be sure I’ll be returning when in Farnborough and, if you’re thinking about a visit I’d recommend it."

Everytime I'm visiting Farnborough, I have dinner at this beautiful restaurant. Great service and even better food. I simply love the spicy Naga Chicken. Highly recommended. 5 stars, AAA, 1

This restaurant never disappoints. My wife loves the Chettinand dish, but the variety of food available is always excellent. If you decide to order takeout, I recommend picking it up yourself and arriving before the requested time. View menu

Food was okay. Ordered papad, Veg and Chicken momos, chicken and lamb biryani. Chicken momo was good but veg one's outer cover was not soft. Biryani was not upto the point, it was tasteless although served with peas and beans curry. Ambience and service was good.
SUZANNE
We made a very last minute, very large, and unique order for our school PTA event. The staff were so accommodating to take on the order when another place had let us down. The service was excellent, the food was utterly delicious and the value was fab. Thank you Diwali and we will defo be coming again. (so will all of the people at the event!

We have been ordering from Diwali for 5 years now. Food has always been consistent. Have never had a bad meal. Their Chettinand is my favourite and is an absolute must. I have recommended it to so many family and friends. Delivery time is always hit and miss but good food always comes to those who wait. Thanks for a great experience everytime! View menu

Takeaway ordering was simple and delivered slightly ahead of time. Food was OK, but I felt it was anglicised rather than authentic. Quality was good, but nothing to rave about. My personal opinion is that there are better Indian takeaways in the area, but I'm not saying you shouldn't give them a try. Just not what I expect after enjoying genuine authentic Indian food in Wolverhampton. By all means give them a try; they may be what you're looking for and I cannot fault the service.

Not bad, but there are better options in the area. The Lamb tikka was a bit tough, but flavorful. The Papudoms were fresh. The Onion bhajis were slightly undercooked. The Garlic chicken (vindaloo hot) didn't taste very authentic. The chicken was dry, but there was plenty of sauce without any oil. The Mushroom rice (extra mushrooms) was alright. In general, if you're looking for a large portion but aren't too concerned about authenticity, you might enjoy it. The delivery person was friendly.
