                                        This restaurant has a creative menu with excellent service. Unfortunately there seems to be a quality control problem. I ordered the lamb burger, which contained bone chips and I broke my tooth. I have called the restaurant twice and left messages, but have still not heard back. I think it is important for them to investigate this thoroughly to prevent more injuries.

                                        The quality of food at Diwan has changed with smaller servings and awkward pairings. For example, why have 3 samosas as a shareable item for 2 people? Or serve a main dish such as palek paneer with only small naan bread quarters? There was way too much of the dish and little garnish or side item to compliment it. I remember a more robust menu with beautiful side dishes in 2018. The door to the patio was kept open and wasps were very aggravating. A better choice of seating would have improved the ambience. Fortunately, the exhibitions were beautiful and did not disappoint us.

                                        An interesting, varied menu that will delight your taste buds. Since the opening, we have enjoyed our meals. The service was good. Thank you. It was too bad this time that we had two loud young ladies close by that made it not as pleasant for half the meal. We were glad when they departed.
