"my wife and I visited diya for a lunch under the week and enjoyed it, although it was not cheap for lunch menus. the restaurant offers only -la-carte dishes for lunch, but gives 30% discount on most main dishes. the place was empty when we arrived there (13:00), but later two more tables were occupied. the interieur is beautifully designed and beautifully illuminated - not too dark as at some places, but has a nice cozy atmosphere. it is essentially a medium sized room with a small bar. in summer there are sitting opportunities in the open in a beautiful garden. as an appetizer we had Papadam cracker (lens bread, 2 euro) and lens soup (4,90 €). to the good papadams there was a mint yogurt sauce, a sweet sauce and some inlaid vegetables (chutney), which was somewhat too sour and sharp for our taste and not very delicate, but nevertheless interesting. we like to eat sharp (and warm) very much, but I think the gurkens could be milder. the suppe was very nice, the lenses were well cooked, but not sour, and the spice was mild and wise curry and bhindi lamb (8,90e for lunch) - in butter fried lambs in curry sauce with swirling, tomato and okra. the taste of both dishes was complicated and interesting, and they were served with very good saffron rice. the courts could be a little bigger, but were quite saturating. the service was in order and the skir was quickly arrived. this is a place we will definitely visit again. for lunch it is a bit expensive, but for a romantic dinner, a special occasion or for Indian food with above average quality we recommend it."
