What sandeep a doesn't like about Diwana Bhel Poori House:
A value for money eatery gone downhill since COVID. The last time we visited with family in 2019, the food, service was superb. In 2022 however, the picture was different, either you have buffet or set meals and based on your choice, you and your whole party can decide where to sit. This is a deal breaker as this didn't exist in 2019 and the current management thinks one buffet can feed off their company, in which is... View all feedback. What John Griffiths likes about Diwana Bhel Poori House:
Delicious, authentic inexpensive food. It's basic decor inside but the food is the star attraction here. An assortment of people eat in here, hippy and city types. It's perfect if you have an hour or so to kill whilst waiting for a train st nearby London Eudton. View all feedback.

Vegan options on menu and happy, not vegan options to change for customers. all very tasty and cheap.

Diwana, a long-standing Indian restaurant in central London, has received a mix of reviews from diners. Some have praised the authentic and delicious food, with standout items such as the dosa of the day and the vegetarian Indian buffet being highlights. Customers have also noted the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the option to bring your own alcohol. However, there have been some negative reviews regarding the portion sizes, taste inconsistencies, and the lack of authenticity in the food. Overall, Diwana seems to be a popular choice for those seeking vegetarian Indian cuisine in London, with both loyal customers returning for years and new visitors enjoying the flavorful dishes.

A nice place to enjoy tangy flavors of India. Sambhar and coconut chutney need massive improvement though.
