Diwana Bhel Poori House 123 Drummond Street, London NW1 2HL

"First time at Diwana and it didn't disappoint. Tucked away around the back of Euston station you'd never know it was there but thankfully our friend is a regular here and recommended we tag along. Diwana is not your regular Indian restaurant, its no frills approach to decor allows you to concentrate on the food. Which for those of you more used to the traditional chicken tikka masala and other boringness will come as a great surprise. The South Indian Dosa is the house speciality and comes in both vegan and vegetarian. I have a Thali which was excellent and a good introduction to a number of the dishes on the menu. Prices for central London are very reasonable, we paid just over £15 per head including service. If you need to collect drinks to take in there are pubs and off licences in the local area. I will certainly be back again to try to one of the Dosa next time."

"The decor hasn't changed since it was first set-up as a restaurant more than 30 years ago. It's dark, dated and tired looking. The food is not half as tasty as it used to be and I wasn't particularly impressed with the service either. Very dissapointed, in fact."

"A true hidden gem for vegetarian food, this place keeps the tradition of service industry keeping everything so simple that the focus has been on food , one of the best places in London for BYOB ! Always a delight to eat great food cheap and wash it down with something you like! I have been coming here for years , not sure this visit if the management has changed ? The Sambhar has not been rasam like it was more daal like , the Dosa was amazing , the filling was a bit hash botch of veg put together! Still all in all good could have been better , the chaat was wet but tasty ! I am sure if you do not know the food from basic it will be very much enjoyable!"

"Having been here, on special occasions, as a child (about 30 years ago), it is lovely to frequent this place again (been twice in the last 3 years). Back in the 1980's there wasn't many Vegetarian Restaurants, hence we'd travel into London for our "fix" as a treat. To be fair, nothing's changed and it looks almost the same as it did back then. Could do with modernising and decorating. The food was fast and tasty. Definitely hasn't lost that quality and feeling of nice home cooked food, at a reasonable price. Which for the location (Central London) was good to see. We also came earlier in the year, but the service was terrible from one particular rude waiter, hence not 5 stars. However, on this Visit he wasn't there, and the waiters were generally much younger. The service was very good."

"Good authentic food in relaxed cafe style decor. Hadn't changed in the 20yrs since my last visit. Still a good can't go wrong choice for authentic vegetarian Indian food."
