We placed an order for takeout directly with Diya Indian Cuisine on the phone. It was ready on time when we went to pick it up. Order was mostly correct; just missing a soda with from one of the lunch special which wasn't a big deal. The portion size for the items, particularly the lunch specials, were pretty petite but the prices are cheaper to reflect that. I had the Palak Paneer. Flavor was on the sweeter size. read more

Second time I ordered from here- food was good , however, the lamb korma portion was small. The inside of the restaurant needs attention as the walls a scuffed and floors looks dirty. Probably won't return. read more

They have some of the best Lamb Chops in the biz don't forget to ask for them extra spicy hot! My second favorite thing to order is their butter chicken because the pieces are so soft and tender just the way I like it lol. I frequently order the wings appetizer along with the baked potato which is very tasty and filling as well. Lastly I can say this restaurant makes some of the best garlic naan I've ever had in my life hands down period! Great combination of food and service at this place they never miss. read more

I had ordered lamb kadai last week . It tasted like someone put the whole jar of salt in the cooking pot. Had to literally throw away the whole thong. Such a waste. Wouldn't recommend going here read more

This is my new favorite spot for Indian food. I went to eat inside once then the second was take out. Unfortunately both times there was hair in my food... like I said great food friendly staff but 2/2 times I have gotten food from there I have found hairs. read more

Great food. Difficult to discover location...right before th train overpass. We enjoyed every dish...and look forward to trying more. Lamb Saagwala and Mac di Daal were outstanding! Really perfect samosas as well. read more

I had the Lamb Saagwala which came with spiced boneless pieces of lamb with fresh spinach & mild spices. It was really good; spicy but not too spicy. The restaurant is set up and has a nice ambience. The servers were very nice. It's great to have a good Indian food restaurant in the area. read more

the chicken tikka masala has been tomato red and just tastes like straight up tomato! I don't know what's going on with this place and whos making it but it doesn't taste like chicken tikka. read more

I tried this place because the reviews were good. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan. The food taste and quality wasn't that great. The food was bland and watered down. I expected better tasting Indian food. I wouldn't recommend to a friend. read more

I came here with my family on a Sunday afternoon for the brunch. I called in the morning to see if there was chicken tikka masala and they confirmed that it was a part of the buffet. We arrived to find a buffet that had an extremely limited selection of food. We were the only people in the restaurant. Literally there was not enough food in the serving bowls to feed a family of four. The limited selections were never replenished after we went up and served ourselves one helping. There was a lentil dish, vegetable dish, fish dish and lamb dish. I don't really know what they were because they were not labeled. There was no chicken dish at all. I will definitely never return to this establishment. read more

We went for the buffet. Although the lady was pleasant, the selections were very limited and bit bland.

Our new favorite go-to for Indian. We have already been twice this week after finding it on Sunday. We have loved everything we have tried: Mulligatawny, Samosa Chat, Delhi ki Alu Chat, Alu Gobi, Chicken Tikka Masala & the desserts are out of this world!! We will be back soon and look forward to trying the rice pudding! Simi, our server (both times), couldn't have been more kind and accommodating. If you have a spice level preference just let them know and your meal will be prepared to your liking! Be a little patient this food is fresh and made to order, and well worth the little wait. Also grateful to have met such a kind and generous owner who really cares about your experience, even though the food absolutely speaks for itself. Yummmm read more

Good quality, on time delivery. We've ordered a few times and everything was perfect each time.

We used to love Diya when it was on Rockaway so we were so excited to see it pop up in VS again. It's just as good if not better! Service is still excellent. Food is still perfectly seasoned, fresh, and cooked well. Prices are super reasonable. This is our new local spot. We will come back to try their morning special soon. read more

Delicious food! We loved everything that we ordered. The owner and staff were very friendly. This is our new place for Indian!

Great place, great amount of food for the price. Would come back again. Staff was very friendly

Having lived in Long Island now for a few years now, we found it hard to find the same quality Indian food in Long Island that rivaled the flavors found in Manhattan or Queens. This all changed with Diya. I along with my entire family can say hands down that Diya is the best indian food in Long Island without question. The delicious combination of flavors which at the same time is not too heavy and is very affordable is the the perfect mix. Malabar Chicken curry, Lamb Saagwala and Drunken Chicken are some of our favourites. A must try for anyone who loves Indian food or wants to explore some authentic flavors with a refreshing spin. read more

Fabulous Chicken Tikka Masala. Samosas-meh But the MANGO LASSIE itself is worth the trip! We got Take out.

My wife and I used to frequent Diya when they were on Rockaway Ave in Valley stream years ago and were sad when they closed. Their food is about as amazing as it gets. My go-to dish is always the Lamb Pasanda and my wife's is usually the Chicken Tika masala. I usually over do it with Naan as I'm Eyetalian and love to dip..... the owner is a complete gentleman and the service is terrific. The decor is very inviting. I'm just happy they opened again. Having a traditional/non traditional (he admits that they tend to try some different things) so close to us is a blessing. Seek them out and go and enjoy the experience. read more

Amazing food!! They will make almost anything beyond the menu. Friendly staff. Nice overall restaurant. read more

With a lifetime of appreciating Indian cuisine, we find Diya's cooking to be prepared with perfection. The ambiance is simple, highlighted with good quality white linen tablecloths. The owner is charming and welcoming as is everyone there. We do wish that the lighting was less bright but we will always look forward to our next meals at Diya. read more

Delicious, fresh, very friendly family owned business and they also have a buffet lunch

This is our go-to dining spot on the weekends. The buffet continues to be an attraction consisting of chicken dishes and delicious goat curry in a thick tasty sauce - naan is included and price has been reduced making a super deal for quality food. The mango lassie is the smoothest creamiest and not too sweet. The drunken chicken is tasty and melts in your mouth. Garlic naan is slightly crispy and always on point. Highly recommend this neighborhood restaurant. Service does not disappoint- very friendly, attentive and efficient. read more

the food is really tasty, smaller portions then the usual indian food places in my area. but over all the bar and food was great. Friendly and funny staff. service is a little slow. i suggest, dont bring little kids and take out is a great option. really nice ambiance compared to a local indian spot. read more

Amazing people and food. Will come back time and time again for the Biryani and the tikki masala

I loved the service and the food. My favorite was the Padhi Chaat appetizer ($8) and garlic naan bread ($3). I also had the chicken tikka ($14). Everything was delicious. Must come again. read more

Food was amazing. I've never adventure to eat other cuisines that much because I have celiacs and they had all dishes that are naturally gluten free. I'll be coming read more

The food was absolutely fantastic. Very clean nice bright restaurant. The staff was lovely. The shelf wine was nice. The crab cake appetizer was absolutely exceptional. Really a fantastic dinner. Taste bud sensation!! read more

Service was great! Everyone was very nice! However the food had no taste. The butter chicken was on the sweet side and is made with chicken breast instead of chicken thighs, tandoori chicken had lots of color but unfortunately no taste whatsoever. The samosas were good. The naan had too much butter on them. As an easy Indian this restaurant is lacking that really good Indian taste. read more

Food was absolutely wonderful! We had chicken tikka masala and a lamb dish, with several starters and sides. I would give the food many times 6 stars, if possible. Service was just as fabulous. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and prompt. Ambiance is very pleasant. We will return, return, return, and return. read more

this is awsome its a 10 star it was the best food ever this food is recommended try this
