Diwali means festival of lights and this Indian eaterie returns once again to South Great Georges Street. This is a very simple no-frills Dublin restaurant that serves both lunch and dinner. Diwali gives diners a choice of three menus including an Early Bird menu.

Diwali main focus is to bring diners as much of the flavours and exotic spices to their menu from different parts of India as possible. Diwali is a relaxed Dublin restaurant bringing together a mixed management of talented and experienced staff from other successful Indian restaurants.

    Couldn't fault any of the meals which we had from start to finish the food was superb. Full of flavour and delicious. A friend of ours celebrated his 60th and they sang Happy Birthday to him and brought the cake out that we had dropped in earlier as a surprise. I recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family. It is a firm favourite.

    Well worth a short wait outside after Dublin Marathon. The best curry I've ever had, so tasty. Good value for money for Dublin. Really friendly staff, nice clean restaurant and most importantly delicious food. You HAVE to eat here if you like Indian food and you're visiting Dublin.

    Food was delicious. We had Sag Paneer and Butter Chicken - both super. Fast service. Diwali is very busy and high level of background noise but the service is great and staff very good.
