Sep 03, 2026"Somehow I once lived practically next door to Diwana and only discovered it properly years later. The dahi vada was cool, tangy and beautifully balanced, and the chana bhatura was generous, crisp and deeply savoury. Friendly service, excellent value and a proper Drummond Street institution."

The place is popular as it filled up before 6pm on a bank holiday Monday. I had a dosa which had a good texture and great flavour - a bit of heat but nothibg extreme. The restaurant doesn't serve alcohol but this can be brought in from the small shop nextdoor."

Aug 01, 2026"I’ve been going to Diwana Bhel Poori House for many years especially when I have a train to catch from London Euston and I’m after a quick but wholesome meal. Recently I went with a guest who does not eat any Onions/Garlic. Before sitting down we asked the staff if they had any options without Onion/Garlic. One of the team; Moni kindly explained what was possible and listed items from the menu. We decided to get a table and ordered. Moni later came back and explained further items that they could serve us without onion/garlic. She was so friendly and welcoming. We didn’t feel judged or burdensome. The meal was lovely and service was impeccable, special thanks to Moni for making us feel so welcomed and so at home. Her kindness definitely exceeded our expectations and we will most definitely return! Highly recommended vegetarian food in central London. It’s a fuss free, homely place with quick service and good food."
