I have been dining here on and off since 1984! I absolutely love the dosa! Especially deluxe dosa! Nice ambience too. Bring your own beer / wine (shop next door)!

I love this place, best food ever... I been 4 times already at this place and bring all my friends here.
After a long tiring day roaming around, site seeing and shopping, we were starving so our friend took us here. As we entered, we were greeted by 90s Bollywood music of shah rukh khan and other actors which felt really warm and welcoming. It dint matter that it was crowded but the staff gave us the table pretty quick.
We ordered pretty normal food for Indians and it tasted delicious. Even the ordinary rice and sambhar curry tasted delicious. It was too good, perfect taste and perfect blend with all the spices.
For masala dosa, the chatni was a perfect match made of coconut.
We dint order any dessert as we were very full by the time we finished our meal.
It was an amazing end to a perfect day.
I went to Diwana Bhel Poori House with my colleagues for a lunch. I was amazed to enter into this outlet.
I loved the butter chicken, chilli chicken, bhel poori and sev poori.
I would recommend you guys to go and check out this outlet.
Excellent food, excellent service! This restaurant deserve to be the first in Hounslow! I order the chicken tikka, lentils and rice. The Dessert was great (jamun, must have) Cannot recommend it enough
Diwana Bhel Poori House is a 100% vegetarian restaurant in Euston specialising in North Indian street foods and South Indian breakfasts. They are also famous for their VFM buffet lunch and Gujrati thalis. Whilst their bhels are good, their dosas are better. Service can be a little inconsistent but gets the job done. Worth a visit.
Waste NOT, Want NOT.
My first visit to Diwana would have been in year 2000 or 2001. The place hasn't changed a bit nor has the price of their buffet lunch. The place always seems busy when they are doing this buffet lunch. Quality of the food hasn't changed much and I really love the salads that they serve as part of the buffet. The staff is not really very friendly and they do need some training in customer service.

I took some of my international course mates here to try out some Indian food! The restaurant is set like a typical old style Bombay cafe!
The buffet at 6.95 is an excellent deal and an easy way to show other people what different types of food are available in India!
I am personally fond of their dahi poori! Gulab jamun and rasmalai were good to try as well.
I would definitely go back!!
However, my second visit here was not very friendly as they had set times to serve their chat section, and its not available between 12-3 unless you chose to have the buffet (but the name is Diwana Bhel Poori house so that chaat should be available at all times).We argued with the staff to let us eat some chaat only, which they reluctantly agreed but our waiter was quite cold and did not serve us really well - we had to ask for the bill thrice! Thats honestly a huge let down as I was so excited when I first found this place thinking I could go there anytime, but now have to pay heed to either go for the lunch buffet or after 3 for a quick bite of some yummy chaat.
Indian Street Food. We came out of Euston station looking for Indian food and found that the Diwana Bhel Poori House was literally around the corner. The restaurant don't take bookings and the decor is very basic but it's all you need.
Southern Indian food absolutely packed with flavour. Their coconut chutney was a revelation! Personally I'm not a massive spice head but I still managed to find things that I liked. I had the rave onion dosa (a crispy pancake type thing with different toppings)
Will be visiting again. Good food that was very reasonably priced (it came to just over £33 and me and my partner both ate like kings).
Yummy Chats, special lunch buffet my all time favourite.
Simply the best!. As a die hard meat eater I find it very hard to survive a trip to an all veggie restaurant... However, this little gem (which I have been visiting for 20-years!) delivers fantastic authentic Southern Indian Cuisine packed with flavour - & very reasonbably priced. If you have not tasted the bhel pouri (puffed rice, 'magic' herbs, potato etc) you simply have not lived. Warning - addictive! Also try a foluda drink, works well to calm the spice burn... Atmostphere is great, basic restaurant & BYO so great value & fun.
Where else in London (or England) can you eat genuinely classy food for around £12? This café does not take bookings and has fairly basic decor (no tablecloths) but the service is efficient and you can buy alcohol from the shop two doors down (Diwana's is
Amazing food served in a relaxed, unpretentious setting. Try their delicious selection of dosas or their legendary curry of the day. Authentic, efficient and reasonably priced. A Drummond Street institution.
I have been coming here for forty years. The food is lovely and the staff great. No longer eat there as often as I would like.
Dosas are always delicious but it's the buffet I go for when I can. Never had a bad meal. Reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommend.
Delicious Dosas on Drummond Street
Great tasting South Indian dosas - perfect for a quick meal before catching the train from Euston. It’s worth making the effort to get past the HS2 works along the pedestrian route to Drummond Street. Authentic food (vegetarian) made by friendly people at a reasonable price. We will be back again next time we take the train home from Euston.
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!
The food was very authentic and very good, literally amazing! I will definitely go and eat there again. The service could definitely do better, maybe with a smile on their face too?😃
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.
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.
Visited because I heard how great the samosas were. I was not disappointed. It was reassuringly busy, this was a Monday night so I will probably reserve a table next time to make sure I don't miss out. I went for a Thali which was fantastic. The matar paneer was a definite highlight...
One of the best south Indian restaurants In London. Great food, in a typical Indian atmosphere, with reasonable prices & a great selection. The lunch buffet is amazing for choice & value for money.
Vegetarian food only, and no alcohol served, but you can bring your own beer & wine, with no corkage charge.
We had an amazing dinner experience at this restaurant. We ordered 2 Thali’s. Food was like homemade and tasty. Staff was also very polite.
