I very much enjoyed my visit to Cafe Diwali. In terms of quality, the food is on a par with other decent Indian restaurants, however, the way they present it feels more authentic. I particular, I like the way many of their mains are served with a naan bread, rather than rice as standard. The menu is quite limited, but well put together, but lacks some of the classics that some people would like. They have a good selection of drinks as well.
The atmosphere is great. It was quiet when I went, but it must be even better when the place is buzzing. The staff were friendly and attentive and we didn't have to wait long for our food.
The only reason it dropped a star is the price. In my opinion it is expensive. £5 - 7 for a starter (not bad), but £17 - 19 for a main course (curry + naan), with another £4 - 5 if you want a rice. In my experience this makes it the expensive option for a curry in Salisbury. If you can swallow the cost then I would definitely recommend it.

Great Indian in Salisbury. Nice idea of the mixed plates, though I went for a marsala dosa.

This really is great food. Not a wide range of food on the menu - which is a positive as this isn’t a typical ‘curry house’
Relaxed cafe feel but I have been twice, once for a special occasion and once because we had no food in the house- and it felt appropriate both times.
Price OK, just under £20 for pj t and a curry (pp).
I recommend giving it a try.

I had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Diwali Indian restaurant yesterday, and it was an absolute delight for my taste buds. The flavors and authenticity of the dishes I tried left a lasting impression.
The Fish Curry was a standout dish. The fish was tender and perfectly cooked, and the curry sauce was a symphony of aromatic Indian spices. It struck a harmonious balance between rich and tangy, making it a memorable culinary experience.
The Gobi Manchurian was equally impressive. The cauliflower florets were crisp and coated in a flavorful sauce that struck a wonderful contrast between sweet and spicy. Each bite was a burst of delightful flavors and textures.
The restaurant's commitment to delivering authentic Indian cuisine was evident in every aspect of the meal. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and the service was attentive, adding to the overall dining experience.
Cafe Diwali has undoubtedly earned a spot on my list of favorite Indian restaurants, and I look forward to returning to explore more of their delicious offerings.
Thank you for sharing your recommendation, and I hope others have the opportunity to savor the flavors of Cafe Diwali as well!
