Diwali Indian Cuisine is an Indian and Nepalese restaurant at 79 Saintfield Road in Belfast. Its broad evening menu balances familiar curry house favourites with Nepalese dishes, clay oven cooking and house specialities, giving diners plenty of scope to build either a quick meal or a longer shared dinner.
The starter selection moves from samosas, pakora and onion bhaji to chicken or lamb tikka, seekh kebab, prawns and momo dumplings. Tandoori chicken, shashlik and mixed grills are cooked at high heat, while Nepalese choices introduce distinctive spice combinations alongside the restaurant’s more familiar Indian dishes.
Classic sauces such as roghan, bhuna, Madras, butter chicken and jalfrezi sit beside biryani and chef specialities. Rice, naan and other breads make it easy to round out the meal, and the menu includes vegetable curries and sides for diners who want a meat free combination.
Set meals provide a practical way for couples or larger groups to sample starters, mains, rice and bread together. Recipes and ingredients can change, so guests with allergies or dietary requirements should discuss the current menu and kitchen procedures with staff before ordering.
Address: 79 Saintfield Road, Belfast BT8 7HN, Northern Ireland
