WASHINGTON -- Looking to chow down on some Indian fare? A new restaurant with a full bar has you covered. Located at 218 N. Lee St., Floor 2, in Old Town Alexandria, the newcomer is called Diya Indian Cuisine.
Just two blocks off the waterfront, you'll find a menu that touches on many of the key components of Indian cuisine. There are tandoori oven specialties like kebabs and lamb boti (boneless chunks of marinated lamb) along with chicken biryani and veggie korma. Other noteworthy dishes include the goat vindaloo and the lobster curry.
Want to sample several items at once? An all-you-can-eat lunch buffet is also on offer.
With a five-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp so far, Diya Indian Cuisine is on its way to developing a local fan base.
Adrienne S. wrote, "The rice was fresh on the buffet as well as the other dishes and they brought fresh naan to the table. All the food was excellent. The restaurant itself is a little difficult to find — it is located upstairs next to Myron Mixon, but it is beautifully decorated, the seating is comfortable, and overall cozy."
Yelper Quinn P. added, “The food was amazing. The presentation was simple but lovely. The service was friendly. Go in for a visit — you won't be disappointed.”
