   Limited Valentine's day menu (prefixe) but the Lamb shank was great . Friendly staff and accommodated food allergies. Nice setting ... likely even nicer in the summer with greenery likely growing outside windows. Nice ambiance and simple relevant decor. Hope to return in the summer

   Very very disappointed with the food to be honest , premium prices but the food looked not fresh at all . Beef samosas tasted like the came out of a frozen box of samosas , not cooked there , same thing with the rest of the food it tasted like pre-cooked food somewhere and being served at the restaurant . I would better recommend a fast food with middle eastern flavour than this restaurant . Total rip off and not worth the price at all . I alway wanted to dine this place , but never try it again even if it was for free

   We had the pleasure of dining at Diwan for their Winterlicious menu, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the elegant interior, which perfectly balances modern design with warm, inviting touches. The service was attentive and professional, making the evening even more enjoyable. But the real star of the night was the food. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, and the portions were surprisingly generous—a rare find in prix fixe menus. The chefs at Diwan have truly mastered the art of bold, balanced flavors, and each course was a delightful journey of taste. If you’re considering trying Winterlicious at Diwan, I highly recommend it. The combination of excellent food, great service, and a beautiful setting makes for a memorable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

   Underwhelming Winterlicious experience at Diwan. Nothing tasted bad, just ordinary/mediocre. Expected more from a McEwan Group restaurant. Coconut shrimp was exactly what you'd get at a cheaper restaurant, including sweet dip. Salmon with broccolini and mini potato is something I could easily make at home myself (and, dare I say, better). Panna cotta was essentially the consistency and flavour of plain yogourt. Overall a big yawn and very uninteresting/uninspired meal for $300. Wait staff started loudly cleaning tables for restaurant shutdown at 8pm, while there were at least 6 groups of patrons still eating. Supremely tacky. Lastly, although I'd indicated on the reservation that our group was celebrating a special occasion, it wasn't acknowledged in any way. Disappointing.

    Had a lovely lunch. Service was excellent and the staff was very attentive and pleasant. The fresh juices and cocktails were nice and the food was very tasty. Would recommend to most.
