Diya Bistro

We had an extended layover at IAD and got lucky and found this place for lunch. Just a few caveats - I believe this place is only open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It is primarily a catering oriented place (all days of the week) that is open for the weekend. The dine in menu is limited due to this, while I believe the catering menu is extensive. This is true as of August 2025 and could possibly change so please check. Having said that upfront the food ordered was excellent quality. I am usually not a big fan on Indian restaurants as they get the masala too much or too little and use standardized bases. But I was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed the food here. The chole batura was exceedingly well made with the chole tasting really great. The malai chicken tikka was just too yu

My friend took me to Diya Bistro located in Ashburn for lunch. Once I entered I was greeted by smiling faces. I am a true foodie and I can say with certainty that service after COVID has declined dramatically in many restaurants. I felt welcomed at Diya's and the service was impeccable. Now for the food....what can I say other than my tummy was happy! I ordered the Sarson Ka Saag, Chole Bhature, and Papri Chaat. Let me start with the Sarson Ka Saag garnished with fresh ginger that was creamy, saucy, and simply addictive. I even took one order home and my mom, who is the pickiest Indian lady, loved it! The chole had the right amount of spices and the consistency of the curry was perfect! The bhature was made bite size so it stayed fresh, soft, and fluffy which is quite different

One of the best lunches I’ve had in a long time. Chicken kadhai was spicy & awesome- all the food was amazing. I only wish they were open every day of the week. Definitely recommend this place to everybody!

Withoutna doubt one of the best dining experience s I've had in a long time. Very friendly staff that gives you the mom.and pop feel of a restaurant catering to their community. The food was very good and the price was right on point. I will be making this my new Indian spot for a long time to come. I highly recommend splitting appetizers. The garlic naan was very good.

Had a last min reservation and very close to the closing time but they accommodated us and served amazing dishes! Special shout out to Ashish for being an outstanding host and going above and beyond in making sure our experience was smooth! I would recommend the Kachori chat and Lamb korma!
