My partner and I came here because a friend who went to uni nearby recommended it as a good, cheap eat! While not impressed with the service or atmosphere, the food was indeed really good. They had fantastic Mattar Paneer and the other dishes we tried with which we were less familiar had distinct flavors new to me after years... More

I have been visiting the Diwana Bhel Poori house in Drummond Street (just round the corner from Euston station) since I first moved to London in 1988. I'm not vegetarian but the food here is divine and I don't miss the lack of meat and fish on the menu. It's a great place to meet up with friends, especially if... More

A favourite right next to Euston station. We have visited here many times both for lunch and evening meal and have never been disappointed with the food. I challenge any carnivore to visit during the famous self-service lunch time buffet and tell me they miss meat! Not possible. The range of veggie delights on offer is absolutely excellent and there... More

£6.95 for all-you-can-eat buffet with huge array of hot and cold dishes and desserts. Fabulous veggie food in no-frills surroundings. The staff were extremely welcoming, and brought tap water immediately with no fuss. They obviously rely on a pretty quick turnover of tables, so don't expect to linger longer than an hour. Highly recommended.

The senses are overwhelmed at Diwana. The buffet is a feast to behold. The salads are ablaze with flavour and the hots are a cracking explosion of complimentary textures. I did use the WC beforehand and I found the gents to be perfectly serviceable and clean.

Just round the corner from Euston Station their lunch buffet is great value at £6.95, without service. I have eaten here many times over the years and never once been... More

We were recommended this place by a veggie friend. Great position just by Euston Station so if you have a bit of time before your train , ignore the foodcourt with its Cornish pasties and overpriced coffee and spend all of £6.95 on some of the best Indian veggie food anywhere in London. Fresh fruit smoothies are a speciality too.... More

Fantastic food & friendly service. The surroundings could do with a spruce up but the faded edges didn't spoil the meal for me

This is a small vegetarian indian cafe, very convenient for Euston Station and situated on Drummond Street which has a host of similar restaurants. The food is excellent with a good selection at the lunchtime buffet - which costs just £6.95. The restaurant is not licensed. One criticism is that when paying in cash the waiter took it upon himself... More
