"We recently had the pleasure of dining at Diwali on George Street, and it was truly a wonderful experience. Our group of five was promptly seated, and from the moment we sat down, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with beautiful décor that sets the perfect tone for an evening of delicious Indian cuisine. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our meal. The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and each of us found something to love. From the starters to the mains, every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The spices were well-balanced, and the portions were generous, leaving us fully satisfied by the end of our meal. The butter chicken, in particular, was a standout dish, rich and creamy, and the naan bread was some of the best we've had. Service was impeccable, with our server being both knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to our needs without being intrusive. The pacing of the meal was just right, allowing us to enjoy each course without feeling rushed. Overall, our experience at Diwali was nothing short of excellent. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or looking to try something new, I highly recommend this restaurant. We left with happy hearts and full bellies, and we’ll definitely be returning for another great meal."

"just now NEW Called in today after a ceremony at a local church- I recommended The Tolka House to the group as we eat there at least once a week as a family. It was a little after 12 and practically empty. We intended to mark the occasion with tea/coffee-a celebration cake and then have some lunch as a group of 7. We had previously been advised that reservations cannot be taken on a Sunday-which was fair enough. We opened a tab and ordered drinks. One of our party had to leave early so we asked for some plates to cut our cake. We were told permission would have to be sought first…a few moments later we were approached in a very indiscreet manner to advise “as he would put it-you wouldn’t bring a pizza to a restaurant to eat it”. We were all stunned at the manner of delivery and lack of discretion involved, especially as there was a young child involved. Had we been asked to pay a cost towards plates etc. we’d have been more than happy to do so. So with a tearful 8 year old who had just been baptised-we paid our tab and left. The irony was not lost on us that we personally witnessed many tables in this establishment very recently commandeered by numerous confirmation parties-all of whom had boxed cakes and balloons on the tables….why no consistency in their policy? Not a single person present in our party today will ever spend another penny in The Tolka House-and we are all locals and business owners ourselves. Very shortsighted indeed."
