    Our meal was delightful on every level. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the food and beverages utterly delicious (and abundant!), and Heather was as fun and entertaining as always. So glad we chose Curry Diva for our family celebration.

    It's a pop up in a bakery. The night we went was very hot and the Air Conditioning seemed to be turned off partway and we both became quite ill. The vegetarian meal was better than the meats, which felt stringy and overcooked. The kitchen was stressed as they had lost their dishwasher and we spent a very long time waiting for our food, which was lacklustre at best. The Chai was overly rose-scented and was served cold but not intentionally. They try hard to please and people where very kind and we liked them very much but the overall experience was pretty awful and stressful...there was a rather loud and large table of "Cool kids" nearby who clearly wanted everyone in the small hot cafe to hear the details of their lives. It was so boring and pretty sad. They seemed to be regulars. There should have been music in the background, at least. The AC was not strong to begin with and as the service wound down it was so hot, we both felt as though we had heart stroke. I would suggest the take-out option except the food was not that good...it was just okay. Certainly not worth driving anywhere for.

    I went there with a group of 11 people. I loved everything about it -- the food, the kindness, the generosity, the style (we got to try and share everything based on our dietary restrictions). I'm Sri Lankan and can vouch for how authentic and just plain delightful all of the food is.

    Wonderful experience eating great food in a pop-up scenario. The Curry Diva offers a dining scenario unlike anything else. On our most recent visit, our family-style meal consisted of ten different dishes--push roti and accompaniments. We were waited on by a young man who was knowledgeable about the cuisine and extremely friendly. Be sure to order a chai tea latte to sip on while you wait for your food!
