I had heard a lot about Chef Ritu Dalmia and wanted to visit Cafe Diva. The food is vague neither it’s authentic. The ambience is nice and service was hospitable. Inspite being no electricity they were putting best foot forward. Sorry but will skip this place

Dilapidated interiors. Great service. Pathetic food. Diva was at one time one of my favourite restaurants in the city. Authentic Italian fare done simply but well, really well. Sadly, the quality of food has gone down the drain. We ordered seared scollops for starters, they weren't available. Instead, we ordered the salmon tartar. It has no flavours except salt. Couldn't see the salmon, couldn't taste it and it sat on a soggy piece of bread. Next up was the pizza Bianca. I specifically asked for arugula to be a part of the topping. It was missing. The base wasn't thin. Wasn't thick. It wasn't crispy, was more like a sad roti done wrong. I could even taste raw flour. I asked for prosciutto on the side and was advised no, as the pizza with all the cheese is already too salty. Funny, I had to ask for extra salt as the pizza lacked seasoning. For mains, I ordered pork ribs. I must have been able to extract less than 50 grams of meat from them. Pathetic cuts of meat and completely devoid of flavour. Boiled meat, without the meat, with sauce. My partner ordered chicken roulard, which was passable and could have done by being finished with a quick sear in a pan, but then for that you need a chef. I've saved the best for the last. The tiramisu was excellent and so were the flavoured gins. Our bill for this rather sad, flavour less, soulless meal came to a princely Rs. 11,000 Not going back any time soon.

a fine italian restaurant for all the italian food fanatics! The ravioli was great, salad was refreshing but the Burrata cheese in the Caprese salad tasted a little weird than usual. The pizza was a pass. For desserts, the tiramisu was one of the BEST tiramisus i have had along with brownie (a-m-a-z-i-n-g!). The service was great. Overall a 8/10

Diva is now an over 20 year old Italian restaurant, Repeated this place after maybe 7 years or so. Remembering my previous visit and this visit, the restaurant has kept quality, presentation taste and service absolutely consistent, that's the hall mark of a quality restaurant. Very selective menu and good choice of wines. Great place to celebrate special occasions.

OG Italian powerhouse. Have always loved the food at diva. As Close to authentic Italian you can get in the city. Every time I eat here, there’s something new. Breads are superb.

Felt so let down... Had gone in with such high expectations. The 3 dishes we ordered, had mediocrity stamped all over. With an overwhelming flavour of oil. There was a cockroach running across my seat. Just saddened that Diva has come to this.

This outlet is a slice right out of a modern and chic hotel. It's like a block was taken out and placed here. As you sit here, you automatically desire a fine dine experience and personalised service. Well regarding service and presentation the place does not disappoint you at all. The menu will intrigue you and tempt you to try something new. Probably I ordered all the wrong dishes because the food looked great but tasted very average. The only thing I liked was the dessert. Bon Appetit

Went there on busy Saturday night and fell in love with their food ,jumbo prawns was really good but i did feel like thai curry could have been better . Server's and Manager are very friendly and i did give my feedback to them regarding thai curry which they offered to replace and complimentary mini brownies were awesome which happened to be gluten free as well. Over all had a great experience and will go back soon to try their salads

One of the best and authentic Italian restaurants in GK 2 M block. Nice food and service.

I have reviewed this multiple times before. It's the flagship, Italian restaurant in Delhi of the noted chef, Ritu Dalmia. She is good enough at her speciality to have restaurants in Milan as well. Having got this far, don't waste any more time in reading about food experiences, looking at photos etc. JUST MAKE A RESERVATION AND GO. If you know what to order them get on with it, starting with antipasti right down to dessert. If you don't, let the extremely knowledgeable and expert staff handle it all. Give them a free hand. Don't forget the Prosecco - and damn the cost! You're at Italian fine dining, not at a dhaba.

Really good food and selection of wine. Ambience and decor is well done but can feel little too dark during day time.. anyway nice and cozy place with good food options on their well curated menu, one can go on a date here or with friends & family

Without a doubt best Italian restaurant in Delhi. A sanctuary and retreat from the hubbub of visiting Delhi. Food first raye , very good wine list if you looking for good bottle under $80. There could be much finer at higher cost but i have a weakness for valpolicella Ripasso wines! Outstanding service, parm cheese and olives like you’re in Milano. We stayed all afternoon…..

Being in Italy for 35 years, knowing the food in and out, it was not a delicious meal. Ordered Margherita Pizza, It was too thin and it didn't taste anything like it should be. Polpette Di Pollo was regular, nothing special, the portion seemed to very less compared to what they are charging for it. Overall not really a good experience. I belive quality has gone down, not anymore what it used to be when it started. P.S Edited pictures.

Very tasty food

The Mezze platter was really good and the pizzas here are fantastic. I didn't quite like the spaghetti Aglio olio, but the staff was extremely polite and understanding so they modified that for us. The ginger Fizz was great too and overall the experience is great. The desserts are worth having as a main course!

Oh well, quiet, neat and food is great. Unless you want everything to taste how Delhi likes it, this is a worth the visit. Love the subtle ambiance, kitchen is open, which is rare. There is attention to detail and that makes it worth it

They serve Italian but overpriced as compared to taste

I love this place. The best Italian food in town. Owner is extremely sweet & cordial.Highly recommended.

Excellent experience

The server recommended a spinach and pine nuts pizza which was bleh! The dough wasn’t good either. Still giving them a chance, we ordered coffee which was again a disappointment :/ How did it get a 4.3 rating on zomato when they don’t have good pizzas is beyond me. The breads they server were almost stale. Never listen to the server and be careful of those leaves unless you really like it all iver your pizza.

Very cool spot with great variety of gin drinks. Only had appetizers and they were all pretty good.

Rude waiters

Nice

Mostly good. We enjoyed the bruschetta which was freshly made and well seasoned. The burrata was a bit of a let down, with the cheese not having the right textures and the dish being more like a blob than one with distinct components. The classic arabiatta made with the handmade tagliolini was very well done and the stracciatella made for nice garnishing. We also got the la Bufala with had some very enjoyable pesto and paired well with the toppings. Overall would recommend.

Delicious food! We tried the Bufala Pizza and it was really good. The place has a calm ambience, good for date nights and group hangouts. The service is also up to the mark. A little on the expensive side but the food is worth it !

Lovely place food service

Not that good .could have been better. They need to change the cutlery its old 😜.food and drinks are average. A bit pricy coz it looks like an average cafe not an Italian cafe. Decor needs a little change . Seating needs improvement.To tell you the truth i am not happy.

I have been here many times and will continue to go. I am a loyal Ritu Dalmia customer and shall go to Diva anywhere on this planet earth. I hope you open outlets in all the capitals of the world and amaze your visitors with your awesome food..

Diva by Chef Ritu Dalmia is a fine dine restaurants amongst the manu other restaurants that line the GK2 M block market. With the exception of Artus and Amalfii, this is possibly the only other Italian restaurants where dishes are not only a treat to the palette but to the eyes as well. We had a number of items of the menu and each one perfect. Their bartender makes the most amazing cocktails!

The food was delicious, especially the salads. The chocolate cake souffle was divine. The staff was very attentive, the location excellent, and the ambiance was great for parties with lots of natural light.

Very average meal. Diva was a total let down. I had last been to the restaurant pre covid. The meal today was lack lustre and the ambience is very dull . Salad was a bunch of greens with miniscule sprinkling of goat cheese and mashed water melon and not good salad dressing. Pasta had negligible chicken. Sun dried tomato was tough. Cold cuts in anti pasti was stale. Very poor presentation. Disappointing!

Diva – The Italian Restaurant in New Delhi is a must-visit for all Italian food lovers! The menu is extensive and offers a wide variety of classic Italian dishes, from pasta and risotto to pizza and meat dishes, all prepared with the freshest ingredients. The pasta dishes, in particular, are cooked to perfection and have a great balance of flavors. The sitting area is comfortable and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner or a casual meal with friends. The decor is elegant and adds to the overall dining experience. The service is top-notch and the staff is friendly and attentive. Overall, a great dining experience and I highly recommend it!❤️❤️🔥🔥

Comfortable seating chairs and couch, tables well decorated with the finest Italian crockery will elate your mood. The food served especially the pizzas requires no mention. Delicious, fresh and aromatic. The warmth of hospitality is amazing. Servers are too polite to win your heart. The colossal ambience will surely make you feel like dating your sweetheart.

Amazing place to grab a glimpse of italy. The panini and pizza are a myst try! Entry to students of italian cultural centre and their guests only.

The best Italian Restaurant that I have got in and a great taste .. had a birthday party with friends here and enjoyed a lot. Thank you for wonderful experience that I have had here and friends also praised me for finding such a wonderful restaurant with great taste.

One of the Most pleasant restaurants I have visited. Lovely food and lovely staff in a very friendly decent manner. Then coming to food most delicious food ever I had.

I go to Diva's at the Italian Cultural Centre every week and I have tried the new menu more than once. Last week I had Handmade Tagliolini with Marigold Cherry Tomatoes and Burrata. Simply delicious! I then had Apricot and Ricotta Cheesecake (a couple of weeks before when I first ordered it, after they started the new menu, they had no Apricot Creme!) This time it was super delicious! An Espresso Coffee to end the meal and a very positive experience. However, if you scan their QR Code you will still find the new menu which still has Risotto with pears, Taleggio Parmesan & Roasted Walnuts... The pears were hard because unripe and there were no roasted walnuts. I had it all out of politeness which I shouldn't have done. Then I told the waiter. They later said they would discontinue this dish, and they have, since it is no more on the updated hard copy menu. But it still is on the QR Code menu though, al least it was until last Thursday... And if you surf the internet you will find no new or updated menu. I love Diva's but sometimes they could do better.

Diva's menu is 'Italian', but with lots of fusion and many creative flourishes, so don't expect authenticity. We were here for lunch with family and friends, and ordered three starters to share: roasted Brie with rocket; mushroom, honey and goat's cheese bruschetta, and suppli. I had a John Dory with an olive crust and vegetable 'noodles' as a main course, and had a taste of my daughter's pork belly with carrot purée and green beans. All were delicious, though just a little too heavy in the butter. So heavy, in fact, that none of us had space for dessert and made do with coffee. Excellent food and very good service, definitely a place to frequent.

awesome food

amazing food but staff was not interactive.

Over priced. Food served cold. Not value for money for sure for a pasta dish to cost so much. Not worth it

Bad service, average food

Spiced Diva had wonderful ambience, food was amazing. It was so fresh and the flavours were subtle and sooo good. The mocktails were also very fruity and not too sweet. Overall loved the experience

Good

For testy food and amousing service

Nice coffee

Nice coffee

Not large hearted.

Good food, compact cozy place !

This is the good Italian family restaurant. Food is very nice. Nearly to depot 48

Nice and high quality restaurant. every dishes are good, and environment is quiet and comfortable.

One of my favourite restaurants... love going there. though a bit expensive but worth it.. the quality, experiments as well as the portion sizes are good. Though i love all that i have eaten there till now but my all time favourite is Bailey's Mousse Cake. A visit to Cafe Diva is never complete without it.

The preparation and presentation was top notch. Even the service was excellent. Have been visiting this place for the last 10 years never been disappointed.

The pesto pizza was amazing. The desserts were really good specially the tiramisu. I'm disappointed with the pasta to be honest, ordered a chicken spaghetti aglio olio and didn't particularly enjoy it. It was a lump of flour that was difficult to swallow even. Have reserved one star for that, rest everything was really good. Really impressed with all 3 desserts, toffee cake, almond cake and tiramisu. If you found this review helpful, like the post.

Amazing food, always. Can't wait to get back for the dine-in experience.

Have been coming year since a while now. Always happy to get good Italian food. Hands down its one of the best Italian restaurants in G.K. I had ordered : 1) Phyllo Parcels with four kind cheese and jalepeno - Absolutely delicious and different from standard garlic bread. 2) Pugliese- Classic Margherita with a topping of burrata and a drizzle of Pesto - Crunchy, thin and delicious. Loved the taste of it. Well cooked. 3)Quattro Formaggio Spaghetti - Not too cheesy not too salty, absolutely perfect. The decor is cozy.

the Porcini Mushroom Pasta is super delicious, will come back for it. The first floor restaurant provide wonderful window view seat that brings full of green to your eyes, and you will feel so much refreshing and relief from everyday hard work.

New York cheese cake with strawberry compote

Excellent Italian food with authentic flavours. The place is famous among people having genuine interest in Italy and it's food. Must experience the real flavour for a change...

By far the best Italian restaurant I have encountered in Delhi... The food is exceptional and the service is good.... The setting is very comfortable and the staff makes you feel welcome.... The only quable is have with the place is the damn Tiramisu is so good I would have to go all the way back to eat it... Damn calories..

Very nice

Fantastic. Very courteous and buzzing place.

Great ambience and good food...a very unique menu

(Translated by Google) Entered the restaurant around 13:40 for lunch with friends. It will be guided to the upper floor in two stories. The view from the seat at the window looks pretty good with the greenery of the park. There is a large amount of wine in the glass-walled wine cellar, and it seems that it is putting effort. Ask for pizza, one main dish, and pasta for about 3000rp. Reasonable amount and not bad seasoning, but I want to come again! I did not reach that level. Is it affiliated with Duva cafe of the same name? I thought it was because it was a Restaurant, so I was expecting a higher quality but it was a bit disappointing. The quality of the cafe is definitely better. In Google Maps, the location of the pin is misaligned and it appears that there is an entrance on the back road side, but it actually faces the street side (park side). (Original) 友人と祝日のランチで13:40頃入店。二階建てで上のフロアに案内される。窓際の席からの眺めは公園の緑が良く見えてなかなか良い感じ。ガラス張りのワインセラーには大量のワインがあり、力を入れている様子。ピザとメイン1品、パスタを頼んで3000rpほど。程よい分量で味付けも悪くないんだけど、また来たい！という程のレベルには到達せず。同名のDuva cafeのと系列なのだろうか？と思っていたのでこちらはRestaurantとあるのでよりハイクオリティを期待したもののやや残念。cafeの方がクオリティは断然上。Googleマップではピンの位置がズレていて裏道側に入り口があるように表示されますが、実際は表通り側(公園側)に面しています。

Good food a bit expensive

Average food experience!!!!!! I ordered pasta but their was no veggies & taste was not good at all. One green peas soup also average. Ordered 2 drinks as well but 75% Ice only. Qty was very less as compared to price. Not recommend to anyone.

Best soups, beautiful evenings!!

The food and atmosphere are both top notch. If you're looking for some good Italian food in a cosy atmosphere, look no further. Although a little pricey, the food quality is worth the money.

Superb Italian!! I loved my whole experience

Brilliant restaurant. Very different flavours from the usual spicy taste of Delhi/India restaurants. My Calcutta curry had a very tastefully done, mild coconut milk flavour and a very good presentation of the dish. The atmosphere was calm, the decor very tastefully done and the staff very polite and knowledgeable. The restaurant made such a welcome and soothing change from the usual fare of food. Very highly recommended.

If you are vegetarian this place is not for you. I had been incidentally there and ended up having Pasta (with tulsi & garlic?), it was solely my mistake I asked for veg food & I was served one. Latter came to know they are serving non-veg food too. In evening I had bath with Gangajal for the mistake, eating Tulsi & Garlic together, I hope god has forgiven me & will save me for any side effects of eating Tulsi & Garlic together!

THE BEST ITALIAN IN INDIA. They serve 5-star hotel food at half the price. All the food you've only heard of in cooking shows but never eaten it? Well they have all that like gnocchi, ravioli, tartare, tuile, candied lemon, the list is endless. The food was so delicious that we just couldn't stop eating! The service and decor is amazing as well. Food comes in piping hot and it doesn't take too long to come either. It's easy to locate as well in the gk m-block market, there's a big glowing sign right outside. I suggest try the John Dory, it's the best fish with the best sauce ever. In conclusion, I loved the place and would absolutely go again. The hype about it is true.

Diva café in GK2 was one of the best Italian I have had, so when I got to know that the celebrity Chef Ritu Dalmia was planning to reopen Diva Spiced, serving modern Asian cuisine, I could not hold myself for long and went to the place after it launched for a nice quite dinner with a dear friend. Ritu Dalmia has pioneered the concept of eating like a 'Diva' here in Delhi. And she really has a lot of followers and admirers who always throng her restaurants to taste the delectable food and new cuisines on offer. She has a great collection of restaurants and brands right from Milan to Goa and Delhi which provide the unique experiences that she herself brings visiting homes across the world to get the best of ingredients and learn something new all the time. It was a rainy day with monsoon season in full swing. My friend was talking about Ritu being a favourite since she used to host Traveling Diva and Italian food shows on NDTV Good Times. So ,he also was really looking forward to try out this new place. The cuisine was modern Asian which had something for everybody. Being a rainy day, we wanted to have something hot, the server recommended kadhi samosa which was listed in the small plates section of the menu as chef’s recommendations. It was the perfect crisp samosa dunked in a bowl of hot and soothing kadhi. It was really a highlight for me, with a homely feel. The ingredients used is what made it more delectable. The Prawns and Kasundi dimsums were Bengali style inside a dimsum wrapper which gave it a regional favour of the east. Then we had the crispy duck, with caramelised hazelnut and chilli orange dressing. The dish was just wholesome with the right taste and fresh ingredients easily adding to the flavour. Barbeque spare ribs with spiced honey glaze was the best dish we had in main course along with the chilli camarel fish with peanut nemjim and seasonal greens. I would highly recommend the Malayali prawns and mango curry along with the indo Burmese favourite Khao suey.

It was an amazing experience, and I enjoyed their services.

Overpriced,and the food was not justifying its price... portions are small

Tasty spicy food is here Clean and beautiful ambiance Seats are available here Calm place to stay calm My rating is 5 star according to the ambiance Come here if you like my review
