Indian cuisine may not seem glamorous, but it is at Diwan—one of the city’s most acclaimed Indian restaurants, serving amazing, upscale dishes in a swanky setting smack dab in the center of Midtown. With original Indian artwork and plush, deep brown leather upholstered seats, Diwan's décor represents fine dining from northern India. The lunchtime hour finds Diwan packed with businesspeople leaning in over tables to seal deals, while dinner is more relaxed and intimate, with an extensive menu of Bombay-inspired dishes that will satisfy your strongest craving for great Indian cuisine. The menu offers a diverse selection of lamb, shrimp, and vegetable dishes, along with breads baked in a special Indian clay oven. The restaurant also features a popular 20-course all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, which is offered daily.
