Lonely Planet review for Diwana Bhel Poori House

The first of its kind and arguably the best on this busy street, Diwana specialises in Bombay-style bhel poori (a sweet-and-sour, soft and crunchy ‘party mix’ snack) and dosas (filled pancakes made from rice flour). Thalis offering a selection of tasty treats are £6.75 to £8.50 and the all-you-can-eat lunchtime buffet (£6.95) is legendary.

    lunch in London

    peternoble recommends this,

    Now here is a plan. Arrive at Euston or Kings Cross, wander down the road and find Diwana for lunch and you are set up for the rest of the day. It is unpretentious despite its first and best rating and the range of food is stunning. You don't even have to be knowledgable about Indian food, it is all tasty. Then, just when you think you have tried everything find, at the left end of the table the deserts and start again. The staff are friendly relaxed and helpful if you need to ask questions but you wont as long as you have an appetite.
    Oh, the rest of the plan. Back up to the main road to the Wellcome museum (free).
