Diya Royal in Bedford

Second time we’ve eaten here. In 41 years of trying in Bedford we’ve never found a ‘excellent’ Indian restaurant, found good but not excellent. The service is second to none, presentation great, and food was absolutely amazing. Full of taste, different to what usual restaurants serve due to being Nepalese, not dry, but cannot explain how nice it is. Definitely try this restaurant you won’t be disappointed. I was dubious as it’s inside a pub that used to be ‘rough’ but was very taken aback to the experience and how enjoyable it was.

Excellent. Lovely ambience, wonderful food, great service. Thoroughly recommend.

The food was amazing, would highly recommend if you're looking for something a little different to the usual curries you're used to. This is good quality Nepalese food...delicious. Will definitely be back.

Lovely service, very friendly, accomadating staff.Food was delicious, will definitely come back!Have had a takeaway from here before and that was just as good as eating in.

Well cooked,tasty food. Friendly, attentive staff, who did well on New year's Eve a busy night. Owners very polite, friendly & welcoming. Pleasant ambiance. A variety of dishes. Enjoyed sweet/sour chicken. Thoroughly enjoyable evening.

It's my first time ordering food from here. I'm so happy that I have finally found a good restaurant in Bedford/Kempston. The food was fresh and delicious. Polite and friendly staff. I can not wait till I can dine at the restaurant.

I had never dined at Diya Royal before but had always wanted to give it a try after reading alot of positive reviews about the overall dining experience offered. When my friend suggested booking a table I jumped at the chance. Some people think Diya Royal is mainly Indian cuisine, this is not true, Diya Royal is Nepalese cuisine which is influenced by Tibetan, Indian, Chinese and other parts of Asia. We had a table booked for 8.30 and on our arrival we were given a warm and friendly welcome from all the staff and were seated promptly even though we were 10 minutes early. The restaurant was very busy and had a healthy, vibrant atmosphere which is always a good sign. We both ordered a starter, my friend ordered theNepalese style sweet and sour chilli chicken with peppers, the balance of chilli, sweet and sour flavours was perfect, which in my opinion was excellent and I highly recommend you try. I ordered the Fish Sunkoshi which was freshly marinated deep-fried crispy tilapia served with green chutney. The fish was cooked perfectly and the dish as a whole was full of flavour and tasted delicious, the green chutney really lifted the dish and gave it a  freshness. For our main course we ordered the Nepalese special fried rice between us and the Piro lamb, which was Spicy Nepalese lamb tikka curry with fresh green chili, garlic coriander and mixed peppers. I ordered the Saag Jhinga, which was a freshly prepared tiger prawn curry with fresh baby spinach leaves – Gurkha style. This was accompanied with Paratha's, which I can only describe as a cross between puff pasty and a flatbread. I would have been happy just to have three or four Paratha's just to dunk into my curry sauce!!!! An amazing culinary experience with a great variety of Nepalese cuisine to choose from at a reasonable price. I will definitely be back for seconds.....and you should be too!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful meal tonight. Here’s a little photo of the veggie mixed starter. Big portions, reasonable prices, super friendly and attentive staff and a really great selection across the menu too.

I love this restaurant, they serve very good food the waiters always help in choosing a dish. The desserts are delicious. I recommend this restaurant to everyone

Amazing!!! Not sure what else I can say.. the food was divine and the staff and service were second to none!! Such friendly people and the knowledge was awesome. The fish chilli starter was probably one of the best starters I've ever had!!!! I cant say thank u enough
