Diva Lounge

The Scene
Diva's bold colors, prominent bar and use of curves and corners could make you imagine you've entered a post-modern cocktail shaker backed by a performance-art kitchen. Diva is winning a strong following for good, authentic Indian cuisine.

The Food
The menu is endless, with lots of southern Indian dishes (lentil dumplings, stuffed crepes called dosas) to augment the clay-oven roasted meats of the north. Fried dishes are light and crispy, while sauced dishes are redolent of spice and the roasted meats are usually succulent and delicious. Diva's sleek bar goes to waste, however, backed by non-alcoholic wines and beers and used as a serving station for the ice-cream desserts. Eschew the thin spirits in favor of mineral water or soda with main dishes of mild or medium spice.
