The Leela Gandhinagar has launched its specialty Indian restaurant, Diya, offering a mélange of authentic handpicked ingredients that represents a distinctive culinary trail from ancient to modern India created by a talented Indian Master Chef at the helm.

The cuisine at Diya embodies a mélange of authentic handpicked ingredients that represents a distinctive culinary trail from ancient to modern India created by Master Chef Mohammad Javed, also known as the master of spices, at the helm. The restaurant offers a wide variety of vegetarian options, including many delectable treats from the Northwest Frontier cuisine, to indulge in.

The private dining space in the restaurant is exclusively designed to create a myriad of mosaic patterns in the ‘thikri’ designed walls. The handcrafted silver metallic ceiling compliments the contemporary chandeliers and makes dining at Diya a magical experience.

We are confident Diya will be the new address for all food connoisseurs of the twin cities of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar to revisit their happy culinary memories,” said Jaideep Anand, Vice President and General Manager, The Leela Gandhinagar and Mahatma Mandir Convention and Exhibition Centre Complex.

“Chef Javed, who is at the helm of Diya, brings with him over a decade of cooing experience and stories from the lineage of Nizams of Hyderabad and Lucknow’s famous Tundai Kebabs and Kakori Kebabs to complete the package,” he continued.
