First visit and will definitely return. Tasty food. Excellent service. Naan bread freshly made in sight of diners. Top marks on food and service. Atmosphere good for a cold, damp Thursday evening in March. The pistachio baklava is recommended.

We had a wonderful family meal at Diba, Epsom today on bank holiday Monday. The food was absolutely exceptional and really exceeded our expectation. Starters wonderful, with fresh naan bread. The kebabs delicious with perfectly cooked aromatic rice. They even had zoolbia and bamiah for dessert (which a lot of Persian restaurants don’t have). Finally I want to mention how wonderful the waiters were, and the Phd student/waiter who showed us true Persian hospitality. The music/ playlist was also brilliant, my father-in-law particularly appreciated the old Persian classics. This is now by far our favourite Persian restaurant around! Thank you

We were fitted in without a reservation and had a wonderful time. The restaurant was packed with a great atmosphere. The food was lovely. The mixed platter for 2 was superb and plenty to take home too. We will definitely be back thank you.

Absolutely delightful restaurant. Service by Anna was very professional, friendly, and accommodating. The food was nothing less than delicious and very tasty. Every single one of the dishes we had, it was a flavour explosion in our mouth, even the Jalapeno chilli that assortedly was added to my grill plate . It kept me warm all night . It is one of the best options in Epsom so far. Highly recommend.
