...came upon Diva, the Indian Bistro. Diva—the name conjures up images of a sexy siren. We wondered if the restaurant would resemble her name: sassy and high-profile with too much attitude and too little substance. She was certainly attractive, bejeweled in regal hues of deep orange, red and purple.
