I'm not a believer but can I tag along for the food?

I think the proprietors of my favorite (and now our only) Indian
Restaurant are Muslim and so wouldn't celebrate Diwali. Would it be
rude to ask? Even Orthodox Jews usually acknowledge Christmas to
their Gentile friends . . . unless they're Hasids and they don't SPEAK
to anybody who's not a Hasid - usually the same kind of Hasid they
are!

They might tut-tut you. If you can handle it, then go ahead :-)

We aren't believers, but hey a holiday is a holiday Still have the
tiny clay pots in which to burn Diwali candles, bought in London.
Painted in bright colours, trimmed with metallic braid, sequins, 'gems'
etc.

I'm sure you can, John. Two years ago we made reservations at
our favorite Indian restaurant. The owner said "We're pretty
full, but I can fit your party in."

We had no idea it was Diwali but had a great meal with lots of
extras, and it was evident all the Indian families in attendance
were in a festive mood. It was a nice experience.
