Taking to Instagram, Dan shared several shots and clips of the Strictly crew back together and dining on some Indian staples as well as a curry named after Dan.
In one shot, Nadiya looked radiant as she beamed from ear to ear with her dance partner while holding a cake that had "Thank you for everything Dan Walker & Nadiya B" written across it in chocolate.
While two other photos, Dan posed with his Strictly co-stars including Tilly Ramsay, Kai Widdrington, Janette Manrara, Craig Revel Horwood, Katya Jones, Nancy Xu Rhys Stephenson and Nikita Kuzmin in the restaurant.
Captioning the snap, the broadcaster wrote: "What a lovely treat to take some of the #Strictly family out for a curry with my family.
"We had a great night at @prithiraj_restaurant - where we took @nadiyabychkova during the series
"Thanks to Sobuj and his team for being so kind and making the most amazing food for everyone," he added.

"Also Janette taught our son some ballroom Look forward to seeing at the arena on Wednesday."
The social media posts comes days after Dan's dance partner Nadiya was pictured snogging fellow pro Kai just ten days after insisting they were not an item.
The couple’s very public display of affection followed a mid-afternoon flit away from tour co-stars.
Professional dancers Nadiya, 32, and Kai, 26 — who have constantly denied any romance — kissed in a bar during a 30-minute visit to the Malmaison Newcastle last Thursday.
A source said: “Nadiya and Kai met away from the other dancers and celebrities who were a mile up the road in the Travelodge.
“She had bought Kai a coffee from Starbucks next door and they talked and cuddled before having a kiss.
“They didn’t seem to care who could see them. It’s clear they are massively loved up.
“They didn’t want anyone gossiping. There’s already been so much speculation.
“But since they have been so overt with their displays of affection, they might as well have had a kiss in the Travelodge and saved the journey.”
The Sun understands Nadiya and Kai started dating early on in the show, where they developed a close bond.
Nadiya split from footballer Matija Skarabot, 33, last year. They have a daughter aged five.

In recent weeks, Nadiya has repeatedly been seen with and without her engagement ring.
Kai cut short questions when asked about Nadiya during a press call for the Strictly tour.
