Rivaaz - Lymington

We just walked off the street fancying a curry. The welcome was great, the staff were all very friendly and the food was really really good, some really interesting new dishes, not just the same old chicken tikka. A great experience. Well done team we’ll be back

Was really looking forward to going here winner of various awards and 5 star reviews. Disappointed would be an understatement starter was luke warm probably sat there some time whilst the large group was served. Way overpriced for the mixed veg starter. Couldn’t hear ourselves or waiter when ordering so had to be moved due to large noisy group another couple were also moved later maybe avoid Friday evening’s. Main course was very nice, but overpriced. More expensive than some London curry restaurants. Would have had a better and cheaper experience if bought main course as takeaway and sat in the car.

Excellent restaurant. The food was delicious. I had one of the restaurants favourite dishes, the Railway lamb, absolutely fabulous. Service was excellent. I wanted to ask a few questions about which dish would be best for me, I like madras heat curries and they had time to talk me through the choices. Looking forward to our next visit.

I have had the pleasure of dining at Rivaaz many times and have always enjoyed the amazing food and beautiful atmosphere. Shah is welcoming and charming. The best curry I have ever tasted, hands down. The lime pickle is to die for.

The team at Rivaaz provided excellent service. I had been following Shah on Facebook, where he shared recipes during the lockdown, and finally decided to visit the restaurant. My two friends and I were welcomed at the door and seated promptly (reservations are essential). The service was attentive but not intrusive. We all enjoyed our meals, with a variety of dishes to choose from. The breads were especially delicious. The overall quality of the food and ambiance made it a good value. We will definitely return.
