First time trying the food here and by far the best for me! Portion sizes were very generous and tasty will definitely be ordering from here again!

1st time trying here and it is by far the best Indian I've had. Also fast delivery this will be my go to Indian takeaway from now on.

If I could use one word to describe this restaurant - wow. But I don't suppose you win 5 consecutive Asian Curry Life Awards without knowing your way around a tandoor.A first class dining experience, I'm no stranger to a butter chicken, but the Zaal Makhani elevated this to levels I have not seen since my days in India. The sauce had a beautiful spice level, but the star of the show was the onions, peeled to perfection, with the love and care that they are so sadly often deprived of.The flavours of home, in the heart of Lymington. I am tempted to message Larry Page personally to up the maximum rating on Google to the 6 stars this 'Mecca' of curry deserves.

Best Indian I've ever tasted. Fresh, flavoursome food. Great staff. Would thoroughly recommend.

Bland.Along the high street of Lymington, this seemingly ?fancy? curry house intends to welcome the wealthy residents and visitors of Lymington into a sophisticated curry experience, only to disappoint with shady service and flavourless food.Slamming of doors and over upselling makes the experience feel nerve-racking and pressurised. Followed by the changing of waiters leading to an inconsistent experience. The appearance of this restaurant may feel luxurious at first, but as you get comfortable and soak in your surroundings you will soon notice the lack of attention to detail.I always like to judge hospitality by their toilets and unfortunately the Rivaaz disappoints. The toilets are small, awkward to get to, and not well maintained. Which I think reaffirms the stark contrast between the clean and shinny appearance, to the dark and dingy interior. But hey, who am I to judge a book by its toilets.Finally the food. I had a starter and main course, with popadom and dips before (fine). The starter was an exciting prawn sauce in a crispy wrap, yet I felt it lacked flavour. This sentiment was echoed in my lamb main. Perhaps the chef forgot to use salt on this occasion. However, I suspect a dilution of flavour for the more traditional palate was at play. Nevertheless, it was almost edible.If you want a good curry, go somewhere else.If you want a nice dining experience, go somewhere else.Prices were ok.

Poppadom and chutney tray- nice dips and the coconut chutney was very good.Mixed platter- very good cannot fault thisRailway lamb (fiancées POV)- lamb was nice and soft with a nice flavour but didn?t blow her awayGunpowder chicken- really didn?t enjoy this, tasted like a mix between Heinz ketchup and bbq sauce, very flavourless and didn?t taste like an Indian/asian dish at all. On a positive, it?s spicy if you like spice.Drinks- red wine and cobra were nice.Service- workers were really polite and friendly however asked me twice for my main during my starter even when I had my fork half way in my mouth which I didn?t appreciate as felt very rushed.Atmosphere- busy and a good vibePrice- reasonable pricesNot a local but if I was to visit Lymington again, I would not return based on this experience, perhaps I chose a bad night as was super busy.

Great tasting food and great service. A great restaurant for Indian and Asian food. Popular so worth booking ahead.

I heard Rivaaz are now doing deliveries so I had to have one. I was not disappointed! I have dined in at Rivaaz on many occasions, takeaways are normally disappointing after enjoying eating in an establishment but not Rivaaz. My food arrived within half an hour after it had been ordered, the food was piping hot so very fresh and the portion sizes are very generous. Everything is in plastic containers to keep the freshness in and on top of that everything has a printed label so no more guessing what everything is! Absolutely genius! The best takeaway experience I have had! And as always the food is delicious, by far the best Indian food I have eaten for a very long time! I will be ordering again!

Wow, really great food, this is one of the best Indians I have purchased from.

We ordered mixed grill, mutter panner, Biriyani, nan and paratta. We paid the bill in full.Mutter panner n nan - great.Mixed grill - less than mediocreBiriyani - can't remember a worse one that i had before. The Waiter did say he could take it out of the bill, but we rejected it and paid.If you are from the Indian Subcontinent, better try another restaurant.
