Been again tonight and all I can say is wow!!! The food from starters to mains absolutely amazing. The lamb chops are devine. Never before have i had such tasty amazing lamb chops. The service was amazing and the staff couldn't do enough for you. Bonus that they offered 25% off monday to thursday so cost only 56 for a 3 course meal with drinks! Not worth cooking for that. Well done Rivaj. Will definitely be back ASAP

From the first bite to the last, this meal was an unforgettable experience. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with love and skill. Every dish was a masterpiece—beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. You can tell the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully chosen. Whether you're a foodie or just someone who appreciates a great meal, this place is a must. Pure culinary magic. I’m already dreaming about my next visit!

Me & my husband came here for the first time tonight (22/05/2025) for our 3 year wedding anniversary & it did not disappoint us we had the loveliest service from the staff who even gave us complimentary aperitifs whilst it was a special occasion & not only is the food great but really good portions & definitely value for money (we took 2 tubs of leftovers home as there was that much to eat ) thank you to all of the staff who made our first visit a good one & we will be back again soon we highly recommend this restaurant

I love Rivaj. We have been plenty of times over the years and I’ve always enjoyed the food and service. We went as a large group this evening and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. The number of choices on the menu is brilliant and the quality is great. I find their descriptions of spice levels to be accurate too, which is helpful.
