Rishtedar

Rishtedar is truly a standout spot in Santiago for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. The ambience is warm, colorful, and beautifully designed, creating a cultural experience the moment you walk in. It’s the perfect blend of elegance and tradition. I tried their daal, garlic naan, basmati rice, and zeera rice, and everything was absolutely delicious. The daal was rich, comforting, and full of flavor, the garlic naan was soft with just the right amount of aroma, and both rice dishes were perfectly cooked with authentic taste and texture. You can really feel the care and authenticity in each bite. The service was excellent as well attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. If you’re looking for great food, amazing ambience, and outstanding service, Rishtedar is definitely one of the best places to enjoy authentic Indian flavors in Santiago. Highly recommended!

I visited this restaurant several times while in Santiago. I found the food and drinks to be amazing. They had a good size menu with a diverse selection of foods. The cocktails were absolutely incredible. Probably some of the best I’ve had in Chile. I would definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys Indian and for anyone who likes a great cocktail.

Was here on my first night in Chile. Food was fine standard indian, curry was good naan was better than average cant rave but all good. Half the stuff on the menu was unavailable but we only found out one item at a time. This brings me to my issue the service. Look it was bad and at the same very strange. It was very slow and extemely disjointed. Had 4 different servers and none of them knew what was going on. They bought our food out after a huge wait of 45 minutes plus and none of it was ours? A few minutes later it was taken away and our real food arrived. Came time to pay. First time they gave me the wrong bill. Went away correct bill but they had charged me for things that we hadnt order only $20 of stuff but just another stuff up. Everyone was pleasent but it was like it was eveyones first day. Half the guests looked pissed off cant recommend.

Good food and service Reservations worked great since this place is very busy in the evenings. Was a quick walk from Ola Santiago Hilton. We went there 2 times.

Awesome experience. This place has great tasting food. Must taste. Coming from Florida, I can tell you the experience is exquisite.

Great place. Came all the way from a England to Chile and the family decided on an Indian. The food was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. We enjoyed every minute. Our table was 16 people and all ate well and enjoyed our time here. Thoroughly recommend a visit if you are in Santiago.

Rishtedar in Santiago was an incredible dining experience, full of vibrant flavors and a warm atmosphere. From the moment we stepped in, the rich aromas of Indian spices set the mood for an unforgettable meal. We started with Johar-e-Motia, and wow—the taste was absolutely awesome. The flavors were bold yet balanced, making it a perfect appetizer to kick things off. Then came the Achari Murgh Tikka, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of tangy pickle spices, paired with soft, aromatic basmati rice—every bite was a delight. My wife opted for Chole Bhature, and the dish was just as impressive. The chickpeas were full of rich, comforting flavors, and the bhature were light yet crispy—the ideal combination. To complement our meal, we ordered Pisco Sour and Chile Chai. The Pisco Sour had a refreshing citrus kick, while the Chile Chai brought a soothing warmth with its blend of spices. Both drinks perfectly rounded out the dining experience. Beyond the food, the restaurant's inviting ambiance and attentive service made our evening even more enjoyable. We savored every moment, and without a doubt, Rishtedar is a place we'd love to return to for another flavorful adventure.

Yeideline was the main reason I wrote this review. She was personable and attentive and worked so hard to help us with the menu. The food was excellent. Some of the best we have ever had and great atmosphere. We are going to the other location near the mandarin Oriental next week when we come back to Santiago. Fantastic!!!!

Decent food with excellent service. Chicken tikka was good while the Paneer missed the mark. It was chewy and not well made. But overall good drinks and desserts . A must try to check out the ambiance.

We were interested to try this Indian restaurant in Santiago. Service and ambience was A1. Paneer karahi was good however the chicken tikka was sweet. If you ever had Indian food you know that chicken tikka is never sweet. Also tried their pisco sour rishtedar which has cardamom twist and was good. But I would not call this authentic Indian food as the chicken tikka was sweet.

The most amazing Indian food I've ever had! I can't wait to come back and the service was also top tier!

Decent food, bad experience. I usually don't write reviews but had to this time around. I was traveling to Santiago for work and went to the restaurant for dinner with colleague. We ordered some food and after a while I discovered that my laptop bag disappeared from my table. Someone came sat behind me and stole it away from inside the restaurant. I don't speak the language but I was hoping that restaurant would help just a little with CCTV footage or something else (which they said they can't help with when asked). It also seemed like it wasn't the first time it happened there. Unfortunately, I had my wallet, laptop, immigration papers, and some valuables taken with laptop bag, which caused tremendous trouble. I probably would not go there again, my recommendation for restaurant would be to work on security and actually use it in such cases.

Amazing food, service and staff specially having Indian food in Santiago Chile. So much variety for vegetarians, lovely presentation and delicious food. We came from US on holidays to South America and it was much better than some of the places we have ate in US. Staff was friendly and ambiance was lovely. Too Rishtedar we went to the one in Providencia

Rishtedar is a small, yet authentic Indian food restaurant. The chef is from India and will sporadically go back to get more spices, ideas and stock-up on all around delicious options for his restaurant. Their naan and daal are to die for (I'm trying hard not to over exaggerate)! I have not found a better place that makes naan. Even my Indian friends say the naan is like something their moms would make or like they would find in the Indian markets. Seriously, no other Indian restaurant holds a candle to this naan unfortunately, their curry and other main dishes are not as amazing (don't get me wrong, they are good but not great). However, I recommend the vegetarian menu and also to try the Aalu Achari (spiced potatoes) yum! I also recommend accompanying your meal with a delicious mango lassi or chai tea. I am about to let you in on a secret. The key to Rishtedar is to tell them you like it spicy, not chilean style. If not, it's going to be bland and boring. If you like spice at all, you need to get at least a 3/5 or 4/5 (you've been warned). Tips: They have delivery! However, you have to be patient as their phone tends to be busy (they are in high demand). Also, be warned: the curry and naan do not travel well. They are def not as good delivered as it is when you get it at the restaurant.

Good food, but a tad low on value. Ambiance: Nice airy restaurant with a very full-on Indian influence. A little cramped when full. Service: I got take-out but my server was very friendly and helpful. Food: Great flavors. I tried the achari bengar (stewed eggplant), jeehinga punjabi (curried shrimp), rogan josh (lamb). All were excellent. Nice flavors without being too salty or overpowering. Might try for a little more spicy next time as I think they cater for Chilean tastes and adjust their range accordingly. The naan was beautifully fluffy and chewy. But as I only discovered when I got home - in spite of such a large order, rice was not included. Not good. More importantly, while the containers seems a good size, I also found that they were more sauce than meat (or vegetables). In the case of the JP I had to fish around for the seafood. Certainly nothing at all like the photos on their website. Price: A little high - $32,000 for the above. If rice had been included and the proteins actually filled the containers it would have been okay value. **** flavors at $$$$$ price.

Great service! I need today that first, for if you know anything about Chilean restaurants/bars service isn't usually "great". The food was outstanding. There's definitely a Goan influence but there's a Mutter dish and a few others that are of a northern Indian style - all sound very tasty. We had the mixed pakora; lightly fried eggplant, onion, cheese, and a spicy chili - perfect. The Traditional naan was fresh and on point.

Nice and tasting food. I ordered the paneer and it was tasty and well prepared. The waitress told me it was hot. I ordered grade 3 of 4. I could have ordered 4 without losing my tongue.

I ordered Chicken Korma and Pilau Rice with a large bottle of coke for delivery last night. After having read previous reviews warning about the food may be not travelling well and that the Chileno level of spice tolerance might not be that high I basically got hot edible food, albeit with not much spice, but which served its purpose of filling me up when I was hungry (which was all I was looking for my first night in town!)! The service on the phone was good (he was very patient with my stumbling Spanish!) and delivery was fast and with a smile (better than I receive at home at times!!)! Reading other reviews I think I will try eating in the restaurant next time now I feel better prepared to venture out into the city!

Loooove Rishtedar! The food, the ambience, the service, location ... everything is perfect and it's not too expensive. The curry dishes have great flavors and they offer basmati rice, which not all indian restaurants in Santiago do.

This was amazing Indian food with funny waiters and great service. One of our favorite places in Santiago. Fabuloso!

The appetizers like Samosa and Paneer Tikka were great. The main course was very flavorful and fresh. Definitely a great place to get authentic Indian food. Highly recommend it.
