RIVAAJ

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Rivaaj Restaurant while visiting Doha! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance made us feel right at home. The staff were exceptionally attentive and friendly, making sure every detail of our meal was perfect. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care and authenticity. The menu offers a great variety, so there’s something for everyone, whether you enjoy classic favorites or want to try something new. What really stood out was the attention to detail—every bite reflected quality and passion. The service was prompt without ever feeling rushed, and the overall atmosphere was perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Rivaaj Restaurant has truly set a high standard, and we can’t wait to return next time we’re in Doha. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

Rivaaj located at The St. Regis Doha, is an impressive fine dining place which offers top-tier Indian cuisine with royalty. * Food Quality & Presentation: Must try are their Raj Kachori and Samosa Chaat. Their Biryanis, Dal and Khad Gosht are equally flavourful and beautifully plated. They have Signatures drinks mixed with Indian spices and herbs which are so perfect for the evenings. Desserts—being my favourite are handmade and authentic. * Ambiance and Setting: The interiors are warm with red velvet seating and soft golden lights. Comfortable seating arrangements for family and groups with live Indian music playing sometimes. However, the only downside for me was the volume which was a little high for a calm setting. * Service and Pricing: Service is swift and staff is friendly and attentive. The managers and Chefs directly approached us for the reviews and preferences. It was my husband’s birthday and he is lactose intolerant, so the chef served us a lactose free dessert (not in the menu) which was an extremely commendable and thoughtful gesture. Rivaaj falls into the premium fine dining bracket and therefore it is expensive. But truly the quality, service and ambience justifies the price. * Cleanliness & Hygiene: I would say - high standards in hygiene and presentation. From table settings to restrooms, everything is spotless. Overall, it is a standout choice to experience Indian cuisine and creative drinks in a gorgeous setting.

Simply amazing . Such a polite and welcoming staff .. I was genuinely impressed by the affection staff shows towards the customer . We were walked through ingredients and were given proper details . Food is impeccable especially the kebabs . Ambiance is lovely . We also ordered thaali it has sufficient quality with awesome options like Palak saag , mix veg sabji , paneer sabji and my personal fav the daal makhani..

We went for the set menu which was 150 per person. It was very good value for money the staff was so incredibly kind and attentive. The food itself was very good the items on the set menu we’re kind of hit and miss. I personally did not like the beef main dish but mostly everything else was very good, and such a unique experience, the only downside was the performer, the live music was a bit noisy but still we had a great time

Brilliant service from Karthik from the very moment we stepped through the door to the end, made us feel very welcomed and looked after. The food was excellent quality and taste. We had the veg and non-veg thali, which gave us a wide selection and fantastic value for money. Very nice touch from the team to give us a cake to celebrate our anniversary. I can see why this restaurant is one of the best Indian restaurants in Doha. Will return here again, when we are in town.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of rich flavors and perfectly cooked. The service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and efficient. From the welcoming atmosphere to the excellent dining experience, everything was top-notch. Highly recommended

Your biryani chicken stood out as a defining highlight. It arrived with fragrant saffron basmati, perfectly separated grains, and tender, richly spiced meat. The lamb biryani, in particular, featured melt‑in‑the‑mouth lamb shank that spoke of slow cooking and depth

Fantastic Indian food, this restaurant has a Michelin recommendation and that’s for sure worth it. Service is very good and helpful. We were there with our 2 kids and they did really their best to make it also comfortable for them. They served less spicy food and gave them ice cream and fries.
