RIVAAJ

The hospitality at this Indian restaurant was absolutely amazing. The moment I walked in, the staff welcomed me warmly. When I couldn’t decide what to order, Mr. Danish even brought over a tablet with food photos and explained the dishes I was curious about. The restaurant is decorated with Indian style artwork and the music added a really nice vibe. For the starter, I went with my favorite pani puri. It came with two types of sauces and the slightly spicy one was super easy to enjoy. The vegetable biryani was packed with beautiful spice aromas and the raita had a unique, moist texture I’ve never had at other restaurants. It was delicious. Since Indian desserts are usually too sweet for me, I asked Mr. Danish for a recommendation. He suggested their signature Karak Doi Blume and it was perfectly balanced not too sweet, just right for me. The manager, along with Mr. Hiran also came over to chat and check on us which was really thoughtful. And I got super lucky, celebrity Chef Jolly happened to be there for a new menu development meeting so I even got the chance to talk to him directly! You can also enjoy Marriott Bonvoy member benefits here. They have a buffet and live music show on weekends so I’d love to come back again for that. If you’d like it more formal or more casual, I can adjust anytime!

Had a great dining experience at Rivaaj. The food was delicious, and a special thanks to Dominic and Sudeep for taking such great care of us — attentive, friendly, and professional. Made our evening even better!! 🔥🥳

RIVAAJ offers the best Indian food I've had anywhere in the world. Everything was perfectly seasoned. We had the lamb chops and butter chicken which blew us away. Service was excellent and they were very knowledgeable accommodating to our gluten free diet. This will be the place I will visit first when I'm in Qatar. Thanks for the incredible experience

We just had a lovely dinner at Rivaaj. We went for the non veg tasting menu and it was really delicious. Dominic, Danish and Leah provided an amazing service. I can’t recommend enough 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!

Overall good experience. Food is rather mild for Indian tatse palette but of good quality. Service was adequate. Valet facility is available, but reservation would be suggested for themed dining.

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..

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.
