Description

‘Heritage Indian Cuisine’ under the aegis of Surjan Singh, better known as ‘Chef Jolly’, is the order of the day at this elegant and moodily lit restaurant at the St Regis hotel. That means a menu offering an appealing range of dishes, from elevated street food to elegant curries and biryanis. The undecided should consider the ‘Signature Board’ offering a range of meats and seafood from the tandoor, plus salad and chutney. The service is always endearingly sweet-natured, adding to the restaurant’s appeal.

Review summary

Rivaaj in Doha holds a perfect 5.0/5 rating across 80 reviews. Food quality is the primary strength, described as aromatic, freshly prepared, and generously portioned. Standout dishes include crispy kale, lamb chops, and gulab jamun. Service is consistently praised for being attentive and warm, with staff members like Dominic and Diana frequently highlighted for their helpfulness, including accommodating children during Ramadan. The atmosphere is generally pleasant, though some guests noted it felt too quiet at times. While meal pacing received minor criticism, most reviewers found the value acceptable, particularly appreciating the variety in the hotel's half-board deal. It is regarded as a top-tier Indian dining option in the city.
