Riyasat - Restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Had a truly great experience at Riyasat in South City Mall. The food was simply heavenly, the mocktails were well mixed and the ambience had a grandeur. The staff were very attentive and service was very prompt. The Galawti Kebab and Biryani deserve special mention.

Lovely restaurant to have authentic Indian food, with absolutely Professional chef making the food authentic and tasty. Paneer quality is out of the box here. And all dishes are really tasty, with minimal amount of oil used in all dishes including butter naan. Plus they also give complimentary whole grain nachos. For non veg Laal maans and yakhni is recommended

Location: 3rd floor of South City Mall Ambience: Tastefully decorated, good space between tables. Filtered drinking water available. Service: Just ok, not very attentive, need to call them to get some service. Ordered: Best Of Riyasat Nonveg Thali Rs 995 consisting of: * Crisps with variety dips: dips of spicy tomato, pudina, yogurt, mango pickle. Nice start to the meal. * Bhatti ka Chooza(chicken): boneless kebab with Punjabi Mugga spices, quite tender and medium spicy, taste was good. * Shikanje ka Murg(chicken): boneless kebab with Guntur chillies and curry leaves, excellent taste, the best of the starters. * Bhekti Roll(fish): bhekti fish with ginger and green chillies crumb fried, was quite hot and spicy, did not like it. * Safed Murgh(chicken): boneless chicken in gravy of Mathania chillies and yogurt, little spicy, had a creamy texture, very good taste. * Lal Maas(mutton): mutton pieces in fiery red thin gravy, more spicy but not too much, lacked the distinctive flavour, mutton was a little less than tender but ok, taste was average. * Lasooni Palak: spinach mash with carrots, corn, peas. Nice balance of spices, smooth texture, excellent taste. * Thikri Dal: arhar dal with hing, nice smooth texture, perfectly cooked, very good taste. * Mawa Pista Halwa(dessert): mashed sweet carrots with milk cake and pista. Creamy texture, not too sweet, excellent end of meal dish. * Butter Naan and Peas Pulao: both were very nice. Overall, a very satisfying lunch. Good range of items with different tastes. Highly recommended!

We went on a date today at Riyasat, South City Mall, it was a busy day and we got a wait time of 20 mins . We got the very good service. The service sir really helped us in choosing the right and best dish. At first they gave us complementary 6 dips with papad nachos kind of thing. Which we tried and it was good. We ordered my all time favourite- fresh lime soda sweet, which was really good. Starter ---for the starter we have ordered Bhetki aam aada Tikka -4 pcs --- it was really good in taste . Soft delicate bhetki fish , with hints of green mango and mango ginger(aam aada) and kasundi flavours. Main Course --- Garlic butter naan, Warqi paratha and Khad Gosht (mutton dish) ---the mutton was very tender, delicate and less spicy. Biryani is the highlight, you can try that as well, but we decided to skip. Sweet dish.... There were multiple options but with the price at the high side we decided to skip. The overall experience was really Good. You can try here and comment on your experience. I hope you will enjoy it here.

Food quality is good, all the food are written clearly with calorie count so good for those who are in diet, balushahi balai tukda is just finger licking one, each type of briyani consists of 4 pieces of meat and complimentary raita which is made of hang curd, but foods are overpriced

A truly royalty inspired dining experience Went here for dinner with my family on the occasion of my mother's birthday! Firstly, the interiors are well designed, giving off the royal ambiance vibes! One great thing that must be mentioned here is the menu card. It had all the information regarding ingredients being possible allergens(glutten/milk products). It would a help a lot for people with specific food intolerance. Coming to the food, all the recipes are royal cuisine inspired, and so were their names! We had chicken, 2 types of bhetki, and lamb for starters, and Riyasati Mutton biryani and Warki paratha for the main course with a couple of chmutton sides. The bhetki preparations stood out for us, particularly the aam ada bhetki, it was so soft and white! Service was great, the waiters were courteous and intimated appropriate wait times while ordering itself. Had an amazing experience overall, would recommend checking this out if you're hunting for a good dinner experience in town

Food according to price is not justified. The quantity is very less according to the price they are serving. Although biryani was good enough but it also costs around 625/- (gosht biryani) enough for one. The mock-tails were good. The service and ambiance is good enough.

There is no other place on earth that does justice to Indian breads like these people. The Kolkata style mutton biriyani is something for which I will come here again and again. The lal maas is something that mutton lovers could commit murder for. I had no idea that fine dining took their food seriously too.
