We visited this restaurant two months ago for a family dinner. This restaurant is inside The Ritz-Carlton on Residency Road. It was on my must visit list of restaurants for a while now. The place is nice with a rather cinematic entry to the restaurant with a beautifully crafted water source surrounded by flambeau (flaming torches), which in the night is quite scenic and a photographer's delight. Seating is spacious with dimly lit lights on the second floor. You get to see live musicians playing instruments with Indian classical tunes like they used to play in a King's court. Until now, it was all fine, and I was looking for an Awadhi spread in the menu card (as their specialty) and ordered from the list. Unfortunately, the authenticity of the food was missing taste-wise. The portion size was quite low against the premium price. I am a light eater but still felt it. Galouti Kebab was one the reason for visiting this place, but I will rate it 6/10. Awadhi Murg Biriyani was also disappointing with a strong influence of Hyderabadi (Nizami) Biriyani. Naan varieties were saving grace in the entire dinner. We ordered a Chef's special Gosht E Awadh, which was a soul sister of the prestigious Kashmiri Rogan Josh! Sweet dishes are limited as it is with most of the same category restaurants. However, I should mention the service offered by both Mr. Raj and Ms. Rosie (I hope the name is correct) they both were an ultimate example of wow customer service with a very limited staff presence during festival days of October. Special thanks to both of them for an enjoyable evening! At the end, if you are a foodie, then visit once for the experience.

Riwaaz is an amazing restaurant with impeccable service. I would definitely mention Poulami and Ritalis‘s name who made sure that we were looked after. The food is really nice and I would definitely recommend ”Gosht ki Nahari“ and Kebab Platter. All in all one of the best restaurants i have ever been to.
