" What a great find! Riyasat serves up some incredible dishes. The paneer tikka was wonderfully spiced and tender. I found the garlic naan to complement my meal perfectly. For dessert, the gulab jamun was the cherry on top. The only downside was that the restaurant was busy, making the service a little less attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to dinner at Riyasat but ended up feeling somewhat disappointed. It was a nice ambiance, but the food didn't quite match up. The flavors were too mild for my taste. It is worth noting that the servers were friendly, but the kitchen seemed overwhelmed that night. " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing culinary journey at Riyasat! The butter chicken is hands down the best I've had outside of India, rich and creamy. The samosas are also not to be missed - crispy on the outside, and the filling is delicious! Every bite was a joy, and the attentive service only added to the experience. I would for sure come back soon to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Riyasat is a gem in Oakville! The overall experience was wonderful, especially the authentic biryani that truly satisfied my cravings. The restaurant's decor adds to the experience, providing an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. The service was relatively good, although it took some time for our drinks to arrive. Nonetheless, I'd recommend this place without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Riyasat! The flavors of the food were rich and delicious, however, I felt the vegetarian options were limited compared to the meat options. The atmosphere is intimate, and the decor is beautiful. Service can be a touch slow, especially during peak hours. Management might need to reassess their staff during busy times! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is undoubtedly one of the best Indian restaurant experiences I’ve had! The flavors were authentic and truly represented the essence of traditional Indian cooking. Do try the garlic naan with the butter chicken; it was heavenly! The ambiance was inviting and calm. You’d definitely want to come back for more. Just a minor hiccup in service when our drinks took a while to arrive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Riyasat was a great experience! The decor makes you feel like you are in India, and the food was just as good! I had the sizzling lamb platter, and it was very tender and full of flavor. I highly suggest trying their raita with the meal. The service was a bit slow but worth it for the delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)
