" Had the pleasure of dining at Riva and wow, just wow! The authenticity of their Turkish cuisine was evident in every dish. We ordered the lamb chops, and they were perfectly seasoned and grilled. The ambiance is cozy and super welcoming. I also really appreciated the attention from the servers who were always on hand to help without being intrusive. I left with a full belly and a happy heart. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

The mixed grill was a work of art, cooked to perfection, and so delicious. Service was fantastic; the team took great care of us. The desserts are also not to be missed, especially the kazandibi, which was divine! Can't wait to go back for round two. " (*Curated Review*)

Do not skip on the desserts, especially the baklava with ice cream, it’s heavenly! Highly recommend it for a nice family or friends gathering! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, Riva truly exceeded my expectations! The restaurant was packed when I visited on a Friday night, and I could see why! The Turkish coffee was strong and served perfectly. I went with the grilled lamb, which melted in my mouth it was so tender. The atmosphere creates a perfect backdrop for any meal. Highly recommend adding this gem to your list of must-visit restaurants! " (*Curated Review*)
