" Stepped into Rivaj expecting a great experience but left disappointed. The vegetable curry was overly oily and lacked seasoning. While the service was prompt, I cannot say the same about the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Rivaj with friends and we all gave it a thumbs up! The Dosa buffet is a great value for your money - you get to try different varieties of dosas that are hard to come by elsewhere. I truly enjoyed the Gongura dosa! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here was good, but honestly not as good as many Indian places I've been to. I ordered the Butter Chicken which had a good creaminess but lacked the punch of flavors I was looking for. The ambiance was calming, and the service was friendly, but I'd still rate my experience as average. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was decent but not extraordinary. Nothing about the flavors stood out. The ambience was nice enough, but I expected more based on word-of-mouth referrals. Perhaps what I had wasn’t representative of their best offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought a large group for a birthday celebration, and everything was catered wonderfully. The Chicken Biryani was a huge hit - fragrant and filled with flavor! The service was attentive, and we received great recommendations from our server. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will surely return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chance to visit Rivaj Indian Cuisine and mostly enjoyed myself. The dosas were delicious, but I found the buffet selection limited compared to my expectations based on the reviews. Worth a try if you're local, but might not make a special trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect place for families! The buffet had amazing selections for both adults and kids. I loved the Chicken Biryani while my kids devoured the various dosas on offer. The staff was very accommodating and made our time enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)
