A RESTAURANT in Lymington has once again been named the Best Asian Restaurant on the South Coast, now with five consecutive wins at the prestigious Asian Curry Awards. 

Rivaaz Indian Restaurant, Lymington has been recognised as the Best Asian Restaurant on the South Coast of England at the prestigious Asian Curry Awards 2022 for another year.

The 2022 award makes it a record-breaking five years in a row for Rivaaz which has previously never been achieved.

Founded in 2007 by Shah Malek, Rivaaz has achieved the recognition that it deserves by offering superior quality food and maintaining a standard that is not only the best in the area but also one of the best restaurants in the country.

Shah is also the Executive Head Chef and creates the menus himself using innovative recipes inspired by age old methods taught to him by his parents who both have a wealth of professional cooking experience spanning more than four decades.

Shah said: “We are thrilled to have been recognized as the Best Indian Restaurant on the South Coast of England for another year.

Daily Echo:

"Our key aim has always been to provide innovative Indian cuisine that pushes the boundaries and to consistently maintain the high standards that our diners have become accustomed to here at Rivaaz in both food and service.

"We are overjoyed to have won this huge award again which makes it a record breaking five times in a row and thrilled at the recognition we have received.

"None of this would have been possible without the continued support of all our lovely diners and also the entire team at Rivaaz who have worked tirelessly to make this award possible. Thank you!”

The event was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London on Sunday, November 22.

The dazzling, black tie event was hosted by BBC news Presenter Samantha Simmonds and was recognized by His Majesty the King as well as Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak who both sent their best wishes for the evening.

The event is by far the most coveted awards ceremony in the UK Asian hospitality calendar and was attended by over 800 restaurateurs, MPs and celebrity guests.
