Riwaz by Atul Kochhar in South Bucks

We had the taster menu and it was absolutely delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and, sorry we stayed longer than we should have, but it was your fault for having such lovely food. Thank you so much. I hope you don’t mind if we pop up again soon xx

Great taste, service and atmosphere!!

Lovely lunch, the presentation of food and drinks was lovely. I do recommend visiting here.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of dining at Riwaz in Beaconsfield with my family. I always look forward to experiencing new Indian culinary delights in UK, and Riwaz did not disappoint at all. Thanks to Mr. Kochhar for walk the talk his well earned Michelin standard. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and elegant. The decor is modern yet warm, creating a perfect setting for a family dinner. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and were attentive throughout our meal, ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of. Our experience at Riwaz was exceptional. The food was of the highest quality, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was perfect for a family outing. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and experience justify the cost. I highly recommend Riwaz to anyone looking for an exquisite dining experience. Free parking was one of the plus too.

I had higher expectations, drove from Milton Keynes for this "amazing" food, where's my local take away tastes 10x better and for a lower price. The chicken in the starter was nice but the main was tasteless. Had chicken thigh instead of chicken breast and it tasted like boiled chicken added into a "butter sauce" that reminded me of the canned tomato soup I had at university. With the butter chicken, we only got 3 tiny pieces of chicken and 1 small portion of rice between 2 people. Desert was average. Service was ok, but disappointed with not being offered/asked for papadums and dips like every other table had (where there were 3 or more people). I take it if only 2 people dine, it is not being offered...first ever Indian restaurant where that has happened to me. I understand it was a 3 course meal, but the portions sizes and quality, unfortunately, did not meet expectations. Ps. If you need to use the restroom, make sure you have enough strength to push through. It was defective and made it very difficult to go in and out.

Me and my wife visited Riwaz for the first time and the service provided specifically by Rajat was outstanding. He was very attentive, professional and polite from the start to finish. The food was excellent and flavoursome. Thank you and we hope to visit you soon.

It was outstanding!!! The staff were excellent in doing their job and the food was out of this world. Definitely having this again. It was flawless and wonderful. And there was parking right in front of the restaurant so it was easy to get inside in the rain. And in the end they made a wonderful cake for my wife’s birthday.

The best service we’ve ever had. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and they made it so special. Atmosphere was 10/10 and the food was incredible. Highly recommend, best meal we’ve had out in years!

Staff were very helpful and friendly. It would have been nice if they had put birthday song when the cake was brought up

it was nothing short of amazing. The flavours were rich and authentic, with every dish offering a perfect balance of spices and aromas. The warmth of the roti and naan, the tenderness of the meat, and the vibrant colours of the curries made for an unforgettable experience. Without a doubt, I’ll definitely be coming back again.

Lovely warm welcome, excellent food and impeccable service. Thank you SO much. We will return !

Great good and service as usual! They also have an outdoor area, which would be great for a function as someone was doing when we visited.

Food and service are excellent. Rajat is always great.

Bit loud. Staff service excellent. Food. .. not 100% authentic.... but 90% there... Dhal to much cream, salmon overcooked but replaced by staff quickly! Chocolate mouse for desert on Indian tasting menu! Wine pairing was excellent.

Extremely good quality Indian food in the lovely town of Beaconsfield. Expensive but worth it. Excellent service.

The best experience, food was fantastic and food was excellent. The staff were so attentive and really went out of their way. Well recommend this restaurant

We had a voucher for a 3 course meal with cocktail. The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly. It was our first visit there and we will definitely return again. Would highly recommend a visit there

Amazing food, love all the dishes. Customer service was amazing. The staff there were really welcoming. Will definitely revisit again

Had a lovely meal. Very tasty. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Last minute decision to eat out on Saturday. The food was good and had great flavours. Service was pretty good too. Everyone smiled. The only issue is that the table that we chose was fine up until just before we finished the mains when the air conditioning was put on. We were so cold that we had goosebumps. Not great and we got out as quickly as we could after our dessert. Not a good end to the dinner.

Service was excellent but the food was not catered for authentic Indian palette. Dishes need more flavour, spice and chilli.

Okay, Atul has created a wonderful menu and restaurant in Beaconsfield. The establishment was ridiculously quiet and empty for a Thursday night. Food was good, the dhal was banging (as usual). The lamb (£7 surcharge) could have done with more spices and also maybe sear the meat before adding to sauce! One star lost for this. 12.5% "auto" service charge - discretionary or not - unacceptable. Let the paying public decide themselves. This charge also included the gift voucher cost! ANOTHER star lost for this shoddy practice.

Absolutely awful everything watered down. It was shocking poppadoms the one you’d buy from Tesco’s For £245 down the line, it was shocking

Ohhh delicious! The daal was the standout for us. Went for the set menu, felt just the right level of full at the end. Would highly recommend Riwaz. Anniversary meal- great service for the occasion. Thank you so much

We had the lunch menu, very tasty. Will be back for the tasting menu soon!!

Amazing restaurant very clean. The staff were very helpful especially when we had people with allergies. The food tasted amazing wasn't chilli at all. We went during the lunch menu.

Having incredibly conflicting feelings about this place... Completely overpriced yet INCREDIBLY tasty food, the flavours are unheard of! However, there is a MAJOR elephant in the room - the price of each dish. Everything was within £12-18 so was to a very premium range but the taste justified it. Special recommendations for the dal makhani and the paneer tikka which really stood out amongst the crowd. Service was incredible (our server Rajat really added to the atmosphere) and the ambience was really inviting. Overall, a major thumbs up if you are willing to pay for what the food's worth.

Great tasty food, great environment setting.

We were lucky to be treated to the taster menu here and the food didn't disappoint. The service was A* but that may of just been due to the fact that the restaurant was very quiet. The only thing that let this restaurant down was the 2 * toilets, wet floor signs chucked under the sinks with easily accessible cleaning products not what you expect from a high end establishment, certainly not a family friendly bathroom.

Amazing food, wonderfully attentive staff, and a great atmosphere

Amazing food, beautifully served. We visited lunchtime and had the set menu which is amazing value. The butter chicken was lovely and creamy, sea bass perfectly cooked, and the dhal makhani was very tasty. Highlight was the roasted carrot and pistachio dessert - delicious!!

This was our first visit to Riwaz and we had an excellent meal from the set lunch menu which included some dishes we wouldn’t normally have tried but I’m glad we did! All courses were cooked to perfection, seasoned just right and the flavours were mouthwatering - portion size was also just right, we were pleasantly full at the end of the meal. Cocktails were also delicious and the Black Muscat dessert wine was a wonderful new discovery. Service was exemplary - just the right amount of attentiveness and friendliness. While it may be considered to be an “upmarket” restaurant, we thought our meal was very good value for money. Surprisingly, the restaurant was barely half full at the time we visited - with food and service this good it should be packed out all the time. We’ve already booked to go back very soon.

If you wanna indian test Don't go there. It's very expensive and too less quantity. Save your money eat somewhere else unnecessary service charge.

Everything ok but they charged extra or water even i tell them i want tap water they give still water and take 5.25 pounds it’s too much and extra charges is too high please don’t go there if you want good taste

Definitely try the 7 course tasting menu with a variety of options (vegan, vegetarian, meat) is incredibly good. Very subtle, the right portion and definitely very Indian. We celebrated my husband's birthday with Gulab jamun at the end which made his day for sure. An experience for sure.

Great Indian food with great service. I would highly recommend.

Lovely customer service and well looked after. Food was great!

Fantastic food would highly recommend

Quite expensive and not worth it. I got stomach pain immediately after their food. And our server tried to upsell things to us 3-4 times.

We were here for the valentines tasting menu. We usually go into London so I was a bit apprehensive and I’m Indian but I can honestly say it was one of the nicest meals ever. The service of the staff was just perfect so friendly but not overbearing. The food every course just delicious and just when we thought we might stay hungry out came the main with all the accompaniments and then desserts. Just to top it off Atul came in and greeted us so nice. I can’t wait to return - I’m usually the first to complain but Riwaaz you blew me away - what a perfect night with the hubby of 20 years x

Came after seeing on Instagram. Food was exceptional and the service impeccable. The best Indian food we have ever had. Definitely recommend the brownie, if you have room. Will definitely be returning

The Good is the service was excellent the staff couldn’t be more helpful the Bad the food well small starters were ok but the mains curry 🥘 dishes where bland and odd favour's which didn’t match but dessert's was great just massively disappointing main ruined my experience to be honest and the weird mint moketails was more a mint chantey drink enough said aside putting English biscuits 🍪 into an Indian classic starter is pure sacrilege or Cultural vandalism? Well whatever it was it did NOT work apart from make us laugh!

Fantastic food and excellent service, highly recommended

Lovely market town location and easy parking directly outside the restaurant entrance; great welcome and attentive service throughout the meal. Good menu choices and delicious food (took some home as couldn’t eat everything!). Relaxing and pleasing decor; will definitely return again.

Great service, wonderful staff and well looked aftered. Amazing food, can’t fault anything. Served perfectly. We had a valentines 7 course 1 was vegan and I had vegetarian. Perfect !!!

Our meals were delicious. Staff accommodated my coeliac requirements very well. We will be back. Thank you for such a lovely time.

Amateurish service (with a waiter whose priority several times was to make jives about customers clothing - which flopped every time). Food temperature not great. Dull decor (unchanged since a Zizzi) with too small tables. Not good enough at these high prices.

The resturant had a good atmosphere . The staff where friendly helpful and understanding . Food was tasty hot and refreshing.The Day finished off with meeting Atul Kochhar himself . It was very nice experience .

Visited this restaurant without having booked for a Saturday lunch. They were busy - or were with booked tables later than we had arrived-but happily accommodated us. The greeting was friendly and the restaurant was bright, airy and had a good atmosphere. We had drinks promptly and the menus and any descriptions about the food were handled professionally and quickly by our waiter/s. The food was excellent, came well cooked, beautifully seasoned- as one would expect- and the portion sizes were more than adequate. The flavours of the sauces that came with my halibut were really good. Subtle but there, still allowing the chance to taste the main food element. The skin on my fish was good and crispy. We really wanted to try at least one of the more obscure sounding deserts but neither of us could manage the third course unfortunately. Toilets were clean and well presented. We will return soon.

Over priced, small portions and awful wine. We ordered Gosht Beaab. £20. It was a bowl of bland tasting curry sauce with 5 tiny pieces of lamb the size of sugar cubes. No depth of flavour. We ordered a mixed grill £21. which consisted of 1 prawn. 1 tiny finger bite of salmon. 1 tiny finger bite of chicken, 1 tiny finger bite of lamb and 1 tiny single broccoli stem. Too small to share. Quite tasty though. We ordered a mix vegetables dish which was laughable. It arrived in a tiny copper pan that any steak restaurant would deliver your pepper sauce in. The worst part of the meal was the £41 a bottle olive grove Australia Chardonnay. It tasted like a £4.50 cheap bottle of plonk off the bottom shelf of a supermarket. We ordered a rice to try and soak up some curry sauce but it wasn’t tasty so left it. The bill for the 2 of us came to £113. So disappointed especially when it’s supposed to be by an award winning chef. We won’t be going back

Food was very tasty, service was great and the atmosphere was excellent.

The restaurant serves average food at a reduced portion and are excessively priced. You'd expect quality food but this is not the case. For an Indian restaurant, the dessert menu does not serve anything indian. The waiter was busy on his phone instead of doing what is expected of him. There are better Indian restaurant around, probably because its not associated with Atul.

The starter and main courses were delicious!! Desert was not as good, but service was excellent, lovely atmosphere and couldn't fault the starter and main!

As we searched restaurants around Beaconsfield, we chanced upon Riwaz and chose to head here for an impromptu date night. We reserved at the last moment but got a table easily. Once welcomed and seated in, we get to absorb the quaint and modern ambience. As we look into the menus, we are served Pappadums with Chutneys. Once the choices were decided, we ordered the Tangra Prawns, Gosht Ke Kofte, Naan with Gosht Be Aab and Chicken Biryani with a Kesar Aam Bellini to go along. While we were waiting for food, we got a complimentary Chickpea Cheesecake from the Chef that just melts for every bite. The Tangra Prawns were a sweet and sour crunchy bite. Gosht Ke Kofte was lamb cutlets served juicy and tender. The Biryani had mild flavors with a frothy raita to complement. The Naan was flaky and went great with the Gosht Be Aab that had a subtle coconuty flavor. The Kesar Aam Bellini was a bit bitter for my taste but the Mango Bite was a nostalgic hit. For the Dessert we ordered the Chocolate Orange Mousse which was a creamy mousse topped with bits of candied orange peels and a layer of orange gel. Overall, a good experience and probably somewhat okay in the pocket as well for being a fine dine.

Great food, friendly service. Lunch is great value

There was no taste disappointment guys .😔

Food fine, service fine, but definitely nothing exceptional. The price does not reflect any superior aspect in terms of food, ambience or service. I actually feel I have eaten better food, similar service and drunk better beers for half or one third of the price. Honest opinion.

My wife booked a table for four for our Christmas Eve Family lunch via Opentable. Confirmation was received. Without any communication or warning, the restaurant cancelled the booking a couple of days later. My wife had to ring the restaurant, to be told they had a large group booking that day but would re-accomodate/re-book us in for their much more expensive taster menu at a much inflated cost. Very disappointed. @Atul Kochhar, is this the way you do business?

The reception was friendly. We were the first in. Had the place to ourselves to start. Service was ok but not paced. For example, had to wait for drinks. Had to call someone over to order. Had to ask for the bill. Lots of different people serving. A young lady also serving who struggled to communicate and interact. appreciate English may not be her native tongue but engaging with customers would help with this. Food was good. We had a set menu. It had a Christmas theme with Indian style food. Chicken dippers with mint since and poppodoms, samosas, lamb curry and turkey with rice and daahl and mincemeat samosas to finish. Supplemental for naan, samosas, lamb, etc. 2 alcoholic drinks, sparkling water, coke bill came to 115 which was a bit steep considering the service. Annoying music on loop had no bearing on environment hence low points. Not a destination restaurant would stick to marlow if had to choose.

We had a lovely experience at the Riwaz by Atul Kochhar. Courteous service. We liked the decor. The food was good - not too spicy or oily - very flavourful!

Food was ok, can’t say the butter chicken was any better than a local takeaway. Poppadom and naan was nice. Mixed grill was disappointingly small, especially for £21. Service good. Would I return, probably not as stomach doesn’t feel great the morning after despite small quantity of food.

Went as couple (with another), this place being highly recommended. Menu is a bit limited, but had the best Biryani for a long time. Very nice food and good service. One letdown, as with a lot of restaurants these days, the toilets. Looked like they had been cleaned in the morning then left all day! Cubicle lock broken and water everywhere. Would go back, just not the loo!

Very disappointing, messy welcoming mat, front of house staff not very engaging, food was very basic, waited ages for a naans, food was cold by the time the naans had arrived. For the price you pay, you expect a better service and quality of food. Staff can do with a lot of training. Far nicer authentic indians restaurants nearby. Will not be returning. Butter chicken was very poor.

Good for all things but the price Is too much so please avoid It of you don t want tò have a mortgage

We recently celebrated a birthday and anniversary at Riwaz, run by Chef Atul Kochhar, and it was fantastic. Booking the same day was surprisingly easy, and we found a parking spot right outside. Walking in, the place had a really warm and inviting feel. We got a great welcome and were seated immediately. What I really liked was how quickly they took our order - no waiting around. We decided to try the six-course vegetarian taster menu, and it was a hit - both in looks and taste. The cocktails were a bit fruitier than I usually like, but still good. The place got pretty busy, but the staff handled it like pros. They kept our meal moving along without any hitches. I'd totally recommend Riwaz if you're in the mood for Indian food that's both delicious and beautifully presented. I'm posting some pictures of our meal and the restaurant to show just how great it was.

We visited today for a late kid free birthday lunch. Excellent food, great service and ambiance. It was good value as well. We highly recommend. We had the a la carte menu but there is also a reasonable set menu.

Appalling murg khurchan take away....felt as if eating raw chicken.... on the top chicken was not fresh and I could feel it all the way to my gut.....

Great food, flavours, and hospitality! Indulged in the tasting menu and everything on it hit the spot! Not to forget the drinks- they were as good

Ate out on the Terri e. Amazing food and dining experience.....

Not a good expeince to visit that place staff is not co oprative even we come without eat anything it feel ambarce in front of all

Sat outside in a beautiful evening. Great surroundings, great food and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Came here for the first time of an anniversary meal. Great food, very tasty and beautiful flavours. Will certainly be back soon.

I've been calling out for an awesome Indian experience, and finally Atul delivers 🙌🏻

Very well appointed, service fairly good as you would expect, food sensational

Our first visit to Riwaz although we have visited Atul Kochhar's restaurants in Marlow. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. The food was so delicious, delicately flavoured with some interesting twists. We had the 7 course taster menu and it would be impossible to choose a favourite. I loved the flavours of the sweet and sour prawns and both my husband and I enjoyed our choice of mains. My husband chose lamb which was perfectly cooked - pink. I had the lobster which was cooked to perfection.Portion sizes, in our opinion, were perfect. We felt full but not uncomfortable. Staff are a great asset - all staff were friendly and efficient and our waiter was charming and always smiling. I felt a bit underwhelmed by the decor - a bit 'pup' like and background music was a bit loud and could be more low key.

Incredible flavours and great service as always, Rajat, Pankaj and chef Taran are fantastic

Had lunch which was excellent. Simple menu but fresh n authentic food. Each morsel had a unique n pleasant taste. Will go again for sure!!!! Friendly n professional service.

We had our anniversary meal here back in April and the food and service were superb.

Very small portions, very expensive and taste not at all to the standards. Very disappointing

Always a great experience overall, not as busy on week days so we embark on a pleasant culinary trip. Some would say it is somewhat expensive but then everywhere around here is and worth paying a little more for the Atul Kochhar experience !

Went for a work lunch. Lovely restaurant with some excellent food. The service was top notch.

Very satisfied with the restaurant I will be back again

service was great but other than that the food. really poor. portion sizes are small but there is nothing inventive on this menu and doesn’t justify the price. there are so many better venues. if you are anglo indian you won’t be impressed

Nice ambience , service good . Food caters for a bland pallet . So if you prefer the traditional Indian flavours this place isn’t for you. As far as cost was concerned , it was not worth it . Would not go again . 😟

Was tempted in to try the lunch menu by the £15 for two courses advertised on the blackboard outside and the menu displayed outside. However, the menu given to me when I had taken a table was actually £19 for two courses. I had sparkling water and the two courses and the bill came to over £27 (including the “discretionary” service charge. It proved a lot more expensive than I had expected so I feel a bit “suckered” into entering the restaurant. That said, the food was lovely, especially the delicately spiced sea bass and the portions were good.

One sliced onion (20p) with some mixed spices(5p) and 0 skill does not constitute a £4.00 punjab laccha salad its lazy cooking at best and extortion at worst...it tasted how I described it looked how I described it and I was hugely disappointed. This is the second time I've eaten take out after one restaurant visit... The poppadoms nice... nicer than most The ghast very nice and well balanced The rice nice but no better than any other rice Not a £45 per head curry

What a superb experience @ "Riwas" yesterday for lunch. Everything was perfect: the food was lovely & so well presented. The service was discreet & the courses were fully explained. The staff were friendly & went out of their way to accommodate any requests. All in all: a highly recommended restaurant.

Decent food but not as good as I expected. The service is excellent.

Gave Riwaz a second chance, we came about a year ago and thought it was ok. Today it was very disappointing. The kebab platter is definitely not worth the price. Everything was cooked well and mildly spices but there was hardly anything there. Mains were served warm, waited over 10 minutes for service to ask for a hot meal! Dhaal was nice. Kerelan chicken was sickly sweet, we could not finish the portion. Ordered the milk cake for dessert and I think this is one of the worst desserts I have ever had. The components did not work together and the twill tasted off like stale oil. The food was cooked well but nothing was wow or full of flavour as Indian food should be. I don’t we will be returning.

Great food, good service, lovely decor. Overall a great experience and would return!

A good place to go for their lunch menu. Very satisfying and the price is very reasonable for the great food provided. The atmosphere was comfortable. I went at 12 when it opened and after the meal, I turned around to see the restaurant was nearly full.

Tried the tasting menu, overall a good experience except for the chicken dish which didn't seem like a tandoori chicken, prepared in a real tandoor.

Friendly and decidedly upmarket feel. Food is fabulous and certainly from the top draw. You must try the taster menu in particular with the accompanying wines.

Truly amazing place. The food was incredibly good, the service excellent & totally unique. A bit pricey but well worth the extra spend. Can't wait to go again on another special ocassion

Excellent food, fab service, we really enjoyed our family get together in the private room they provided for us. Thank you, Riwaz team, see you soon.

Amazing Food - Great Service. Had the John Dory starter followed by the Halibut as a main. Both were beautifully cooked and presented, subtle in spices allowing you to taste the main ingredient. Thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Superb! Best fusion for my taste buds from Indian Cuisine. 100% recommend the restaurant in Beaconsfield, easy to reach by car, bus (101 & 102 bus) and by train Chiltern Line. No excuse not to go to experience the best Indian in town!

We had a lovely time and felt looked after. The food was excellent and the flavours beautifully balanced. I do think it was quite highly priced.

Very very poor service….highly unprofessional staff. Not attentive - and appeared to be rude. One of them was clearly in a bad mood the manner he was taking the order. Another guy smelled of cigarettes (appeared to be the manager). NOT COMING BACK AGAIN.

Excellent Indian meal, interesting Nd most definitely not the usual menu. Had brilliantly cooked venison loin, prices were reasonable we felt.
