Since 2007
Our story
An award-winning Indian restaurant and takeaway on St Thomas Street, in the heart of Lymington and on the edge of the New Forest.
ABOUT RIVAAZ
Indian cooking with a creative twist
Rivaaz has been part of Lymington life since 2007. Our restaurant sits on St Thomas Street, in the heart of the town, and over the years it has become a firm local favourite.
We cook authentic Indian food with a creative twist. Our chefs use the best ingredients they can find, with fresh, seasonal produce from trusted local suppliers, and every dish is cooked to order.
Join us for dinner under our canopy of blossom, collect your takeaway in 20 minutes, or have it delivered anywhere within 10 miles, every evening from 5pm.

2023 ONWARDS
A new chapter
In 2023 Rivaaz became part of M95 Group, the family business behind The Sundorbon in Bridport, which has served Dorset since 1988.
Since then we have refreshed the dining room, rebuilt the menu and launched our own app for takeaway and delivery. In 2025 Rivaaz won at the Curry Life Awards, and in 2026 we were shortlisted for Asian Restaurant of the Year, South West, at the Asian Curry Awards.
Honoured every year since 2013
From Tripadvisor’s Hall of Fame to the Curry Life Awards, Rivaaz has been recognised every year since 2013.
