Description

Riz Restaurant in Margate, England is a vegan-friendly restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Such a hidden gem we stumbled upon! The place was quiet when we arrived, but the delicious food and cozy ambiance made up for it. The music playing in the background added a nice touch to the experience.

If you are looking to dine at a fabulous restaurant, consider this option. Sri Lankan cuisine is different from Indian food, although in Great Britain we often mix them up. When you visit here, be sure to ask for classic Sri Lankan dishes and the experienced staff will be happy to serve them. Instead of ordering generic Indian dishes like madras or korma, try out string hoppers, egg hoppers, and authentic Sri Lankan curries cooked with coconut. The food may take a little longer to prepare since everything is made fresh to order, but the delicious flavors are well worth the wait. The chef was enthusiastic about cooking for us, and I would highly recommend this restaurant with a 5-star rating. It was a pleasant surprise to find such great cooking on Northdown Road in Cliftonville!

We honestly didn't know what we were doing. it was empty at our arrival (maybe because it was 6.20 clock.) and the music came from a bad loudspeaker (good music but.) we ordered enough for 4 people, even if we were 2 and it was honestly absolutely delicious, the mini-dosa masala as starter is simply unbelievable, and I would recommend the aubergine curry with the mushroom rice. all we have ordered was £29 overall (in london it would be easy £50/60.) pretty much half of their menu is vegan. and, only for the case, they can always say to the waiter that they are vegan, they will take care of them.

Very nice eating, several vegetarian vegan options. was a bit mild for my taste, but the waiter brought some chopped fresh chili on the head. We ordered too much, but he put the rest in a box to take away. the next day also tasted cold for lunch.

This restaurant is excellent. The food is authentic and delicious. The staff are very generous, we even had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. The aroma of the food was mouthwatering. The service was personalized and we could tell that the whole family worked hard. We felt very comfortable and were able to stay as long as we wanted. A hidden gem in Cliftonville, Margate!

Brilliant sri lancan food, really nice staff. their new menu is online so check that before they order the papers.
