Rivaaz wins accolade 4-years in a row at Asian Curry Awards 2021

History was made at the Asian Curry Awards this year when a restaurant in Lymington retained its coveted title a record four years in succession.

Rivaaz was the undisputed ‘Asian Restaurant of the Year South Coast of England’ with the eatery proudly announcing on Instagram: “Never been done before!! 4 YEARS IN A ROW BABY!!!”

The event, which attracted over 800 guests to Grosvenor House in London’s Mayfair yesterday, saw one of only three restaurants rated 5/5 by FtLion this year also win an award.

Chef Dayashankar’s debut eatery Heritage Dulwich was voted London’s ‘Asian Restaurant of the Year’ with Benares in Mayfair winning ‘Fine Dining Restaurant’.
