★★★★★ 5.0 Tuncay Gonulal · Feb 2026

Maybe you might think I’m exaggerating a little with this review, but trust me — once you experience the atmosphere at RIVA, taste the amazing food, the fresh salads, the variety of cold and hot appetizers, the delicious desserts, the outstanding service, and the genuine warmth of the staff, you will completely understand what I mean. We have eaten at many Turkish restaurants with my family, but we went all the way from Brooklyn just to try this place. I wanted to see it with my own eyes. And honestly, I can’t even find enough beautiful words to describe it. I have never tasted food this incredible anywhere else. I am sure that from now on, this has become our favorite restaurant as a family. The only reason I’m writing this review is out of respect for the value and effort they put into

★★★★★ 5.0 Diyor Bahromov · Mar 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Gem for Authentic Turkish Cuisine! From the moment you walk into Riva Turkish Restaurant, you’re welcomed with warmth, elegance, and the rich aroma of perfectly seasoned Mediterranean dishes. The ambiance is cozy yet upscale — perfect for a relaxed dinner, a family gathering, or even a special date night. The food? Exceptional. Every dish tastes fresh, vibrant, and made with care. The grilled meats are tender and flavorful, the mezes are beautifully presented, and the Turkish bread is warm and addictive. If you love authentic flavors, this place delivers every single time. Their Turkish breakfast spread is also a must-try — generous, colorful, and full of traditional flavors that transport you straight to Istanbul. The service is just as impressive — attentive, friend

Amazing atmosphere, I love the murals and decorations. Exceptional service that came with many good-natured jokes 😂 The food and drinks came out quickly, and were presented beautifully. The meats were flavorful and tender. Definitely a steady and reliable place to bring friends and family for celebrations and a good meal.

★★★★★ 5.0 Alivea Vento · Sep 2025

Top tier dining experience!! Extremely polite and attentive the entire time. Atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. The food came out in no time at all and was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were generous and well worth the price. It felt like I was dining at a friends house. Left full and satisfied, check Riva out of you haven't already!!
