I craved Persian food because I wanted the comfort of feeling at home, with someone cooking for me, and Rivas delivered exactly that. The food was excellent—fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the cozy atmosphere added to the experience. The prices were very reasonable, and the portions were just right.

Family run, simple food but so tasty and so well cooked. Although a limited menu the food was all excellent. And great value too. The aubergine starter was very vice. My favourite was the vine leaves could of eaten lots of those. The chicken and lamb kebabs were so nice. They apparently even do a collection take out so I think we will be definitely eating there again. The Baklava was very nice and I don't even like nuts.

Wonderful restaurant. Fantastic food & atmosphere. Loved it will go back. Main courses £12 - 16.

Rivas Grill House offers an exceptional dining experience. The enchanting atmosphere, adorned with Persian rugs and lanterns, transports you to Iran. The staff is attentive, professional, and genuinely warm, enhancing the overall experience. The food is a culinary masterpiece, with perfectly seasoned kebabs, fragrant saffron rice and delicious appetizers like chicken wings and fresh salads. Desserts such as baklava with Persian black tea provide a heavenly ending. Each dish bursts with rich, authentic flavours and is beautifully presented. Overall, Rivas excels in every aspect, making it a must-visit for anyone who lives in Wakefield or nearby seeking the finest Persian cuisine.

A lovely family run restaurant and takeaway offering the most delicious Persian food. The owners are hard working, generous and friendly. The restaurant is immaculate with traditional decor adorning the walls and corners. We could tell that the food was cooked with love and passion. We enjoyed having mixed grill with rice and were very kindly offered some extras too - bread, chips and salad!! We strongly recommend this restaurant (which we have visited a few times as a family) serving healthy fresh food with love.
