Known for serving decadent heritage Indian recipes, Riyasat in South City Mall is now exploring a cuisine from a region rich not just in food, but also culture. Awadhi daawat and hospitality are famous since ages, and the restaurant is now set to serve delicacies from the region with 'Lucknowi Daawat'.

Shirni Nawab: The good old phirni, which is essentially a blended rice and milk pudding takes a fragrant turn in this dish that has dried rose petals for added flavour and aroma, along with pistachios for some crunch.
Mahira Babuli Kebab: Chicken kebab lovers can dig into meaty and chunky pieces of well-marinated chicken kebabs that have a lovely char on the outside and yet remain juicy on the inside. The aromas of the charcoal and the masalas together is irresistible.
Paneer Lazzat-E-Khaas: This gravy uses charred cottage cheese roulade instead of regular pieces of paneer, which is then cooked in a tomato and cashew-based creamy gravy that complements both rice as well as bread preparations. Brownie points for the drizzle of fresh cream on top.
