This is an average, run of the mill, Indian buffet. It's a bit on the small side as there are not a lot of options bits basic. Price is reasonable and the fresh naan are good. read more

My husband and I went here for their lunch buffet. First off, the restaurant looked empty. There was one couple and that's it. They seated us and the table was dirty. I tried to get the greeters attention, but he was busy on his phone. So, we went to check out the buffet and the food looked unappetizing. We left immediately. Would not recommend. read more

Very chill atmosphere ; loved eating here earlier today. The food was excellent! All the curries and masala's were quite flavorful! The vegetable dishes were amazing! Also enjoyed the fried fish and potato pancakes! Garlic Naan was buttery soft and delicious! The server was very courteous and provided great service; soda had free refills too! Will be coming back to this place again soon! read more

My favorite Indian food restaurant in I.E. We ordered two dishes for takeout because we've heard a lot of good things about this place. It totally lived up to the hype. We ordered one andra kara masala dosa and one fish biryani. The dosa was not crispy because it's a takeout order but it tasted really good. I liked that they gave us 4 different sauces and sambar (soup) for the dosa. The fish biryani was the bomb!! So many different layers of flavor. It even included an boiled egg. How sweet. If you are in the area and love Indian food, this is a must try. read more

The restaurant is nice and the people who run it were very efficient and kind. However, the food was not great; It tasted old. They made my husband a mango lassi with no sugar, but they did remake it. They were having a quinceanera there at the time, so that might be why the food was old. I believe they might've gotten it from the buffet from the party - which is kind of gross. So, bottom line there are so many other Indian restaurants in the area, I would rather try them than go back there. read more

They provided so little food that many guests went home hungry. There couldn't be any worse than this. Never go there for party.

Was a regular customer for the buffet, just found out they stop doing it. Everything on the buffet line was delicious,

After a long time, I had really nice Punjabi food in Riverside CA. @IEYELP if you are reading this definitely do a Yelp event at this location, our Elite crowd will love it. The owner is very nice and most of all the customer service is awesome. Do I agree that this restaurant should have a very extensive menu, absolutely NO! Cause guess what! I feel if a restaurant is good in a specific type of cuisine then they should stick with it and scale their business accordingly instead of offering cuisine from every part of India and not being exclusive in any dishes. Hence the 4 stars. But their Punjabi Northern Indian cuisine is I would say! the best in the entire Riverside County. I have been to several Indian restaurants but this food was exceptional. Do visit them. Most of all they don't have a traditional name for their restaurant. They have a very unique name, 5 Rivers. It means that there are 5 major Rivers of India and they all meet at one place which is at this restaurant. So the owner created this name with a very thoughtful mind and not giving a very generic name to a Indian Restaurant in America. As I said they have an extensive menu but order their Northern Indian and you won't be disappointed. The owner and the customer service is good. The food is phenomenal. Prices are as per inflation so it's definitely high, but it's high everywhere. Even at my local taco stand it's high! Go visit 5 Rivers and you won't be disappointed. read more

Used to come here for the buffet but now it's gone so unfortunately I need to go my other regular spot

There are no words to describe how delicious the food is at 5 Rivers and how welcoming every single staff member is as soon as you walk through the (beautiful) doors! I've been wanting to come here for dinner as soon as I heard an Indian restaurant opened in Riverside and my expectations were exceeded by far. Every single dish I tried - gobi manchurian, dahi vada, the classic chicken masala, shahi paneer - had a unique flavor profile that made each dish different from the rest. The chef here is absolutely amazing at what he does and as an Indian who has eaten at countless Indian restaurants, I am so impressed with the quality and flavor of the dishes. My favorites were the gobi manchurian appetizer and the shahi paneer but you can't go wrong with ordering anything on this extensive menu. This is the best Indian restaurant in the area and it even has an attached hall with gorgeous chandeliers for large scale events! read more

I came here for lunch and had the Lamb Tikka Masala with garlic Naan.... Omg...the flavors just took me out to there country. I've been to a few Indian restaurants and have not been as authentic as 5 Rivers cuisine. They also have a buffet option if you'd like to to try other dishes to get familiarized with they're delicious food from the South and North side. They have great space and customer service. The chef there came out to make sure everything was tasting perfect! Thank you for a great experience! Will definitely come back and refer friends and family read more

Delicious food and great service. The dosa was so good and everything tasted very fresh

Wonderful new Indian spot in Riverside and much needed! Was pleasantly surprised! Lunch buffet special didn't disappoint, lots to choose from. They make fresh naan cooked to order for every table, Staff is friendly and helpful. All the sauces you can think of (tamarind is my fav) and very clean calm atmosphere. Water is cold and filtered.

Today was my First time here. I tried the Samosa and the Paneer Butter Masala All I can say is, I was not disappointed. The Samosa was crispy and cooked just right and the potatoes inside with the herbs where delicious. Mixed with the dipping sauces it was fantastic. Then I had the Paneer butter Masala.( Medium Spice) Let me tell you. It was creamy full of flavor with the Masala flavor that is world renowned and the cheese was cooked to perfection. I was trying not to moan while eating. Haha I urge y'all to try this place so worth it. I'll be back soon. read more

After half a dozen experiences, we can say that the food is always excellent, with a great and unusual number of choices of regional cuisine/dishes. We have eaten both familiar foods and tried some new to us. Plus, the kitchen will tailor the heat level to our preferences, spicing each dish as we wanted (we have family members who are into heat and member who are not). The staff is always friendly and kind. The restaurant is warm and welcoming. When we order for pickup or delivery, our food is always ready and in-hand as promised. If you are a fan of Indian food, you cannot go wrong with 5 Rivers Cuisine of India. read more

First time here food is delicious. Service is very attentive and helpful The spice is JUST right We will be back delicious !!!!!! It is a little warm inside but very clean and the Indian music videos are fun read more

Best Indian food in Riverside by far! We are in person so everything was super fresh and delicious. Excellent service from the start by a very attentive and thoughtful staff. We were impressed by a very extensive menu with plenty of offerings from South and North India. All of our meals and appetizers were absolutely perfect. The flavors were impressive and well balanced. The naan was crispy and flavorful. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! read more

This is my first time eating here but I'll be back for sure. I want to share this with my friends. The food was delicious hot and fresh. I had the butter chicken and garlic naan and of course rice. I truly had to stop myself from eating so I wouldn't get too full. The service was quick and very friendly. It could use a little more ambiance but it felt clean and fresh. I can't wait to come back and bring friends. read more

If your sick of the same old food they serve at most places and you want to step over into a new place that will wake up your tastes buds , than look no further. I know most people aren't familiar with Indian food but trust me when I say they don't skimp on ingredients here.. the garlic naan bread smells so good I wished they bottled it at as a scent for my house. The chicken tika Marsala is so good it's like an explosion of flavors. Don't let the outside fool you , this food is so amazing you'll love it ~ great service , amazing food and quality taste, love it read more

We were in Riverside to run some errands and decided to get some Indian food. The good reviews of 5 Rivers brought us there. This might have been the best Indian food we've ever had. The wait staff and cooks were so helpful and welcoming. We started off with a couple Taj Mahal lagers, which were light and refreshing. For an appetizer we had the Samosas, they were light and crispy with wonderfully seasoned veggie filling. For our entrees we ordered Chicken Korma, Tandoori Chicken Tikka, Vegetable Biryani and some garlic Naan. The food was prepared perfectly, and the portions were extremely generous. The Chicken meat dishes were super tender, and the flavors were through the roof. The Rice and Naan were both outstanding. I could go on and on about our experience. The best thing to do is go and experience it for yourself. I could not recommend this business more highly. Thank you 5 Rivers!!! read more

Excellent, excellent Indian food, highly recommend. They seem new, like they recently just opened, so give 'em a try! I tried a few different things from the lunch buffet ($19.99 btw) and all of them were great. Chicken masala, paneer, veggies, rice, etc. If you're a fan of Indian food, you know the good stuff. If you're not, then I highly recommend trying the chicken masala, can't go wrong. All the staff there were courteous and kind, you can tell they are very genuine people and commit to their service. Will definitely be back and try out some more! read more

This place is Amazing!! The food is delicious, and even better it is a buffet style. So, you can really get a true taste of INDIA. The Flavors of these dishes are Authentic, and soo comforting. Meats are cooked perfectly, tender & juicy. Nothing was overcooked. I'm truly a happy Buddha today. (: The service was great too, & what a nice local Indian family. Come in and support 5 Rivers today! You will be super happy that you did! 5 Rivers/5 Star. read more

If you love Indian food, you must try this place! If you've never had it, this is the best place to start. Excellent fresh and tasty with just the right amount of spice. They have a daily lunch special and are flexible if you prefer to substitute for a different item. The garlic naan is amazing and you get a good amount. We got the samosas as an appetizer and mango lassi to drink. Just look at my fotos! Everything was on point including the service. Don't hesitate...come try this place. read more

Amazing Indian Food. We have been here a few times and the food is always the same quality. read more

This place was suggested by my wife's coworker. We are so happy we went. Some of the most flavorful food we have tasted. The tandoori chicken was so moist, the butter chicken is the best around. The stand out dish is the mixed grill platter, which k is a little bit of every meat, including lamb chops and shrimp. Great selection of Indian beers. We will be back to this restaurant again! read more

Amazing variety, great service. Went for dinner but can't wait to try the lunch buffet. Check out how extensive the menu is! And the tandoori chicken is not dry which is usually what I've gotten in the past. Looking forward to exploring other dishes soon :-) read more

Was visiting CA and friend's family and mine went to this totally new, 1st time ever 5 River Indian Cuisine. Welcoming place, large, really cool looking, spacious and clean. We were 13 people including 5 kids. Arranged the table right away, and were provided menu. We ordered A LOTS of food... I will be honest here, Methi Chaman Malai was OK, but rest of the food was simply superb. We got there around 8pm and were done by 10:30pm. Their place was closed at 10:00pm,but they never told us nor hinted us in anyway to leave. Food was cooked really good, high light was the Panner Masala... OMG! So delicious... Everything was cooked fresh, could tell by the taste of it. Kids were super happy and so were the adults! I would recommend this place to my friends and family. Check them out! read more

Ordered take out (2) butter chicken and (2) garlic naan which came with complimentary rice. First off $80 is pretty much nevertheless tried to have an open mind. Found a hair in one of the butter chicken containers was right there when we opened it , there was also another hair in the rice! I've never had bland Indian food until now the butter chicken had no flavor at all, rice was rice, the naan bread was not good either no garlic. Very very disappointing slightly became depressed while eating it not gonna lie was really excited to try this place out, never again. read more

Great authentic Indian food after a long time!! The ambience is good and great customer service. The best part is the variety that they offer! Not many Indian restaurants offer that option. I would recommend to everyone looking for tasty Indian food that you seldom find in Riverside area!! P.S: They offer lunch buffet which is a great way for non-Indians to taste different varieties of Indian cuisine!! read more

My husband and I decided to go to dinner today. At first glance of this place it was very nice, when we opened the door it as clean and we were greeted by two people and were seated. I took a peek at the menu there were food from the North and South of Indian! We ordered chicken Tikka with masla sauce, chicken curry,garlic nan and boneless chicken biryani. The food took a bit longer I can hear them making it to ordered! The curry was perfect so was the chicken Tikka! The garlic nan was so good. The biryani was good I'm just not use to the dish being on the sweeter side. All of the spices were medium. Just wish that they had asked me I would have loved it to be spicier. It came with a cucumber yogurt. I would love to come back for their buffet for lunch. It was a little pricey but the food was good. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. We got the lamb chops, samosas (the turmeric sauce and mint chutney sauce are so great!), chicken tikka masala, lamb masala, pistachio and saffron ice cream, garlic naan, Khata Metha Baigen, and white rice. All of it was absolutely fantastic. The Khata was surprisingly sweet and the chicken tikka masala was delicious. The service was exceptional, they were extremely nice and even got us a candle and 3 ice creams to celebrate my mom's birthday. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome here and I absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves eating delicious food. The best part is that the prices are beyond reasonable for the amount of food they provide. read more

Grand Taj - Khata Metha Baigen, white rice, chicken tikka masala - Indian Near Me - Riverside, California

Came in at 2 pm, it was an odd time but I was hungry! Due to the time, I had the place to myself and got extra attentive service. I requested recommendations for dishes I was unlikely to have anywhere else. I love Indian, Pakastani, etc. food and love trying new things so I was excited by how extensive their menu was with so many items I had never had before. The server recommended the chicken akbari and an eggplant dish with a crazy long name from southern India. Man oh man was it delicious! I could have done with it a bit spicier but that is on me for not requesting it so. I will next time. The layers of flavors in each of the dishes was amazing. I cannot wait to come back with friends and explore more of the dishes I have never had. read more
