Ricah Persian Cuisine - Pennant Hills, New South Wales

Incredible Persian cuisine from the northern region of Iran🤤A unique experience unlike typical Persian restaurants—each dish is rich in authentic flavors and tastes just like a homemade meal from mom’s kitchen. Highly recommend🤌
However, they serve too much rice, which often goes to waste. It would be great if portions were more balanced.

Celebrating Nowruz lunch at Raika Restaurant was an absolute delight. The food, ambiance, and service transported me back to Nowruz trips along the Caspian Sea, with its rich Northern Iranian cuisine.

Dining at Raika was a perfect experience—the quality of both the food and service was outstanding. The rice was incredibly fluffy, and dishes like Sabzi Polo ba Mahi, Nardooni Chicken, and Kabab Torsh were all exceptional, offering unique flavors rarely found in other Persian restaurants.

Ms. Shahin was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to explain the dishes and ingredients in detail to help with our choices.

I highly recommend Raika—you’ll enjoy every moment!

First time having persian food I think. It was great I loved all of it.

We ordered the ricah mixed plate and it was enormous. All the meats were grilled perfectly. The chicken and lamb were so tender it was quite amazing. Saffron rice on the side was great.

The fasenjan was interesting the flavours were something I haven't had before which was the pomegranate sauce. Such a distinct dish.

Hepas of parking in the area may need to book sometimes as it's not too big of a shop. Though when we went early was empty. But dwfitely really nice food here.

We enjoyed the delicious kabab koobide and baghali polo va mahiche. The server was kind and patient, and the modern seating area was pleasant. However, there was an unpleasant smell upon entering the restaurant.

The Richa restaurant was an exceptional and delightful experience. From the moment I entered, the cozy and beautiful atmosphere, with its perfect lighting and stylish decor, instantly gave me a good feeling. The staff was very friendly and professional, quickly attending to our needs.

The menu offered a good variety, and the dishes were prepared with great care and artistry. The taste of the food, especially the chicken kebab and desserts, was outstanding. The fresh ingredients and high quality were clearly noticeable. The service was fast and timely, and I was very satisfied with my experience.

Richa restaurant has proven itself not only in terms of food quality but also for its excellent service. I will definitely visit this restaurant again and highly recommend you experience it as well.

One of the best persian restaurants around. The food was authentic and absolutely delicious. We ordered the kebab platter and stews and they were fantastic. Food came in massive portions. Friendly service and the place was clean and spacious.

We tried all the kebabs, and they were all excellent and high-quality. The marinated olives and eggplant yogurt were outstanding, as was the seasonal salad.

A few suggestions:
1. The Gheimeh Nesar could use more cinnamon, almond, pistachio, and orange peel. Traditionally, a little rose water is also added. However, the flavor, tenderness of the meat, and portion size were excellent.
2. For the Fesenjan, it would be better to use chicken drumsticks or bone-in chicken, as chicken breast tends to be a bit firm for this dish.

Overall, everything was excellent. Thank you for your hospitality!
