The Verdict
Rivas, hidden inside a small neighborhood mall near Burj Al Arab, offers an authentic Iranian dining experience that lives up to its promise. The ambiance is simple and casual, but the star is the food. Their Kobideh is arguably among the best you’ll find in Dubai. They feature specialty dishes like the Jojeh Koohi and the Gardan (lamb neck) that are available only on Fridays and Saturdays.
