Frequently asked questions
What type of food is served?
rishis serves desi dishes built around spiced grills, curries, rice dishes, and naan-led meals. Guests typically browse signature plates first, then add sides or a deal.
What are the usual opening hours?
Most UK branches of rishis trade through lunch and evening service, but exact opening times vary by location - check your nearest store before you visit.
Do they offer delivery?
Many rishis locations support delivery through their own channels or major UK apps. Coverage and fees depend on your postcode and the branch.
Can I customise my order?
Yes - most rishis dishes can be adjusted for toppings, sauces, or sides, though not every item is fully customisable.
Are there vegetarian or vegan options?
Vegetarian-friendly desi dishes appear across the menu. Vegan suitability depends on cheese, sauces, and kitchen practice, so confirm with staff if you need a strict plant-based meal.

Some UK branches of rishis offer halal-friendly meat options, but it is not universal. Always check with the store you are visiting.
Are meal deals available?
Yes - look for meal deal or combo sections on the rishis menu. Bundles are typically cheaper than ordering every item alone.

Yes. MenuPick shows guide prices starting from around from £1.25, but city-centre or delivery mark-ups can differ by branch.
What should I order if I am new here?
Start with Rishis Special Briyani if you want a clear house favourite, then decide whether a meal deal saves more than separate sides.

Walk-ins are usually welcome, and many branches also accept online collection or delivery orders. Pre-ordering helps at peak times.

Budget-Friendly Choices at rishis
