Rivayat
Sujith Varghese, who also owns Spice Palette in Mount Pleasant, opened Rivayat on 18 September 2025 in the 60-seat room that earlier held Makan and Goulette. The venue says its three chefs, Vinayak, Vikas and Midhun, were all born and raised in Kerala on India's coast. The Post and Courier describes oysters with tandoori-spiced butter and lobster in coconut sauce beside butter chicken and lamb vindaloo.
