Riz Raz

I had the vegetarian buffet, which was very good and reasonably priced. The lasagne was 90% lasagne plates and not very impressive.
Location is great in central Copenhagen.

I was here once before maybe 5 years ago so maybe I remember the buffet being bigger and more impressive. A vegetarian friend had brought me then and I was surprised at the variety and freshness. On this most recent visit it looked much smaller. Here is my breakdown:
–Rocket, tomato, and cucumber salad: good and fresh vegetables but it came with some white dressing mixed in. I would much rather have had the dressing on the side, and the salad would last longer anyway.
–Kale salad with cherries?: nice! not too chewy, as kale can get. The fruits were a nice touch.
–Hummus: good but better with more garlic and tahin.
–Tzatziki: ok, but I would prefer more garlic
–Falafel: crispy outside! pretty good but maybe some more salt and parsley
–Potato salad with yogurt: ok
–Pickled beetroot: looked very much like the kind from a jar, with some sesame seeds sprinkled on top as an afterthought. I do love pickled beets though so I did eat some of this.
–Oven-​roasted potato wedges: ok
–Red rice salad: ok
–Spinach lasagne: didn’t taste of much and I think it was unfortunately sitting out too long because the noodles had gotten so thick from soaking up all the sauce and steam.
–Mayo-​based pasta salad with peas: ok
–Fresh bread: seems like thin pita. not great, didn’t have much taste.
–Chili dip: pleasantly spicy, I ended up putting it on everything.
–Garlic dip: N/​A
–Oven-​roasted beetroot and parsnip?: N/​A
–Celeriac salad: N/​A
Although there are quite a few choices, they are a bit boring. I think the price (89 dkk for lunch, 99 dkk for dinner) is fair for the quality and variety, though I would personally like to eat somewhere else where the execution is better. Almost everything was… just OK. Most of what I ate was the hummus and falafel with chili in the pita. Though the falafel was crispy, there are so many places in Nørrebro that do it better and have great bread to go with it.
For the food alone, I would give 2 stars. Maybe you think I am being harsh but I volunteer at a folkekøkken where we make decent vegetarian/​vegan food and ask a fraction of the price. However the service was good and the place is kept very tidy, including the bathrooms. Our server was nice enough to give us the lunch price even though we arrived at 3:58pm and ordered at 4pm, right when it changes to dinner service. Although it is only a 10 dkk difference, it was very cool of him. Also they have some hand sanitizer by the buffet and all of the items are clearly labeled gluten-​free, vegan, or vegetarian. If you are a very hungry tourist or have vegetarian friends in tow, give it a shot.

I love Riz Raz! I’ve only had their buffet, but I think it’s great! It’s a vegetarian buffet (I’m not vegetarian, but there are many great options!).
I’ve been here many times with friends, and I think it’s the perfect place to go when you’re not really sure what you want to eat. They have a huge table & wall filled with different options, which are all super tasty. I especially love their lasagna & falafel.
I would have given them 4 stars, except I’ve had bad customer service here every single time I’ve been here. It always happens when it’s time to pay. I can never get a cashier to come to my table that I have to get up and find one, yet they still don’t come to my table until quite sometime. So it just seems to take forever to pay, or at least whenever I go.

Great vegetarian fare. Well, not great-​great but it is consistently good. Lots of salads, falafel, lasagna on a regulary-​filled buffet — so-​called «Mediterranean» — and friendly service. Lots and lots of huge Japanese tourist groups on this specific visit but they were friendly. Kids welcome. It’s alright and ok for the price.

Went here for dinner last night, expecting more bang for my buck. I had heard that the buffet was about $ 10, but I must have heard wrong because the dinner price was over 100 kr. That’s still pretty cheap for Copenhagen prices, but I would have enjoyed a fresh falafel gyro from a kebab shop for $ 5 way more. The buffet was small, but the food was decent. I abstained from the falafel because I didnt know how long it had been sitting out (and a summer working at a Mediterranean restaurant spoiled me with made to order falafel). The salads all had similar flavors, which were good but not unique. All in all I was underwhelmed. I would have given Riz Raz three stars if not for the bathrooms, which sorely needed attention. They looked like they hadnt been cleaned for a day or more.

The steak was a four star, the vegetarian buffet was a 2… Split the difference and say 3?
I had the .250 kilo filet — loosely translated 10 oz. came out medium rare — right on target. Good flavor, what we would call choice back home, not prime. I would guess wet-​aged at best or right out of the meat locker at two weeks.
The salad bar, was as mentioned before, not a lot of raw vegetables. Mostly veggie and pasta salads. The Caesar salad was 50% croutons. Maybe just the time of night. Not a huge selection.
Good regional beer selection on tap.
Service was… inefficient? Maybe they thought we had time on our hands? Maybe just inattentive. I was with my 12 yr old vegetarian daughter. All the plates from the salad bar stacked up before they cleared them (almost anywhere else in the world they notice you are away and clear them). When we were done and asked for the check they and disappeared. After 20 minutes I had to ask again. Weak.
Listened around to the neighboring tables. Didn’t hear a lot of Danish spoken. I am guessing it is popular with tourists like me, but not with the locals.
I would trust it for another steak with time on my hands, but don’t go looking for variety or veggie in a hurry

This was the best steak I have ever had! It was so soft and tender. I’m not sure if that’s customary overseas but it was so good!
There are no side dishes here you must purchase the buffet if you want sides with your meal. The buffet isn’t so great. It had some basic items like potatoes, corn and salad. Nothing to be too excited about. However the steak is all you really need anyway.
I would recommend the steak it’s delicious! As for the buffet it’s just okay.

Riz Raz was advertised in the Copenhagen map that was given to us at the hotel. We’d figured, why not give them a try. Their ratings were pretty decent and we decided to check it out.
For about 100 DKK, you’ll be getting the following (translated to English for you from their website)
Spinach lasagna with spicy tomato sauce and low-​fat bechamel
Falaffel, say no more! our tzatziki and hummus
Beetroot tossed with horseradish and apple vinegrette
Nudelsalat with Asian inspiration
Freshly boiled penne pasta tossed with herb pesto
Potato pizza with rosemary and parmesan like on the terrace in Tuscany
Tebouhleh with lots of parsley, tomato and olive oil
Green peas tossed with mint
Small potatoes tossed with rosemary oil and red onion
Okra Cajun Style
AND MUCH MUCH MORE …
Also for all you Americans out there, water is not free. This is normal in Europe because water is very expensive. Dish out another 20DKK for a pitcher.
The food was alright and the cost of the buffet was average compared to other locations in the area. We were able to skip dinner so this was a good place to fill up if you want to save some money.

Chances are if you’re a vegetarian and you’re visiting friends in Copenhagen, this is where you will end up, because let’s be honest: this country isn’t really known for its vegetarian movement. Carnivores really find it perplexing, this whole vegetarian kick, so you can’t fault them for suggesting this place, as they have little frame of reference.
I find this place a lazy way out, because by now there are more vegetarian options available in most Danish towns, and this cold buffet leaves me cold.
Like most all you can eat buffets, the restaurant piles on the cheap carb dishes and goes easy on dishes involving fresh vegetables which are more expensive and harder to maintain.
There are 2 locations, but this one is more scenic. The biggest plus is they have decent beer here, which is rarely a given at a restaurant, even in these days of better local microbrews and more openness to craft imports.
In all, you should ask your Danish hosts if you can go to Magasasa or one of the decent Thai places instead. You will be much happier.

buffet bien garni avec beaucoup de légume et autre tel que pâtes boulettes sorte de samossa etc vous pouvez commander votre viande (pas de cuisson bleu) bonne et en quantité leur bière est un peut chère mais bonne (elle est maison)

eher egales «studentisches» ambiente, dafür aber ein solides vegetarisches all you can eat-​buffet mit großer auswahl und durchweg gutschmeckenden sachen.
man kommt hungrig und geht pappsatt — so soll das sein.

This restaurant has an amazing vegetarian buffet for just over EUR10 — a great value and lots of delicious options. There are hot and cold dishes, including lots of salads — favorites like hummus, veggies, pizza, lasagna. Come hungry because it’s all-​you-​can-​eat, and you’ll want to try everything!
There are two locations — this one is between the Round Tower and the Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke) on a very pleasant, quiet side street. The other location is on a busier street parallel to the Stroget.
