About me

Hi, my name’s Riaz ‘The Gamer’ Mohammed. I was born in England to Bangladeshi parents and currently reside in the beautiful seaside town of Brighton. Due to my parentage and love for exotic flavours I grew up eating a grand variety of dishes from all over the world. As a result I have developed a sophisticated palate which is respected and feared throughout the south of England. From Portsmouth to Brighton, chefs know that if I’m coming through their door then it’s time to step up their quality and speed up their service! After all, proving themselves to me may gain them the prestigious and elusive ‘10/10’ award, the highest honour a restaurant may earn. No restaurants have proven themselves to be worthy of such a title as of yet, so until then I will be forever hunting for the best cuisine in England and eventually maybe even the world… So follow my culinary adventure here, on Riaz Reviews!

About our scoring system

Here at Riaz Reviews I promise to give you my accurate, authentic and informed opinion on the finest food in Brighton & Hove. After years of development me and my team have created the perfect system to accurately analyse and evaluate all aspects of a meal. Service, presentation, the ‘Bill’ factor, drink selection, staff attractiveness, price and of course taste are just some of the hundreds of elements that are considered when calculating my final score. The score is then presented by a number out of 10, 10 being the highest. This impressive and innovative system allows anyone looking out Riaz Reviews to evaluate their dinner options simply by glancing at the page!

Goals for the future

My ultimate goal for Riaz Reviews is to create the number one reference for any and all nights out in Brighton and beyond. To that end I will continue to create Riaz Reviews whenever possible, improving my reviewing method and expanding my notoriety. Eventually me and my team hope that we can create an alternative to the fraudulent ‘Michelin Stars’. Who wants the opinion of a company that sells tires when you can have my wise and experienced palate to tell you the truth!

Our CEO

Financial support was provided to me by Phil, our CEO, when I was struggling to get Riaz Reviews off the ground. He can often be found in garden sheds, or doing ket at The Level.

Our CTO

A mysterious man, Bill™ was essential in developing the infrastructure that supports Riaz Reviews today. Without him Riaz Reviews would still be a dream in my head! While sighted many times in multiple spots around brighton, Bill™ remains a mystery to many and is an elusive figure in the Brightonian community.

Our Head of Social Media

Basir Is a legendary figure amongst the locals here in Brighton despite his residence in Lancing. Born in Israel and having stayed in many places as a child, Basir is as experienced as they come. He can often be found near North Street, asking strangers for ‘Bag Money’ although he can be hard to spot as his all black paraphernalia makes it very easy to miss him in the dark…
