    Great place to eat, super clean, Food is so delicious! Staff is very friendly and helpful! Music on point too

    One more thing to add. They slice the bread into two separate layers which is perfect for reheating. Take off the outer layer and reheat it in the microwave (just so it softens up). Wrap the innards in aluminum foil and reheat in the toaster oven to your desired crispness. Then rewrap the innards with the outer bread layer that's been softened and enjoy. This really helps if you have fries inside. No one likes soggy fries. Love their chill vibe and great service even to the delivery people. Saw them warn several Ubereats drivers ahead of time that a particular order will take a long time to complete which gave them a choice to wait or take on another order. That particular order had 4 different drivers attempt to pickup until the final driver was willing to wait 20 minutes for the order. Found a new appreciation for the delivery people. Tip them. They wait for your food so you don't have to.

    As a Lebanese you'll never find a better more authentic Lebanese dish! Soooo yummy and fresh and rich. Every bites takes me to my fav place in lebanon. Quality of food is amazing! Love love love

    I used to live close by years ago when this place opened. I remember it being way better! The chicken is very small portion, but extremely greasy and fatty (such low quality meat)! They used to give two fluffy delicious pieces of naan. They included one piece of naan and it was flat, stale and gross. The salad was the best thing. The portion of the hummus was such a waste too, who eats that much? Probably because they want it to seem like it's worth the price, because it's not! I wouldn't come back!

    Fast casual tucked away in the corner of a small shopping center. Staff is super helpful, professional. I always order the shawarma from here, around 12$ can't go wrong with it, if you're in a rush and want quality food at an affordable price..

    Super hole in the wall place. The worker is super nice, my friend and I were sharing the plate that came with only one pita but they ended up giving us two. The grilled chicken was really good and toum was great too!

    Was this place ever called Western Chicken at a different location? Looks great!

    I'm fairly certain it was not. The owner used to be at Roro's before he opened his own place.

    Is the chicken shawarma fatty or lean? does it have skin and fatty pieces?

    Hello, the chicken shawarma is all lean mix of the chicken, light and dark meats but no skin. No fatty pieces added

    I love Lebanese, Israeli, and Armenian cuisine, so seeing it elevated in a modern fine-dining way…read morewas a lot of fun. The duck hummus, shawarma neck, and tuna kibbeh were all standout dishes. Why overpay at places like Raffi's Place, where the food feels overpriced without showing where the extra money went? Here, you can actually see the quality, creativity, and presentation that justify the price, and the packed dining room proves it. The only downside was that the waitress pushed an appetizer on us twice when we really didn't need it. Two entrées are more than enough to fill you up. Also, because the restaurant stays so busy, don't expect much small talk with the staff. It's very efficient and businesslike, but your food arrives quickly and on time.

Our server pushed for us to order another app/entree even after I told them that we were happy with the amount we ordered. Afterwards, when it was time to pay the bill they "accidentally" added a $315 bottle of wine on our bill which we did not order. This definitely impacted our overall experience negatively.

The restaurant has a really homey feeling inside, with about four small tables that make it feel cozy and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. My partner and I ordered the chicken shish kebabs with mejadra rice, salad, and sumac fries. Everything was delicious! The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

    The best Iranian food I've had (bar none) and probably the most delicious meal I've had this year…read morethus far! Raffi's Place was my most anticipated restaurant on my SoCal trip. The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!

The schnitzel was hefty and huge portions almost like 5 pieces of chicken. With the portion size it's a decent price for it. Highly recommend trying out this new taste.
