Kabuli pillow (possibly wrong spelling) was the highlight, and best in town. In fact, it was so well prepared that we came back specifically from it. They claim to be the first and best afghani restaurant in town - and honestly this checks out. They have great starters/sharables too, best for me is always the betinjan (eggplant). I like the Mantu as well, but tbh, had much better mantu elsewhere. The highlight is the pillow. Just go there! Ambiance wise - very family friendly. Simple and quite interior, nothing fancy, great for families or parties who don't want much noise and just want to eat and enjoy a conversation. Great service as always.

Great selection of Middle Eastern goods; was happy to see دبس فليفلة which I haven't seen since I was in Syria and where it is made by the barrel in homes to last the year. The deli also manages good shawarma and the hummus is so delicious! I wish they were more generous with the side of it in the plate (was less than half full). The salad was tasteless; no salt/spices, nor dressing. A previous visit I purchased two cakes: one carrot and the other chocolate. The carrot cake didn't have any carrots in it (looked, but didn't taste like traditional carrot cake), and the chocolate cake wasn't good at all (bitter) except for the frosting. The 'espresso' based coffee was lukewarm and tasteless. The person put condensed milk in it which made it worse but he did remake it without charge. He kept calling me, mama, which was unsettling to me. I have a son less than half his age. I gave only 3 stars because of the overall ambiance and the discourtesy and unfriendliness of the staff. I didn't realize it, but nothing can be returned after two weeks; the manager, however, kindly did return three items.

The tilapia was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the whole meal tasted fresh and authentic. What made the experience even better was the atmosphere. It's an authentic, family-owned Greek & Persian restaurant, and the owner was there during our visit. He was absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. You can really tell there's a lot of heart behind this place. Great food, wonderful hospitality, and definitely somewhere I'd visit again!

We planned a surprise dinner party for my sister's birthday and the team went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Even in the midst of severe weather warnings! I have to give a special shoutout to Tiffany, who organizes their private events, for her attention to detail and for being phenomenal! She truly went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Also, our server Maddie and the entire staff were truly excellent! We ended up reserving their private dining room for our event. You can choose a set menu (three pricing options) or order à la carte from the menu. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly prior to making our choice. We went with the dining option that was $50 per person, including a choice of 3 spreads, 3 appetizers/flatbreads, 3 main proteins, salad, and 2 sides. Everything was delicious and the food was plentiful! Our personal favorites were Hummus, Falafel, Arugula Salad, the Beef Kabob, and especially, the Salmon Kabob! Their drink menu was also extensive and reasonably priced, including non-alcoholic options as well! I cannot recommend Raik enough! Tiffany and her team made the whole experience a dream. The food was incredible and flavorful! The inside ambiance of the restaurant looks very modern and stunning. There is also free parking on the street and behind the restaurant. I hope I can return soon to try some of their other dishes. I know it will be a phenomenal experience! Happy Eating!!

I put all the toppings added hummus and fries on the side. The fries were made to order. The service was exceptional. They guided me through placing my order. Now the layout of ordering food and paying area was tight. Meaning when you place the order. You have to step aside to let the other person go so you can get out of the way. If they can fix that part. It would be a smoother experience. The flavor and taste is there. They are on Door Dash. I would order from here again.

Fresh made pita bread, made in house in a huge oven on premises. And, you can watch the entire cooking process. Not only is the bread made fresh, but it is CHEAP. 2. Fresh made falafel to order. The falafel and fries are made as soon as you order, so let them know up front. 3. Dips are delicious. Regular and spicy hummus, and babaganoush are all insanely delicious and under $5 for a tub. Pairs perfectly with their bread. My only complaints is that meals are served in a flimsy bowl that sucks all of the moisture out of the hummus. I'm also not a fan of their reheated meats and slop-bowl serving style that America loves these days. Too bad, because the meat quality and flavor is good, but once it's reheated so many times, the beef, chicken, lamb, loses it's appeal. The ordering counter is crammed into the corner of the restaurant and is very stressful to maneuver if there is more than one customer. They seem to do mostly takeaway business, even though the dining room is spacious.

Awesome vibe and the owner clearly put a ton of money, care, love and passion into this place. It feels and looks so authentic. Food was delicious. I wish I remembered all the names, but ask for the appetizer with the filo dough and beef in it. Absolutely amazing. Apparently they are hand made by the owners wife everyday. We got the dinner entree for 2 which was plenty of food. We also tried the lamb entree since it was our first time. We have plenty of left overs for tomorrow which was the goal. The place was very clean, plenty of parking and the (normal) water they bring to the table is actually infused with stuff and very refreshing! Great spot for a date night or just getting some authentic food. Also great for pictures!

There's no formal dress code, so some tables were fully dressed in fancy outfits celebrating birthdays. While other tables were in sweatshirts and jeans. So just wear whatever you want. The small appetizer plate they bring out is good, I ate the flat bread with a hummus I ordered. The hummus is solid but I'd probably try a different dip the next time. I ordered the Salmon kebab plate. I was asked how I wanted my salmon cooked, and I said well-done. But how they cooked it was amazing! The salmon was fully cooked but still flaky and tender, and juicy. I found it flavorful enough, but there is a salt and pepper grinder on the table if you need it. It comes with a roasted tomato and a huge mound of saffron rice. I liked the rice a lot but it is a bit plain. If you want a more flavorful or interesting rice, you can add a different rice for $4. Those extra charge ones come with a lot more toppings like different nuts, herbs, or dried fruits. I'd like to try more different dishes next time, but what I was very satisfied by what I ordered. The restaurant is very dimly lit. The server was very nice and attentive. It's in a strip mall area so parking isn't hard to find.
