Every dish tasted so fresh and full of flavor, and the whole meal felt warm and welcoming from start to finish. We got: FRESH BREAD WITH HUMMUS AND OLIVE OIL Complimentary and absolutely delicious. The bread was warm and soft, and the homemade hummus paired with olive oil was smooth, flavorful, and such a comforting way to begin the meal. Simple but done so well. FRESH OYSTERS Juicy, briny, and incredibly fresh. Each one had that perfect ocean flavor and needed nothing more than a squeeze of lemon. Such a refreshing starter. BURRATA Served with grilled vine ripe tomato, basil pesto, roasted red pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. The burrata was creamy and delicate, the tomatoes tasted bright and sweet, and the pesto added an herby richness that tied everything together. Every bite tasted fresh and vibrant. FRIED CALAMARI Crispy and tender with a fun twist from the banana peppers and olives. The extra tang and brightness from the peppers made the dish stand out, and the olives added great depth. A really unique and delicious version of a classic. LINGUINI WITH CLAMS Fresh local little neck clams with extra virgin olive oil and roasted garlic. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the broth was light but full of flavor, and the clams were sweet and tender. A comforting and beautifully prepared dish. PIZZA MARGHERITA San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and fresh parmigiano. The cheese pull was truly epic and the thin crust made this one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The sauce was bright, the mozzarella was creamy, and the crust had the perfect crisp and chew. So simple yet unforgettable. INSALATA ROMANA WITH MARINATED STEAK TIPS Romaine hearts with Caesar dressing, parmigiano, and croutons topped with tender marinated steak tips. The greens were crisp, the dressing was flavorful, and the steak tips were juicy and perfectly seasoned. A great salad that felt hearty and fresh. Everything at Rozafa was delicious, generous, and prepared with so much care. Service was fast and so friendly. We will definitely be back.

The only thing is their online menu and in house menu says lamb is an option, but all of the online ordering options do not include lamb.

Long story short stayed for two nights at the Hilton and had this meal (combo platter ) two nights in a row. Meats were cooked perfectly.

Only thing I suggest that could be better that the tahini sauce should be more creamy but the taste was on point. (Not part of the combo and I asked for it). I highly recommend this place!
