Lamb Chop Plate Beef Koobideh (Luleh Kabob)

Mryjoya R.

A hidden gem in Burbank! It's a small café, but their food portions are huge! The lamb chops were massive and so tender, and I also loved the kabob. The servings were very generous! The service was great--staff were attentive and friendly. The ambiance was nice and quiet, perfect for just relaxing and savoring your meal. They also serve pizzas, which we haven't tried yet--but we definitely will when we come back! Ps: Their homemade white sauce is the perfect pairing with the meat! It's seriously the best!! ‍

Friendly staff and tasty meal. However, there were multiple people smoking outside, and the smoke started drifting into the restaurant while we're eating. I wish the owner wouldn't allow people to smoke right outside the restaurant door.

First impression walking in the guy upfront is really welcoming good customer service. I ordered the beef kabob with extra rice. The beef they used is flap meat which was nice and tender and had a really good marinate to it. The place is is located in a nice lil plaza will most def come back and this will be one of my top 5 spots kebob to go too.

One of the best Adjarskie Khachspuri I ever tried. I was offered to try the one with veggies and I am glad I did. Very Very good. Not too much cheese, double egg ( standard ) , just enough veggies and a great combination.

Honestly it's been a while since I've seen such top tier customer service. Took care of me recommended special dishes and made me an authentic Armenian coffee! The ambiance is amazing due to the cultural uniqueness. A must, a gem in Burbank!

Chicken Lule Kabob Plate, Beef Lule Kabob Plate

Sarah L.

I ordered dinner for my family from Rafo's Cafe last week because we wanted to try a different spot for Middle Eastern food. I ordered for takeout through their website, and I was concerned because it was around 7:10pm and they close at 8pm. Luckily, I was able to place an order and select a pickup time within half an hour. I chose the Chicken Lule Kabob Plate and Beef Lule Kabob Plate. Both plates came with two dense skewers of meat. I thought the beef lule was juicier and more flavorful than the chicken lule. Both plates had fluffy white basmati rice; they put so much rice that it made the takeout trays quite heavy. For one of the plates, I selected sides of hummus and yogurt spinach, which was my fave side from the whole meal as it was tangy and paired well with the chicken and beef lule. The hummus was alright and similar to what I've tried at other restaurants. On the other plate, I selected sides of shirazi salad and tomato & green pepper, which added some freshness to the meal, but overall, they were just fine. Also, each plate came with a piece of pita bread, which tasted better when warmed up. As for ambiance and service, I can't write much since I had a family member go pick-up the food. However, they reported that it was easy to find parking in the small plaza and received the food on-time. For the price, I think you get quite a lot of food if you order the plates. Two plates fed my family of 4 people. The online ordering system was convenient, too! I'm glad that I gave Rafo's Cafe a try, and maybe I'll visit in the future when I've exhausted my usual places.

Came to this spot for lunch a few weeks ago between appointments. It was a good decision. He was friendly the place was small but very nice. The guy there asked if my husband and I wanted a side plate or we wanted he can split the plate for us. I was very surprised not a lot of places i've been to offer that I appreciated that. Everything tasted very good, meat was juicy. Next time I'm in the area I would like to try their pizzas.

Menu looked interesting (they have pizza,sandwiches and Mediterranean Food) The pictures looked good so we decided to pull up and give it a try. Very Polite as we entered and it smelled so good. FYI the food was great and we will definitely be back

Love the Middle Eastern food here and the Chicken and Beef Kebab plates. You should also try the Armenian Pizza. Its really good and different from Italian pizzas. So we stopped here with my lunch crew after a meeting in the Burbank hotels. Great place to go for lunch. We ordered a medium Armenian Pizza and some Kebab Middles Eastern plates, and it was delicious. We got full fast, and needed a doggy bag when going home lol. Not surprising the portions are huge. Food is moderate in prices, and the people that work here are nice. I d come back again. read more

A saw this place while sitting at the light at Olive & Victory and thought "that looks like my kind of place" and thank goodness for my intuition! Rafo's is a good blend of pizza and Mediterranean food. On my first visit I got a small pizza and a beef lule kabob sandwich - a lot of food for 1 person, but both were kind of back-ups in case one wasn't good. Well, they were both great: the pizza has excellent crust with good flavor on the sauce. The beef lule kabob sandwich was sensational - I'd never had a sandwich like this, and what a great idea! A kebob plate on the go, in essence, and everything from the meat to the bread was excellent. I really recommend this sandwich! My second visit I had a chicken thigh kabob plate, and I enjoyed the chicken and the rice. Only issues: there's maybe 3 tables inside, so you could dine in there, but it doesn't take much to get busy (one visit when I was picking up food, all tables were taken). Other issue being the hummus, which myself and the other diners found pretty bland. Those things aside, give this place a try for a meal - you too will be pleasantly surprised! read more

Haven't had this good of a pizza in a while! If you're tired of the regular old pepperoni pizza, and you want to try something a little more adventurous, I recommend this Doner pizza! Meat, cheese, red onions, with tzatziki on the side...you just can't go wrong here. I greatly enjoyed the smokey flavors of this pie. The Margarita pizza was a safe pick on our part, a good pizza still, but underwhelming when paired with the Doner. More of a palate cleanser, if you will. The workers here were super welcoming and made sure that we were enjoying our food. Just for their friendly demeanor, I want to visit this spot again. The inside of the store is not too big and there are few spots to sit, so I'd recommend ordering to go if you don't feel comfortable dining in more intimate spaces like this. read more

But well , then we understand they don't actually have the pizza kebab. It's separate pizza from kebab , but guess what? They might not have it inside the menu but the cook said if you want they will make it for u as special order, these guys were super kind and caring.

I brought my friend here for her birthday. We sat down for 40 minutes waiting for the food to come…read more While I overheard the host tell the customer who just came in their food would be here in 15 minutes. I went up to the register to ask the server if our food was almost ready and he said "yeah, you guys have been her for awhile let me check". The same employee comes back to our table and tells us that their system was down and that our order was never placed. This was 11/27/2024. I thought I was over exaggerating so this was never written back in 2024. I am here again 3/ 15/2026, sad to say that a similar thing happened to me again. Over a year later and I am here patiently waiting for my food as I'm watching them bring out other people's food that came in after me. My order was placed 15:57. Thank god, I got up after 30mins to ask what was the status of my food. Their girl who appears to be shift lead saw me standing at the front and asked a guy who was here for a pick up how she could help him. She then walked away and left me standing at the desk. Thankfully, this younger gentleman (Coal) noticed me and asked how he could help. I told him I wanted to check the status of my food. He then went to the register and said he didn't see my order. It wasn't til this point that the blonde girl decided she was going to help me. She refunded my food, but how do you replace someone's time. I hope this place can fix whatever issue this or or is it plain racism as some workers pick and chose what customers deserve their attention.

We got the beef and chicken plate and Greek salad. This was enough for 3 of us to share! The beef and chicken were tender and marinated well.

I really enjoyed the meal and would recommend if you're looking for Armenian food!

Only note for next time: I'll ask for it a little more well-done (just personal preference... I like my chicken with a little extra bite ). The eggplant caviar was solid and a generous portion, but the real standout? The Caesar wrap. It completely lived up to the hype -- bold, flavorful, and honestly addictive. I almost ordered a second one to take home. Also worth mentioning: the son of the owner who took my order was super friendly and had great customer service, even with a long line. He kept things moving while still being engaging, which I appreciated. I was excited to hear they're opening a Studio City location -- I'll definitely be back. This place is a must. Get the Caesar wrap.

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!

I think they tried to press it cause it had a crispy bottom but even with a slop of garlic sauce in the middle, it didn't hold it together cause it was sooooooo dry. The $5 eggplant meze came in a large to go plate with pickles but also dry (how?!?). The $3 meat pie was cute but nothing special or nothing a proper pastry place can't beat. My order came with the traditional bag of pita (which is nice but all legit places do this); I'm only mentioning this cause I thought this changed with $3 pita side option on the menu. And they gave me the cute little baklava (2) they hand out as a freebie dessert (but also not as good as it used to be). Really really sad that it's nowhere near what it used to be almost a decade ago when I lived in Noho. I come here almost once every ~ 3 months and look forward to my takeouts when I get the chance, but after being disappointed consistently, not likely. Good luck tho! I like what you've done outside.

From the moment I stepped into Rafo's Cafe, I knew I was in for a treat. Nestled in the heart of Burbank, this family-owned gem exudes warmth and charm, inviting you into an atmosphere that feels like coming home. The owner, Albert, is a beacon of hospitality, greeted me with a smile that set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. I ordered the sausage sandwich and the chicken breast plate, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. The sausage sandwich was a symphony of flavors, with perfectly seasoned sausage nestled between freshly baked bread that was both soft and satisfyingly crunchy. It was love at first bite! The chicken breast plate was a masterpiece of its own. The chicken was cooked to tender perfection, accompanied by sides that tasted just like they came out of a family kitchen. What struck me the most was the freshness of the ingredients; it was as if everything was picked from the garden that morning. The preparation was impressively fast, a testament to the efficient and loving hands in the kitchen. Rafo's Cafe shines not only because of its delicious food but also because it embodies the essence of a family-owned business. There's a personal touch in everything they do, from the way they greet you to how they present their meals. It's clear they take pride in serving their community, offering a dining experience that's both heartwarming and satisfying. In a world where fast food often lacks soul, Rafo's Cafe is a beacon of fresh, high-quality, and fast-prepared meals. It's a reminder of how food can bring us together, creating moments of joy and connection. If you're ever in Burbank and searching for a meal that make you feel like a part of the family, make your way to Rafo's Cafe. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rafo's Café and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the service provided by the owner and his team was top-notch. The owner personally welcomed us, shared recommendations, and even gave us a fascinating history of his business. The food at Rafo's Café was a delightful surprise. The portions were generous for the price, and every dish was served warm and packed with flavor. As someone who has tried Mediterranean cuisine before, I found the offerings here to be unique and incredibly delicious. What stood out the most was the owner's dedication to ensuring we were well taken care of. He checked in with us twice during our meal to make sure everything was to our liking, which truly made us feel valued as customers. Overall, Rafo's Café exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with fantastic service and amazing food! read more

My favorite kebab Place!!! The chicken kebabs are amazing! They give you nice big pieces of chicken chunks with a nice sized portion of white rice. It also comes with a salad and the homemade salad dressing is to die for literally obsessed. Literally should consider selling the salad dressing in grocery stores. I also Love the tzatziki as well it has a nice little spice ad goes perfect with the chicken and pita. & to finally top it off the service is wonderful. All of the men who work there are so kind and hard-working. I literally go out of my way to eat there. 5 stars for sure. read more

Tried Rafo's for the first time the other day and was quite impressed. In the area, there's a ton of Armenian/Arabic/Persian restaurants, so the choices can be overwhelming. I ordered the chicken kabobs and it came with some salad and rice. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. I would definitely come back here again as it's a great lunch spot. The prices are fairly reasonable (especially for lunch) and the service is good. read more
