    Pepperoni pizza
    Eli L.

    The food is delicious! The service is great! The ambience is good for a quick bite. The food is so good that my son asked me to bring him more often.

    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!! ‍

    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.

    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.

    Khachapuri

    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.

    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!

    Veggies Khachapuri
    Vadim A.

    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.

    Beef and Chicken Lule Plate with Beef Kabob a la Carte
    Paloma J.

    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.

    Small but private dining area. Very chill Vibes

    So me and my wife were in the area and were craving some kind of Mediterranean Food and we found this place. 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

I had to go through the hassle of getting a refund from Uber Eats just to maybe get the right thing this time. Amazing. But you know what's really sad? You reaching out, not to own the mistake or fix anything, but to get defensive. Like, that's your move? Not "sorry we messed up," but "let me double down on being clueless." Iconic. If this is your idea of customer service, I genuinely hope your business thrives--in the same way Blockbuster did. Keep it up. You're one wrong order away from becoming a cautionary tale. ********* 2nd response: Looks like I struck a nerve. Also, the sarcasm going over your head is all I needed to know pizza boy..

Flavorful and packed with ingredients. The chicken alfredo was unique to me and very enjoyable, satisfying, and comforting. The BBQ chicken was sweet, with a well balances amount of sauce and topings. I can't wait to return and try their pastas, hoping that they will be as tasty as the pizzas.

This has happened multiple times, and the last two orders especially were disappointing. Both times, I ordered olives because that was literally one of the toppings I was most excited about, and they didn't put any olives on the pizza at all. Not a small amount... none!!! I opened the box expecting what I ordered and was honestly so disappointed when I realized they completely left them off. The same issue happens with mushrooms. When I order mushrooms, they put such a tiny amount that it barely feels like the topping is there. I don't understand why I'm paying for specific ingredients if they're either going to be skipped completely or barely added. The pizza itself is good, but this keeps happening over and over again, and it's becoming really annoying. I shouldn't have to check every pizza wondering what they forgot this time. At this point, the inconsistency is making me not want to order from here anymore.

We were given a complimentary garlic cheese bread to start and ordered a New Haven Clam Pizza and a Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken. The garlic cheese bread was just okay; the inside wasn't too tasty, but it did look very good... I was disappointed that this didn't live up to the potential; aesthetically it looked very good with a golden brown top lightly sprinkled with cheese. The Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken is quite the staple, and it was pretty tasty - the pasta cooked to perfection. The cream sauce was also very good. The large New Haven Clam Pizza was a surprise for me; it was a combination that worked, somehow - first time for me, for sure. I wasn't sure what to think of the taste, but it was good with the balsamic sauce that was included. I finished 3 slices and packed the rest to go, disappointed that it didn't come with the unused fig sauce. We enjoyed both along the wall at a booth that was dimly lit. Overall, I wouldn't rank this is high or low but definitely could have been better, and dessert confirmed this. We had the Butterscotch Budino, and it was everything a kid would've liked - a pudding layered in a centimeter of caramel syrup. I only ate a spoonful, and the second spoon was difficult. Paying was easy once a server was flagged down, and we were able to split the bill, too. After paying, the server didn't bring the pizza that was packed away unless asked. (Maybe I should've checked for the sauce here, too, just in case...) The real damage, though, was either the pizza, the fig sauce, or the caramel syrup, because my throat was gone within the next few days. While I did enjoy the ambiance, I unfortunately couldn't say the same for the food. This is going on the list of "not for me" :(
