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.

The food is great service is great and so is the ambience. I highly recommend this place.

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.

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.

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.

Beef and Chicken Lule Plate with Beef Kabob a la Carte

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.

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

Chicken breast kabob with roasted tomatoes and peppers

Best food and service! Nine of us walked in and were served delicious food prepared fresh. They put tables together so we could all sit together and took the best care of us. Thank you for a great experience!

I've been coming here for years and the device is always 5-star. Food is sooooo good!read more

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!

I don't order very often from them.

Malek is the owner and always take good care of my ordered items: you can tell he wants to make sure his customers are satisfied ‼

What a wonderful gem to stumble upon while the hubs and I were out in Burbank!!! I'm so happy we…read morefound this on Yelp and discovered it was only 8 mins from where we were. It's located in a cute quaint shopping center. When you enter in, you're greeted with a nice smile from a lovely woman. I forgot her name but remember she is from Brazil and married to the other owner who is from Syria. She suggested several items that were dairy free and meat free. The items were delicious! Everything was so affordable and made fresh. There's also a grocery section and a small area to eat inside and outside. We felt welcomed and appreciated! I could tell she's someone who gets to know the regulars because a guy came in and she called him by name. I just love small businesses! We will ABSOLUTELY be returning because of the hospitality and the quality of the food. AMAZING FIND!!!
