This place is definitely a hidden gem! its in a strip mall by a hair salon and subway. Their kabobs and rice are to DIE for! The meat is always great and so flavorful! Only thing I wish changed was their sides. If they had better side options I would defiantly give them a 5/5. But a big part of middle eastern foods are the great sides... Also I've heard great things about their pizza but have not had a chance to try them. But they always look great and I come by to pick up lunch. Definitely worth a visit here! read more

Simply the best grilled chicken and salad in L.A. I've been getting take out from Rafo's for years. Rafo is just the nicest guy, he even made lentil soup from scratch for me one time *while I waited* (!) I usually get the grilled chicken breast plate - generous portions (usually more food than I can eat in one sitting). The chicken is always grilled perfectly and the salad vegetables are always very fresh. I'm addicted to the homemade garlic salad dressing. It's very obvious that Rafo takes a lot of pride in serving fresh, healthy, well prepared food. read more

This place did not disappoint! Amazing Armenian pizza and excellent service! Will order again

I really wish this place had good food but every time I come here I'm disappointed. I live close by so I keep giving them a chance. They always have 10 guys just sitting inside doing nothing and they still can't make a decent plate of food. Please guys start caring more and try and make your food taste better. read more

Great place if you enjoy good Mediterranean food as well as catching COVID! Staff is excellent at making sure every guest will be infected with coronavirus. The measures they've taken to ensure this include: servers wearing masks as chin-guards only, the cook/owner letting his nose breathe all over everything cooking--just in case the air wafting with COVID wasn't enough. The man who rang up our order did wear a mask, only once I came in. The food itself is good as you can see from the reviews; it and the high covid infection rate make this a great place to go to if you enjoy believing COVID is a sham, but if you're dumb enough to be one of those people, I doubt you will have made it this far into reading my review, since you so clearly cannot read statistics and factual evidence. Cheers!! read more

We just survived school finals in this household and I had been collecting take-out menus from various restaurants so we can have something other than pizza delivered to our door while studying. Rafo's cafe won the vote out of 20 other places. We ordered a couple of sandwiches, a Lule plate, and a Donner plate. I asked if hummus was included or extra, the guy said he would throw some in for free, nice! He was very patient as he took my order, he said 40 minutes for delivery. It was closer to 50 minutes, but he managed to find the apartment without calling me a bunch of times, so... The food was great, even better than last time. The donner (shwarma) was delicious, the lule was juicy. Not everyone likes jalapenos, but they work with the food. But the dressing, hummus, and tzatziki sauce were freshly made. They even served a grilled tomato, mint, and persian cucumbers on the salad, fresh veggies just compliment the meat so well! My boys could barely finish their sandwiches (wraps), they were so full of meat! It was a really good quantity of really good food. And I take back my previous comment, it was certainly a great value! We are hooked! read more

I really like this hole in the wall. The owner is super friendly and approachable which is nice to see. The food prices are in par with other similar establishments and the portions are large. I know that there are a lot of options in the neighborhood but its nice to support a business operated by good people. We will be back again! read more

This review is for the Mediterranean food, since no one in our party had the pizza. The food is overpriced for what you get (yes, the prices are higher in-store than what's represented online). My party ordered the plates, which come with the protein, rice, salad, hummus, and pita. Everything is served in styrofoam, and the pita is store-bought and comes cold. The flavor of the meat was fine (though I almost broke a tooth on a bit of bone), the sauces are good. If the prices were lower I would have given the food a 3-star rating, but you can get MUCH better Mediterranean food for what you're paying at this place. Everyone else keeps commenting on the good service, but it was very standard and transactional in my experience. read more

Amazing food! My lunch plate was so carefully prepared, like those only crafted from love. The food was like something they would feed their own family. Everything was so fresh, flavorful, and plentiful! My lunch plate yielded enough leftovers for dinner. My only regret is that I waited so long to try Rafo's. read more

This place is the best! The guy I order from over the phone is always so nice and he even put all salad with my salmon plate dinner instead of salad and rice. I didn't want rice so having more salad was great! The salmon was so big and delicious too! I've ordered from similar places around town but think I'll stick with Rafo's when I'm feeling like Mediterranean food. Thank you, great cooks and nice delivery person! read more

Confusing name of the place turned out truly amazing place to eat. I do like Mediterranean kabobs as well as I love pizza so much and this place have both. So I had beef luleh kabob and my friend Alicia had simple Margaretta pizza. Luleh came with rice, side salad and 2 pretty big yummy luleh. Meat is awesome and full of flavor with all the spices you can imagine. I also asked for some hot sauce and guys truly nailed it, little hot, but that's what I liked the most. I was so full didn't even try Alicia's pizza, but she's saying it was good. She is so laconic. read more

Best pizza in town! Don't let the name or "hole in the wall" look deter you. Thin and foldable..perfect pepperoni..soft crust. Call in your order and pick up in store for great pricing..Always quick and hot. Haven't tried the other menu items but they look amazing. read more

This place has become my favorite lately, it is clean food, love the beef, my puppy and I can not get enough of this place, guys are friendly walking distance from/to home, just the right portion and price. read more

Excellent local restaurant , the place is clean, the service is very friendly and the food is spot on. Prices are on par or lower then most similar restaurants. The only down side is that hummus does not come included with the kabob plates. Try the Armenian pizza, was the highlight of the meal. read more

We love Rafo's! It is delicious and they deliver!!! Lule or chicken kabob plates are amazing. We also like the Greek Salad with grilled chicken kabob added - delicious! We like the donner kabob sandwich also. Order with hummus and cucumber yogurt. Amazing affordable dinner. Pro tip- We order three plates to feed four with leftovers. Also, Rafo's is a take out place - they have a small area for dining in, but we prefer our dining table to their spot. Rafo - please add shirazi salad to make dinner even more delicious!! read more

I work next to this cafe and their food NEVER disappoints. I always recommend this place to my clients while their waiting for their hair to be done. They even did catering for my nephews birthday and we've never ran out of food so fast. Amazing food read more

Got the chicken sandwich with spinach, tomatoes, mozzarella with a size or tzatziki sauce and it was amazing. Made perfectly. Price was $10, but the portion was large with lots of meat and cheese. I will be back soon read more

I love this place. Perfect hole in the wall joint. I always get the veggie plate. It's just so good and hits the spot every time. I try to get it every time I work in Burbank. read more

This is located in the corner lot with a subway, liquor store, smoke shop, etc., so parking can be a hassle. I really like the quality of the food here, but I always order to-go and they almost always mess up my order. I always order yogurt cucumber salad with my lulu kebab plate and one worker always forgets, I always have to check it's in the bag and he always gets surprised I ordered something additional. Sometimes they give me a tomato (supposed to be included), sometimes they don't. And they never offer me sumac. I still get food here regularly because it's really good, but I wish they payed more attention. read more

I was out with my brother, trying to find somewhere to eat (the Burbank Poquito Mas was way too crowded), and Rafo's Cafe popped up on Yelp, so we gave it a shot. I'm glad we did because it was really good! If it were closer to me, I would go there often. I ordered the Vegetarian Plate, a very generous portion of grilled vegetables, rice, salad, corn, etc. My brother got the Grilled Chicken Breast Plate. We pretty much sat there in awe at the quantity of food after being so used to getting ripped off. It was all really good. The hummus, which was served first with pita to soften the wait, was probably the best hummus I've had. I'm never super impressed by hummus, but I would have bought that stuff in a jar if I could have! It's a tiny place, nothing fancy, but it's clear they care a lot about their food, and that makes it an awesome little restaurant hidden in plain sight. I definitely want to go back! read more

Super small, pizza had a nice think crust and good portion of toppings. Chicken and beef kabob plate was well sized. He brought me a warm pita before my meal and when my meal arrived the humus that came with it was good. Chicken was a little greasy for my liking. Didn't find much flavor in the rice. Average price. Service not the best but its a orderand sit type of place. If I where to go again maybe try a pizza with medditerian toppings. read more

As a Burbank residence I can tell you so far the is no better Mediterranean food better than here. I love their bbq plates, specifically the chicken is soooooo good. Thank you guys. Definitely try it out read more

Went here for the first time today and got a caprese sandwich and grape leaves. The sandwich was fine, can't go wrong with mozzarella and pesto in general, but the grape leaves were PHENOMENAL. They're oily (but it's olive oil, so I'll pretend it's healthy) and just full of flavor. The sauces impossibly make it better. Consider this the first day of my obsession. read more

Came here on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Everything had the mom and pop vibe going from the way they took your order to the light banter between the cooks in the kitchen. It is no lie that the food comes our fresh. I definitely noticed it in the quality of the salad (cucumbers and tomatoes) they provided. The pita bread was fresh and slightly crisp which added a nice texture. I ordered the grilled chicken plate which was more than enough for two people. The meat could have used a little more seasoning though, but maybe that's the whole point of it being a healthy spot to eat. Can't wait to try their Armenian pizza and breakfast pizza which looked delish. Prices are great especially if you get a sandwich. Definitely recommend to the locals read more

Rafo's serves amazing Persian food (meat, rice, salad) along with great pizzas. These aren't foods I'd generally pair, but both are of equal excellence. We have never eaten in the restaurant, as it is the perfect spot for takeout. We are in a bit of a rut, as weekly we order the beef lula plate and a bbq chicken pizza. Both are so very good. The salad is excellent as well--a simple mix of fresh lettuce, Persian cucumber, and tomato with their delicious dressing. Both the pizza and lula make such great leftovers, so we have gotten in the habit of ordering extra. This place is a gem. The service is fast, prices reasonable, and food consistently great. read more

This is the real thing. My friend and I ordered the chicken kabob plate. The food arrived and it smelled delicious and they gave us a generous portion of chicken, rice, and salad. The basmati rice was well-flavored and the chicken was moist and savory. The hummus was good, it almost had a lemony taste to it. Good, fast, & friendly service. read more

Clean kitchen, polite and friendly staff. Chicken tasted good, bread was dry, little tight on the babaganoush (?). I was also expecting some dolmades or falafel in the veggie plate but it was just a box of grilled veg. No frills kabob joint - pizzas looked pretty good though! read more
