Love the atmosphere and food at Raik. Stopped in on a Saturday night and enjoyed dinner. Started with the hummus and flatbread was so fresh. Ordered the chicken kabob with roasted vegetables, the chicken was grilled and tasted great. The roasted vegetables which had squash and zucchini, roasted peppers and onions were also delicious. The service was excellent. Our waitress explained everything. Want to try their lunch menu I hear the shawarma is also good. Will definitely be going back. read more

Amazing food in a lovely setting near downtown Suwanee. We arrived a little later than expected so I felt a bit rushed but everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. We got the hummus and pita. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best hummus I've ever had. And I don't particularly like hummus! We also got the fattoush salad and the lamb skewers. The portions are generous so we had leftovers as well. There are a lot of Mediterranean restaurants in the Atlanta area but this is definitely one of my favorites. It's worth the drive. read more

Love that we found this spot. Service was friendly. Food was perfection. Drinks were good. It's not a huge restaurant but it's big enough and can be considered casual or romantic. The dessert was a big surprise. I never would have thought cheese would go with syrup and ice cream! It was yummy! The mixture of all of those items together kept it on the sweet side. I'll definitely be back. read more

Love the atmosphere! The happy hour is fun (bar only), Melissa was our bartender! She made the best drink (Detox Please), it was smooth, refreshing in 3 different ways and it had great eye appeal! Food was delicious, the dressings were fabulous- but Detox Please, I've told about to more people than I know! read more

This was our first visit and it did not disappoint! The space is beautiful and very clean. Our server, Johanna, provided excellent customer service. We ordered from the lunch menu and tried the majadera and chicken bowls - both were incredibly fresh and flavorful, with the perfect portion of chicken. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

I spent 1.5 hrs in rush hour traffic to get to Raik and it was sooo worth it! The staff was super welcoming and there is free and ample parking nearby, which is always superb. I ordered the blueberry lemonade, which was refreshing. My friends and I then started off our meal with the eggplant baladi and Palestinian Mhammar flatbread, which were both so flavorful and delicious. I ended up getting the chicken kabob with za'atar fries as my entree. Both were wonderful, of course, but I especially loved how tender the chicken. For dessert, we split the knafeh, of course, which was among the best knafeh I have ever had. Overall, I loved my experience at Raik and cannot wait to visit again! read more

Raik restaurant is such a good option for Mediterranean food. Their menu is extensive and has something good for everyone. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated and the ambience is quite lovely. The seating is very nice and comfortable. The service I would say is bit on the slower side but overall the food is the main attraction of this place. If I was talking to management I would tell them to get their servers to pay attention and make sure that their tables are taken care of. We started our meal with baba ganoush dip and fluffy pita bread. Their bread was nice and piping hot. Then we had their beef flatbread which tasted amazing. For my entree I had chicken kabobs with lentil and bulgar mix. My entree was great. Lastly in desserts we tried the chocolate cake with kunafe layers and that was pretty good as well. I will definitely will be going back and trying more food choices. I really enjoyed the food quality of this place. read more

This was a great experience. The space is bright and beautiful. They have live music on Fridays. We couldn't snag a last minute reservation so we chose to sit at the bar. Our service was excellent. I tried one of their winter cocktails, the sugar cookie espresso martini. It was delicious. We started off with the baba ganoush. The pita that comes with it is so light fluffy. It's one of the best I've had. I got the chicken kebab which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Hubby got the lamb, and it was a huge portion. He liked it a lot. I like the offer the lentil side instead of just rice. We can't wait to be back. read more

Went on a Friday night and enjoyed the atmosphere--nicely decorated interior with live music. We ordered the fried calamari, fried cauliflower, salmon kabob, and filet mignon kabob. The filet mignon was tender and super tasty, definitely the star for me. Our server was friendly and attentive. The calamari portion was small for the price and the pieces were cut a bit too tiny, and cocktail menu could use more variety. It was the main reason I'm taking a star off. Overall, good vibes and food, I'll be back! read more

You knew this place had the right atmosphere because of the parties who were just standing around and talking right outside the restaurant. Every course we had was impeccable. This ranks with some of the best Mediterranean food we have ever had. And our server was fast, friendly and made great recommendations. Another plus was outlet next to the table so that you can charge your phone or get some work done while you dine. But the atmosphere lends itself to a more romantic setting with a nice bar, soft lighting and nice, decorative touches. read more

You get more than you paid!!! RAIK has quickly become my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Suwanee. The interior design is stylish and well thought-out, giving off a near high-end vibe, yet the prices remain very reasonable for the value you get. The salad and hummus were fresh and flavorful, while both the chicken and beef kabobs were excellent. We came as a group of 10 with plenty of orders, yet the food arrived promptly, and our table was well attended to. The service is efficient, though not quite at a professional fine-dining level--something to keep in mind if you're planning an early-stage date or an important occasion, as you might encounter a more casual approach. That said, you can clearly feel the owner's vision throughout the restaurant--great location, delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and fair menu pricing. The highlight during my visit was the live jazz saxophone, which added a special touch to the evening. Considering all these positives, I'm happy to overlook the slightly less formal service at this price point. In fact, I left feeling that I got more than what I paid for at RAIK today. read more

Got the hummus, cheese rolls and lamb shank. THE HUMMUS WITH HOT HOMEMADE PITA IS A MUST!! The pita is fresh immediately brought to your table out of the oven.

Hummus alway great. I had the lamb which was delicious. Service for a large party was good.

Raik is beautifully decorated, I mean I was in awe of the place the minute I walked in! My friends and I shared a couple of dishes--fried cauliflower, falafel, and chicken kabobs with mujadara. Every single dish was made fresh and was hot! I would totally go back just for the mujadara, it was too god. Flavors were amazing and we had such a good time! Service was great, our server consistently checked in. Would definitely recommend!! read more

An exquisite interpretation of Mediterranean classics, where you can order all sorts of dishes you THOUGHT you knew well until Raik somehow made them so much more... just... awesome! By this I'm not saying that dishes are flourished to the point that they're something else. Quite the opposite: they're suddenly rendered into what they were meant to be in an ideal world. The result? I ate like a famished troll but somehow still walked out feeling light and clear. Just perfect. read more

This was our second visit here! Last time, weather was warmer so so sat on the patio. We decided to dine here on Feb 14, and the restaurant was not busy but had every table reserved for the evening. The tables all had a single stem rose and ceiling was being covered with balloons. We ordered a baba ghanoush - which came promptly with hot off the grill pita bread. Delish! I ordered the Beef kabobs and Mujadara and it was amazingly delicious! How ever, the grilled tomato was not grilled, at all. It was just a sad tomato half laying cut side down on my plate. My husband ordered a veggie kebab plate and when we got it, it had falafel on it. We of course had to return it and ask for the correct order. It took forever for the correct order to come back - but they had added falafel as a complimentary dish due to the delay. We also had the kunifa dessert - it was way buttery but pretty decent with the icecream. I would still come here because the food and service are quite good and so is ambience. read more

Great food in a beautiful restaurant. Food and drinks delivered quickly and the live entertainment was fun. Can't wait to go back and try more menu offerings, but it will be hard to beat the baba ghannouj. read more

Very Good food. Good service. Very good ambiance. They have live music on the weekends so for that alone I will be back at a different time of night. The first time we came we ordered the wrong things but after careful inspection of the menu we made different choices that included vegetables and we are so glad we did! read more

A good spot for business lunches. Nice deco, good presentation, good portion. Koobideh was juicy with bites, rice was good (can't go wrong with rice and that's like almost any other West Asian/Mediterranean places). Harissa offered was tangy with some kicks but not enough. Not so sure about dips (hummus and baba ghanoush), was quite forgettable as I can't recall anything that stood out. Salad options were hmm.. Skip the cucumber/mint refresher; was too watery with not much flavor. Sloooooooooooooooooooooow service. read more

Gave it 5 stars when we came for dinner, and commented how I'd like to try the shawarma for lunch. Finally got around to coming here for that. Ordered beef shawarma bowl. It was amazing. Ordered hummus and some hot sauces to try. All were extraordinary. Everything is made here, and very fresh. I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Loved everything about this place. Hope the owners stay on top of the staff to keep up the great quality and delicious food. Legitimately the number one Mediterranean/Arabic food spot in Georgia. The food was fresh and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. Fried Kibbeh: Number one fried kibbeh in Georgia, they stay true to the original recipe and it tastes amazing. Chicken kabob: spices were so delicious and tasty, definitely a good change from the blah Persian kabobs scattered all over Georgia. Loved the white rice that was included, not your typical Persian Basmati, this was true Arabic style rice, loved that it was moist and not caked up and dry. Zataar fries: these are a must, I got them to go and they were still crispy and delicious. Can tell they are hand cut. I suggest you ask for a side of their dill sauce, it goes well with the fries. Staff was A1, girls at the front desk were extremely welcoming. Gentlemen at the bar answered all of my questions in detail, took my order, and offered me a water until my takeout was ready. Felt welcome and comfortable. Will definitely return! Ambiance and environment are beautiful, and the place is kept very clean. Would definitely come back with a party and enjoy their dining room next time. read more

This location is the one next to town center in Suwanee. Very convenient walk to the Square. They have outdoor patio seating or inside seating. The restaurant inside is very beautifully decorated. I love the wooden accents and chairs, and they did a great job on the design. The food is very colorful and pretty however the taste to me fell short. Most of our friends don't like to eat lamb because it has a gamy taste to it. For some reason all the meat items we ordered had that same taste, which was quite offputting. The best thing on the menu that we tried was the pita bread. It tasted like it was homemade, so soft, fresh, fresh, and hot out of the oven. The eggplant baba ganoush was very pretty with tiny bits of pomegranate to give it a pop of color and green olive oil. My only complaint was that it came out very white and creamy and didn't have much eggplant in it. The baked pita was a great start to our meal and then everything else went down from there. We ordered the fried calamari, which in their pictures look very crispy, but when we received it, it was very oily and lightly battered. Which made it so it not crispy. The dipping sauce was half of the plate. The serving size was pretty small for the calamari in my opinion. We ordered the beef 2 of each Shawarma bowl and chicken Shawarma bowl. To our surprise, the chicken Shawarma tasted exactly like Lamb meet. Our friends do not like to eat lamb when we asked if we can switch the plate to just a plain salad with no protein, the chef was glad to do it. He did mention that the lamb is cooked on top of the chicken so there may have been some cross contamination in flavor. I hope they change the process they cook it, because that could be a big issue for lots of people. Both salads we tried on the menu were very refreshing, colorful ,and good. The lunch sandwich is really a wrap and not a sandwich. It's a whole stuffed pita cut in half. They do pack it with a lot of protein, but very little vegetable. It comes with a side of French fries. The french fries tasted a lot better than the pita sandwich itself. The fries tasted very similar to five guys french fries. Overall, the taste in food was why we gave it a two everything else was OK.. service was just fine, we had a newer-young server a little unexperienced, but that wasn't an issue at all for us. read more

Our waiter was amazing and extremely helpful. The appetizers were all good but the entrees were a little disappointing especially the beef kabobs. They were dry and soooo tiny, just not worth the price. Overall it was nice to try somewhere new but I don't think it's worth going a second time. read more

I had dinner (table of 7) here this past weekend with family friends. A couple of us were visiting from Texas and 1 from England and this was one of the best places we ate! The food was delicious and the service was amazing! Sabreen was our waitress and she was so very patient with us as we dealt with some group negotiations on who would actually pay the bill. :-D She was attentive, kind, energetic, and thorough. She even brought the itemized bill to us to review prior to accepting one of our older auntie's credit cards so we could verify everything for her. I highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for Mediterranean food! read more

Amazing experience here! The service from Jelisa was great. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The food was incredible, but the mujaddara was definitely my favorite. Everything came out fresh and delicious. I will definitely be coming back. 5 stars! read more

I have been a customer since they were first open. The last two visits have been unsatisfactory. The service has been poor, the staff have little knowledge of the menu and the food quality has gone down. Yesterday my experience was poor. The wine I ordered was off. I took the glass to the bar and explained what was wrong and to give me a fresh pour. The bar tender , a very young person with no wine experience smirked as I was explaining. While she did pour me a fresh glass from a new bottle her expression was condescending. From there the food quality was not worth the high price. We will not be visiting again. That was twice disappointing . read more

Great Service, as soon as we arrived we were seated on the patio. We had our dog with us and had no issues getting a table. DOG FRIENDLY! Great Food, The food was high quality and delicious, i think we over ordered. Ambience was very good too, they had some music playing outside. I would have definitely added some Hookahs to the patio, that would had added the last star! read more

I came in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the great experience. The environment was very nice with a calm decor and gives off a comfortable vibe, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered the chicken shawafel and substituted the French fries for the mujadara, which was epic. The pita was warm and thin, allowing the focus to be on the fresh, vibrant filling. I particularly enjoyed the falafel element more than the chicken. The falafel was bursting with flavor, likely a combination of fava beans and chickpeas, and tasted incredibly fresh. The chicken was just okay, but it was overshadowed by the delicious falafel and crisp, fresh veggies. The mujadara was extremely flavorful, with lentils, cracked wheat, pickled onions, and a glaze that made it a perfect dish. Everything tasted so fresh and well-prepared. I would love to come back soon to explore more of the menu. This experience was a great start and definitely worthy of five stars. read more

Everything about Raik is authentic. The food is amazing we have tried everything on the menu at this point and continue to come back weekly.

Really pleasant experience first time in Raik. The menu is smaller and has a good selection of traditional Mediterranean dishes. It was our anniversary dinner so we tried a little bit of everything. Hummus, araza, chicken kebob and Greek salad. All was delicious! I would say the chicken kebob was perfectly cooked but a little under seasoned. The Greek salad and hummus were my favorite dishes. We also tried the grilled vegetables and fries for sides. The fires are fresh cut and fantastic! Service was good, overall a 5 experience. The interior of the restaurant is immaculate! read more
