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

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

My favorite local, family owned restaurant. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. I have yet to try something I didn't like. Very beautifully decorated and clean. Good size portions. Take everyone you know you won't regret it! 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 dined at the bar today and had beef Shawarna (sandwich) with fries and a blueberry lemonaid . Both were very good. The bartender (didn't get his name) was very friendly and the service was great. I strongly recommend Raik to anyone who wants great Mediterranean food and great service! read more

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

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. The flatbread is a great lunch or any entree is a must choose. I prefer the beef lamb kebab. The service and atmosphere is amazing with the staff being friendly and helpful and often times having live music on the weekend. It is definitely the best restaurant in Suwanee. read more

So many of us have been waiting patiently for Cafe Raik to reopen. Such a lovely new venue decorated in classy neutrals and with ample parking. We were so pleased that Raik recently added lunch hours too! The family shared hummus with extra pita bread - so light and fluffy! And the hummus is the creamiest. Each of us ordered bowls from the new lunch menu. Portions, as you can see, are no joke. We had leftovers from both the beef shawarma and the mujadarra bowls. And for our pre-Mothers Day dessert was baklava which is served with a small scoop of ice cream. The baklava took me back with the fascinatingly intense taste of pistachios. So often baklava is made with cashews or walnuts. The pistachios are a distinct flavor - and recommended by me! Would love to return and test out the dinner menu! Welcome back Raik! read more

Waiter Ali was excellent and very attentive and informative. Would highly recommend the restaurant and Ali

Raik is a nice addition of restaurant choices in Suwanee. I've been driving/walking pass for a while and the sign has always read "coming soon" but today to my surprise it was open! I was in the mood to order a Greek salad to go but when I walked in I was pleasantly surprised to see Raik was a full fledged beautiful restaurant! The interior was modern and clean and the staff was welcoming. I ordered the salad to go however the wait was really long so if you are in a rush I wouldn't recommend it. The salad was tasty didn't blow me away with flavor but they are new and I will definitely give it another try because the other dishes looked delicious. I'll be back! 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 flavor and atmosphere. Service was very good and explained all the dishes and offered many suggestions. The party tried many new items and all were impressed. read more

Food: AMAZING. We had the tabouli salad, hummus, filet, and beef kabob. I think the hummus could have used more acidity, but luckily the tabouli salad's acidity balanced it out. The kabob with the pesto-like dressing and the beet-crunchy-shallot-yogurt topping on top of the lentils was perfect. The filet is SO GOOD; had a nice crust and moist center; unfortunately the portion of it was small tho. For dessert we got the knahfeh and don't be scared! I was hesitant about the cheese, but the sweet syrup and ice cream nicely balances it out. Service: waiter was nice and gave us good recs; he strongly suggested the knafeh and we were pleasantly surprised. He frequently checked on us and we got to know him personally a lil! Ambiance: stunning. Simple and elegant. Great for a date night. Tips: I thought the hummus and pita ratio was off; so be prepared to order another pita haha. 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

Food, service and atmosphere is great. Upscale Mediterranean food was needs in the area, as most are cafeteria style or takeout. I have vegan family members and there's plenty of options beyond salads to choose from. read more

Got the kabobs. The food was just ok. I've had better Mediterranean food at other restaurants.

Highly recommended. You get the experience, ambiance, and flavors of a nice intown restaurant without the paid parking and hassle. It is a welcome restaurant in Suwanee. Service was excellent and the food is just amazing. The puffy and soft pita bread alone is worth a visit. The baba ghanoush and falafel were some of the best I've ever had in my life and I eat a lot of it. This is a great date night or to go with a group. Very accommodating. read more

Stopped in at the bar for a quick meal on our drive home to Greenville, SC. First of all, the space itself is stunning. Really beautifully designed. Second, the food was great. My husband had the filet skewer entree, and I had tabbouleh with a chicken skewer. Not all Mediterranean food is created equal, but this place did not disappoint. The service was on par with the rest of the experience. Friendly staff, great service. We don't live close but when we're in the area we will definitely be back. read more

Excellent food and flavor, great service. Good vibe with music. Had the Arayes, hummus, and raik salad.

The decor in Raik during valentine weekend was beautiful! The lunch is more like a five course meal! I enjoyed every bit of this lunch dining experience. Friendly and lovely staff as well. read more

Great new find. My wife found their happy hour and we came on a Wednesday. Melina, I believe, was the bartender. Very welcoming. She was amazing. Recommended great choices and very knowledgeable. Place was spotless. The drinks were good, but the espresso martini is the star of the show. We got the happy hour flatbread, marg, and fried cheese rolls for happy hour. Cheese rolls are addicting. We also got some calamari, which was stellar and the fries were amazing. It was so good we came back a few days later with our daughter for dinner. To our surprise, there was a live musician which my daughter loved. I got the Chicken kabobs and they were juicy and flavorful, the arayes, extra veggies, and falafel. The manager, I forgot her name, was very nice. She recommended things to do in the area and seemed excited we came in. Awesome staff. They'll be seeing a lot of us. Highly recommend. We'll also be posting a review on CDEATSATLANTA tiktok. read more

Raik Mediterranean - Middle Eastern Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Horrible. We wondered why there was barely any patrons there and now I see why. Beyond service, I can't find a redeeming quality to this restaurant. From the non alcoholic beverage that was way too tart, to the entrees, it was a big disappointment. I chose the salmon kabob with lentils and onions and he got the chicken kabob with rice. Why is my salmon in gravy? It may not really be gravy but that's how it tasted and I hate gravy. It ruined the salmon which also tasted burnt and dry. The lentils were a sloppy mess and tasted like mush. The onions didn't even taste like onions. I'm not sure what seasoning was on my boyfriend's chicken but that was also pretty terrible and his meat was very dry too. His rice was dry/ stale (see a pattern here). The server said she could have them remake a plain salmon but I didn't feel like waiting for it and I didn't trust it would taste much better. She said she'd talk to the manager who never came by the table. We were changed for the meal. I really hate going out to dinner and feeling cheated by the quality and the bill. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Raik. The service was impeccable and the food was beyond delicious. I had the hummus, beef kabobs and Za'tar fries. The hummus is creamy and delicious and comes out with freshly baked (puffy!!) pita bread. The fries are crispy and the beef kabobs are tender, juicy, with just the right amount of herbs. I've been to a lot if Mediterranean restaurants but I have to say this one is the best by far. read more

My first time here, everything was so good! Our server Sean was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations for us. The highlights for me were the falafel and the tahini chocolate chip cookies. Everything was very well done, my mother in law loved the martinis and said they were one of the best she's had in a while. The inside is beautiful and the prices were actually very good for the location and the quality. We had a great time and will definitely be back! read more

Have been here three times now and the food and experience have been exemplary. The staff is very attentive.

Hard to pick favorites, but the cauliflower is excellent and the Chicken Shawafel is beyond excellent. read more

Raik Mediterranean - Beef kabob, filet mignon kabob, fattoush salad, grilled veggies. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

It was good. The Drinks were as well. This is Cute restaurant for date night or dinner with friends.

I'm a previous patron of Cafe Raik so I was very happy when they opened in Suwanee, GA. The new spot is beautiful! I couldn't tell from outside the building. Nice for date night or lunch. They have a room for private parties as well which is also nice. Now the FOOD: The food was delicious! Oh goodness, I enjoyed every bit. I forgot to take a picture of the flatbread pizza but my kid said he enjoyed it. He dipped it in sauce we had left over from the yogurt appetizer. Now if you like me & wanted certain things to taste the same well it's not. The rice is now cooked in some type of broth. It's not bad, it has more flavor. The falafel to me tastes different as well. Not as light & flavor-packed as I remember. My spouse loved them though. I think Cafe Raik had the best falafel I ever had so maybe it was an off day. I hope they bring back the original recipe if they did change it. Overall I'll be back to support & enjoy more delicious food. read more

My husband and I love Mediterranean food and are always eager to try out new places. We were traveling to a vacation destination and found this spot at lunch time about halfway through our drive. The food was amazing and the service was spot on as well. We started with the hummus. My mouth is watering just typing about it. It was the creamiest, most authentic hummus I have ever tasted and the fresh baked pita served with it was phenomenal. For our main, my husband had the chicken shawarma bowl and I had the beef. They were excellent. I don't do rice, so I got the grilled veggies. I could have just gotten the veggies and dipped them in the hummus and been happy. Even the cappuccino my husband got after dinner was awesome. You can't go wrong dining here! I just hate it that it isn't within driving distance of where I live. read more

Raik Mediterranean - Hummus, grilled veggies, steak shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Tried it on a Sunday night with the family, came and in around 6:30 and we were seated right away. We ordered some Baba Ganoush for a starter, it was very good, though the pita it came with was not freshly made, it was reheated but it was not hot, so that was a let down. For main meal, we ordered the chicken kabobs which were good and flavorful but the filet mignon kabobs I had were not. Both our meals came with rice, nothing special , we had to use salt to give it some taste. The kids' fries were vey good. The flavor was missing! Someone mentioned in their comments Del Bar or Rumi's, i'm sorry this can't even be in the same sentence with those 2. I understand they are new, hopefully they figure it out and turn it around, people want authentic flavor. Pita corner which is a fast food style Mediterranean restaurant has more flavor than this place. Overall it was very nice sit down place close to the park, but the food was average. read more

Food was very good. Service was good. They kept checking in on us and making sure we were taken care of. Ambiance is very nice. It's also very nicely located in The Suwanee town center.

Wow! What a hidden gem! This place offered my husband and I a wonderful date night! Excellent food, service and atmosphere!

Went to this place for dinner and was very disappointed. My wife and I were seated immediately with no wait. This was surprising since the restaurant was fairly full. The dining room was very bright more like a breakfast spot. We ordered the Za'atar flatbread and a bottle of wine to start. The flatbread was overwhelmingly salty and didn't have much cheese. My wife ordered her entree then the waiter walked away without taking my entree order. I got his attention and placed my order. We ordered the salmon and beef kabobs. The order never arrived. I actually don't think it was put in. We were eventually approached by a few staff members that inquired about our experience. I let them know that the food never arrived. They quickly went to the kitchen to remedy the situation. My beef kabobs arrived, they were flavorful but dry. When the salmon kabobs arrived they appear grilled and covered with sauce, not typical of grilled kabobs. I will try them again for dinner after they get a better trained staff in the front and the back of the house. For now I will stick to the bar for wine and cocktails. As a gesture of apology the manager compted the entrees which was a great thing to do. We would have rather gotten a great meal and experience. read more

The lamb shank is not as same as my last order. The size and amount of the food and quality changes based on the day you place the order.

Raik's relocated from its old location to close to Suwanee Town Center. It was - and still is - our never miss restaurant - whenever our grand-children and other family/friends visit us. The food is authentic, Mediterranean - its recipies developed by its Chef. At this new location, its ambiance is very inviting - wide spaces between tables and booths. Its vast menu offers savoring "something for everyone": Chicken Kabob Beef Kabob (in-house ground beef & lamb mix) Salmon Kabob Middle Eastern spiced salmon Filet Mignon Kabob beef tenderloin Lamb Shank Veggie Kabob Its full bar and other items will make you come back again, and again. read more
