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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Love the Middle Eastern food here and the Chicken and Beef Kebab plates. You should also try the Armenian Pizza. Its really good and different from Italian pizzas. So we stopped here with my lunch crew after a meeting in the Burbank hotels. Great place to go for lunch. We ordered a medium Armenian Pizza and some Kebab Middles Eastern plates, and it was delicious. We got full fast, and needed a doggy bag when going home lol. Not surprising the portions are huge. Food is moderate in prices, and the people that work here are nice. I d come back again. read more

A saw this place while sitting at the light at Olive & Victory and thought "that looks like my kind of place" and thank goodness for my intuition! Rafo's is a good blend of pizza and Mediterranean food. On my first visit I got a small pizza and a beef lule kabob sandwich - a lot of food for 1 person, but both were kind of back-ups in case one wasn't good. Well, they were both great: the pizza has excellent crust with good flavor on the sauce. The beef lule kabob sandwich was sensational - I'd never had a sandwich like this, and what a great idea! A kebob plate on the go, in essence, and everything from the meat to the bread was excellent. I really recommend this sandwich! My second visit I had a chicken thigh kabob plate, and I enjoyed the chicken and the rice. Only issues: there's maybe 3 tables inside, so you could dine in there, but it doesn't take much to get busy (one visit when I was picking up food, all tables were taken). Other issue being the hummus, which myself and the other diners found pretty bland. Those things aside, give this place a try for a meal - you too will be pleasantly surprised! read more

Haven't had this good of a pizza in a while! If you're tired of the regular old pepperoni pizza, and you want to try something a little more adventurous, I recommend this Doner pizza! Meat, cheese, red onions, with tzatziki on the side...you just can't go wrong here. I greatly enjoyed the smokey flavors of this pie. The Margarita pizza was a safe pick on our part, a good pizza still, but underwhelming when paired with the Doner. More of a palate cleanser, if you will. The workers here were super welcoming and made sure that we were enjoying our food. Just for their friendly demeanor, I want to visit this spot again. The inside of the store is not too big and there are few spots to sit, so I'd recommend ordering to go if you don't feel comfortable dining in more intimate spaces like this. read more
