    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Veggies Khachapuri

    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.

    Beef and Chicken Lule Plate with Beef Kabob a la Carte
    Paloma J.

    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.

    Small but private dining area. Very chill Vibes

    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

    Don't know when they're open or closed. False advertised hours. I ordered an Armenian pizza online…read moreand got a plain cheese pizza. Last time I order from this place. ****Response to the snarky comment from the pizza boy below: 2nd time I order today with hopes I get the correct pizza--I ordered a Texas and an Armenian. You sent me a Texas and a sad, lonely cheese pizza like I asked for disappointment with extra crust. I had to go through the hassle of getting a refund from Uber Eats just to maybe get the right thing this time. Amazing. But you know what's really sad? You reaching out, not to own the mistake or fix anything, but to get defensive. Like, that's your move? Not "sorry we messed up," but "let me double down on being clueless." Iconic. If this is your idea of customer service, I genuinely hope your business thrives--in the same way Blockbuster did. Keep it up. You're one wrong order away from becoming a cautionary tale. ********* 2nd response: Looks like I struck a nerve. Also, the sarcasm going over your head is all I needed to know pizza boy.. I mean, champ. :)

Parking was a bit tricky to find because the restaurant is at the street corner and there is no designated parking lot. We tried to find parking in the alley area, but those are designated for another restaurant, so we got lucky and a street parking spot opened up on Alameda. The restaurant has a couple tables inside and some tables in their outside patio. The tables inside are bar height. We were greeted with menus right away and was told the pastas weren't currently available. We ordered two of their pizzas, Pazza pizza and Prosciutto pizza, and two of their salads, Caesar and Antipasto. I really enjoyed the salads and the prosciutto pizza. The Pazaa pizza was good too but the cheese was very filling for me. If you love cheese, you have to try the Pazza. Ingredients are all very fresh! I would recommend ordering ahead of time because the pizzas did take awhile to make and bake, but luckily they had TV on so we watched TV while waiting. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely order takeout from here.

There was one person working and they were pretty nice. However, the pizza on the other hand was pretty mediocre. The hot honey pizza was the only decent one.

My better half and I have been to the Studio City location, but it was our first time at the Burbank one. There's street parking all around but it's not mission impossible in these parts. Inside is not too big but not too small (just right!). You order at the counter and they bring the pizza to you. We ordered the Pepperoni Ultimo (pepperoni, green bell peppers, pineapple, buffalo sauce) along some Mexican cokes. It took a bit for the pizza to be ready, but anything worth doing is worth doing right. The pizza is definitely on the doughier side, so if that's how you enjoy you zza this is the place to be. Lucifer's Pizza is pretty damn good, so if you're around and feeling like a slice, give them a shot!

Original review: I went here a few times and found the food to be good, mainly the wings. Sadly that is not the case anymore. It seems the quality for their wings have nose-dived in quality. The pictured wings are raw. On top of this, when I picked up my food no one assisted me for almost 10 minutes and there was just this rude employee staring at me through the kitchen area. It's a shame that this place has tanked in food quality but also service. I was going to bring my out of state friend here to give her review on this food but now I don't think I will ever return. Lastly, the owner has no problem shoving his beliefs down our throats with the flag hung up outside. Making food political is cringe. Worshipping a felon like Jesus is also anti-christian.

There was one employee moving pizza pans around and doing something near the front counter and we stood there for several minutes and she did not even acknowledge us at all. A simple "I'll be right with you" would have been nice. Then she came and finally greeted us with a "hey" that was partially a sigh as well. Extremely rude and didn't seem like she wanted to be there and acted as if we were inconveniencing her in some way. Not a way I want to be greeted when going to an establishment to give them my money. I agree with Dania's review below that was 7 days ago and the picture she posted is the same employee that "helped" us. The pizza is good and pretty consistent always. I just don't like being treated like I'm bothering the employees when coming in to order. Also, this has been an issue since opening, but it is uncomfortably hot in there. Too hot to sit down and eat inside the restaurant. Probably will take a break from slicehouse for a while.
