    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

    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!

    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

I always order the combo plates and then order extra order of each meat. The Beef Lule Combo plate - comes with 2 strips of Lule, Rice, seasoned fresh onions slices, grilled tomato and chili pepper Chicken Combo Plate - comes with about five pieces of chicken breast pieces, Rice and same sides. If you order just the meat (not combo), you'll get double the meat and sides. Basically the rice is being replaced with extra meat so if you don't care for rice, definitely get the Non-combo as the price is insanely cheap!! Been ordering from here for almost 30 yrs and they've managed to stay so consistent with their serving size & flavors. Also, their prices are insane! I don't know how they stay in business with such affordable prices. They're definitely doing something right! Highly Highly recommend!

    I stopped by Mediterranean Cafe recently and was honestly blown away. From the moment I walked in,…read morethe staff was welcoming and friendly, and the food came out fresh and beautifully prepared. I ordered the salad, and it was anything but ordinary. Every bite was packed with flavor crisp vegetables, fresh ingredients, and the perfect balance of seasoning and dressing. It's rare for a salad to be the star of the meal, but this one absolutely was. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to quality. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to enjoy the experience. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or a casual dinner, this place delivers. If you're looking for fresh Mediterranean food with generous portions and incredible flavor, Mediterranean Cafe is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu!
