    I had seen Rayoog Café on Yelp and thought, wow! I have never seen a brunch display like this - how cool! But I forgot to save it and plan to go so I didn't for a while. I happened to see some activity on Yelp recently and made it a priority to go that weekend! We decided to try the Mam's special because why not!? I didn't come all the way here to NOT try the most elaborate brunch display I've ever seen! A lot of other commenters note that this is way too much food for two people. I don't know if we just eat a lot or what but we finished everything except the.boats and bread (LOL!?) and we ordered coffee, juice and dessert on top. The staff were really nice and happy to answer questions that we had at our table and I saw at other tables. My only suggestion for improvement regarding the staff would be to stop by more often to check in on how things are going. Not sure if it's a cultural difference as I'm aware that industries eating is preferred in some countries/cultures but we were only approached once at the beginning to order, once when brought our food and we never saw anyone ever again. We had to ask for drinks, updates when some of the food didn't come out for a while,, for dessert, and for the bill. I really started to feel like I was bothering THEM :( The food was amazing! Everything was exceptional. The only thing I was a little bit disappointed about was that each small bowl in the Mam's wasn't exactly as represented in the picture on the menu but there was no disclaimer that selections may change due to availability, season, etc. Most of the food that was brought out was actually vegetarian, which was pretty cool, and most of the dishes with meat could easily be modified should somebody want to make it vegetarian. I will definitely be going back to Rayoog's café to try some of the dishes that were not included in the Mam's

    I've been wanting to try this spot for a long time and we finally came here one Saturday for brunch. Seems like we visited at a good time since it wasn't too busy. We chose to sit on the patio as it was beautiful weather outside. They had lovely Arabic instrumental music playing and it really set the vibes for our meal. I love to see an Arab restaurant doing well; this one is Iraqi and serves Turkish-style breakfast dishes. I had perused the menu earlier and their toast flight looked so appealing to me, so we ordered that along with a cheese boat and a small plate of falafel. The toast flight included six (6) pieces with toppings of: labne & zaatar, sunny side egg & avocado, scrambled eggs & tomatoes, boiled eggs & pesto, cream cheese & blueberry jam, and Nutella & strawberries. The sweet ones along with the sunny side up egg were my favorites! Such a nice variety of sweet and savory. I asked for salt & pepper because I am a salt fiend and that helped satisfy my cravings. The falafel did not hit the spot unfortunately, the inside was not cooked throughly. The cheese boat was okay, I would've preferred to try the zaatar or sausage one for more flavor. Our servers were friendly and attended to our needs by filling up our carafe of water and bringing us salt & pepper. There is a credit card fee so cash seems to be a better payment method. I do want to come back and try their Mam's tray with more people. I wish this spot much success!

    The Pizza Salami Boat was amazing. It came out piping hot, fresh from the oven, and tasted incredible. I also loved the copper tea set and food display. It really made the whole place feel authentic. Friendly service

    4/4/26: wonderful food, excellent ambiance, relatively clean, and a nice sized patio. The service could have been better. It took about five minutes before someone came to our table -- and probably about 10 before a water pitcher was dropped off. It was shortly after one o'clock and it was not crowded (we saw one girl serving & one sitting in the back doing nothing it looked like; one gentleman was bussing the tables). Also, the table cloth was dirty. Despite those negatives, we would return ... and just hope the service is better. Drinks: lemon mint & milkshake lotus. The lemon mint will really make your mouth pucker, but I did get used to it & enjoyed it. The milkshake had a nice calm flavor, nothing too sweet. Food: Rayoog toast, cheese boat, hummus & bread. Delicious! All of it was so good, though the toast was not a crunchy toast, more of a warmed up bread -- didn't matter, it was tasty & a great size for two people to share. Looking forward to going back & trying other menu items.

    I couldn't get over how amazing our breakfast was last week. We had gone for my friends birthday and she had been wanting to try Turkish coffee for quite some time. We decided to try the Mams tray and it came with so many great things to try. Everything was fresh and delicious. The only thing I'm not a big fan of which was great for my friend was the feta cheese def an acquired taste. I will eat all the olives and she had all the feta. I especially loved the cheese boats and can't wait to try the others next time along with the shashuka. The Turkish coffee had great flavor but the coffee grounds at the end of the cup are too thick for me. So def don't see myself repurchasing that next time. The tea was also super flavorful. There was no one else in on a Monday morning so it was very quiet which was awesome. Because we had a friend initially tell us you have to make a reservation. Which we def didn't need Monday morning. Was such a great experience can't wait to return.

    My mom and I had the pleasure of trying out this restaurant for the first time. I've seen the pictures online, but when we got there, it completely exceeded my expectations. The food selection was authentic. The presentation was amazing and the service was awesome. It was a nice location to enjoy brunch. The presentation of the food made it feel very special. I highly recommend this place and will be back soon.

    This place was recommended by my coworker. So i thought I give it a try. Saturday around 1030 and luckily there were few tables available so no wait. Friendly staff and people around appeared to be enjoying the food. I have never been to Turkish restaurant so it was fairly new experience for me. I ended up ordering the special mam's which was recommended my the waiter. Got Chai tea to go with the meal. Over all the food was pretty good, but all the little side dishes felt like something I could get at a store. Nothing stood out far as flavor for me to say man this is so yummy. Ordered Turkish coffee since I never tried it, which was pretty good. Chai tea was also pretty good. Over all experience was pretty good, food was pretty good. Price not so good.. . Once again this was more like 3.5 but over all it was closer to 4 than 5. I did order some extra bread to go since they were yummy. I probably won't come back here again, nothing stood out for me to say I want to come back.

    I was disappointed with my recent visit to this establishment. The staff's unfriendly demeanor was notable. We sat for quite a while and no one came to take our order, we had to call someone over, also no one checked on us after getting our food, requiring me to request service from a woman to ask a question. The food was mediocre. We had to request our bill. Meanwhile, the staff in the back seemed to be joking and laughing about us. The establishment might consider posting a sign at the door regarding dress code and customer expectations. Staff seemed to judge my party. Definitely would not recommend!! I don't like to write reviews like this but the service was horrible as they made us feel unwelcome!!

    This place was incredible! The food, presentation and service were outstanding! We came around 1230 on a weekday/holiday and were seated right away. I'm sure they're probably busier on weekends. There was indoor/outdoor seating and easy parking. This place had family diner meets modern vibes. The server taking care of us patiently explained the menu and foods to us. My husband and I decided to order the special mam's platter, which allowed us to really try a variety of the traditional Arabic brunch food offerings. Everything on the platter was delicious, and we also really enjoyed the eggs and cheese bread that was included. There was not one thing that I didn't like here. I cannot give enough praise to this restaurant, and I think everyone should come here to experience it.

    What a phenomenal brunch. We had started planning our second visit after a few bites.

    We went here on Sunday to celebrate our daughter's birthday - 4 different families. It was the…read morelast game of the World Cup, so quite a few people here. My son had ordered food from here as takeout last year. The food taste was interesting, though, I really like the cheese dip for the pretzel bites. The bites were pretty big. Lots of tables at this location, a bit warm. But our party of 14 was easily accommodated. Our daughter chose this place and it was quite loud. My husband and I are quiet people, so if we were to choose again, probably not here because of the loudness and all the TVs all over the place. But for those who like it loud, TVs and do not mind the prices on the menu, have at it. I don't remember our server's name. If she told us, I couldn't hear what she said. She was alright. Honestly, I had a hard time hearing even my son who sat next to me, and hearing my sister who sat one seat over in front of me, I couldn't hear what she was saying. Loudness is an issue for me and I do not have hearing issues. Our bill with tip came to over $700+. That was the most expensive lunch we've ever spent for our party of 14. Typically we're in the $400-500 range. But it was a special occasion. My husband and son got the 36 hr ribs. My husband really loved them. My son said it was okay. I didn't ask my brother and BIL who also got the same dish. I know my BIL was unhappy that he didn't get the side he requested and when they gave it to him (asparagus, I think), it was cold and he wasn't pleased about this. I got the hub burger and it was okay. There was a lot on the burger, but the patty itself, didn't have that much flavor. Some of the "Starters" or appetizers things were salted too much, but the burger did not taste like it had any salt. I had eaten too many starters so when my food came, I wasn't very hungry and took most of it home and ate for dinner another night. My husband and son do not like coleslaw and I ate theirs. THIS I really liked and tasted much better than KFC. I loved the sweetness and that the cabbage was shredded bigger than KFC. The pretzel bites were good. We got wings, and they were so-so. The roasted brussel sprouts were too salty. The deviled eggs were okay, but pricey for 2.5 eggs, which I do pay at Trader Joe's for organic free range pasturized eggs I could've gotten over 2 dozens. But, yes, I pay for the service and ambiance. I really thought there would be more than 5 halves for the deviled eggs. We got the nachos and they were okay. The melted cheese sauce was the best part. My mom got the fish and chips and she seemed to pick at it. She didn't want to take home, so it must not have been that good because she almost always takes a doggy bag home. My sister had the salmon and it was in a huge bowl and didn't look to be that much food. It was pricey. One of my SILs got something I didn't recognize and she said it was okay. No one I could tell was over the moon with the taste of the food and I heard the word "interesting" quite a bit. It's not that it tasted bad, but it didn't really taste good good. You know what I mean? I did bring a special order cake I got at Nothing Bundt Cakes in Gilbert. I asked Culinary Dropout if we could borrow a cake cutter. They didn't have one. Weird. This was a Red Velvet cake and this was absolutely divine. It was moist. The frosting was some sort of yummy cream cheese frosting. The cake was perfectly sized for our party of 14. The cake was the best part of our meal and it didn't come from Culinary Dropout. I would pay this much for a meal at Roy's for lunch for this sized party, but alas, all the Roy's in the valley are closed down. So sad. I'm not saying this place is bad or the food tastes bad. It's okay and pricey. If the food was great or amazing, we don't mind pricey. We have paid over $1K for meals for our big party, and happily do so when the food is equivalent to the price.

I could probably put that on just about anything. The vibes are wonderful too. It's cozy, welcoming, and the kind of coffee shop where you want to linger with a friend for a while. My only critique is the layout of the front room. There always seems to be a line, but there's not really a good place for it to go besides in front of the entrance and the water station. It turns into a lot of "excuse me" and people weaving around each other. It's definitely a good problem to have because they're clearly popular, but I hope as they continue to flourish, they're able to expand into a larger space or rethink the flow a bit. Either way, I'll absolutely be back. Just save me another coconut brown sugar latte.
