“my boyfriend and I came here for the first time and LOVED IT! I’m middle eastern and was drooooooling over the wagyu shawarma. I was on the fence about getting the hummus side and ultimately decided against it bc I wasn’t sure how much food I wanted - but then 5 minutes later the lovely man working ( I didn’t get his name but he had tunnels ) very very kindly brought out a small side of hummus for us to try and it was bomb! the fries also fantastic and only $5! i’m pretty sure they make the ketchup because it was delicious. next time i’ll be getting the full side of hummus and adding a side of hot sauce. one of my new favorite spots“

“Reasonably priced and delicious food!“

“Really awesome place to get a shawarma. Big portion, quality ingredients, just very tasty overall. Highly recommend it!!!“

“Definitely a 5 star rating, if i could i would mark 10 stars. Stopped by had some Piroshki:)) was cooked to order, OMG better than back home and have to say that. Clean fresh and crispy. We went to try and ended up eating more that planned !“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“Thank you to the Raffis staff for their professional work, friendly approach, and delicious food. A funny story happened today. My friend and I had lunch, had a good time, and forgot the envelope with money on the table. A few hours later, we remembered that we had forgotten the money on the table. We went back and they returned our money to us.Thank you very much:Rafuel,Martin,Luis❤️you are professional👍“

“Amazing and well seasoned food. Comes out piping hot. It’s a small-to-medium sized restaurant with fast turnover. We had the luleh kobab and lamb kobab, which were both delicious. The bread is fresh and homemade.

The servers work extremely hard, but because of volume are not extremely attentive to any one table. They will take your order fast, but you have to have patience to get the bill.“

“I went there yesterday for the first time. I got the lamb shawarma plate, and it was wonderful. I will be returning. It may seem a little pricey, but the quality of the food and the generous portions is well worth it.“

“I’ve gone to Rafo’s so many times and haven’t left a review. The chicken thigh sandwich is always so fresh, easy, and juicy. The chicken?! I’ve gotten it at least 5 times now. I had the chicken and beef lule plate once as well and the lule was also super tasty.“

“Have gotten takeout from here a number of times. Never disappointed. Flavorful chicken that's nice and tender, ingredients always seem fresh.
All of the sauces are very tasty and they are very generous with them. The chicken plate and The Get Greeky bowl are, so far, my favorites. Pricing is fair compared to some other places.
Staff is friendly and attentive.“

“My husband and I were looking for a spot to eat after running some errands in the Sun Valley area and my goodness Paros food was amazing. We had the chicken breast kebob, seasoned feta cheese, hummus and a side salad. Without exaggerating, their seasoned chicken was the best from any Mediterranean place I've had, and my husband and I are foodies. We enjoyed it so much we HIGHLY recommend Paros. Christina was a sweetheart. She asked for our opinion on their food to make sure we were enjoying their food, and YES, we absolutely did. This family restaurant is super clean and very welcoming. Please try it, you'll love it!!“

“We just had dinner here for the first time, and the food was absolutely amazing! We were warmly greeted by Vanessa, who was incredibly kind and welcoming.

We ordered the Branzino and the Chicken Combo Plate, and everything was delicious. We also tried the hummus, strawberry mojito, and baklava—each dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors.

Thank you for the excellent food and outstanding service. Our entire experience was wonderful from start to finish.

May God shower this restaurant with blessings, prosperity, and continued success. We will definitely be back!“

“After waiting a long time while they did renovations they are open again and the food and service are excellent! I love what they did to the place.

The filet mignon was grilled perfectly and was so tender I was able to do cuts using a butter knife. The beet hummus was unique and flavorful. The eggplant was not overpowering and was also a nice dip for the filet. The complimentary bread is handmade and I could eat 10 of them. Highly recommended restaurant. I'm gonna come back lots. :)“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cafe Elegante in Burbank is truly a hidden gem and one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and outstanding customer service that made me feel right at home.

The food was absolutely incredible. The chicken dishes were perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The beef was equally impressive—cooked to perfection, rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. You can genuinely tell that great care and attention go into every dish that comes out of the kitchen.

What really stood out were the mouthwatering appetizers. Every appetizer we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. They were the perfect way to start the meal and left us excited for the main courses. Each bite showcased the quality ingredients and passion that Cafe Elegante puts into its menu.

The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and comfortable, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Between the exceptional food, generous portions, and attentive service, Cafe Elegante exceeded all expectations.

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“I had lunch with my family and the food was Delicious. Try you won't regret it“

“Delicious dishes! Everything is recommended! But if you twist my arm, I'd say try the beef or chicken shawarma sandwich.“

“Kabab Way in Glendale is absolutely incredible! Their kababs are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection — truly some of the best I’ve had. The chicken is juicy and delicious, the grilled tomatoes are perfectly charred, and the rice is fluffy and full of aroma. Everything is consistently fresh and tasty. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving authentic and delicious kabab. A must-try!“

“This place is under New Management for about three months and the new owners are super friendly. The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious. My favorite is the chicken Lula kebab wrap. If you get the plate, you can ask for hummus on the side or extra tomato sauce. In the plate, you get some Mediterranean style rice with your choice of meat on top.“

“I've been going here for over 20 years. Great food, friendly staff. You won't believe the amazing dishes that come out of that kitchen. Don't let the name fool you, I have never had a burger here, my favorite dish... The t-bone steak. Highly recommend!“

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“I don’t usually mention specific employees in my reviews, but Alla absolutely deserves the recognition. She was professional, friendly, and genuinely pleasant to communicate with throughout my visit. Her positive attitude and attention to detail made the entire experience much more enjoyable. Great customer service can make all the difference, and Alla is a perfect example of that. Thank you for making everything so easy and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!“

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality that instantly makes you feel at home. The food is nothing short of incredible—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
