The best gem in Cincinnati. The food is amazing, with several tasty vegetarian options. Everything is very affordable, and the staff is so kind.

Sem, the owner, is very kind and the food is delicious. I got the lentil soup and could have eaten two more bowls! Also got a falafel wrap, the vegetables were crisp and the sauce was amazing.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and reasonably priced middle eastern fare, just what our family was looking for to end a fun day. The baba ganoush was a little on the smokier side, which was a nice surprise flavor compared to others. The falafel came out VERY hot. The bathroom does need some improvement; cramped and challenging to access.

I got a chicken kebab platter. The taste was great, but it was really skimpy on the meat and salad. I’ve had these types of platters a hundred times and I’ve never still been hungry afterwards.

Food was delicious and clearly made with tons of love and care. If I was local I would definitely be making this a regular spot, but anyone who IS local definitely should.

It’s so incredible! Sem makes the best food! It’s all her mother’s homemade Lebanese recipes! I love going for the atmosphere but the food is really what will have you going back again and again ❤️
Raya Lebanese is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have been to. The food is like art and the taste is phenomenal. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know Sam Raya and the locals that come in and out. She really takes you in as if a family; it is by far the most welcoming place I’ve been to. My favorite menu items are the kibbie, lamb m’shagan, gyros, and grape leaves. The hummus and pita is also delicious, and I always get the coffee and baklava to finish out my meal. I love the environment, it is warm and compliments the atmosphere so well. The food is also very affordable. I would highly recommend checking them out on Instagram, too, as the restaurant hosted a poetry event recently which I heard went well. I cannot wait to become a frequent customer at Raya Lebanese and get to know this fantastic food further!

I love the affordable price for such great foods! A gyro wrap was enough to make me full and it’s only $6. Perfect for lunch, dinner, anything.
Went back this year and they still offer one of the best food in Cincy ✨
