Food is amazing!! Great outdoor seating. Prices reasonable. Wine is lacking, but they do have Darioush, which is a very good cabernet.

Definitely try the steak kebab - they use tender, well marinated filet mignon that is cooked to juicy pink perfection. I ordered the one with both the filet and ground beef - lot of food and while good, the ground beef paled in comparison to the filet. The hummus was a good app too. Service is friendly and Raffi offers a family atmosphere. A little on the pricey side for dinner (~$21 for my kebab) but I'd go back.

Kabob was excellent and portions were huge!!! ambiance was good.. Only downside it was crowded and hence service was not adequately quick

I agree with most who have posted here that the prices are steep especially if you come for lunch, which is the only time I usually visit. The solution to that is to come with a group, order family style and share everything. There's plenty to around.
Sad thing is, in addition to a decline in the quality of food, there's also plenty of attitude to go around too. Our waiter today was not only smug, he was downright rude. I understand that sometimes you have to lean across a patron to pour water or serve food, but the guy who served us today was practically in my lap, without so much as an excuse me. I backed my chair up to give him more room to do what he needed to do, but he didn't seem to notice or care.
I do like going here with a large group from time to time, and hope that the owners will take heed to some of the comments posted here. With the likes of Carousel just down the street, it may not be wise to get too comfortable offering mediocre food and poor service.

I had to swallow a couple of times when opening the menu, but beware, you get what you payed for! The plate is enormous and the amount of food impressive. Rest assured that you will have something for the next day.
Oh, and yes, it is delicious, especially when you're into garlic you will be happy!

Been going to Raffi's for years - they are my favorite restaurant. Their kabobs are terrific, setting is great, service great. All around excellent!

First we were made to wait like 20 mins where as other 'privileged' people kept being taken in ahead of us. When they finally seated us, it was at the only table with no shade. I am a vegetarian and the only choice I had was a bland veggie kebab with loads of rice. Had the yogurt soda which was decent. However they are very expensive and what I took cost me $12.50. The meat kebabs go up to $20.
Wouldnt visit again

love the atmosphere and ambiance...could do without the attitude you get from time to time. food is nicely prepared and consistent in quality - best ordered family style if in a large group, as it tends to be expensive to order individual entrees. all in all a nice dining experience, but a bit pricey for a day to day lunch.

Food is always fresh and tasty, and I really like the outdoor terrace style seating. Would recommend.

I like there kabobs, they actually melt in your mouth but the price is a killer. The ones I like, its $16 a plate. There is a similar restaurant Bacara and they provide same thing in around $8.

The food was very good, but it seemed overpriced to me. There are plenty of equally good Mediterranean restaurants close by that charge substantially less. This place was packed though. Is there something about this place that I don't know?

Raffi's Kabob has great food. Lunch time seems to be their busiest time but well worth the wait. Great patio seating.
