Raffi's Place - Restaurant in Glendale - 211 E Broadway, USA

Lovely restaurant. An LA landmark. Kind of a must visit spot in Los Angeles for Persian food. Everything we had was excellent. Maybe individually I've had better at other places but on the whole everything on the menu was very delicious. They don't take reservations and you will probably wait a while (we waited almost 50 min on Sat night). The service was adequate. Not the best I've ever seen but I have no complaints.

I will consider this restaurant the best ever since I came to US! Best service! Jessy with his busboys were on top of their job; super polite and super fast! This will become our family restaurant for every trip we take from SD to LA… Try the following: Soltani Kabob Lamb Shank Chicken boneless Kabob Tabbouleh Hummus

A must go to place when in Glendale! Visited on the weekend and it was packed. Waited to be seated and for the food to come out for a while. But as soon as the kebab arrived to the table, we immediately forgot how boring it was to wait haha. Got Soltani, filet mignon, boneless chicken. They all were good but liked filet mignon the most! I also recommend their Hummus. Goes so well with the flat bread😋

When in LA , go to Glendale and make it a point to dine at Raffi’s place. Been doing this for a bit and this time it would be to write down a review for a place that we crave and do make a point to visit, every time we happen to be in town. Parking is at the back side and so is the entrance location. We were there on a Thursday where it was pretty crowded for a weekday but thankfully no lines to wait. Got checked in and were seated inside. Rosaura who was our host for the evening along with Alex who served us were amazing through and through and got us going right away with the bread , butter and sabzi that was brought out in no time. I checked with Rosaura about Halal food and she mentioned all of the chicken and lamb items are Halal and we went ahead with our order. The food was yummy and especially good was the Mast-o-Musir combination along with the rack of lamb. The Soltani came out amazing as well and Kashk Bademjan is something that you can never go wrong with at Raffi’s place. Rosaura and Alex kept checking with us all this while and made sure we had everything we needed and our wait time was next to none right from the beginning to the end whether it be for water, sabzi or our food. Absolutely amazing and a definite recommendation.

The food was amazing, especially the lamp racks that were so tender and almost swollen without chewing. The waiter looked overwhelmed as we had to mention our requests for some lemons or straws twice. We had a problem with the valet parking as we could not find my wife’s sunglasses after we got our car from them.

This is my first authentic Persian restaurant experience, but I came with a relative who is experienced in Persian cuisine, so, this is a collaborative effort. They have a large selection of authentic dishes. The portions are huge. I had the Barg. The flavor was very good. I typically do not eat rice, but I tried it and it was really good. The service was great. I definitely recommend this place.

This makes my second visit to Raffi’s place. Not close to home but we’ll worth the hour drive. All rice dishes are fabulous even the plain basmati rice. I loved the rice with herbs. The mint tea is a great presentation. The bread with some butter and fresh basil makes for a great appetizer. The Hummus is top notch flavor. Fire roasted meats, well no wrong choices. The white fish is great. Jessie is a great server and will answer all questions and he gives honest opinions. The location is fabulously decorated semi al fresco. We now want to returns to brings our daughters - we think they will love it.

Food here is the reason to come, prices seem expensive but truly every plate can be two meals taken to go. Plates were huge. Service was nice but nothing crazy. Atmosphere was family friendly and chill, nothing fancy or too upscale. food was really good and filling. Fun for the whole family or a big group of friends. I definitely wanna come back sometime when I’m in LA. Highly recommend this place especially during a day or night on the town at the Americanna
