This is my favorite restaurant. The server was new and very sweet and apologetic. The food was saltier than usual and the crowd was happy and loud. It seemed a bit like an off-day. I’ll keep going back!

Ed & I went to Rafina for our Christmas night dinner. We got there at 7:00pm. Our favorite server Nick took care of us. We had drinks, feta cheese dip and pita bread to start off with. Our order was 2 avgolemono soups, Ed had Beef Kabob and I had Lamb Shank with Orzo. We had a great meal and great service.

The food, service and ambiance were fabulous. We had the baba ganouj, lamb tagine, and mixed grill. I had a flight of Lebanese red wines and my husband had the Arabian Nights cocktail. Everything was perfect! We will definitely be back.

Outstanding as usual! Really love the new space. Christmas Eve dinner with our daughter, split several mezze and then the mixed grill was just the right amount. Moussaka, hummus with lamb, & babagana. The waygu and chicken kabobs were tender and flavorful. The best baklava with pistachios instead of walnuts! Service was perfect as well. And the belly dancer was very talented.

Lovely evening. Allowed us to move outside and kindly turned our table lengthwise to “romantic mode” so we could both sit on the bench together.
