Rafi's Kitchen

"Had an incredible experience here with my folks. Amber the owner and came out after we finished and she was super sweet. The bartender was fantastic and our waiter Will was too. We got the tandoori chicken, beet salad, and loaded hummus with pita. Was the perfect amount for three people and was absolutely delicious. Hidden gem. highly recommend!"

"I’m traveling for work and found this little gem! I was driving by to find a place for dinner and was drawn in by the ambiance of the outdoor seating. I looked online to see what type of food they serve and was pleased to see the Mediterranean menu. Treshina was an amazing server. Very friendly and kept checking to see if I needed anything. Gayle was very friendly too. I had the privilege of meeting the owner who told me she grew up in this community. I would 1000 percent recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a great experience at a great price! The cocktail menu is also amazing!"
