Typical Arrogance

by CityEater at Citysearch

Like most "authentic" restaurants, this one was good several years ago when it was new and trying to impress. It didn't take long for this restaurant to rest on its laurels and forget about its partons. The quality of meat - the main dish at a Persian restaurant - has diminished and is now dry and rubbery without much flavor. But most important, that feeling of being welcomed by a host - a key ingredient in Persian culture as well as independent restaurant culture - has been replaced by a busy and careless arrogance. They don't care if you loved the food or not. They don't care about telling you that they don't take reservations but then save large tables for special guests while you sit and wait for thirty minutes. They don't care if their careless Valet staff dings up your car and then says "Prove to me that it wasn't like that when you got here." They just don't care. There are still independently run restaurants in LA where the owners care about their customers' comfort and satisfaction. Raffi's is no longer one of those places.

  • Pros: Decent Appetizers
  • Cons: Everthing Else

Delicious Food

by AnnieCholakyan at Citysearch

Well for starters this is my first review to post.

In my opinion Raffis Place has the best BBQ yummy tasteful, and you always want to go back for more although it does fill you up. My favorite is the Boneless chicken barg and there eggplant dip.

Love the environment its very nice to go somewhere that reminds you of back home the middle east.

Also the whole crew there is super friendly.

And who knows you might run into a long lost friend at Raffis has happened to me plenty of times.

Try it you wont regret it...

  • Pros: Ambience, Parking, Service, Great food.
  • Cons: Only con is that I can't take my little puppies along like some other out door restaurants. ;(
