The food is really good. they have like everything here they got mexican, mediterranean etc. And the workers are really nice

Tried this place for the first time and man I've been sleeping on this place. The food is good. You get a good amount for your buck. Came back later to pick up lunch. I got the Raffis super kabobs. Highly recommend

Food is spectacular I tend to order Raffi's Super Kabob , a truly uplifting dining experience. The service is exceptionally inspiring, very friendly and enlightening. The ambiance is spaciously warm and welcoming, a perfect haven. I absolutely love the imaging.

Came in on a Sunday for brunch. Pretty busy but we got our food quickly. Fairly priced menu with tons of options. Clean restaurant with patio seating. Love their coffee/tea bar. You would expect this restaurant to be a sit down place but one must order/pay at counter. Also we couldn't find napkins and had to continuously ask staff for them. The staff was friendly though. My child enjoyed her turkey sandwich. My wife loved her sunrise combo and I devoured my brunch combo. Everything was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back even if we have to bring our own napkins.

We have been to Z's a few times now when we are in town and it is great. They have everything. We love their comfort food and their Mexican food. Their breakfast items are wonderful. The place is so cute and very old school looking. It is super clean and ever so comfortable. The service is great. They get to you right away and the food comes out as ordered and hot. It is all great. The staff is so friendly. We love their French toast with banana on top with the best syrup. It is great. They have everything you might want for breakfast. We also love their burger with fresh sliced avocado on top. You don't need a bum. It is is great and you can pretend it is healthy. Their Mexican food is also wonderful. We love street tacos and their burritos are the best. You will love this place. It is priced nicely as well.

Mr. Z!!!! Where did you go!?!?! We use to see you at Monterey Pass location. Now we found you again in Montebello but you left again! We miss ya! All kidding aside, the food was great. Kids got chicken tenders and fries and chubby burger with fries and drink. Monthly specials were great! I got the chicken lule kabob plate. Came with 2 kabobs and by the time I realized to take a pic I ate one already. Huge portions and will return again.

I love their Sizzling Kabobz! Sometimes they serve it with an authentic pita bread which I love. But sometimes it's served with those store bought pita breads that are more pillowy and bread like, I don't prefer. #207 Raffi's Super Kabob Combo- perfect for indecisive people! You get both beef and chicken. Chicken breast was not dry at all and was tender and juicy. Beef was just the same. Both were flavorful. Rice is always seasoned well. #201 Ground Beef Lule Kabob- seasoned well and tender. I did not like their Chilaquiles breakfast plate. Didn't seem coherent. Tortilla chips were just topped with sauce and drizzled with sour cream, added chopped onions and cilantro. Seemed dry even with sauce topped all over. Egg on top was over done when I asked for over easy. Stick to their non breakfast items. You can order them all day long even during breakfast hours.
