Raffi's Catering And Banquet - Pasadena

The food was excellent, earning a solid three-star rating. However, I was taken aback by the choice of having Fox News playing on their new, large screen during lunch hours. It seemed like the young guy working the shift—likely a family member or possibly the owner’s son—thought it would be a good idea. While it wasn't the typical offensive nighttime content, just the daytime hosts were visible and the sound was off. Personally, I find the channel's programming quite objectionable, and it felt odd to have it on at an ethnic restaurant during lunch. That said, the food quality was truly exceptional, and the service was good as well. They also cater and handle many large events for the Armenian community in Pasadena and Altadena.

The food was excellent, with top-notch quality. The service was outstanding, and I especially enjoyed the appetizers, which were fantastic.

Excellent service and delicious food! Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.

I absolutely love Raffi's! I've been dining here since high school, and they never let me down. I wish I had pictures of my meals to share, but trust me when I say that they consistently deliver excellent food and outstanding service. I've even had them cater an event for me. The portion sizes are also a perfect 10 out of 10!

**Meal Type:** Dinner **Price per Person:** $1–10 **Food Rating:** 2/5 **Service Rating:** 3/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 2/5 **Recommended Dish:** Chicken Kabob Plate I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and found the experience to be somewhat disappointing. The food received a low rating of 2 out of 5—it lacked flavor and presentation. The service was a bit better, earning a 3; the staff was friendly, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed and slow. The atmosphere also fell short, rated at 2, as it felt quite bland and uninviting. However, I would recommend trying the Chicken Kabob Plate; it was the highlight of the meal. Overall, I’d suggest looking elsewhere for a more enjoyable dining experience.
