Ryan G. Poor Persian still blaming Arabs for his problems. The name "Omar" makes your blood boil you poor pathetic being. Iran can be a great nation competing with Turkey, China, India, and even the US and Europe. Because of your "Khomeini" revolution your country can now be compared to Afghanistan or SriLanka. It has been more than 1,400 years and you dummies are still bitching. Islam brought freedom to you people who were slaves to your King Kisra you little Kiri.
This place is a must-go-to-eat place . Always has fresh meats , staff is so professional and friendly , salads are superb, seriously it’s gem here in Glendale , Ca. Love Raffi’s Place !

Not just people from Mexico, basically any country from Central America. Here in NYC they staff the kitchens of all restaurants. Italian, Greek, Pizza joints, etc. I've worked with them and they are hardworking and dedicated AF. Many of them take the work because its available and is often paid in cash, which helps if you are undocumented. That also means they have no protections and no benefits. I would trust my life with any one of them. They are good people, not criminals. Criminals don't work in shitty jobs for little pay, they commit crimes.

Persia is sovereign in so many ways, including food. It's amazing how thing like kebabs are given their own twist and it still blends in. I might bring in one of my Persian friends to that restaurant if I go to California.
I live minutes from here and we go there once a month. Their appetizers are amazing. Some of the food is very similar. My favorite appetizer is the ikra (eggplant dip) and their yogurt and cucumber! Definitely recommend the place. A must try!

lol i can tell u how to cook it i'm persian some of them say these foods are mexican but they are persian food and they are not spicy! these foods are thousands years old lol
I ALWAYS love the Columbia! The food is delicious, the decor is fantastic, & the service is top notch. The Columbia takes you back to a time when eating out was a rare treat. The decor is over the top opulence with statues, chandeliers and tiles. Between the historical vibe and the fabulous Cuban food, the company store (where you can buy the scrumptious Cuban bread, their family cookbooks, or the beautiful Sangria pitchers) and easy parking options, The Columbia is a great choice for a casual lunch or dinner to impress!
Been going to Raffis for years! The food is so damn good! Everything tastes so good, the meats, the rice, the hummus and egg plant! And generous portions. 😋
i believe that food brings people together, no matter where you are from or background etc, so as I love cooking I am doing a around the world food recipe each month. so far I have done indian, Chinese, thai , Spanish , Mexican so this month I am doing Persian.....I can not wait.
I didn't have any of the food here but the bar itself was a nice place to hang out in, spacious and clean. I didn't hear any complaints about the drinks from my friends. Cool place to hang out.
I’ve worked in food and beverage departments for 15 years now and I must say all this American ,Armenian, Persian, Chinese, Indian, Jewish, foods are being cooked and prepared by Mexican cooks lol. All those restaurants you guys go and eat there’s a good 80% chance your eating food cooked by a Mexican.
This true. I was at Raffi’s recently, even the staff is Latino. I’m glad we Armenians and Latinos live together and experience each others culture. BTW, my favorite food of all time is Mexican food. I love Mole, Pozole, Menudo, Tamales and Chile relleno. 🇲🇽
@@jomanci I worded that improperly. What I meant was latinos, mestizos, mulatos, surviving descendants of the natives that lived in these lands before the raping and the pillaging by Spaniards and other Europeans! 😆
I knew this was going to say Raffi’s place before I even clicked it. I have been going to Raffi’s since 1986 and let me tell you they are truly the BEST Persian middle eastern restaurant in Los Angeles. I’ve ate at them all Orchid’s, Shiraz, Shamshiri. None of them have the consistency and amazing mouth watering flavor’s as Raffi’s. Hence why his business has grew from originally a literally hole in the wall restaurant to him buying out all the surrounding business and by 1990 making it the well known established and great business it is today.
Im kurdish from kurdistan iraq ur food absolutely like our food the differences r just some extra spices .. and we middle eastern always good with knife skills👌🏻
Since I was a kid, it always made me happy when I passed by local Iranian restaurants and noticed them packed with foreign customers. With the '79 Islamic revolution pretty much destroying any positive image we had in the world and throwing the country into the dark ages, I always liked seeing that our food, poetry and sports brought people together and shined a positive light on our land, aside from all the politics and religion. Also I've only been to Raffi's in Glendale once and their food is amazing!
All of the items on the menu here are vegan. We got the Jamaican Jerk. Was perfectly spiced and tasted great. The selection of locally brewed craft beer is awesome. The bartender was helpful in finding me the right beer by offering a sample. Can get super busy and seating is limited. Great place overall ! I would definitely recommend it if you're in the San Jose downtown area.
That is exactly right, I remember growing up in Tehran, owner of Khshnood was a great Armenian man called ' Shiran Baronian and his lovely wife' his partner of Ardabas( not a big fan of him!) Shiran was a great man, he was working in kitchen, he is in heaven now...
No offense but Armenian and Persians do not always co-exist and to get a completely non-Iranian Armenian woman to do this and allow her to appropriate our food by implying her family makes the same is completely wrong.. not helping the middle east western stereotypes
actually, people of Azerbaijan are Turkish too they prefer to call themselves as Turk. Turkey Turks and Azerbaijan Turks are like a brother they talk almost language (with the different accent only) and share the same culture. Name of Azeri is given to them by Russians to make them forget their identities.
kadiqoyly yaralı dude! It seems delusion of panturkism is all over ur country. Real Turks are from central Asia closed to Mongolia and China. Xinjiang is a real land of real Turks. Even nowadays there is an area that in Kazakhstan named Turkistan. ur most country Turkey originally are Circisians, Greeks, Romans,Georgians, Kurds, Azeris, Russians, Persians, Romans, Arabs, Bulgars and Balkanizes who assimilated by ghuz Turks and mustafa kamal pasha wanted to unify that area by naming everyone as a turk. Still more than 15 million Kurds live in ur country.Izmir city and all the area around it people speak Greek and are originally Greeks even you can see Roman and Greek architectures all over the city. What r u talking about? 😂😂😂😂😂 Azerbaijan is the same thing. A country full of Azeris, Georgians, Kurds, Kurmanj, Lezgis, Abkhasis, Russians, Armenians, Tats, Talishs, Tajiks, Persians and Turks which seprated from Persia not more than 200 years ago becuase of oil. u Turks (AKA Circisians) Think that there was no people, ethnic or nation ever existed before ottoman empire. I remember when I read a turkish newspaper which claimed in even native American Indians, Elvis Parsley and Lady Gaga were Turks 😂😂😂😂😂, Believe me before even ottoman empire existed, Greek Empire, Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Russian Empire, Abkhaz Empire ruled the whole Caucasia and Anatoly.

@thomas anderson so eastern Europeans are not white then? White refers to how people see you. If most people in a society think you're white, then you are. That's how the italian and Irish became white. Public opinion changed
I have eaten plenty of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern Food or some Christians who are afraid to eat food like this will call it “Arab or Muslim Food,” - (FYI: Jesus ate this type of food, so do not be scared Christian extremist, I promise you will like it). Raffi’s is one of the best eatery in LA. My friend for more than 15 years brought me here for the first time. I didn’t know my friend asked me out on a date because we eat out or hang-out frequently, but this is where she took me and I was confused as to what was going on and she was very happy and I was very hungry 😂. I will never forget the experience and the food that’s for sure 😜.
I haven't been to Raffi's since 2006 or '07? The food was delicious, at least back then. Now there's so many kabobs places in Glendale, it's unbelievable. I wish all of them much continued success. But nothing like bbqing at your house. Picking that meat off the grill with the juices running out and extremely hot in your mouth. I will be having some lamb kabobs this coming Friday or Saturday for sure now.

Kamil Sarızeybek why u r worried about my answer to him? 😁😁😁 is he ur father or related to u somehow?! So mind ur business. I didn’t say anything wrong either. Why u got so upset about that? Relax and take a deep breath and read it carefully again. About your last sentence u couldn’t express urself in proper english. Probably u thought turkish and wanted to translated in english which is not working. But from ur broken english it seems some of u yeniceris and turkified circassians have a deep place of Persians, Azeris, Kurds, Arabs, Greeks, Georgians, Russians and Armenians in ur conscious because u guys have stolen a lot from their cultures, Languages, Famous people and cuisines. So 😉🤗🤗
@@billsmart2726 what's wrong with u..? I ain't written nothing wrong .i only tried to say ' you seem very much concerned about TURKS'..i didn't cuss at you or never claimed you're wrong..but maybe it's you who's in struggle to find his real daddy..why' don't u go and ask your mom, brainless bumphead ?
Have been in this restaurant. I can say it has one of the best foods I have ever had. Amazing quality , quantity and taste

I’m of Italian origin and us grease balls have a pretty good cuisine. But middle eastern cuisine is so beautiful.
Nice
The food look so good! I’m drooling
Kurdish food is just slightly different than Persian food, we make a mean Kebab!☺
And Mean warriors! God Bless the Kurds. Love all the way from East Africa.
So true

@@Mohamed-ok2ic Thanks, I live in Kansas City, Missouri, but the peshmerga, pkk, and ypg are badass warriors!😊
@@bluebird4417 👍
I'm Iranian-Armenian so all these foods are veery familiar for me.
That white girl dam well know what she eating talking bout some she grew up eating that lmaoOoooo can’t even pronounce it right 💀💀💀
Shes armenian not white
@thomas anderson so eastern Europeans are not white then? White refers to how people see you. If most people in a society think you're white, then you are. That's how the italian and Irish became white. Public opinion changed
She is Iranian
I’m Armenian and if you saw me, you would think I’m from Northern Africa. We Armenians don’t have a color. Sorry. 🤷🏽
Great variety in Persian food.
Where’s the Asian girl?!?!? 😠
I have eaten plenty of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern Food or some Christians who are afraid to eat food like this will call it “Arab or Muslim Food,” - (FYI: Jesus ate this type of food, so do not be scared Christian extremist, I promise you will like it). Raffi’s is one of the best eatery in LA. My friend for more than 15 years brought me here for the first time. I didn’t know my friend asked me out on a date because we eat out or hang-out frequently, but this is where she took me and I was confused as to what was going on and she was very happy and I was very hungry 😂. I will never forget the experience and the food that’s for sure 😜.
3:23 Either she sucks at explaining mast-o-musir or she has no taste buds. mast-o-musir shouldn't be "peppery" it should be garlicy lmfao.
I haven't been to Raffi's since 2006 or '07? The food was delicious, at least back then. Now there's so many kabobs places in Glendale, it's unbelievable. I wish all of them much continued success. But nothing like bbqing at your house. Picking that meat off the grill with the juices running out and extremely hot in your mouth. I will be having some lamb kabobs this coming Friday or Saturday for sure now.
Why did I get this recommended after the assassination of an Iranian scientist ? 👀
The interior designs of a persian restaurant is very welcoming for a night 🌃 out
First of all they are ARMENIAN FROM IRAN. Recognize .
ONE OF THE BEST restaurants in LA!!
That's just common middle eastern foods
And this comment is huge rude :)
@@ensjoong1117 I am Palestinian

Did you ever taste it ? Nah. I‘m arab/ persian / spanish and let me tell you arab food is so much different than persian food.
@@mellyjadore461 yes bro I am Palestinian and frankly we all kinda cook the same with some different dishes but we use the same flavors
A Glendale/LA staple. One of the restaurants I miss the most not living in LA anymore.
