Cafe Rakka

My friend would take me to a "Schwarma" style restaurant in North Hollywood, California. This place reminds me of it. My gosh, it's fabulous! I had the vegetarian platter with delicious hummus and assorted roasted vegetables, pita bread and Pomegranite tea. It was so good! Yes, they have many other dishes too with chicken, and lamb (check out their menu). Everything is seasoned to perfection, plentiful, and you get a lot of Pita bread with most dishes. By its nature, the food is very healthy, but does not lack taste or quality. Great service, and good prices too, about $$ what you'd expect for such good food! The parking is decent but can fill up quickly, so bring your truck, Tesla, covered wagon, or Camel and try a taste of the exotic! You'll be glad you did!

We are here as a family on June 18 ! I want to start with the staff!! The sweetest young ladies! They helped accommodate seating, told me about the different ways to order, went over the popular items and more! For the customer service alone it's worth driving to Hendersonville. The space is very casual, very relaxed. Come eat and chat at your will. You can order from a tablet or at the register with the staff. Find a seat inside or out. The hummus was sooo good! And so were the falafels. The lamb burger and shawarma were awesome but the lamb rice bowls lacked in flavor, I did get mild and should increase the spice level. The overall experience was good they have a nice size menu and I believe it's worth coming and trying more.

Cafe Rakka never fails to impress with their excellent service and welcoming staff. I had lunch with a new friend, confident that the delicious food and cozy atmosphere would make for a great time. It's always my top choice when I want a satisfying meal close to home, knowing that Chef consistently delivers flavorful dishes.

What acute little Middle Eastern lunch place. We happen to be in the neighborhood and stop by. Hubby had a chicken wrap sandwich and I had the chicken hummus bowl. If you don't think you can eat at all, make sure you get it in a to go container to start with. Scraping it off the plate into a container was a bit of a chore. Everything was super tasty. My only complaint was that the cucumbers were quite limp and they were only two of them on my hummus bowl

Visited cafe Rakka again and enjoyed lunch with a new friend. You scan the menu and order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Several vegan options to choose from which I was excited to try, they are marked vegan on the menu so it's easy to order. I was a bit disappointed to see they were out of baba ganoush which I was craving. The cold hibiscus tea was so refreshing with a slight hint of spice, I couldn't believe how flavorful it was. I ordered the falafel Arabi sandwich which had falafel, hummus, greens, pickled turnip, tomatoes and herbs and a tahini drizzle. It's served on a plate cut into slices so a bit messy to eat but so delicious! It's a generous size so I brought home half. The restaurant has a small dining room and outdoor covered patio area. Really a delicious spot to enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean.

Had a great meal here with a friend. The food is spectacular. I was looking for a good Lebanese or Mediterranean restaurant in the area that served lamb (other than gyro) and other favorite dishes. This place didn't disappoint! Fabulous all the way around and great service! Come check them out! I'm sure they'll win you over too

This place is a bit of a hidden gem. The food quality is very very good. The ambiance is nice though the location is a bit off the beaten track. I'd go here a lot more frequently if the prices were more reasonable. A typical full meal will cost you $30 or more. I'd say it is worth it but wish I could afford to go more often.

Super good food! I got the Lamb Yahkney which I've never heard of before but it was great- their rice is really well seasoned too. My husband got the Shawarma which I gotta say wasn't either of our favorites, it was pretty dry. A friend of mine got the Babaganoush plate and that was also super good! The pitas were fine, they didn't feel very made-in-house but I really enjoyed my meal. We ordered take out so no idea what the service or ambience is like. So maybe a 4 star for my husband but a 5 star from me

I can honestly see what the hype/food network feature is all about. I ordered the lentil soup, falafel Arabi sandwich and the mushroom and garlic hummus. Everything was rich and oozed with authenticity. I loved the flavors and freshness of every single item. We also ordered a salad... chef's kiss. Fresh and colorful veggies galore. I appreciated the time the staff took in answering my questions about their vegan offerings. So kind. Putting Rakka in rotation for sure!

I ordered hummus and asked for carrots and celery instead of pita due to eating gluten free. They barely gave me any carrots/celery. I had a lot of hummus left over when I ran out of the celery/carrots so I asked for more which they said would cost extra. At least give enough to be able to eat all the hummus! I really love some of the food here but feel that everything is way overpriced. It cost me over $70 to eat lunch - for 3 people. Portions are small and you don't get much meat for what they charge. I think they need to rethink the prices for some of the items.
