" I must say, my dining experience at Rafaelis was beyond my expectations. The service was really attentive but not intrusive, which I appreciated. The quality of food and its authentic taste was definitely a highlight, and our table enjoyed everything from appetizers to entrees. However, the dessert was a tad underwhelming compared to the main courses. Still, I would return for the savory dishes alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rafaeli's Palace is a hidden gem! I stumbled upon this delightful restaurant and was impressed by the variety on their menu. I tried the lagman and it was just perfect—comfort food at its best! The staff was friendly but a bit overwhelmed during our visit, which led to minor delays in service. Still, the wait was worth it. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a genuine taste of Uzbek cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

Our server was exceptional, continuously checking in on us and making great meal recommendations. The highlight was definitely the samsa; it was filled with savory goodness! Overall, wonderful food and service—all of us left promising to be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was intrigued after hearing all the buzz about Rafaelis Palace, so I decided to try it out. While I really enjoyed some of the dishes like the pilaf, others fell flat in terms of flavor and freshness. The ambiance is lively, which I appreciated, but I believe the food needs to be more consistent to make a lasting impression. " (*Curated Review*)
