" I had an incredible experience at Raya Lebanese Restaurant! The ambiance was inviting and the food was simply divine. I ordered the mixed platter, which had a variety of proteins all prepared to perfection. The lamb was tender and flavorful, and the baba ghanoush was one of the best I've ever tasted. Plus, the prices are quite reasonable for the quality you receive. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ventured into Raya with high expectations after reading the reviews, but I found it a little disappointing. The atmosphere was nice, and the portions were decent, but the flavors lacked the zest I anticipated. The staff was polite, but service felt disorganized at times. I might visit again to give it another chance, but it wasn't what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Raya was pleasant. The place has a charming atmosphere, but the meal wasn’t consistent. The falafel wrap was one of the better things I’ve had there, but I was disappointed when my friend’s shawarma had very little seasoning and was bland. The service left something to be desired - it seemed like our server was a bit overwhelmed. We might give it another chance in the future, but only because we have heard good things about other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time at Raya, and overall, I had a nice experience, but it could use some improvement. While the garlic bread was amazing, the rest of my meal fell flat. My kabob was overcooked and lacked seasoning, which was disappointing. The atmosphere is decent, but a bit more decor could elevate the space. Overall, just an okay experience for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Raya was okay but not outstanding. While the food was decent, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. The tzatziki sauce was really good, but the gyro was a touch dry. Service was prompt, but I felt the staff were a bit rushed despite the restaurant being relatively quiet. The place is cozy, but I expected more than just average food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant to try this restaurant after hearing mixed reviews but decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised, as the food was flavorful! At the same time, the portions were a bit on the smaller side, especially for the price. The service was okay. I’d recommend it for a casual meal but temper expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was a bit disappointed. I went to Raya expecting authentic Lebanese flavors based on the reviews, but there were a few things that didn't hit the mark for me. The grape leaves were underwhelming and not as fresh as I envisioned. Service was also a tad slow during my visit, which affected my overall experience. However, I must admit the décor gave a nice cozy vibe. " (*Curated Review*)
