" Superb experience at Raya Lebanese. The food was authentic, packed with flavor, and served at a perfect temperature. The service was impeccable - our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The decor added to the charm of the restaurant. I would recommend their grape leaves as a starter; they were delightful! I’m looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my visit to Raya! The deliciousness of the food truly stood out. I had the kofta platter, with fresh garlic sauce on the side, and it was bursting with flavor! The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, a great place for a family meal. As if that wasn't enough, the staff were so warm and welcoming. I’m excited to come back for more Lebanese delights! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good experience overall at Raya. Though not perfect, they have a lot going for them. The atmosphere is laid-back, and the decorations give a nice touch. The food was generally good, but I wish the portions were a bit larger for the price. The service was friendly, but my order took longer than expected. I am considering giving them another chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Mediterranean restaurants, I was pleasantly surprised by my meal at Raya. The freshness of the ingredients really sets it apart, particularly in the dishes like tabouli and fattoush. The atmosphere is family-friendly and welcoming, which made it a perfect choice for our dinner outing. I will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for some authentic Lebanese flavors, you’ll find it at Raya! The herbs and spices used in every dish reveal their commitment to true Lebanese cuisine.

" 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*)
