Reviews
I met Chef Rafaeli a few weeks before my wife’s birthday when I came in for a consultation. From the very first moment, it was clear that he is extremely knowledgeable and highly respected. We sat and spoke for about 45 minutes, during which he explained everything from A to Z and assured me that the event would be absolutely perfect.
I trusted him with my wife’s birthday celebration—and I can honestly say I have zero regrets. The elegance of the venue, the incredible food, and the overall execution were outstanding. Chef Rafaeli is truly a magician. DJ Nathan was fantastic, the energy was amazing, and Chef Rafaeli personally made sure that every guest was happy and enjoying themselves.
The atmosphere was simply above and beyond. If you are looking for a place to celebrate any special occasion, take my word for it, go to this restaurant. You will not regret it. We definitely be back….
Every dish is beautifully, You can feel the care in every bite, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the rich, homemade flavors. This is not just dining, it’s an experience. If you appreciate great food, warm hospitality, and top-level service, Rafaelis Palace is the place to be. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve hired Rafaelus Palace for catering events at my home multiple times, and I want to be completely honest — I do a lot of private events, and from the day I met Chef Rafaeli, I never even thought about bringing in anyone else.
His level of professionalism is extremely high. His entire team is outstanding. They arrive at my home and take care of absolutely everything — they carefully remove the furniture, bring in their own tables and chairs, and set up the entire space beautifully. I don’t have to provide a single thing.
All the food is fully prepared by them. They only use my kitchen to warm up the dishes. They stay for the entire service and bring their own professional servers.
Every single time, my guests are absolutely amazed.
We have now used Chef Rafaeli and his team seven times — and we keep bringing them back again and again. We truly feel lucky to have them like family.
To anyone considering catering: don’t even think twice about the price. You are getting a fully professional chef who delivers top quality, top service, and fair pricing.
I highly, highly recommend them to everyone.
We arrived at 10:50 PM, right as they were about to close, and instead of turning us away, they welcomed us in warmly and treated us like honored guests.
The tood was absolutely outstanding-authentic Bukharian cuisine made with clear care and pride. Everything tasted homemade, from the creamy hummus and perfectly balanced pickled vegetables to the incredibly juicy, flavorful meats. Not a single dish disappointed.
Service was fast, attentive, and genuinely kind, especially considering how late it was.
The combination of top-notch service, incredible food, and their willingness to accommodate us so late made this an all-around amazing experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be coming back!
I also tried the soups the Lagman was rich and full of flavor, and the Mantu dumplings were delicious and homemade. Everything tasted authentic and comforting.
The place was clean, the service was friendly, and the portions were generous. Definitely one of the best Kosher spots in Queens can’t wait to come back!
The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, and I couldn’t resist trying all their kebabs, which was cooked to perfection, as well as the arayes. The flavors were vibrant and fresh, and it was clear that high-quality ingredients were used.
I also appreciated the thoughtful presentation of each dish; it truly enhanced the dining experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Rapfaelis Palace to anyone looking for a great meal. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!
The food was fresh, homemade, and genuinely excellent. One of the highlights was a house-made juice from a fruit I’d never had before—absolutely delicious and clearly made with care. At one point, they even let us put our phone on the TV so we could watch hockey, which tells you everything you need to know about the vibe here.
They sat with us, talked with us, and treated us like guests in their home, not customers on the clock. We drove all the way from Connecticut, and this place alone is reason enough to come back—and we absolutely will, many times.
Outstanding kosher food, warm atmosphere, and unique specialties. A true hidden gem. Don’t miss it.
