It was an unusually rainy day in August when my son asks, “Have you ever had a lamb burger?”
“Never even heard of one.” I said.
“Oh, we gotta spot. You have to try one.” He seems excited.
Off we go through the wind and the rain. I’m secretly thinking, “is this going to be worth the trouble?”
Turns out, it was. We loved it. It was worth every bit of trouble. My son and my wife had the lamb burger and I had the lamb wrap. There were both outstanding, a distinctive Mediterranean flavor but not overdone with spices.
We ate like kings and queens while Herbie Hancock’s “Maiden Voyage” played on the speakers overhead. There’s just something soothing about smooth, classic jazz while you eat.
We give Cafe Rakka five stars. Thanks for a great meal.

We visited early in the day just after opening. The young man behind the register seemed to be struggling to be ready to open. We were told that today was the first time that they had opened since the tornado came through a week before. We placed our order and sat to wait. The food came out in a timely fashion and was quite good. We had order a "house water" as a drink when we placed our order. We were told by the young man that he would bring it out. Each time he came to our table (first to clean it, them the silverware, then the two entrees) he would yell us that he was getting the water. Finally I walked up to the counter to tell him I would just buy a bottle of water instead. He then poured up the water and gave it to me. We had also ordered Baba Ghanoush but when I went to get the water, I asked about it and was told that I didn't order it. No apology given for his mistake of not hearing it when both my wife and I said it.
In light of the recent storm damage to the area, and the fact that it may ha e just been a rough start to the day, we will give them another chance in the future.
Amazing food! I had the grilled chicken hummus bowl and my husband had the lamb shawarma hummus bowl. You can customize the spice level (mild, medium, hot), so I got mine mild and my husband had medium. He said the medium definitely had a kick to it. Both dishes were incredible, and came with a side of wonderful fresh pita bread. We also had a side of falafel, and it was probably the best we’ve ever had. Huge portions and super fresh! Everything is made with olive oil, so it’s very clean. I’m also dairy-free, and the food was very allergen-friendly for me. Highly, highly recommend!
