Rafi’s Platter by Amber

I would give this restaurant 15 stars if I could! WOW! We started with the Tandoori Chicken Morsels and it was the best chicken I've ever had! I also ordered the French Onion Soup to start. It's seemed so interesting to have on the menu, so I thought I'd give it a shot. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Best onion soup I've had EVER! They even put a pair of scissors to cut the cheese pull! 😂👏🏻 Next, I had the Amber's Spicy Tikka Masala with chicken. I have never tasted anything SO AMAZING! SO SO SO SO SO SO absolutely delicious! My husband ordered a sampler plate of a few Indian dishes, and they were all excellent. I cannot recommend this restaurant more! FANTASTIC!

Rafi's Platter never disappoints.
Decor, Taste & Service are always on point.

Don't miss as it is a must visit spot in Elicottville.

The good was awesome! My daughter got the kids mac and cheese with an order of fries and I ordered the kabobs. The mac and cheese was delicious and some of the best french fries I've ever had. They don't close their kitchen early like everybody else which really made them stand out. Definitely a must go to place for dinner.

Fresh quality food cooked to order by owners. Brilliantly seasoned flavors exploded off the plate. Plum sauce is 2nd generation family recipe. Diverse menu had something for everyone. Generous portions. Good value for EllicottVille. Live music was added touch.

The staff and restaurant is amazing! The food is to die for! So stuffed we could barely finish! We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

Words can’t describe how amazing this experience was. My family and I are a mix of adventurous eaters and picky ones, but there was something for all of us. For starters, our server Jen was probably THE nicest person to ever live. She gave us amazing suggestions and her hospitality warmed our hearts, as well as the curry. We all got something different and every dish was more perfect than the last. EllicottVille is very generic with its cuisine but we encourage you to go on a journey to this Mediterranean tour. All smiles and love from this location so please go support!!!

We stopped in Rafi’s Platter location in Ellicottville New York this past Saturday during Fall Fest to meet some friends. My wife and I have never been in here before. So we sat at the bar with our group a were taken care of by the very professional bartender Martin ! He kept track of all of our orders and treated us with class! We’ve never had real Pakistani food and it was amazing! From the Kabobs and coconut shrimp to the spicy Lentil soup , etc! By spicy it’s not hot spice but delightfully flavorful! We meet the owner Amber and got to know about her , her husband who’s the Chef and her back story of coming from Pakistan in 96 and to the true American Dream !! She’s adorable! Check it out !

Coconut grouper is beyond words delicious. The quality of the fish made the meal, just spectacular. The french onion soup was done to perfection, I would've slurped the remnants if I were at home. Brielle our waitress was wonderfully patient and attentive. Couldn't ask for a better experience. I'm finishing my leftovers (yes grouper leftovers it was that filling and good, it reheated so easily, no stink) and felt compelled to share because everything is as delicious as it was a couple days ago. Great job, can't wait to come back.

Amazing entertainment!! Rick from Portville was THE MOST WONDERFUL ENTERTAINER this evening. The food was beyond great but his entertainment made it even better. We will be paying attention to when he is back. Biggest Fans!! 😂 we had pasta with chicken and the kabobs, both cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The basmati rice was on point and the raspberry tart for dessert...WOW! It was light and refreshing and a perfect end to dinner. The owner, Amber, even can out to ask how our experience was. She was perfectly genuine and took the moment to spend at each table to thank them and take their feedback. Wendy, our waitress, was busier than ever and somehow pulled it off. She was always smiley and took care care of us despite how busy she was. We will be returning for dinner again and SOON.

My wife and I came down for the weekend and were able to book a same-day reservation at 730pm. Place was packed (to us, this is a good sign) so we waited for our table to be ready since we were a few minutes early (~10min wait). Menu is cross between Italian / Greek / Mediterranean and I guess Pakistani / Indian so quite the mouthful (no pun intended) in terms of choices. Excellent food and portions - skip all the other American bar-food restaurants in the town and come here. My wife also said that she would "swim in the Tikka Masala Curry"... I think that's good.

Great service and amazing food! Drove an hour from Buffalo to Ellicotville. Would make the drive again just for this menu.

Our first time in for dinner. The food was delicious. The portions were large enough that both my wife and I had leftovers to bring home. Our server, Brielle, was pleasant, knowledgeable and prompt. We will definitely be back for more!

Just ate there again last night, can't help myself, the coconut grouper is a must!! Moist, flavorful. The service is right on, prices are reasonable too. The name is changing to Kabob House. We drove in from buffalo, so worth it

Very good food. If you get the Tandoori Pasta, make sure to add chicken. No, it's not on the menu. But just add it.

My only complaint, which isn't going to change the star rating because it's minor, is the manager had our server charge us two different prices for adding chicken. Slight red flag that the manager may not pay attention to what is going on. But the server was awesome. Manager schmanager.

Amazing food lobster mac and cheese killed it! I had a platter with different types of tiki masala wow! Seafood platter outstanding and our waitress was phenomenal. We had online reservations at another place but they lost our reservations and we came here instead best restaurant screw up ever!!!!

We just enjoyed fantastic takeout from Raffi's. The dishes are varied and quite tasty and spicy in some cases but not overpowering. The shrimp scampi ravioli with cheesy sauce was delicate and unique. Their homemade chips and spicy veg dip is terrific. The mixed grill is enough for two with aromatic rice and very good homemade tzatziki with fresh pita bread. Try this you will be so happy you did. Welcome to town Raffi's !!!!!!!

The best food in Ellicottville (and dare I say WNY!) Indian/Pakistani and Mediterranean dishes packed withwith an insane amount of flavor, HUGE portions and also the cheapest drinks in town. A great family atmosphere and fun bar scene in the later hours! After 11 PM on Friday and Saturday you get free house made chips and salsa and pita with tzaziki sauce at the bar. Would recommend this place every single time! Absolutely love it here.

Absolutely phenomenal food! Tikka Masala is amazing! Samosas were wonderful as well. Great, fast service even though they were busy in a cozy setting. 5 stars!

We just shared some appetizers here for a late lunch/early dinner and they were fantastic! Also accommodating of gluten free diets. Lovely atmosphere and food.

Highly recommend the food for anyone who enjoys flavorful dinner. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it. Portions are huge, authentic, and carry exquisite taste.
