    The meal was really good. We had the mixed grill for 2 and the lamb and chicken were nice and tender. I had calamari to start that wasnt bad but a bit chewy I have had better. We would go back again

    Very nice restaurant which we use for special occasions as it is a cut above somewhere to go just for a meal. Great location especially in summer when you can sit outside looking at the lake. Little disappointed this time with the mixed grill as lamb chop was fatty and rib had little meat but waitress apologised and discounted the bill.

    Had a really super meal. We all had the meze which was delicious. We had a window seat overlooking the beautiful park. The staff were very friendly & the service very efficient. A hidden gem.

    I have been here a couple of times before and my experience has been pleasant. This time I brought some friends in which it was my recommendation, I was disappointed that my friends meat was fatty and chewy with the shared mixed grill dish and the rice was cold. I felt a little embarrassed as this was my recommendation. I love the Raphael’s location and beautiful atmosphere. I am surprised for a Friday evening this place should be filled to the brim. Something is missing, maybe the quality of food needs to be at a very high standard for people to return. I have visited many Turkish restaurants and Lara grill in Dagenham is a better quality food than Raphael’s. Maybe staff / chef could take a visit to Lara grill on a Friday Evening to see what Raphael’s is missing. I do not think these friends I brought will return to Raphael’s in the future. I may return in the future as I love the atmosphere and beautiful fountain in the lake. I hope my feedback has been helpful. Kind regards Jean
