Rayoog Cafe

If you’re looking for a phenomenal Arabic-Turkish style breakfast/brunch experience, look no further than Rayoog Cafe. Their menu is a culinary masterpiece, very authentic with an incredible variety of Turkish dishes. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making your visit a true pleasure. I had brunch at Rayoog Cafe today and I was amazed– it’s truly a must-visit destination for any food lover.

!!HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!

Why is this place rated 5 stars? The divine quality of the food! I have never tasted cream or cheese so good 🤯 Not only is the quality of the food exquisite, the talented staff make it a whole experience with how it's presented.

It is on the pricier side, but you deserve to spoil yourself and be bougie from time to time 🥰🏆 This is a perfect spot for date night or a get-together with friends - You're not getting full off of an entree, but rather trying new foods and combinations of flavors in smaller dishes, paired with a comforting tea.

Would highly recommend and will be back!

Tried this place for the first time today, we decided to stop by for lunch. We ordered the special mam’s tray. It was plenty of food. Everything that it came with was delicious, and their tea is really good! They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to sit outside since the weather was really nice. I highly recommend trying this place out, you won’t regret it.

What a lovely way to spend the afternoon! Very unique experience that you have to try. So many flavors and we have never tried before and the Turkish coffee was delicious too. Service, food and atmosphere all perfect.

So glad to have great restaurant choices in #gilbertaz like @raygoocafe!!! The food is delicious and the coffee is amazing! Bring the family and enjoy the service, beautiful space and welcoming ambiance. The owners are friendly and make you feel like family. I can’t wait to come back 🙌🏼

Looking for authentic food from the Middle East this is it! The owner is from Iraq and the food is divine. So many flavors you won’t be disappointed. The cheese boat melts in your mouth. Be sure to save room for dessert it was phenomenal.

Great Middle Eastern food! Everything is fresh and comes out looking outstanding. Priced very well and you get lots of food... we left very full!
It is small inside with limited amounts of tables, so be prepared to wait, as it stays pretty busy... but well worth the wait. There is a nice outside patio that will be nice in the cooler months.
Highly recommend!! Mam Tray and salami boat are outstanding!

The VIP Rayoog offered such a delicious variety of food. I love that they are Halal. Not eating pork can make breakfast/brunch hard to find. Despite being very busy the service was great! Will definitely be back.

I love Rayoog! If you are tired of having western brunch you need to come here. Fresh authentic food. We leave feeling full and satisfied. Try the not fried dish , man’s tray , spinach omelette and various side dishes. I’m in love with blue jam. If you’re unsure of ordering the wait staff can guide you to food paradise. The hot black tea and Turkish coffee are winners. What are you waiting for hurry in .
Thank you for the wonderful meals.

I learned about this place in a community Facebook group. Someone said they serve a “Mediterranean breakfast”. I was intrigued and took a chance. This restaurant did not disappoint. The Turkish coffee was delightful. The menu options were more “lunch-ish” to me but I assume the cuisine in the Middle East during breakfast it just different from the states. If you have an adventurous palate and prefer savory flavors to sweet you HAVE to try this place. I will definitely be going back.

Ordered the Arabic Wayfrom the Rayoog VIP section of the menu. Apart from it being delicious beyond my expectation, they use quality ingredients. The vibes were right for any setting, indoor or outdoor! I recommend the Karak Tea to go along with it!

Incredible food! Nothing on the menu I wouldn’t order again. The vibe and the presentation of the food is really something. Get the Special Mam!

A very pleasant restaurant. Exceedingly friendly staff. Food was obviously crafted with care. Every bit was absolutely delicious!!! The price was very reasonable for the amazing assortment of delicacies placed on the table before us. They have all your favorite Mediterranean foods with the slightest twist on a few classics that really made it feel special.
Had the VIP Rayoog. A platter with 25 different tastes ranging the gamut from sweet to tangy to savory.
Will definitely be back!

My favorite breakfast spot in AZ. I’m a regular here; I’ve come here so often the entire staff recognizes me. Rayoog offers a Middle Eastern style breakfast experience which means tons of small plates to share with family and friends. The food here is absolutely delicious. Each item is light, flavorful, and just downright yummy. Everything is made from organic ingredients and spices made by hand. I’ve come here for their regular breakfast as well as their Ramadan special suhoor buffet and every experience has been spectacular. And it’s HALAL! I highly recommend this to everyone!

I recently visited Rayoog Cafe for breakfast and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. The shakshuka was flavorful and expertly prepared, and the baklava was some of the best I've ever had. The toast was also perfectly crisp and topped with a variety of delicious and colorful spreads. The menu had a wide variety of options, so no matter how experienced you are with Middle Eastern food, there's something you'll enjoy. But what really set Rayoog Cafe apart for me was the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The owner was especially friendly and took the time to chat with us and make sure we were enjoying our meal. The service was also top-notch, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. I highly recommend Rayoog Cafe to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Middle Eastern breakfast experience. I've been in twice already and I'll be eating there a lot in the future!

A foodie’s dream! What a lovely brunch experience. I’ve found my new fancy spot to take all my friends and visitors! We ordered the full tea service and another thing I forgot the name of… everything was delicious. It was like an adventure, having all these little plates of delectable tidbits, putting different bites together it was so much fun. A joyful feasting experience. Can’t wait to have an excuse to go back. Yum!

Rayoog cafe is the best Arabic breakfast restaurants that I’ve ever come in contact with. I moved to Tempe for school, and I’ve been feeling so homesick lately. I came in today craving a little taste of home, and it made all the difference. My waiter gave me a complimentary black tea, and was so attentive to any of the table’s needs regardless of us sitting outside in the balcony. I would recommend this restaurant for anybody wanting a taste of home. Amazing shakshuka, amazing yogurt, amazing eggplant salad, etc. ❤❤

Every thing about this restaurant is amazing, the food, the service and the quality. We don’t have many Mediterranean restaurants in phoenix but thankfully we have this restaurant as a breakfast place. You really feel at home. What a great place to start your day at. We hope you enjoy it as we did!

P.S don’t skip the Turkish coffee, it’s amazing ❤

The environment is quaint with touches of modern esthetics. The staff was very friendly although not overly attentive. The food was really solid and everything I had I enjoyed. The baklava ice cream sandwich is a must have!

Wow! This restaurant is amazing. The service was top notch and the food... Words cannot describe how the chef assembled a wide variety of flavors to achieve culinary excellence. This is my new favorite breakfast and brunch spot. I can't wait to come back!
