Rifca's Mediterranean Kitchen - York

It’s has been long time that I have tried falafel and my craving for Mediterranean food took to Rifca. Restaurant is open till late around 10pm so good place for late dinner. It has a small dinning place and old rustic look. We ordered large falafel wrap and it comes with crispy falafel. Falafel is fried to perfection and tastes really good. There seasame hot sauce is perfect and goes nice with the wrap. We also ordered baba ganoush with pita and trust me that was the last plate and all the ganoush was over and restaurant was out of it.

I recently returned to Rifca's after a few years and was pleased to find that they still cook their falafel fresh. It may take a bit longer, but the result is worth it - crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside. With all the standard toppings, you get a mix of salty, bitter, smooth from tahini and hummus, and crunchy from pickles and turnip. The only thing that would have improved my meal is if they had freshly baked pita.

If you love mediterranean food have to try Rifca's Mediterranean Kitchen. Food was delicious, reasonably priced and the service was great!! Definitely will be coming back soon.

Great Flavour!. Came in with my wife for a quick bite. She had a small falafel I had the large Chicken Shawarma with Lentil soup. The latter was tasty with good heat flavour, the soup was good but tasted more Indian than we expected. Her falafel was the same with good heat flavour but it was left open and not wrapped, as we are accustomed to, so it got quite messy and saucy a few bites in (not sure if we had to ask for it to be wrapped). Overall good eats at reasonable prices.

Best shawarma plate in Richmond Hill. The plate was full and it was just right. Loved the hummus
