Our story
From Our Home Kitchen to the Heart of Glendale.
Raf'n Roll began with a simple idea: fresh, flavorful food with a twist of its own.
It started in our home kitchen. Today it is a small restaurant on East Broadway, where Raf bakes the bread in the tonir and fills it while it is still warm: ribeye, chicken, eggplant, and sauces made from scratch. The menu has grown, but the heart is the same: good ingredients, creative recipes, food made with care.
Come by, feel at home, and enjoy a meal made for you. Whether it’s your first visit or you’re already part of the Raf’n Roll family, there’s always a warm welcome waiting.
Same passion. New chapter.
Raf’n Roll. Time to Unroll.
Eggplant Beef Pocket
Soft eggplant and pan-fried wagyu beef, finished with our signature tomato sauce.
Chicken Breast Pocket

Caprese Pocket
Ripe tomato, pesto and cheese, finished with a balsamic drizzle.
One kitchen. Two ways to eat.
Every meat dish we cook comes both ways, with the same fire and the same flavors. You choose how you want it.
In a Pocket
Tonir bread, baked to order and filled with potato, meat and sauce. Made to hold in your hand.
On a Plate
