At Raffi’s on Fifth, owner Raffi Denerdjian borrows from French, Italian, Middle Eastern, and Spanish cuisines to craft a menu of Mediterranean-style dishes. Rice, pine nuts, and currants nestle into grape leaves ($6.95 dinner; $4.95 lunch) as an appetizing prelude to salmon ($19.95 dinner; $13.95 lunch) and rib eye steak ($24.95 dinner; $16.95 dinner), both flame-kissed by a coquettish grill, and lamb chops ($27.95) flanked by couscous, basil paste, and natural jus.
Rice pilaf and a house green salad accompany lunchtime sandwiches⎯including sautéed lamb pressed between bread with bell peppers and tomato ($8.95)⎯that fill tables underneath a 40-foot ceiling flanked by exposed-brick walls. Raffi’s industrial interior is awash in Middle Eastern accents, including rugs, paintings, and retired genies wishing for leftovers.
