Great Family spot, they even put some complimentary watermelon for us to enjoy.......it was such a hot summer day too.....HOW THOUGHTFUL. The selection is phenomenal, everything was really flavorful and cooked to perfection. I love the flavor of the lentils.....so yummy....Cant wait for you guys to open back up the dining room, so we can enjoy the atmosphere. Glad your in the neighborhood, well be back to visit soon. Be well and Stay safe.....Blessings for you all!!!
Best Greek food in the area. I love their chicken kabob and garlic dipping sauce.
A charming and well lit venue off a small street. Aristotle Cafe serves general Mediterranean cuisine offerings. I ordered the gyros lunch platter which included salad, hummus, and pitas bread. The hummus was exceptional. Salad was a basic offering served with vinaigrette. Gyros was ok. Not the best in my opinion. However I still enjoyed the meal and it was served with watermelon slices as a dessert to end the meal. The ice tea is also another highlight and highly recommended.
Great spot. A bit pricey but very delicious flavors and worth the trip!
I like this restaurant! They have excellent meals, they have a rich menu, The chief cook in that spot is a real pro, I enjoy very much eating all their dishes. The food is always of high qualtity, the service towards the customers is agreeable. I visit often this restaurant and I not even once was unsatisfied. Highly recommended.
The garlic butter spread (made on-site) is absolutely divine, havent found another place which comes close to rivaling theirs! Must add it on everything to enhance their already delicious food
The food here has been fantastic every time. You can tell they make everything with love and care. The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere and everyone is very friendly.
Ordered the Chicken Kabob plate and really enjoyed it! It was fresh, portion was big and the homemade hummus was excellent. Thank you!!
I their food it’s delicious and fresh! Friendly and quick service! Thank you!
Wow its like a whole new world unfolded right in front of me. The taste and flavor surpass any of my expectations I had for this place. First time but not the last for sure. I assure you that the food is worth the price. Im a new customer thats happy to discover a new go to place. Thank you to everyone that works thier.
Woww!! Best food ever. I have tried every halal restaurant here in LA. But hats off to this restaurant. The guy is super nice, and the food is delicious! I usually dont give feedback but their food deserves it. 10/10
I take my family to this lovely place quite often! This is my favorite place to have a bite. I visit this spot regularly. The meals are of high quality, the staff is polite and the rates are good. I like meeting in this restaurant over a rich dinner.
This place hasnt been around for decades without knowing what theyre doing when it comes to good food. The chicken and salmon here are scrumptious. Just absolutely delicious! Id tried Baklava before and wasnt too keen on it but after trying it here, WOW! I didnt know it could taste that good! The only downside to this place is the hours. They dont have traditional restaurant hours and now with COVID, the opportunities to try their food are even more limited. If you do get a chance though, I highly recommend this place if you like Mediterranean food.
Really good authentic tasting Mediterranean food. Everything is seasoned well and the hummus is homemade! Awesome. Must try
40 minutes round trip! Well MF worth it! The food is amazing! Fresh high quality ingredients. Good portion size at a great price. I’m definitely going back when I get the craving for Greek food. It’s the best. I ate every bite in one session. No left overs.Jerry
Associate are extremely polite, no waiting much for food.Excellent place to eat.
The best baklava youll ever have! And the hummus is amazing too.
This restaurant is a gem! Amazing and well prepared food with excellent service. Best of its kind in the South Bay Area.
Fresh flavorful food, very warm service, family owned.
Outstanding place for tasty Mediterranean food. I wish there were more places like this around town. The bill was good for what you get. This place has many great reviews for a reason.
Aristo cafe has some of the best, albeit a little pricey, Greek food in the area.
Nice spot for mediterranean food. Quick, helpful, and friendly service. This place has a good feel to it.
This Mediterranean food has got to be hands down some of the best Mediterranean cuisine I have had in many years! I ordered the Chicken Kabob lunch plate, and the portion size was amazing! The chicken was coated in amazing flavor, the hummus was delicious, and the side of garlic sauce (extra $0.50) was the best garlic sauce I’ve ever had!! Highly recommend this place to everyone.
Family run. Fantastic Mediterranean food
Wow great proportion sizes. Price is high but fair for whats received. Really cute little bistro like atmosphere. Offers an alfresco dining experience. Reserve parking can be found in the rear of the location. Limited seating but seems to be sufficient. Customer service was excellent and swift
Very neat and convenient spot. They serve generous meals and for economical rates. We enjoyed the menu a lot and the staff were very welcoming and informative. Will definitely recommend this place.
The food is always fresh and yummy, workers hands over good customer service. I loved how neat it is and atmosphere. Worth a try.
We found this place quite by accident as we were riding down Hawthorne Boulevard. To our delight, the food was excellent. First, it has free parking (something so unusual in L.A.). Its a small and simple place. The first sign was it was almost full the day after Christmas. The service was great with one waitress who was very attentive. They start you with warm pita bread and hummus (yum!). This is followed with a small green salad. We ordered Kafta and Gyro lunch specials which are served with Jasmine rice, salad, hummus. This meal was absolutely delicious.
Nice quaint place with fresh home cooked Mediterranean food. Its a local favorite like Cheers, where everyone knows your name and you get the usual. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. Salads are so colorful and everything is decorated so pretty. You wont regret ordering the chicken, gyros, or lamb. And dont leave with getting Sossys baklava made daily!
We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. We loved the excellent atmosphere and the meals. The staff are very affable. I am content we eventually decided to visit this spot.
Great food and great vegetarian choices.
Love this restaurant. One of the best in the South Bay area. Have been coming here for over 15 years. Consistently good food and friendly service. Its a family run operation.Recommend the kabob plates. Especially the chicken kabob or beef kabobs. Order the garlic butter on the side if your meal doesnt come with it.They also include warm pita bread and hummus for free. Most meals also come with a soup or salad included. This restaurant is a must try if you like Greek or Mediterranean food!
Awesome gyro sandwich, best in the area in my opinion. And my wife loves the Misto Vegetariana.
Finest place to get some food when in a hurry. The service is efficient, prices are fair, fantastic character. Will visit here again
The meals and service were above our expectations. We really enjoyed the environment of this spot. First-rate spot to take the family out for lunch.
Tried this spot before with a friend and I am obsessed since then. I enjoyed the good mood and flavorful food and drinks. Keep up the good work.
I always come by grabbing some food in here. I loved the efficient service and well cooked dishes. Great work.
I had chicken kabobs, its served with either lentil soup or their house salad. The salad was awesome, fresh and full of flavor. Their falafel was outstanding. Everything was really fresh, flavorful and tastefully plated. Ill be back.....with friends.
“Friendly, relaxed breakfast”A perfect spot right on the water with a great mix of locals and tourists alike. The staff is friendly, the food excellent. The cash-only establishment is a great place to start your day. Great views of the water no matter where you sit, bottomless cup of coffee and tremendous service.
BEST Mediterranean you’ll ever have. The Aristo salad, falafel, lamb chops, hummus, and the boreg are just a few of my favorites. It’s family owned and they are very welcoming and attentive. Don’t be surprised is there’s a little wait because it’s a local favorite!! You will not be disappointed!!
Service and food quality was impeccable. Great for first day. Call a head for reservations.
Not only is it the best Mediterranean food you can get in Torrance, I feel its the BEST food you can get in Torrance. Anyone I recommend Aristo Cafe to, automatically becomes a regular. The family and staff always eager to please above and beyond. We never leave unsatisfied. If I had my way, Id never leave!
Best middle eastern food in the south bay. Get the lunch special chicken with home made garlic sauce. House made lentil soup as well.
Service was slow: there was only one guy sitting at a table and us but it still took about 10 minutes before we were able to place our order.Food was delicious: I got a gyro sandwich and husband ordered some sort of plate (came with a side of salad). We also received complimentary side dish of hummus in the beginning and slices of orange at the end. By the time we finished eating, we were so full.Although service was slow, we would be coming back for their food.
Whenever I want Mediterranean food, this is my go-to.The guy (possibly the son of the owner?) is SUPER generous. My bf and I werent very hungry when we went, so we ordered just one dish to share. They not only split our dish, but they gave us 2 of almost everything! Kind of like getting two dishes for the price of one! Plus we got free pita/hummus, sides, and baklava!Great food, great service, and free stuff? Amazing.
We were there for the first time today, but it won’t be the last! Great, fresh food and sweet service. Don’t pass up the garlic sauce!!
Outstanding place for tasty mediterranean food. Very delicious. Next time Ill be back with my relatives.
Dont know what the hype is about this restaurant, food was ok, portions not that great and prices kinda high for what youre getting. Friends that go here love it, so probably best to give it a try and make your own decisions. The wife and I are probably not returning.
Aristotle Cafe restaurant is always a good choice for. fresh and healthy food. The service is always pleasant. But the best thing about eating at Aristo is that the food is excellent.
Great food at a great price
Food is always great. Owners are sometimes friendly, sometimes not, but the service is good. Love their Aristo salad and their chicken breast plate.
Amazing food and amazing service. Been coming here for 5 years and its my go to Mediterranean food spot in the South Bay. All natural ingredients and homemade recipes.
Excellent Mediterranean food. You can eat health here and still be full. Try the Aridto salad. Family owned.
Had the gyro lunch special. Great flavor
My favorite spot for mediteranean food! everything is so full of flavors starting from hummus and salad. i usually ordered various kabobs. i must visited this place over ten times and their foods are prepared exactly the same way every time. i just wish this place was closer to where i live.
Great food.Staff can be friendly/ unfriendly depending upon the time and the crowd.Bit expensive but it’s okWait time is always long.Their BAKLAVA is yummy
Simply the best Mediterranean food in Torrance/ South Bay Area
We had take out family style dinner, there was plenty of good food for us all.
Great food with great service
If you arent looking for this place, you may not find it. So LOOK HARDER! Oh my god. I think I tried every thing in 2 days. The falafel is to die for. Its moist inside, perfectly crunchy outside, great flavor. The chicken kebab is so full of flavor. The lamb...tender and well seasoned. Tabouleh...I normally dont care for it, but theirs is so fresh and minty.... fantastic. Hummus??? Oh yeah. Its a food group in my world. Theirs is smooth, and delicious with a perfect balance of garlic and lemon. Seriously...I havent been in food heaven in a while. This place hit all my taste bud happy spots. Im sad I was only visiting. I need them to be 70 miles closer!!!!!
Wonderful, healthy, fresh food and the owners are a great family. If you try it you will return, its that good
Small, family owned restaurant. Great food. Halal kosher meat, for those who need it.
Amazing food and Awesome people I am so thankful (and full lol) that my sister brought me here!!!!
Loved it,it was my first time there,it was great. I will be back
Very nice place and Very kind people.
Good food, good service, casual place. Love the gyro!
Great Mediterranean food with friendly staff. Im not a big fan of the location or the ambiance
Great food, good service, unique setting, a bit expensive, Id go again...
We love this place and have been their customers for 20 years
Love their food..never disappoints us
The Pollo Mediterraneo was delicious! Fast service. Clean, cute cafe. Beautiful food presentation Friendly atmosphere. The baklava was the best Ive ever had. Pairs well with the coffee. Everything tasted fresh, especially the hummus and falafel. I cant wait to return again.
Great place, food quality was on point, very friendly service, cant wait to go back
Wonderful food. Fried cauliflower was unusual and tasty
Great lunch deals. The kafta kabobs are very tasty. Friendly staff.
Great Mediterranean selection and healthy. Yum.
I actually used to live just around the block from this place, but didnt try it until now.Parking is spacious within the back, so no need for street parking!Im not a big fan of Mediterranean food, but I enjoyed a delicious meal here. They give complimentary hummus & pita (which was fresh & warm), and have pretty good service.I got a pita wrap with some sort of sausage- (Sujuk-salccicia). I think it had a great combo of sauces, veggies & meat, although it was reaaally saucy compared to the beef kabob that I tried. I would have preferred it a little less saucy.I tried their Mediterranean coffee, which had a thick grainy coffee residue at the bottom of the small dinky cup, which I couldnt drink. Maybe I just wasnt used to that, but I probably wont be drinking that again.Great place to try out!
They have the best lamb chops!
Excellent lunch spot. Quick, tasty and consistent!
Best Mediterranean Food around!
Food and service is great
This place has really good food; highly recommended!
The kabobs are so tasty !!
Great Mediterranean food, great service, great price- the trifecta.
Outstanding food. Treat yourself and go here!
Great Mediterranean food! Friendly people and the menu is reasonably priced too.The decor is nice, parking a few steps from the door, is next to a renowned besuty salon and a locally favorite pizzeria too, and Aristos is just one block south of the Pacific Coast Highway on Hawthorne Blvd, acrid ther street from a U-Haul rental center at the foothills of Walteria.
Excellent service and food
Always delicious ! And a fair price too.
I first started eating at this resturant a few years ago when I was pregnant. I do believe I dined here everday or just about. I absolutely ove this resturant. The staff is outstanding, the food is absolutely remarkable, and whenever I have Corporate visitors I take them to Cafe.
Nice place to eat not. Expensive
OK only the best
My favorite Mediterranean spot!! Chicken kabobs... yuummm!!
Excellent food and service
