    The foods here are amazing, very authentic Armenian/Mediterranean cuisine, fresh ingredients, affordable & plentiful. I love how generous the portions are, and the flavor is so delicious. We got a complimentary hummus & freshly baked baklava served by the owner, and it was divine! I really enjoyed the Sujuk dish and dolmah (grape leaves), presentation is beautiful and appetizing. Thank you so much for a delightful meal & warm hospitable service! 🙏🏻

    Delightful restaurant! I forgot how good it was the food is fresh, authentic Mediterranean style tastes you’ll never find at a chain restaurant! Support local family owned restaurants! Falafel is best in the South Bay!

    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.

    I love this place! Ever since the first time I came here I have loved their food. It is a small mom and pop restaurant and you can tell the food is homemade fresh! Everything is so tasty, fresh and delicious from their started salad to their hummus and then the chicken kabobs or beef or salmon, everything is so good! The service is always so welcoming and attentive. Since it is close to my job I enjoy coming here periodically and although most of the time I come alone, everyone I have brought here agrees with me about it being the best around! I have brought my husband who also fell in love and co-workers and friends. You won't regret eating here or ordering out!

    Wow it's 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. I'm a new customer that's happy to discover a new go to place. Thank you to everyone that works thier.

    While $18 is a bit nuts for a lunch special, I was hungry and even the gruff woman at the front could'nt ruin my optimism. The place was quaint if not cute, in its defense; with motown classics blaring over the speakers. Unfortunately, the food was bland. Hummos missing tahini, the kafta needed garlic & onions, and the rice was just plain white. Salad came with enough dressing to power an oil lamp through an Alaksan winter but it was tasty. Did I mention that everything was served on disposible plates, with plastic cutlery and cups? You would think at this price point, someone could do the dishes. As I thanked the gruff woman for the meal and she returned a dirty look, I had a feeling that I'll never be back.

    I have been here a handful of times, and the food is always excellent. Highly recommend the lamb chops. Service is very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed, it's a perfect way to wind down after a workday or if you just want to treat yourself to some great food.

    Just really good healthy food! We asked if they used toxic seed oils and they ONLY use olive oil! This is huge for us, as it is very hard to find restaurants that have healthy oils! (If you knew and TRULY understood how bad, canola and sunflower oils are, you would never eat at a restaurant that serves them again!!!) Thank you Aristo café for providing food without seed oils…..we will be eating here every week on going!!! And it’s is really really GOOD FOOD!!! The whole family loves! Thank you A giacopuzzi PS ARISTO/ I suggest putting this in your advertising because there are lots of people like us looking for food cooked without toxic oils( we found restaurants in Orange County who advertised this) so we went there for that reason alone!

    their food was so good that I ate the whole thing! normally I'm a two meals in one person. I really liked the lentil soup, it was different than any other lentil soup I ever had and now I will be craving it when I'm not feeling well ❤️ I love a good hearty soup when I'm healing up. there wasn't as much chicken as most places but I did appreciate the vegetables on the kebabs they were delicious. I really really like the rice too it's so moist and perfectly cooked and seasoned. I really liked their garlic sauce too a bit on the oily side for me but it was still good. I also tried their falafel which was smooth yet dense, and crunchy on the outside.

    We often go downtown for gyros but this is our first time local. This place is a jewel and the best gyros I have had! Very high quality food and I love the cucumber/yogurt source we will definately return.

    authentic lebanese food, did not expect this in the south bay. owner was very sweet. she said they had been here 26 years- amazing that they maintain that level of quality / authenticity for so long in an area where the demographics is mostly non arab. usually these places get "americanized" and lose the freshness and authentic touch. wish them many more years!

  • 5/5 Ben H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious. Friendly staff. A small cozy place to eat. Not geared for a big party or event. Other than that a great place to eat as a couple, with few friends, or food to go.

  • 5/5 Angie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely charming and lovely staff/restaurant. Me and my husband got the falafel and chicken sandwiches. We were floored at how good the food is. Worth the price and portions are generous. We live just down the street and have already planned our next visit. I'm recommend this place to everyone I know. Hopefully they cater so I can hire them for future events!

    I like it. Went with family and was fast service. Price was reasonable and tasty. Had good variety of choices. I will go there again.

    Good vegetarian options. Falafel sandwich was good. Get the spicy garlic sauce with it. Only sad thing - Styrofoam containers and plastic utensils

    Some of the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. These guys take everything to the next level. Extremely good hospitality and service. It was great meeting Robert.

    It was such a nice little cafe before Covid. The food is still very good but we ate on paper plates with plastic utensils.

    Very tasty food and also they are doing only takeouts right now but the cafe is really cute and their patio sitting is beautiful. Great chicken kebabs and hummus.
