While they didn't have a lot of foot traffic, some of the best hummus and garlic paste I've had. Tried the chicken kebab plate one day, the kebab sandwich the next, both delivered. read more

Great local choice for takeout. The interior reminds me of a 2000s health cafeteria. The chicken kabob was fresh with a notable citrus flavor. I also ordered the Tri-Tip Shawarma Plate but didn't like it as much because of the tahini drizzled over it, which was very tangy. Check out Aristo Cafe if you're craving casual Mediterranean classics! read more

My daughter picked up dinner for us here tonight on her way home from work. It was our first time eating here. I called the order in and the gentleman who answered and took my order couldn't have been nicer! The food was exceptional! Just absolutely delicious. We both had the chicken kabob plate. Chicken was juicy and tender, the rice was so flavorful and the hummus was delicious. We will definitely be eating here again soon and will recommend it to all ourfriends. It was great. Thanks for a delicious meal. ( And for the baklava too!) read more

Good food, reasonable prices and healthy (unless you get the amazing french fries with sumac). We had the falafel wrap and the chicken wrap. They came with either french fries or a salad so we got one of each. Loved the chicken breast in the wrap and it was more than enough food for lunch. Falafel wrap had hummus and lots of veggies - also very tasty. If you are in a hurry, maybe call or order online since it took a little while for the food to come and several folks picked up to go orders while we waited. There are a few tables inside and out so you can eat there as well. Nothing fancy, but clean. read more

One word: FLAVOR!! I've passed by this location multiple times & finally decided to order through postmates! I was shocked by all of the flavor from the chicken kabob plate! The salad and hummus was delicious! But what really WOWED me was the green seasoned oil!! Wow, drizzling that on top of the rice was perfection- !! I couldn't stop eating it!! The chicken has a similar flavor to that oil so it was chef's kiss! read more

The worst Mediterranean food I've ever had in my life! Never going back here again. What a taste of my hard earned dollars. Chicken kebab tasted old like it was from last night. Dry and burnt. The rice wasn't even Mediterranean rice. Just awful. Never going back here. Can't believe this place has 5 star reviews. I don't believe it read more

I am in the El Segundo area tonight for work and decided to try Aristo Cafe because it received such high praise from everyone who eats here. I have to say, I AGREE. I ordered the chicken kebab plate. Everything was delicious! The rice was super soft and soaked up all the flavor from the grilled chicken kebab, the salad was fresh and the dressing was perfect. I also got some baklava for dessert and it might have been the best baklava I have ever had. It was not incredibly sweet, which I prefer and the layers of phyllo dough were super crispy and buttery, the nuts in the center were almost creamy. Absolutely incredible, I'm glad one order comes with two pieces. read more

I was on my lunch break looking for some good Mediterranean food and found this spot by chance. It ended up being so much better than I expected. The food was delicious, and the customer service was genuinely great. If you're nearby, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

I'm from Middle East and The Lula kebab wrap was not tasty at all, and cold ....In my opinion, it has nothing in common with Mediterranean cuisine, it's just a lot of cabbage inside with some nasty meat, and that's it, no other ingredients. Cabbage shouldn't be there at all, .......Compared to other places serving similar cuisine, it's incomparable. No any Mediterranean drinks available at all, just a Pepsi drinks. Shouldn't be called Mediterranean place ...:)) wasting money !! read more

Wow this salmon plate is quite out of this world. An unassuming little spot in a shopping center. Honestly walking by I wouldn't have gone in but I'm glad I found this place online and placed an order. I was happily surprised! Fresh and made to order. Great man cooking and working the front, I believe he's the owner and he is pretty awesome! read more

This place really surprised me. We were in the area and wanted Mediterranean food and we found this place on Yelp. I had the chicken skewers and they were delicious, well seasoned. It came with hummus, salad, pita bread and garlic butter. I will be back to try the chicken sharma. They have about 5 tables and plenty of parking in the parking lot. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! THE food is horrible!! I don't know how these people are giving it 5 star!! Everything we got has to go to trash!!!! What a waste of money! The stuffed grape leaves were bitter and tasteless! The tri tip tastes gamey (can't tell if it's beef or lamb or what!!!!! So bad) , chicken kabob salty. Nothing positive!! Zero! I have never put any food in the trash! This is my first time ever! read more

I had come here for years to enjoy the chicken shawarma and garlic sauce, which was delicious. This admittedly made me feel conflicted after witnessing the owner on several occasions make overtly racist remarks directed against my coworkers and various passersby. This pattern of behavior has unfortunately continued in recent weeks, when a group of my coworkers were accused of being cheap on the basis of their race when they respectfully exited the restaurant after deciding the prices were too high. This conduct is so ridiculous in the year 2025, that my reaction is honestly that of surprise rather than anger. Regardless, I cannot in good conscience give this person my business any longer, nor do I recommend anyone else do so. read more

Stopped by this amazing little gem. When Greek food on your mind it's a must to stop by. Excellent customer service and yummy selections!

This place is my new favorite place for Mediterranean food. You will get a lot of really tasty food. The owner is great and very friendly. I highly recommend Aristo Cafe. read more

The best authentic Mediterranean taste!!! I am in love with this place. My favorites are Greek salad and Chicken Kabobs. They serve generous portions worth the price. You gotta try. They work with major food delivery services. read more

Ordered falafel appetizer, the salad tasted old. Portion size is small compared to other places. Price is inflated, for food quality and size. read more

This location is just slightly better than their other and thier other is very good. The type of food you can eat everyday and never get board or feel unhealthy from. Win. Win. The staff was polite and helpful. One of my friends wasn't familiar with Mediterranean foods and the gentalman who I think was the owner, kindly gave a short history on his restaurant and the dishes origins. Very intesting. It made the food that much better knowing all that goes into it. He didn't have to do that but he did so that's why I'm taking the time out to report his good deed. Definitely somewhere i would bring friends again. Highly recommended. read more

So I placed an order an hour before closing to be able to pick up by 7:40pm for my lunch I got there at exactly 7:50 and the person working g was already waiting at the door so I rushed in as fast as possible. He didn't seem bothered with me arriving at the last minute so that was a plus. He then told me that he substituted my rice with French fries because they ran out. Not what I wanted but I wasn't upset about it I had ordered the tri tip plate so instead of rice I got fries which was very good still only bad thing is that I don't usually get enough time to eat my so I have to eat it in sections so the fries are a horrible option once cold since it's not good microwaved. While the food was great and full of flavor I was a little upset at the fact that In my tri tip plate it had more chicken than tri tip. I feel like they just ran out of a lot of things and just threw in the crumbs of tri tip and leftover chicken. While this place is always delicious just a little sad my order wasn't what I order read more

I'm a huge fan of falafel so I was excited to try the falafel wrap which came with a side of seasoned fries. It was pretty good overall (average to above average); the falafel was crunchy on the outside, lightly seasoned and moist inside. But I wish the salad/veggie mix inside the wrap included more variety instead of being mainly lettuce as it would have added to the flavor and texture. The seasoned fries looked great but it was too oily so the seasoning (flavor) did not come through taste wise. To be fair, this was a takeout order and it sat in the bag for 15 -20 minutes before I started eating so that may have affected the flavor/oiliness. The lunch combination was a pretty good deal overall so I do plan to return and give it the takeout order another try. The place offers a few tables to eat in but it's not the warmest/friendliest of environments. The service is efficient but far from welcoming. read more

I love coming to Aristo Cafe with my co workers and friends. Whenever my friends and I are in the El Segundo area we love coming here. The gyro wraps with fries is my favorite thing to order at this place. Their fries are crispy and seasoned well. The pita bread is warm, soft, and tastes homemade. The meat is well seasoned. The gyro wraps comes with three pieces of gyro, onions, tomatoes, and sauce. Their sauce is great it tastes super fresh, light, creamy, and compliments the meat and the pita bread. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a good gyro wrap. It is one of the best gyro wraps I have been to in LA. The staff is really nice and they prepare the food pretty quick. Note: They open from 11AM - 8PM from Monday to Saturday and they are closed on Sunday' s. They have a few parking spaces available. read more

Aristo Cafe - Delicious food ! - Mediterranean Near Me - El Segundo, California

It's a very good quick pre pay medeteranian Food. It only took about 10 min for our food to arrive to the table. We were the only dine in customer at the time, so I'm not sure how it is when they're busy. Nonetheless, service and food were both good. We ordered lamb gyro plate, falefal plate, and side of baba ghanoush. The reason I'm giving 4 star is because their rice was awfully plain. It could definitely be better. Baba ghanoush tasted more like Hummus for some reason. We couldn't taste the eggplant. Besides these falafels, salad, lamb gyro, and Hummus were very good. It's definitely a good try. We'll be going back again. read more

Had a great experience catering from Aristo Cafe and working directly with the owner. Not only did he make great recommendations but he also guided me with order quantity which was helpful. I would order from here again as the quality of the food was excellent and all the dinner guests had positive feedback . Garlic sauce and spicy garlic were 10/10! read more

I'm giving this place a bad review because it's not just one thing that stands out as being poor. Firstly, when you walk in you expect to see the shawarma spit-- where is the Shawarma spit? Good picture as you enter the place but that was my first thought. So immediately I get negative thoughts about this place. Secondly the oldish chap on duty taking orders was very rude, no greeting no smile ... just a very irritated facial expression. Naturally I didn't get off to a good start so I knew by then this wasn't going to be a Panini Cafe experience that was maybe (naively) aiming for!! So how was my order? The foods of Persia and the Mediterranean hah ha? Well, despite the prices being extremely high for a place that's more like a fast food place, the food was very average. I don't understand why these places serve your food as though you're taking it out? Not to mention it's served in polystyrene containers which is really an ugly way to package food -- hopefully it'll be banned soon-- yes this place does. We ordered the beef Shawarma and lamb kebob. The lamb meat was ok kind of acceptable but heavens knows what they put on top of it -- some sort of sauce, which wasn't really necessary or tasty. As for the rice -- OMG, what did they cook the rice in? The washing machine? It was awful. Just a note to the chef -- please get some training on how to make decent rice, you might even serve real Mediterranean Basmati (rice) someday when you're ready. The other item was poor, (shawarma) beef tasted old, and it was wrapped in too much sauce that it basically killed the natural taste of the beef. Needless to say I won't be coming back especially as the server was seemingly uninterested in his business and how the customers feel about their food. Sorry for the ugly posting but I have to give honest reviews. The seating arrangement was ok but then again it's kind of cramped and the tables aren't very well balanced. read more
