Falafel Wrap and salad
Maggie N.

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.

This restaurant is so amazing! Came for lunch with my fiancé and we were sat immediately. Robert the owners son made us feel like family. I can't wait to come back

Chicken Kabob Plate
Celest M.

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!

Burnt , dry chicken kebabs with rice that taste like instant rice. It's not basmati rice

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

Chicken Kabob Plate
Devynn H.

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.

Combo plate - ground beef kabob and chicken plate.

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.

Now that we have a new, amazing movie theater (have you tried $8 Tuesdays?), we have gone back to…read moreNomad a few times, and I can't believe I have not reviewed it yet. The Mediterranean menu is inventive and amazing top to bottom. Start by heading to nomadsouthbay.com and sign up for their email list to get a free hummus appetizer. It's $16 on the menu and comes with a still puffy from the oven flat bread (pita). It's worth the money, but definitely worth joining the email list. After the hummus, we split five dishes for the four of us. The roasted cauliflower is straight forward and delicious, served atop a lovely tahini and turmeric sauce. The kale salad was light and delightful. The lamb kabob plate was exactly what you want in Mediterranean food. The steak atop risotto, a favorite from Jackson's (the prior establishment here), was near perfect. But the star of the show was the Salmon Esquites--perfectly cooked salmon over fresh corn, lime, crema, and pinto beans. I am salivating writhing this! And I'm going back soon!

I've been wanting to come here for a while and finally decided to visit yesterday. The staff was…read moreincredibly friendly and welcoming. It was a little hard to find the entrance, but you enter through the patio area. The interior is very chic. It feels like Tulum vibes. Now, for the important part, the food. I ordered the crispy Branzino and a side of charred broccoli. I will be honest and say the presentation was a little underwhelming however, the taste was incredible! I literally ate everything! It was the best meal I've had in a while. I also had a spicy Mezcal with aloe cocktail, very good. The bartender came to my table personally and gave me this recommendation which I thought was really cool. I believe this cocktail will be on their Spring menu fyi. Overall, a great experience. I'm really looking forward to coming back to order the exact same thing. Lol.

I truly think this is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants around. I also love the casual setup. You order at the counter and the staff brings the food to your table. No frills, just great food. Out of everything we ordered, the standout for me was the garlic butter. It's not so strong that it'll knock out a vampire, but it's rich, buttery, and absolutely perfect with the pita bread. I can't wait to come back, try more items on the menu, and definitely eat more of that garlic butter!

As someone living with a brain injury and who has a valid handicap placard, I rely on accessible parking. Seeing those spaces blocked was frustrating and concerning. I was on hold on another phone call at the time, so I came inside and asked to speak with a manager. I spoke with Esmeralda and let her know the handicap space was being blocked. She told me she would call the non-emergency number since I was already on the phone. She stepped away and later returned. When I asked if she had called, she indicated the phone line of their line was busy, even though it was around 10:30 a.m. and the phone was right beside her. Because I was concerned the issue wasn't being addressed, I called the non-emergency line myself and reported it. While I was still on the call, an employee went outside and moved the bikes. Accessible parking exists for people with serious medical needs and disabilities. Situations like this make it harder for those of us who depend on those spaces. After realizing the situation had not been handled honestly or with urgency, I felt uncomfortable staying. I requested a refund and left. I hope this feedback helps ensure handicap parking access is respected and protected going forward.

This family-owned business has been serving the community for over 30 years around the South Bay, and you can definitely taste the experience in their food. The rotisserie chicken was my favorite: perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right. It's the kind of simple, satisfying dish that keeps people coming back. I also really enjoyed the Greek salad, which was super fresh and loaded with crisp veggies and quality ingredients. It paired perfectly with the chicken. Another highlight was the service. Cecilia, the manager, was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience feel welcoming and personal. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Great food, fresh ingredients, and warm hospitality from a long-standing local business. If you're in El Segundo, definitely stop by and check them out.

The food provided was delicious! The Chicken Ceasar Salad tossed with rice is the best version of a chicken ceasar salad I have ever had. The humus was delicious along with their special sauce provided. Everyone from the owner to the counter help are friendly and helpful. I love this place because not only do they truly have amazing food, but they back up their community support by getting involved with the local schools and support their community! I love these guys!!!

It's been a long week and I needed some comfort food. I was in the South Bay this weekend and…read moredecided to look for a place to get a good gyro. I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon, where a few other patrons were already dining. The seating has around 6 or so tables inside that can fit around 4 each, and they also have high chairs for children! I ordered a number 17, which is the gyro, and got a side of hummus and pita then found a table to sit at. I had just finished buckling my child into the high chair when my order was delivered to my table! They are super fast here! The super friendly waiter delivered my meal, and I dug in. The gyro was stuffed with meat! This is a huge deal, since a lot of places skimp and don't give enough. So extra points to Al Hamra for a job well done. The flavor of the meat was juicy and well seasoned, super delish! The hummus and pita was good, although I usually add a bit of spices to my hummus so this one was a little plainer than I'm used to. Either way, it was a nice addition to the meal. The grand finale were the desserts! I usually go for baklava, but decided to try the knafeh, a layered cheese dessert with syrup and pistachios. Get the knafeh! The warm cheese and syrup were so delicious and made for the perfect ending to a good meal! I will definitely be back, the food was super tasty, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Thanks for the happiness, Al Hamra!

Our group of four adults and two kids came in starving. I had the chicken kabob wrap, which was a perfect burrito-sized meal, while my husband enjoyed a beef and chicken kabob plate that fully satisfied his appetite. Honestly, the highlight for me was the warm pita served with garlic mayo, so much better than the cold or room-temperature pitas you often get at otherMediterranean spots. We also shared dessert, the kulfi cheesecake, and left completely stuffed. Al Hamra is a cozy family-run restaurant with just a few tables, but the food makes it well worth it. I'll definitely rotate between this spot and Chicken Maison for future visits.
