★★★★★ 5.0 Gary Miyahara · Jan 2026

Very nice place to get a healthy lunch. Service was prompt and friendly. The food was very good. Also liked by my son who has type 2 diabetes. Not sure how old the Google menu prices are, but prices are quite a bit more than the menu shown on Google. Chicken kabobs lunch was $17.

This is a great charming cafe with amazing food that is fresh and flavorful.. putting out great food for many years in south South Torrance. They have lamb, Kabab, great salads, the baba and humus are both excellent.. as was the taboule.. they have fish, wraps, and tons of great choices from a light lunch to a full nap time platter. What really stands out is all the food tastes home made and small batch.. nothing tastes canned or mailed in.. every dish, every side dish is something special down to the garnish. Aristo Cafe' is an institution and one of the best restaurants of its kind anywhere in the area. If you want outstanding food look no further.. and shockingly for how good it is the prices are very reasonable.. less costly than the "chicken" chains are way better.

Hidden gem! Good Mediterranean food with nice ambience. They have free private parking lot as well as street parking. There's plenty of indoor seating with nice decoration and friendly atmosphere. There's also outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I believe it's Lebanese family owned. The food is delicious. We ordered the Kebbah appetizer. It was hot and delicious. Also ordered the chicken kebob. It was good but I've had better elsewhere. I expected more for the price. The garlic sauce had a strange taste so I didn't eat it. The dish also came with steamed veggies, hummus, and rice. We also ordered the lamb chops. Also came with same sides. The meat was tender and well marinated but had a slight tomatoe sauce flavor which I didn't really l

There is so much goodness at Aristo Cafe and it begins with the staff at this family run restaurant with three generations working the business. It was my first time here after a hike at Point Vicente and I wanted to do a healthy lunch. Robert greeted us to start with a hummus chip appetizer and pita bread while we looked over the menu. He highlighted offerings from the menu and suggested the lunch special which included two skewers over jasmine rice, hummus, and included a salad. We were blown away with how filling the food was and the flavor of their signature garlic spread as well as their red spicy version garlic spread. I can tell the food here is prepared with so much care given the attentiveness of the staff as well as the patrons that filled the dining area over lunch. They c
