I spent my last thirteen dollars on the lunch special yesterday and this is my first Yelp review - life-affirming seasoning and herb situation, everything was the perfect texture (creamy hummus, crispy outside on the kabobs, how the pita got after being in the container straight on the meal instead of in a separate bag - an important decision), there was a lot of everything, the toum!, the gentleman who took my order was very nice and it was ready when he said it would be, 10/10 - didn't love having to be in Torrance, don't love counting pennies, love feeling the love through food made

We yelped this place because our favorite Mediterranean spot was just to far of a drive today & this place did not disappoint!!!
The prices are close to what we pay going to our normal spot & the only reason I am rating 4 is because the hummus & garlic wasn't exactly were we would like it to be authentically....
Other then that the management/ owner / workers were nice & gave us wonderful service. Thanks.

Today I had to order lunch for a work meeting. I order from here well cause I like it, usually get the beef kabobs lunch. I love it, i should probably try more things on the menu and I will someday. But when I opened my bag noticed there was another box, I thought hmm. Boy was I surprised a thank you baklava from the restaurant. So awesome and so appreciated! I order thru door dash, hopefully soon I can order at the restaurant. But the food was amazing, always is!

I searched on Google for what I wanted because I wasn't sure where to get it in my new area. I wasn't sure if they'd even have falafel ready because it was late in the day for lunch but my plate came and it's beautiful! The salad is colourful and fresh, and the falafels are cooked exactly how I like them. Even the hummus had a nice amount of tahini in it to taste fresh made.

Since I'm unable to leave a new review, I will update my last. I had not been here in a while and had never ordered take our. Decided to order for my fiance to try it out. I knew he would like it but he actually loved it! This place never fails! From the phone call in. Robert giving exceptional telephone service to the preparation and freshness of the food. This is by far my favorite Mediterranean place! Can't wait till they do inside dining again. Thank you again Robert for your great customer service. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Delicious! I started working in the area not too long ago and haven't ventured much past the normal stuff for lunch, so it's nice to find a place that has hearty food. The portions are great, and the chicken kabob was done perfectly -- that's a hard find. Plus, their Baklava is one of the best I've ever had. I will come back, just for the Baklava!

This place hasn't been around for decades without knowing what they're doing when it comes to good food. The chicken and salmon here are scrumptious. Just absolutely delicious! I'd tried Baklava before and wasn't too keen on it but after trying it here, WOW! I didn't know it could taste that good! The only downside to this place is the hours. They don't 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.

Excellent Mediterranean restaurant. It's actually appears to be owned by a Lebanese family with a lot traditional Lebanese items so not sure why there's any claim to Greek food. The menu contains a lot of Lebanese food with a few general Mediterranean options.
Anyway, this place is family owned and small/quaint. It's a BYOB with no corkage fee. They don't serve any alcohol so you should bring your own.
They initially serve a complementary plate of hummus with pitas bread. It was pretty good.
We tried the fattouch salad (plus chicken) which was excellent. Amazing dressing

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.

Many a Mediterranean eateries have come and gone and still Artisto is my go to place for great food and great service. My all-time favorite is their Gyro Plate. You know how after you've been frequenting a restaurant for a while you tend to order the same thing most of the time you go? Well, the Aristo gyro plate is mine, though I got to admit, their lamb chops and their lamb kabobs are mighty fine tasting. After your meal, what better way to finish off the evening than with their Baklava and a cup of their Turkish coffee!
Next time? I gotta get myself to order something new... Bistecca ala
