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!

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.

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!

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.

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!
