This was my 1st time here. I read the reviews and decided this was a place to try. The lady at the counter was nice and pleasant. Ordered the gyro with extra tziki sauce. The food was hot, which is always a plus, but the sauce did not taste like tziki sauce, it tasted almost spoiled. I was sadly disappointed. I would not recommend.

It’s been years since I’ve been here, and sadly I will probably not return. I remember thick plump juicy kebabs, now it’s somewhat dry little pieces of meat. Even the rice was subpar, most places serve a fragrant jasmine rice, this was plain steamed white rice with no character, not to mention the parsley on everything including the eggplant parm appetizer. Literally sprinkled parsley everywhere! Wish this was a better review.

My favorite middle eastern food in the south bay! Owned and operated by the sweetest family that's always around. Always friendly service and delicious top-quality food. There's a lot of good middle eastern food in the neighborhood, but I always go out of my way to come here instead because everything else never seems to compare. Their lentil soup is the best I've ever had. Love their fattoush and Pollo Mediterraneo as well.

Wife and I love Aristo! We’ve been coming for over 10 years now and it’s the best Greek food in the South Bay. The beef and lamb kebabs are top notch and the baklava is delicious. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants in Torrance.

Excellent service, delicious food, large portions and an overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend!
We just want to try different restaurants for lunch in Torrance. I found this one on Google map with 4.7 ratings. I wanted to give a try. I called and placed a takeout order for Chicken Kabobs lunch special with one extra chicken skewer. When I arrived after 15 min, the order was ready. I talked to the owner of grandson and he is so friendly and genuine. Their food is so delicious and meat is tender and not salty at all. I will definitely go back again.

If you are craving Mediterranean food and live in the South Bay, run don’t walk! This place is family owned, authentic, and very reasonably priced. Even the salad dressing is fresh! You can tell there is a lot of love going into this food. We ordered the falafels, dolmas, hummus, chicken kabob plate. The food just kept getting better. If I could give them 11 stars I would; HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Found my new favorite local spot! Aristo has been around for years but I only recently decided to drop in and try it. We found it to be a wonderful little gem that is a multi-generational family run restaurant. The food was fresh and we were told the dishes were family recipes passed down. The love and dedication to the food is palpable. We had the Lamb kabob which was marinated perfectly and the Pollo Mediterraneo was also excellent. The garlic sauce is a must. The baklava was the best I’ve tasted, it was light yet crispy with crushed pistachios and a homemade syrup.
The decor was a little on the dated side and we were told it has remained the same since it open, however in my opinion, that can be nice that some things just stay the same. To me this just added to the charm. It was the food and the friendly service that gave it a great overall atmosphere. We saw a lot of local customers come in and pick up take out orders. Which also reflects it a good spot. Highly recommend, go there for the food and it’s an added bonus that it also supports a local mom & pop family run business.

Their kabobs are amazing—our favorites are the chicken and beef kabobs. The meat is always juicy and tender. Dont miss their spicy garlic sauce—it’s very good and takes everything to the next level. We will always support neighborhood restaurants like this that deliver great service and quality food. Highly recommended!
