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

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.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! THE food is horrible!! I don't know how these people are giving it 5 star!! Everything we got has to go to trash!!!! What a waste of money! The stuffed grape leaves were bitter and tasteless! The tri tip tastes gamey (can't tell if it's beef or lamb or what!!!!! So bad) , chicken kabob salty. Nothing positive!! Zero! I have never put any food in the trash! This is my first time ever!

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.

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.

Even for a large group, our server was very attentive. Everyone picked what they wanted previously and was charged by the person based on their selection. I got the 2 chicken skewers and the chicken was juicy and tender. It was so good I ate the entire thing. The rice was decent, same with the salad with Greek dressing. My favorite was the Jalapeno hummus. It was so good, and had a nice kick to it. They gave us plenty of garlic sauce and pita bread. I really also enjoyed the garlic sauce, I personally prefer a very garlic forward sauce and for my personally it was on the milder side, but still very good. I dod order the Zucchini dumplings, and it was ok. I wasn't a huge fan of it. Maybe the cheese in that I wasn't a fan of. I'm not saying it tasted bad. It was just not my thing.

I got the chicken shawarma plate with the artichoke pesto hummus off of their lunch specials menu that runs Tuesday-Friday 11am-3pm. Before our food came out the server gave us pita chips with toum. These were to die for! An amazing appetizer. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The artichoke pesto hummus was a good addition as well. The plate also came with a side of rice, salad, and pita. There was so much food I could only eat about half of it and had to take the rest home. 10/10, would definitely come back again!
