Amazing Mediterranean food! Everything was fresh and full of flavor--the grilled meats were juicy, the rice was perfect, and the hummus was delicious. Great portions and very friendly service. Definitely coming back!

Maggie C.

This is a must stop for us when we drive through Palmdale. The owner is so friendly and the food is bombbb. I'm a huge fan of their vegetarian plate. My partner ordered the chicken lule kebob plate and that was delicious too. Food does take a little awhile but be patient it's worth it.

The combo plate and the chicken plate were wonderful and so tasty!

Deanna V.

Absolutely delicious! Food is freshly made! So satisfying we will definitely be back! Tons of choices to choose from. Great Mediterranean food!

I wanted to give a one-star rating because of how bad the service was, but that would be biased; the food was actually pretty decent. The meat was seasoned nicely and cooked perfectly. The sides, like the salad and the hummus, could have been better but they were still good. If the service hadn't been so poor, I'd consider returning. Unfortunately, my experience was so disappointing that I can't see myself going back. First of all, I placed a pickup order and had to wait an additional half hour since my order wasn't ready. Even then, the order was incomplete and the cheese rolls I ordered were not done. The owner insisted on offering me a cake as a substitute arguing that she was giving me a discount since a slice of cake is valued at a higher price point than 2 cheese rolls. To top it off, their online prices do not match their in-person prices. When I tried to address these concerns with the owner, she became defensive, dismissive, and aggressive. It was impossible to reason with her. Trust me, I understand that things can get stressful in the food industry I've worked in it for many years, but good customer service is essential and it was definitely not provided at Armani's

My spouse & I decided to try this place for lunch since it's close to our gym. She ordered the chicken kebab & I ordered the garlic chicken lunch special. I asked for a cup for water. The bill came to $37.36 which included a $1 convenience fee. I guess that was for the cup of water that was brought to our table halfway through our meal. Meanwhile, after a 15-20 minute wait, our food was brought to our table. Shortly thereafter, the cashier, Jasmine started sweeping around the tables about 12 feet from where we were sitting. She was using one of the sweep pans which was rather noisy & loud since it opens & closes during use & she was banging it against the table legs at times. Plus, dust travels & we didn't want it to travel to our food. My wife kindly asked if she wouldn't mind stopping while we enjoyed our lunch. The lady replied that the party at the table that had left was a bit messy & left rice on the floor & that she needed to clean it before other guests arrived. She appeared annoyed that we said anything & continued with the cleaning. She offered no apology for the inconvenience nor offered any compensation for it either. This will be our first & last visit here.

Honestly, I cannot review Armani's enough! By far, the freshest, most delicious Mediterranean food in the Antelope Valley. Recently wanted to have them cater a retirement party, but since COVID and the cost of their supplies, their catering has turned into having to order separate plates (but the do offer to make it into catering style). Not a big deal and very understandable. Placed the order for 15 plates a couple days ahead of time. The food was freshly made and ready on time for the party. Everyone at the party enjoyed the food and complimented its flavor and freshness.

What a gem! Don't be fooled by this hole-in-the-wall strip mall restaurant. Excellent Mediterranean food! The hummus was creamy and flavorful, some of the best we've had. The falafel plate is HUGE. We could have shared it between 2 people. Chicken burrito was solid as well. Busy place at lunch with a lot of take out orders. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Downside, no public restroom. read more

What a cute restaurant. We were on our way home from Mammoth and decided to stop in. The lady at the front desk was inviting and knowledgeable. I got the beef Lule combo and loved it. It comes with hummus, pita, rice, salad, tomato and grilled jalapeño. I can't wait to eat the rest for dinner. My husband had the combo with 3 meats and loved it as well. Oh and the grape leaves!! A++++ We ended up getting 3 desserts. I'll probably update this review later.... read more

We had one chicken kebab plate and one beef kebab plate. And then we tried some falafel. The falafel was good. I wouldn't say anything special a bit salty chicken and beef kebab were pretty good, but I will say as far as the amount of chicken and beef. It was very light for the price. Nothing like the pictures. It isn't enough food because they give you a lot of rice, hummus and salad, but I would say it's the smallest amount of chicken and beef I've ever gotten on a kebab plate at any restaurant of this type. If the portions were better, I would've given it four stars, but they only gave us five pieces of beef two were decent sized. The other three were tiny same as the chicken was six pieces but half the pieces were tiny by chicken nugget size. I would also note that the restaurant is cute inside but there's no table service and even though we dined in food was served in to go boxes read more

We have been visiting Armani's for a little over a year now and they never miss. We have visited BOTH locations and truly delicious food. The service is great and everyone is always soooo friendly. They make everyone feel welcomed. Now the pastries, always fresh and flavorful! At this point, I have tried every pastry and there isn't one I dislike. I'm extremely picky with baklava and this is by far one of the BEST I have tried. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and checkout Armani's (both locations) for fresh food, amazing pastries and warm community feel. read more

I have been a customer at this location since it opened. My last visit left me wondering why would the person taking my order lie to me. I've been ordering the combo meal consists of one beef, one chicken kabobs and a beef like. I always request a chicken me lule in place of the beef one. This time the same person that has been taking my order since they opened tells me that there are no substitutions and that they have never offered that.....hmm.....okay.

The meat is well seasoned and tender, the pita is nice and soft, the hummus is the best I've ever had, the falafel was nice and soft and seasoned to perfection and the tabouleh was very refreshing. The deserts are AMAZING! The restaurant is extremely clean and the food smells delicious and is much better for you than eating fast food. Jasmine was also very kind and helpful.

Ordered chicken kabob and shawarma, the chicken was salty on lots of rice. I stopped eating my food and was waiting to get a chance to say something about it. The person at the counter didn't look at our table after serving. Besides, she started sweeping the floor with a tall dustpan, pulling out chairs and putting them back with loud noise(she was kept banging the dustpan either broom to the table or chairs). It's disgusting!! I just started to eat my food a few minutes ago??and I am not happy about my dish!! and she never asked about my dish or if I needed anything but CLEANING THE STORE!! while we were eating there!!?? I had to hold on to asking to fix my dish. I asked her to stop sweeping, what she said was "IT'S FAR FROM YOU"!! with an attitude!! not even say sorry for the inconvenience!! It is a small restaurant. she had to sweep the floor while customers were dining there!! What about the dust??? What a waste of money and ruined the day!!! NOT GOING BACK!! NEVER THIS PLACE!!

Recently ordered the combination plate that was shared amongst myself and my spouse. The chicken was tender, the beef was beyond amazing and the beef lule was seasoned to perfection. The salad has a light dressing and overall very tasty. The hummus is excellent paired with the lavish bread that is provided. We passed on the tomato that was given but did try the jalapeño which was so spicy, be warned. My overall impression is very high, this is my favorite Greek food that I've found thus far in the antelope valley. read more

The gentleman behind the counter welcomed me in and I told him it was my first time there. He showed me the menu, told me their bagels were made fresh everyday, and walked me through their coffee items. I decided to try their horchata latte and the turkey and bacon everything bagel. I expressed to him that I like strong coffee with slight sweetness he said he would adjust the sweetness of the latte so it wasn't sweet. This man was not kidding. He made me the most perfect latte! It is heaven in a cup. Next time I'm trying their Chocolate Abuelita latte. I tried the bagel sandwich when I got home and O-M-G! The salty bacon and turkey with the fresh tomato and lettuce complemented by their chipotle mayo on a perfectly toasted everything bagel was *chef's kiss* I spoke with the gentleman about their business and he mentioned they're on Instagram and TikTok. I will be following them on both platforms. They're currently doing a toy drive and on the 20th (I believe this month), they're having a fund raiser for a Sacred Heart (I believe it's for a church). I will definitely be back! I can't wait to try more items on their menu and to bring friends with me.

Walking in, they had plenty of booths and tables that can accommodate both small and large groups. You order before you sit down, and they also have a self-serve water station. We tried the Egg Rolls (3 pieces) and Dumplings (5 pieces) for appetizers, and for our main meals we ordered the Beef Stew Soup and the Glass Noodle Chicken Soup. The egg rolls and dumplings were crispy and flavorful, and the sweet and sour dipping sauce paired well with both. I actually thought I had ordered the beef pho, so I was surprised when the beef stew came out but that was completely my mistake. It ended up being a pleasant surprise because it was hearty, full of flavor, and reminded me a lot of sopa de res. The Glass Noodle Chicken Soup was much lighter, with a clean, comforting broth that made for a great contrast to the rich beef stew. Both soups were generously portioned. The customer service was friendly, and the food came out fairly quickly. Overall, I had a great experience and look forward to coming back to try more items from their menu.

The restaurant was clearly overcrowded, and instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner became rude and disrespectful. The owner repeatedly complained that they were overwhelmed and couldn't handle additional guests. Rather than providing good customer service or communicating respectfully, he turned customers away and made us feel unwelcome. Eventually, we were asked to leave despite there being available seating when we arrived. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but there is no excuse for poor customer service or rude behavior toward paying customers. If a business cannot manage being at full capacity, it should have a better system in place rather than taking frustration out on guests. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Armani's Mediterranean Cafe... Where do I even start. I didn't start my day to end it with giving a bad review to an establishment that supposedly had "great service". "Great service" was not on their radar, not even close. I had walked in with my friend as it was our first time there. We were hungry and ready to order. Right off the bat we notice that the waiter had looked at us both up and down. Like a disgusted "look at what the cat just dragged in" type of look. My friend and I immediately felt triggered. Keep in mind that it was pretty chill in the restaurant, maybe like 7 other people seated in various areas...also keep in mind that my friend and I, we're African American and Dominican nationality...we're the only dark skinned people in the room. The waiter just looks at us and walks past us. We give her the benefit of the doubt and just seat ourselves. At this point, ten minutes pass and there is still no one at our table to check on us...absolutely radio silent. That's kind of weird right? We see the waiter clearly waiting other tables as happy as she can be, that was until she came to our table. "What can I get you?" The waiter says with the most sour and vile attitude. She is completely avoiding eye contact with us. I assumed she was having a horrible day and was very irritated. "We'll take some menus." I reply getting irritated. She rolls her eyes, leaving to get the menus. When she returns I asked her how the food was and she pridefully said that she was the cook's daughter and that the food was as good as it gets. She sounded very rude I might add. She leaves and we take a few minutes to look over the menu. After some time she returns to take our order and she is off. We spot her again maybe like 15 minutes later and we ask her if we could change the music to a different station and she completely disregarded the question by saying our food is almost done. Ok, at this point I'm starting to get really pissed off because we did absolutely nothing to this lady. I began looking around the room, occasionally seeing how she treated everyone else. I detected no attitude whatsoever. At this point I'm putting two and two together but I don't say anything yet because what I was thinking was a very strong accusation. She comes back with our food a little while later but it's completely packaged up as if we asked for it to go. We were seated...to stay. Completely taken aback, I tell her we didn't ask for it to be packaged up. Her response was, because we were sitting by the door, she assumed we wanted it to go. Wow, it was at that moment that I knew these people were racist. They just wanted us to get our food and go. Pissed off by what just happened, we pay for our food and go. My friend and I are completely disgusted by the whole situation and we will never go back. read more

This place was beyond disappointing, and here's why: My grandma just turned 80 and I wanted to take her somewhere she would like. Knowing she loves Mediterranean food I found this place and picked it based off of the yelp reviews thinking it would be nice. When we walked inside, my grandmother's excitement grew but upon asking "how's the food?" We were met with nothing but attitude. She was very prideful in being the cook's daughter. She sat us in our seats and slapped our menus onto the table then just completely walked away. It wasn't until a few minutes later when she came back and acknowledged us, asking if we were ready to order. I gave her my order then went on to help my grandma order. My grandmother is clearly of old age and would like to take her time in ordering and the waitress was not understanding of that at all, I could see the waitress was growing more irritated by the second. When my grandma asked about a dish she was unfamiliar with the waitress said "what you see is what you get. That's what the pictures are provided for. If you're not ready I can come back in a few minutes." Mind you, we'd already told her that it was my grandma's birthday, a great day of celebration. I think she should have wanted to provide way better service than that. By this point I'm beyond upset and have to refrain myself from going off on her but it was not worth it because when we received our food, the rice was flavorless, she gave us less falafel than what was listed on the menu and the hummus left a bad taste in my mouth. My grandmother should not have had to been put through an experience like this on her 80th birthday or on any day at all. I would never recommend this place to anyone....Or their grandmother. read more

If you're looking for a nice place with great food, Armani's is the spot. The kebabs are juicy and full of flavor, and the hummus is smooth and tasty, with just the right amount of seasoning. The grilled veggies and fresh salad add a perfect touch to the meal. What really stands out at Armani's is the vibe. The ambience is cozy, and the people there are super friendly. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy a meal with friends and feel right at home. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more
