Arni’s Restaurant has a long tradition in Indiana. In 1965 the first Arni’s opened at Market Square Shopping Center in Lafayette by Arni Cohen. Originally seating 120 diners, the restaurant’s popularity forced several expansions over the years to its current capacity of almost 500. Through the years, several more Arni’s opened in various communities throughout Indiana. In 1988, Arni opened his second full service operation, this time with his oldest son Kurt, who had been managing restaurants in Chicago. This brought the total number of restaurants to five. The philosophy of Arni's Restaurants - if you take care of the employees, they will take care of you. Arni’s prides itself in providing a fun place to eat, with efficient service, and quality food at reasonable prices. The goal has always been to have loyal customers and employees. Arni Cohen passed on February 7th, 2002. His sons Kurt and Brad Cohen are carrying his vision into the 21st century.
