Andalous Mediterranean Grill

Wow, I am incredibly impressed. This is a cafeteria styled Mediterranean cuisine location, and tbh when I walked in I was a little lost at how to proceed. Turns out you grab a couple pitas, and head down the line to choose your sides. I grabbed rice and hummus (obvs), beet salad, and some chicken shawarma for my protein. All of this and a water for under $20. The food is delicious! I'll be back next time I'm in town for business.

One of my favorite places for large helpings and tasty food. Love the fresh baked, pita, especially since they have whole wheat as an option. I always get the fish with veggies on the side. You can choose two, three, or four, and even that sometimes isn’t enough. They all look so good. I’m a big fan of the eggplant and spicy hummus.

Came in to Andalous after a bodybuilding competition, and I have to say this is some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had in my life. The various selections of meats and sides filled with flavor yet so healthy. The service was exceptional, and over the top friendly and helpful with any questions we had. 100/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to try something new and exciting. YOU WILL LOVE IT!

It s like a buffet where pick items you want. Price is based on the number of choices you make. So fast service, fresh food, and taste good. compose your plate , lots of vegetarian options

How is this middle eastern food ? I lived in Michigan for 18 years and I know what these foods taste like .. on a cold day in Dallas all we had was cold salads and dried bread !!! .. fish was terrible and tasteless and hummus was dried muddy paste .. top it all my food ( 1 meat entree and 1 veggie entree) costed me $44 .. ru kidding me ?? Goto panda express and feed hot food for family of 4 at that price ..so glad I don't live close to this place .. I hate to leave this.kinda review but I had to.. this is not a middle eastern joint..call it a salad or some healthy joint as food is salt less and just boiled foods

Rajab is a GEM. We were working close by and I brought my employees. Re recognized they were lost so he was kind in explaining and answering their 168374 questions. I personally had been here numerous times and come back often. My employees enjoyed the food as well. Would highly recommend (Food was so good we forgot to snap photo until it was too late… haha)

What a fantastic place, just came today for a brunch and I’m really happy with the fantastic staff and a quality of the food. Baba Ghanoush is incredible tasty, great options on salads and lamb is really good.

This may have been the best meal I have ever had at a restaurant. The hummus, cauliflower, and beef kabob were excellent. The staff was very pleasant. 10 out of 10.

Best Mediterranean food in DFW hands down!!! The food is always fresh, authentic, very healthy, generous portions and the best value anywhere! Our go to place for lunch and catering when we have a large group gathering. The bread is baked in front of you and is often still warm! The staff is always friendly and the owners are often there making sure everything is done well. Highly recommend!

If you love salads, Mediterranean sides and fresh pita, this is the place to be! I love the concept of this restaurant but the quality of the fish and other meats are not good. I couldn't even eat the fish , it tasted rancid and the lamb shanks was so tough and lacked flavor. It was extremely disappointing and highly recommend you bypass these two items. Customer service was good and its easy to find the location. I will come back for the sides for sure! Pita and hummus though was 10/10!

We came at 9pm, food still looked fresh. The service was great, fast and friendly. The dolmas were delicious. The chicken shawarma wrap was one of the best I've had in quite awhile. Very nice atmosphere. Definitely somewhere I'll come back to when we're in town.

Ordered a few small items via uber eats and here's everything I had : 1) hummus w onions and mushrooms - not bad at all. The combination worked well (3.7/5) 2) fried kibbeh - pretty good . The accompanying tahini sauce was a great addition (3.6/5) 3) pita filled w beef meat - the weakest one out of all the items . (2.6/5) 4) spanakopita- pretty good all together . (3.5/5) 5) gyro meat - lamb meat was not bad all. Garlic sauce was also awesome . (3,7/5)

Man, I love this place! I am so thankful for every opportunity to venture to Andalous. The food is absolutely next level! It is hard to deviate from the Andalous Chicken and spicy hummus, not to mention the freshly baked pita bread service. The restaurant is always clean and a very welcoming place for lunch.

Our regular lunch spot with colleagues. My colleague recommended their beef stew and I can never get enough of it. Their spicy hummus is the best, although the beet salad was pretty meh!

Went there last night to enjoy a quick bite after CAVA was out of falafel and I'm so happy they were. Was able to enjoy some fresh falafel, freshly baked Zaa'taar bread, salads, veggies and more. It was a vegetarian dream. The service was quick and friendly, plus they are a unique style where you get your food pretty much right away. Will definitely be back soon!

I loved this place! Love the concept, the service and food! In particularly the food, fresh, amazingly tasty, large portions, great experience! The restaurant is casual with semi-self-serving; you select your choice of meal at the entrance, salad, sandwich or platter. The platter comes with choice of 1 meat and up to 4 sides. Their prices are affordable, $10.99 to $18.99. As you enter, you encounter the menu printed in large, colorful print on the wall; the flow of the restaurant is circular counter with the fresh pita bread being the second encounter here. At this point, I am 100% hooked! If you look towards the back of the fresh pita offerings. you can see the oven where these magnificent breads are being baked! Oh my! What a perk! All platters, come with 2 pita breads! As you proceed down the counter, you can see the appetizer section, followed by the side choices, and finally the meat selection choices. Almost at the payment section at the end, there are some desserts and freshly baked offerings. The whole place was like a candy store but with delicious Mediterranee food! Amazing! You give your meal selections to the server, who will place the side dishes together on your plate, while the meat is served separately. This particular evening, I chose 1 meat platter with 4 sides! What can I say... I wanted to try it all in one sitting! My platter consisted of hummus, falafel salad, crisp cauliflower, rice, and chicken. I loved it! The portion for me was enough for 2 meals. I had leftovers for the next day! Loved Andalous Mediterranean Grill!

Great Saturday Evening food ... My wife and I enjoyed the service and nice dinning experience!! I'm bringing my two sons next time for this high plate of delicious food. Thank you Andalous and staff ... ! I will drive from Grand Prairie for this any weekend!

La comida tiene muy rico sabor he probado el ternero y el pollo y esos platillos estaban muy ricos aparte el arroz basmati y una ensalada con col morada muy rica, el servicio es muy amable solo uno que otro que nos e ríen para nada, pero ha de ser su cultura, pero los demás que atienden son muy amables los latinos y los que se esfuerzan por hablar español fueron muy pero muy amablesel ambiente estaba muy bueno el restaurant está amplio y tiene mesas para grandes grupos en conclusión está muy bien, y fue mi segunda ocasión y vamos a volver

My husband and I had dinner at this establishment. We enjoyed the service, clean spacious restaurant and the fresh tasty cuisine (different hummus, salad, hot veggies, lamb, gyro, curry chicken, beef kebabs and hot homemade pita bread). Thank you Roger for welcoming us into the restaurant, sharing that Friday evenings is buffet style which included the meal drink and a little dessert for under $30 per person.

Caribbean passerby here... legitimately some of the best food I've ever had i had it to-go (ordered from Doordash.) I will not stop thinking about it and I cannot wait to return!!

This place was catered to my workplace. Omg! The food was delicious! The pita bread Definitely will make my way out there to eat!

I don't know why I keep coming back to this place. oh yeah, I do... the humus is heavenly. I just wish they weren't so stingy with it. I was a little cranky because they were out of potato's and the dolma was a little soggy, like it had been out most of the day. Pay more attention the the quality, it's the only reason people come.

Honestly I absolutely love this place (with the exception of my visit today). I had been wanting spicy hummus and my favorite is from andalous. So we drove almost an hour from Aubrey to eat Andalous. We arrived around 1 and it was pretty empty. There was pita in the oven but since some was sitting out, we grabbed the one that was ready and available. We then went through the line and ordered our meals. Their pasta salad is delicious and they've actually added olives to it. We also had spicy hummus (which was delish as normal) but tasted a little dry (and we added olive oil/paprika). The potatoes were a huge disappointment. They were cold and not as flavorful as they typically are. My husband had lamb kabob and I had chicken kabob. We waited a bit for each but they didn't taste warm and fresh like they typically do :(. All in all I'm so sad because not only did we drive in hour (using premium fuel lol) but we had a cold meal so it wasn't the same quality we are used to. I would go back only because this is the first bad experience I've had but heads up to anyone going here- make sure you go right when they open or during a busy time so your food will be hot and fresh.

We got the platters to go and were impressed by the options, quality, and the portion so definitely would return if we have a craving for Mediterranean Food. We were able to try the gyro and andalous chicken. Gyro was tasty and the andalous chicken was really tender, saucy, and came with a lot of veggies which was a plus! The sides we chose were mushroom/zucchini, rice, tabbouleh salad, spicy hummus, and cucumber salad. The platters came with 2 pita breads each which were super fresh. Everything paired well together and we had enough for leftovers next day.

I've been coming here for years and getting the family pack. It's a great deal and the food quality is absolutely amazing. The portions are fair and the price is fair. One of my favorite spots!

Good food hot and nice thanks a must visit If you have not visited highly recommended one around Dow

No flavor and was cold. The Mediterranean food in Dallas is very mid. The hospitality was nothing special. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of space.

Andalous is very tasty place to eat, the only negatives I can say are my personal disappointments not least of which is that they've changed the menu from a Mediterranean cafeteria into a self serve all you can eat operation with a noticeable increase in pricing. Perhaps this model will be more profitable for them, then again maybe not. At the present time it is still clean and the food is tasty as it is continuing it's delicious menu. I am further disappointed that now there are drastic up charges for the lamb kebabs on top of their already increased prices. Besides this I also want people to know that tips given via the use of CC/ debit card processing machines do not go to the staff but rather the owner of the restaurant. Please don't waste your money by paying more.

Andalous is a Gem. The food is absolutely delicious. I've been going there for at least 6 years now. The staff is amazing and sooo nice. Ms. Norma is such a sweetheart and funny. 10 out of 10 on everything. Ooooo the fresh baked bread is delicious.

Andalous is one of my favorite spots to eat when I visit Texas. Every time I leave I wish I am able to take this building back home, the closest one is 4 hours away. The staff is very kind and patient, taking their time to explain what an item may be or how their platters work. The inside is spacious. I appreciate restaurants that do not feel as if they're swallowing everyone inside. Our meals are always flavorful and delicious. And cmon, do you see the portions? We usually have leftovers. I love that. Below is what we got most recently. 1 Meat & 4 Sides - Andalous Chicken, Rice, Hummus and Spicy Hummus, Italian Green Beans, Greek Salad, Pita Veggie Sampler- Spinach Hummus, Couscous Salad, Tzatziki, Roasted Eggplant, Greek Salad, Pita, and cannot ever forget Baklava.

The food should be fresh. The salad tasted as it was made few days ago. Too many food labels with "free" but when I asked, I learned that they are not free, just one of the sides. Very misleading. I would recommend you pick another place.

Good food and service. Sometimes meat options are limited though. Also, trays are laid out in a buffet fashion and severs talk over the food. I would suggest they use face masks for better hygiene. I would still recommend it.

For the first time ever i ate at the Dallas location yesterday and loved it!! Today i made a dash order at the Las Colinas location and the service, quality of cooking, and temperature was as if it was not even the same business! The food was cold and poorly executed dishes! Not to mention the portion size of the baklavok!! as well as no veggies on my tray. Im very disappointed and would suggest if you want good quality ,service ,and experience ; Dallas would for sure be the better location. This location is not what it is!!

This place made me nostalgic because it reminded me of what Fadi's used to be before it was rebranded. Everything is made fresh and it is setup cafeteria style. I would highly recommend the chicken shawarma (it is 15/10) with the garlic sauce. Literally some of the best I've ever had. My issue was mainly the salads. I was a little disappointed in how they were seasoned (as in, they had hardly any flavor). I think it was an off day and it isn't a deal breaker. The service was very nice and the staff were very helpful when I had questions. I will be retuning soon for the shawarma!

There's those times where you're just quickly looking for a bite to eat and then stumble upon treasure. This place is legit! I've never been to a mediterranean place with SO many options. All of them were incredible. Got the 3 side combo with spicy hummus, greek salad, falafel salad and chicken. MAN, the meal was huge and fresh! I LOVE everything (except the falafel salad which was just OK). The pita was fresh and complimented the rest of the meal. If you love mediterranean food, make sure to stop here

First time eating here, but won't be the last. I called the restaurant for some clarity on the menu, and the the lady was very accommodating. So, the customer service was AWESOME. She answered my questions and made sure I had extra bread. I spent about $60 including Delivery fees and tip. The food was DELICIOUS! If you haven't given them a try, please do.

My favorite lunch spot in Irving. So many fresh and healthy options! I had the Andalous chicken, spicy hummus, and zucchini mushroom veggies.

While they have many options to choose from for their platters, and they serve great portions in this cafeteria-style diner, I was taken aback when I ordered the falafel platter and never received my falafels. After asking several times, by the time I got up and asked the manager, we had finished eating. Instead of offering to take care of my falafel platter, I got a $5 refund for the $15 meal. If I had known that I would only get to eat two sides, I would have just gotten the veggie platter and sampled different options since it includes 6 sides. If you want to eat fresh, this is a good option, but their food isn't bursting with flavor. I wasn't the biggest fan of the spinach hummus, though their chickpea and kidney bean salad and garlic sautéed squash and mushrooms were pretty good.

First, I want to say that I love their food! My last experience was beyond poor, which usually doesn't happen. I bought several a La carte orders and was rushed through. I ended up with $70 worth of food. The male employee asked me how many pita breads were in my bag and I told him 4. He said I was allowed ONE and charged me an extra $2.50 EACH for the other three! I have never been charged for pita bread, especially since I was feeding several people and spending $70. The rude employee said that other employees were "not doing it right and should have charged me" What a joke. Either this is a very bad rule or the employee was lying to me.

Another amazing dinner at Andalous! The prices have gone up a few dollars, but what hasn't nowadays. Portions are still very nice and the food quality is always fresh. Their tabouleh is crispy and delicious. Bringing a group here is also easy because of all the choices and availability of tables. I can't wait to dine here again. Probably one of the nearest restaurants which taste similar to my grandmother's cooking.

Fresh fresh fresh! Yummy and healthy. Exactly what I expected from Mediterranean restaurant. Huge selection of fresh vegetables, meats, pita bread. I have a younger kid and we ordered Shawarma chicken 6.99 and small rice $2.99 and the portions were generous. Worth the drive!

The food is generally very good but their delivery menu is terrible. The last three times we've ordered, they were either out of or no longer carried the items we ordered - as I speak, they have no okra or eggplant, both of which are staples in Mediterranean food. The Uber drivers are always the ones having to call and ask for substitutes which ends up delaying the order and causing a lot of frustration. This needs to be fixed.

Been going to this place for years food is amazing customer service is amazing people always nice no complaints at all

The food is great and the portions are huge. My personal favorites are gyros with fresh pitas and the roasted cauliflower. There are also lots of vegetarian options if that suits you. Please note that service is very limited (between Covid changes and there always being a hiring notice). I also stopped trying to do online and called in orders because there were so many mix-ups. Everything was packaged nicely but never completely correct. You can make a take-out order work but need to check for accuracy before leaving the restaurant.

When we make our journey to the grapevine area This restaurant is on our growing list of favorite places to dine The buffet is always spotless Never ending assortment of healthy options Today my plate was 1/2 greens and then Shwarma - small bowl of soup The beef was fresh so I filled up on it But I did get a fried drumstick always a treat For the grand finale They made a fresh pot of community coffee Once again a great place great location Great people

We had Ali Baba last week and saw this place on the way home. So we visited the one in N. Central Expy on Wed around 11:30 am. Ample parking and this place has way more offerings than Ali Baba. $16 per person including fountain drinks and tea but excluding tax. Saw a sign that you can add a lamb shank for $1.5 at the register. We asked the hostess but didn't quite understand her. They also sell pre-packed baklava for $2.44 in a small round container. They have spinach, spicy, traditional hummus, mama ganoush, Greek salad, etc. I didn't get to have grilled pomegranate eggplant at Ali Baba last week so I called ensuring they have this dish. SUPER EXCITED as it's my favorite as Fadi's and other Turkish restaurants in Houston, TX. The grilled eggplants were in a lot of clear sauce, unlike the ones I've had before as they had less sauce and darker in color. It was blend and the pomegranate molasses is definitely missing :( Truly disappointing. Other hot items like okra, stuffed squash, roasted potatoes, fish, fried fish, gyros, etc were ok. Some tags were missing so we guessed what they were. They have many chicken dishes but we didn't try them. Love the hot pita bread with garlic sauce and dips. Desserts were chocolate cakes, rice pudding, canned peaches and melons. We saw 2 staffs during the entire hour we were there. They didn't impose anyone wearing gloves on getting food from the buffet line. Overall a pleasant experience and may go back for just the lamb shank.

I removed two stars. 1) 30 min delay for preparation that caused delay in delivery 2) wrong sides was sent 3) no utensils Food was ok

Great selection, great taste, kind and gentle service. I have been there many times but i decided to review this time. I highly recommend it. If you are visiting the area, you will feel welcome and enjoy your meal.

Ended up here over the weekend looking for something with vegan options & found this place on Happy Cow. I got the falafel platter which comes with 4 falafels, 4 sides and 2 pita. Limiting to 4 sides was hard so I ended up getting a couple extra to get a good flavor for the place. This is cafeteria style so you'll go through the line to have them fill your plate. (service is helpful to make recommendations). I ended up with the fattoush salad (top 2 faves), fruit salad (too heavy on the honeydew for me), spicy hummus (top 2 faves), babbaghanoush (meh, I've had better, not smooth enough for me), dolmas (not my fave, weird sweet flavor to them), and vermicelli rice (pretty good). The falafel were crispy but had a mild flavor & were slightly oily - I liked them alright. The pita were ok, I wish they'd been fresher, warmer and softer. The checkout process seemed a little disorganized for someone who'd never been there before. The drinks are at the back of the dining room so she had to re-ring my order when I realized what my drink options were. I didn't want to make her ring it up again when I saw the cups of pickled vegetables on the other side of the cashier. There isn't much to the ambience, plenty of seating but the banquet seating wasn't in great condition as it was ripped in places with the foam filling exposed. Would I come here again? Probably - but now I know which sides are my faves & which aren't.

This is a go-to spot for my friend and me. Came back after moving away and it was still good. The lamb is still my favorite and tastes the same after all these years- flavors were spot on. Hummus and baba ganoush is always a hit with us. Stuffed grape leaves wasn't my favorite. Everyone got a little bit of everything for us all to try. Great portions and price.

Great food, really good service and nice atmosphere! Love their hummus and the falafel salad, always a good option!

I found the setup for ordering to be very confusing. It wasn't super obvious who you were supposed to tell "oh I want the falafel" until the very end. So, I guess I mean that I wasn't expecting it to be set up like a Chipotle or a Cava, but it is - so now at least you know. I really liked my falafel. I had no problem with any of my food. The rest of my party had the gyro meat and the curry chicken. The gyro was good, but the curry chicken was "too sweet" and "off". A manager (I think?) came around during our meal and asked how we were doing, which is nice, but the overall experience was a bit awkward.

Great lunch experience. Stopped for a lunch meeting on a business trip to Dallas before heading to the airport. We were a little early for lunch and there was no waiting and plenty of seating. Took a minute to get oriented to all the options on the menu since there are many food options. Food was displayed beautifully and the restaurant atmosphere was great. I had a meat & 2 sides - lamb kabobs, which were cooked perfectly, along with hummus (which counts as a side), and falafel salad. Portions were generous and although this is on the expensive side for lunch, I think you get a good value for the money. Also had a piece of pistachio baklava which was delicious. All in all a very good lunch experience.

Chef Raj. Was amazing!! Customized our Mediterranean dinner. Food was delicious . He Deserves A PAY RAISE!!

Very consistent food quality. Excellent hummus. Very acceptable pricing. Service is mid but thats ok. Unique atmosphere.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. My sister and I went here for a quick bite before we headed out of Dallas. OMG I AM SO HAPPY WE DID. It is laid out cafeteria style where you can see all of your choices. They looked so yummy and I was so overwhelmed. They are nice and allow you to sample all of their choices. I got the Greek salad, potatoes, and curry chicken. I was well pleased. The flavor of the potatoes ohhhhwweeeee--- garlic, lemony flavor different herbs and the curry was cooked just right. The server added extra juice on mine(cause thats how I like it. I will say that the only reason I took off a star was because the food wasn't piping hot, it was lukewarm. Other than that they met all of my expectations. I checked in and got a free dessert which was tasty as well. I will definitely be coming back when I come to Dallas and advise you to as well.

Wow was this ever a great find! Was looking on Yelp for something good and non chain related. There is a huuuuge variety of foods to choose from. You grab a tray and go along like a buffet but they serve you rather than you do it. Start with breads then on to a variety of hummus, baba ghanoush etc..... then on to salads until finally the meat section. They have this slow roasted chicken that is to die for! Next to that are these garlicky potatoes that you cannot stop eating. Would love to have the recipes for the chicken and potatoes...
