Andie's Restaurant

Solid Mediterranean food. The lamb wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it did the trick. Would’ve loved if they seared it. The dips are to die for though.

Andersonville restaurant, we tried for a family dinner. Great quad hummus with pita, and kabobs mixed with Angus, chicken and shrimp. Lemon dill rice soup was delicious. Turkish coffee was the best.

Food was excellent. Beef Kefka and chicken kefka especially. Our kids and two other families attended, and our kids were a bit rambunctious. And yet we had the most friendly staff I've seen perhaps anywhere - our waitress and two other staff members were absolutely terrific. Good food nice people and not overpriced. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

Really good. Definitely try the flaming cheese and I haven’t stopped thinking about the lemon chicken rice soup. I ordered the seared salmon and shrimp in the dill caper sauce over mashed potatoes. Extremely delicious but kind of weird that the shrimp had their tails on when served in a thick cream sauce. Kinda makes it messy and hard to eat. But it was still delicious!

Our first time here and we had a great experience. The servers were attentive and great. The place was clean and comfortably large. They have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options, which is a plus. We tried a few different items, overall a lot of food: Sprouted falafel starter- delicious Harressa Dip- very good Veggie Combination #2 - very good My partner had a meat dish, and he really liked it. Every entree comes with a soup. I had the lentil soup which was the only item I thought was just okay. Overall I definitely recommend and plan to be back if I’m in the area.

Grew up in this area in the 1990s. Yes, this restaurant has been around awhile. Andies 1 and 2 back in the days were some of my favorite restaurants in Andersonville. This was the first time in years my husband and I went and there are still some bright spots like the moussaka and gyros and the hummus and lentil soup BUT some of the staff is rude. The pita bread was obviously stale and the medium rare shish kabob I ordered was well done and tough. So no it was not the same feel and quality as in the past. Kinda sad, but sometimes past glory never returns.

Came in for an early dinner around 5 and we were seated promptly. All the staff were friendly and we were promptly served water & pita bread. I got the chicken curry couscous with lentil soup & the pomegranate sangria. Everything was delicious & I love the open air window seating. After dinner I enjoyed a Turkish coffee. Definitely enjoyed the experience and will definitely return.

Try the appetizer dip sampler! It's delicious! This restaurant is a gem; it's been around since 1974. The service is great! The Tunisian Chicken is savory. The portions are generous; I will have to try dessert on the next visit.

I have always enjoyed the mojitos that Andies serves during street festivals but have never actually dined in the restaurant, now I have; and I am happy to report that the food is good, the atmosphere cozy (especially by the fireplace) and the staff friendly and attentive. My wife and I shared a meal and it was plenty for both of us. Worth noting that the menu is well done, it clearly denotes in house favorites, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. We shall return!

If you're looking for a meal that delivers both flavor and comfort, Andies is a must-try! The Saganaki is a perfect start--crispy, golden, and perfectly cheesy, with a little flare of excitement when the flame hits the table. The almond-crusted tilapia is another standout; the crunch of the almonds complements the delicate fish, while the dill rice is fragrant and a refreshing balance to the dish. And let's not forget the Greek cheesecake, it's rich, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness to end the meal on a high note. But the real gem here? The lentil soup. It's always spot on--hearty, full of flavor, and comforting in every bite. It's the kind of dish that feels like a warm hug on a cold day. Everything tastes fresh, well-balanced, and expertly prepared. A great spot for anyone craving fresh, delicious, and satisfying Mediterranean flavors! The service at Andies really takes it to the next level! It's like dining with friends, everyone is so welcoming, and they remember your name, which makes the experience feel even more personal. You can't go wrong with the homemade sangria, either; it's the perfect mix of fruity and refreshing, with just the right kick. The Mediterranean Sea Breeze Margarita is also a must-try! It's a delicious twist on a classic, with vibrant, tangy flavors that complement the Mediterranean dishes perfectly. Great food, great drinks, and fantastic service. what more could you ask for?

I just love this Mediterranean place. It's nice and cozy and the food is so good. On this night, we came to try their vegan dishes, and we were not disappointed as always they served great food. I had the Moraccan Eggplant served with Dill rice, my favorite of course and lentil soup. My wife tried the Portabello & Lentil with Dill rice as well and lemon soup. Both were delicious and plenty to take home for lunch. We also had the Hummus dip sampler tray and non alcohol drinks. For desert, my wife had a scoop of ice cream with chocolate syrup. Tatiana, our waitress was great.

Been coming here for 20+ years. Casual dining is experience. Always get the gyros and never lets me down. Service is friendly and attentive. Good for a large group.

This used to be our go to dinner place but has declined recently. The past two times we ordered the tilapia for delivery, we got something that strongly resembled catfish and nothing like what we've been receiving for years. Very disappointing.

Great food and ambiance! Lots of vegetarian options which is a big sell for Me! I went with a date and we both had a specialty cocktail that we enjoyed. I had the Moroccan eggplant entree and he had the beef kefta. We chose dill rice as a side and also both had a soup- I had the lentil and he had the chicken lemon. Everything was yummy!

My family and I have eaten at Andy for years, we've also had it delivered but this is my first review. The food is excellent, I've had just about everything on the menu. The service and staff are the best, and it always on top of everything. In the summertime when they open the windows, the ambience is nice. Thank you Andies for allowing me to share great memories with my family!

First time in a long time that I've been to a Mediterranean restaurant. I am not the biggest fan but I will say their Pita Bread was really good, it comes warm and soft to the table. Our server was really kind, and attentive. For my entree I had the Trio sampler I believe, the highlight of the dish was the chicken and dill rice I chose as my side. I think for someone who enjoys Mediterranean food this would be a great place to try. Side note: FREE parking behind the restaurant (says it on the menu) but didn't know before we went so we ended up paying for parking.

Always liked this place but dang...inflation done ruined a good thing. Ordered the same thing I been ordering for years and the portions were *significantly smaller* Same price. Used to get a whole pita wrap now its just a pita pocket. Too bad, wont be returning.

Outside of the staffing issues that plague this place and many others like this place, overall this spot is fantastic and I can only go by my food experiences here even though you will see reviews on this yelp thread that talk about inconsistency. So far I've been nothing but happy...Yes the place will be empty and you will still wait to be seated due to one or two waiters on the job...oh well, it is what it is...At least they don't over seat the dining room and then work the 2 waiters to death and give bad service. On to the food...Everything I've had here has been fantastic...From the kebab skewers of different meats to the gyros platter to the little lamb spring rolls with ginger honey sauce and the soups and baklava...All delicious, well prepared and hitting all the right spots. Already looking forward to go back.

Food was average. Went for Thanksgiving dinner..Waitress was the worst I have ever seen .No greeting, not once did she come to our table to ask if we needed anything ..One and done with this place .Bill for 7 was 270.00 But the tip of 18% 40.00 was way to much. Work to hard for my money..After the pandemic you would think restaurants would be looking to keep customers ,with good service ....and wait staff ........not so here.

Andie's really is one of the gems of Andersonville. Understated, but some of the best food and service you'll find. Service is never anything but exceptional. Also one of the few kid friendly spots on Clark St.

Stopped in here after deciding that we needed some sustenance, as we were drained from our day traipsing around, holiday shopping in Andersonville. It was the perfect spot. We shared the dip sampler platter (hummus, harissa, baba ganoush, and potato dip) and artichoke hearts with olives. Everything was fine. The pita was plentiful. I was also really surprised to see a mocktail section on the menu. It's possible we didn't get the full experience, as it was sort of an awkward non-meal time, and everything was perfectly pleasant, I'm just not sure I'm excited to rush back and try other things on the menu, but only because the list of places I want to go is really long. Our bill for these snacks for the two of us was $20 pre-tip.

The food wasn't great. The hummus starter was smaller than I hoped it would be. The rice was crunchy. The man filling water and bringing pita was great! The rest of the service was generally slow. It wasn't crowded, either.

For me, Andies is an alright Mediterranean restaurant if you need somewhere that's large and not too noisy with a good number of options available. This is location conveniently on a street with plenty of shopping, entertainment, bar, and other dining options nearby. Service is quick and efficient, and decor is fairly nice. Unfortunately, there's nothing special about the food. While it's served in large portions, I feel like there's fast casual options I'd rather go for over the food I had here. The lentil soup is warm with a nice consistency and provides a hearty option for the cold chicago winters. The Greek salad comes with nice crispy lettuce and a light flavored dressing. The gyro meat in the gyros platter was a bit underseasoned and not seared on the edges. The meat was soft, but not juicy. This did not have much synergy when mixed with the raw onion and tomato, probably since the tzatziki sauce had barely any flavor. The chianti braised short rib gave a sense of comfort food although the overcooked short rib detracted from the enjoyment of the dish. The amount of meat provided was fairly generous though. The carrots, spinach, onions, and green beans in red wine was a light accompaniment to the dish and didn't do much to help flavor the meat. The curry vegetable couscous was overpowered by too much curry powder which hid the flavor of the sauteed onions and peppers. The cous cous felt a bit undercooked which gave the dish a slight gritty texture. Overall, not a bad place for a social gathering. The food was alright but a bit light in flavor and could have had better textures.

Usually the food I have here is good. Not today the Curry chicken with couscous had no curry, full of tomato paste and not spicy at all. The filet mignonette kabobs were tough , hard to chew. Skip those two dishes.

This food is school lunch cafeteria quality at best. My order last night was bland, flavorless (except for LOTS of salt), and uninspired. Do actual people with actual background in this culinary style make this food? To describe it as Mediterranean would be a lie. DO NOT EAT HERE.

It was pretty standard Greek fare. Nothing mind blowing. It wasn't crowded so that was a great opportunity for dinner conversation without having to yell.

As a business professional myself, I cringe every time I witness or encounter a front line employee doing something stupid that ultimately causes the establishment to lose money and customers. Last night, my lady friend and I arrived around 8:20 pm. There was literally two of us. This establishment was about 70-75% empty. We were meant by the hostess, she asked if we had reservations? We informed the hostess that we did not have reservations, but asked if it was needed. The hostess informed us that their establishment normally only takes reservations... We looked around and literally saw 70-75% of the restaurant clear with open and clean tables, therefore, we were little confused. In addition, the establishment was scheduled to close at 10pm, which was about a 100 minutes away. Was the establishment expecting a rush of people to come in during this time??? I am not sure, it clearly made zero sense. Nevertheless, we asked how long before we could get a table, the hostess informed us that it would be about 20 to 25 minutes. Really? Okay, we took a seat directly in front of the host stand, but immediately started to call other restaurants in the vicinity. The first restaurant I called was an establishment named Fiya (which was actually busy, we saw this with our own eyes as we walked by). Fiya informed us that they would seat a party of two immediately, therefore, we walked out of this establishment and took our business to Fiya. I must state, the hostess was very kind and professional, but clearly and sadly caused a negative impact on this establishment. When in doubt, always seek management approval if you do not have the authority to do something. We should have been seated and taken care of immediately. This was our first and lasting impression of this establishment... There's plenty of restaurants in Chicago, we will never return. Lastly, there is a restaurant next door by the name of Rezar's, I highly recommend it.

Went in, got a table, noticed the seats had food pieces on then. We were going to move to another table, but realized that wasn't any cleaner. We asked if they cleaned their seats and got a response "if they're dirty"... enough said. We left. Gets two stars for the benefit of the doubt that they have good food, but we won't ever be trying it.

We have been long time customers of Andies, just never got around to doing a review for them. I have always enjoyed my meals there and that is why it was a go to place for our Xmas Eve dinner. Our family has been getting together with friends for Xmas Eve for the last 20 years. We always go to different restaurants: initially it was the Signature Room for dinner after spending the afternoon on the 95th floor for drinks. But as our group expanded from 3 to 20 people at times, we had to shift gears and find places to accommodate us. Fast forward to this year with COVID. Not only were we not going out to eat, but definitely were not going to be hanging out with that many people. But we still wanted to do our Xmas Eve thing. I was looking around for something to order so I would not have to cook and one of the two people we had invited over was not a big fan of Italian (so no Calo's). So I took a look at Andies catering menu. Since it was only going to be five of us, I ordered the Andies Classic Pack for $59.95. This serves 5-6 People and for the price, it is an amazing and tasty deal. The pack came with Chicken Kabob, Chicken Kefta, Beef and Lamb Kefta, Shawerma, Hummus, Greek Salad with Greek Dressing, Basmati Rice, Tzatziki with house made yogurt sauce and a dozen Pita (served warm and cut in half). I love the food here and I am telling you, this is good value for the money. In addition to this pack, I also ordered the spinach pies and the Dolma (a favorite of The Doctor and The Queen). Folks there was plenty of food, so much that we had left overs. Unfortunately I did not take any photos of the food before dug into it, but the picture below was the left overs after we all had eaten. They also offer a chicken kabob and gyro pack for $99.95 and $95 for 10 people, so I am guessing you could feed 15 based on what we got. This a great place to order to meet everyone's needs: meat lovers, chicken, lamb, vegetarians, they have it all. Definitely will consider ordering from here again the next time I have a "party".

So we made a last minute reservation for Valentine's Day here. We have done it before because the restaurant feels like a special occasion for us. They were very short staffed (only 2 servers for the whole restaurant) and they very apologetically informed us there would be a wait even with the reservation and the reason why. More often than not, that would have put us off staying, but we were looking forward to the evening, so we waited probably about 15 minutes. And also, COVID has taught us to be more patient. Definitely worth it. Our server was so great. Making recommendations when asked, attentive without hovering, we didn't feel like they were short staffed. Started with Saganaki, of course, which is a must - served with a flame and flourish and a full-hearted "Opa!" Complimentary soup was offered for waiting. Both of us had the lemon chicken and rice which was warming on a cold evening. Our entrees were chosen with great guidance from the server: Tunisian Chicken and Artichoke and the salmon and shrimp dish. Both were just what we needed for a wintery special occasion dinner: hearty and plentiful. Finished off with sharing the tasty baklava and the most amazing Turkish coffee served in delicate Demitasse cups with deep, bold rich flavor. Please patronize this Andersonville staple. We've never been disappointed.

Slowly getting back to normal life, we ventured to Andies. Bear in mind that we'd not been for ages. The restaurant décor was the same except for a colorful, lighthearted bird mobile in the center of the restaurant. As one dips their toe back into the restaurant scene, what was nice as well was a number of tables at the front with open windows. We felt comfortable. But what about the food? What about the service? Andies always had a shining personality and they still do. They always had good service and they still do. Before, the food was goodish; now, based on what we had on our last visit, it's reached very goodish status. From cocktail to appetizer to entrée to dessert all was very, very enjoyable. The martini cocktail was called 'Don't Mess With Me'--extremely well-crafted. Ordering off the special menu, I had the mint pea soup (almost clear broth with supporting ingredients), bass with pistachio crust (moist fish, tasty and a subtle add-in with the pistachio), and cheesecake with graham cracker crust. Asked the server for advice on the cheesecake--he didn't offer an 'everything's good'. He offered past reactions of those who ordered it. Hoping for a great ending to the meal, I took the chance of having lame, boring cheesecake, but ended up with a final wonderful treat for the evening. It's refreshing to see a better now than before.

Ordered from Uber Eats. When driver showed up it wasn't our order. Working with the driver I contacted the restaurant and we figured out a different driver took our order. Andie's staff worked to remake our order and get it to us quickly. Props to the staff and manager for making it right! Food was yummy plus. Babaganoush was stellar, as always. Pitas are the best in Chicago, no doubt in my mind. The vegetable mousaka I ordered hit the spot and my wife gave two thumbs up to her lentils and portabella dish. It could have been a fiasco but Andie's made it right. I've been a long time customer and will be one for years to come. Thanks.

Food was good, but waiter seemed annoyed. Ordered an appetizer (Dolmades), which were great but heavy on the sauce. Also ordered two entrees- Gyros and Chicken Kabob. They were good. I have had better but they were not bad. Sangria was ehhhhhhhh okay. Probably wouldn't ever order a cocktail from Andies again.

I'm a big fan of Andies. They are a great go-to spot for dine-in, delivery, and carry-out. Per a recent dine-in experience, I was reaffirmed with my appreciation for this spot. Hummas- on point and so fresh. Baba Ganoush- delicious! Falafel- very small and crispy Tabouleh- yum! Veggie Mousakka- huge portion!! Spinach pie- quite enjoyable. Veggie combo plates- great value and perfect for vegetarians with all kinds of food interest. Finally- the pita is just so addicting. You cannot stop putting hand to mouth! The pita is fluffy and warm and not too dense. I will be back again and again :)

Outstanding quality, excellent variety, huge value. Bought what we thought was good for 7 people, turned out we had leftovers for 7 more. Can't recommend enough.

Our group of four recently enjoyed dinner at Andies in Andersonville, have not been here in years! They have a diverse Mediterranean menu, including Lebanese, Greek, Turkish and Moroccan dishes. We tried appetizers including falafel, hummus, spinach pie, and the excellent crunchy burek rolls with tasty dipping sauce. My main course was the saucy lamb osso buco with green beans and polenta. I also tried my friends' selections including pomegranate chicken, biryani rice and couscous. Our helpful server brought out a tray of dessert selections, so we chose flan, tiramisu and baklava to complete our meals. Lots of good eating this evening!

Wildly inconsistent and lately just outright bad. It's apparent that they aren't making all the food fresh and the gyros shift from burnt black bits to undercooked, weirdly shaped pieces. Also hit or miss if your food is ice cold getting delivery too. Quality control is atrocious. I've let them know on 2 previous occasions that the food was poor and even got a credit on the last one. This is the last time we order from Andies which is a shame because when it's good, it's really good.

After many years, we decided to give Andies another try. Hubby got a gyros sandwich deluxe and I got their braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and veggies. Also got an order of hummus. The gyros was average, but okay and certainly the portion was decent. My short ribs were okay as well, though there was a slight bitter taste to it. I will try and doctor up my leftovers. There was plenty of food, but it was all piled into one of those round aluminum containers. with no attempt to separate the ingredients. It looked more like stew. As for the hummus, it was absolutely tasteless. If I didn't know it was supposed to be hummus, I would never had guessed. Very disappointing. Delivery was prompt and packaging was good (except for mushing my short rib dinner together. I don't mean to sound harsh, but when you spend between 40 to 50 bucks for something you feel is "meh" and you have such fond memories of Andies when they first opened ..... well, one must speak up.

Food, excellent as always. Ambience -- so lovely to sit in a window seat, open to the world. Service... hats off to the busman who responded when we could not get the attention of our waitstaff. We don't eat out regularly -- it is a rare treat. So to be ignored most of the meal, in a nearly empty restaurant (we were dining around 8pm) was vexing. We waited an interminably long time to get a refill of pita bread for the (fabulous) baba ghanoush. After our waitstaff finally acknowledged our repeated requests for more pita, they took the empty pita basket BACK to a table where they continued conversing with the only other diners on our side of the restaurant -- rather than bring us more pita. My soup came well after the main course, when I had to ask for it (lemon/chicken/rice: SUPERB!). We flagged the busman down several times during the meal to ask for what we needed. He was most gracious, in spite of seeming to have to provide the bulk of the service in the absence of waitstaff help.

I've eaten at Andies off and on for many years. I was introduced to the best moussaka (eggplant) that I have ever eaten to this day. This was when Andies was just a tiny restaurant. They just don't have the same quality of food anymore. I love their dill rice and baba ganoush. But I simply got a skewer of grilled chicken and the chicken was like rubber. This is a basic dish that should be tender and juicy. And the music was elevator music. Play some middle Easter music that fits the food but not elevator music. The moussaka was good and looked good but it's not that original recipe that they had years ago.

A very disappointing experience, unfortunately. Let me put an asterisk and say that we came during the MidsommerFest. The menu was condensed significantly and I didn't ask about why until we were already sitting down. Highlights: the waiter! He was very understanding and accommodating. Knowledgeable about the menu and willing to make adjustments if wanted. Cons: the food! We ordered the spinach pie. Typical Mediterranean dish wrapped in phyllo. The phyllo usually has a nice crisp bite to it. Unfortunately, it was not very flavorful and tasted as if they put it in the microwave and brought it out to us. After one bite we knew we really didn't like. I don't remember ever sending back a dish, but unfortunately it just wasn't palatable. We also ordered the gyro platter. This is usually my favorite dish at any Greek restaurant. What makes it great are the mix of spices in the meat. Both myself and the fiancée were underwhelmed and thought it could improve significantly. We did eat it and the tzatziki sauce really made the dish, so extra sauce is recommended. Overall I thought it really could use something, ok a lot, more. Again, maybe during regular hours with a regular menu the quality would be significantly improved. I probably won't be trying it again as there are many other Mediterranean options that have not been explored.

Such a great spot! Relaxed and very nonchalant. Food was wonderful! Our waiter was absolutely charming! Her energy was so calming, understanding, and made us, and the atmosphere feel very welcoming! Shout out to Tara!!! Hope anyone that goes here gets her as their waitress.

Wow! I've ordered delivery from them before but tonight was the best ever. Food arrived in 30 minutes. I ordered the pepper hummus and braised short ribs, which came with rice and lemon rice soup. Everything was piping hot, and the entree was so big! A bed of rice covered with off the bone short ribs and a ton of delicious veggies including carrots, green beans, tomato, zucchini, chick peas, spinach and potatoes (I may have left something out, sorry). Everything was so, so tasty. The hummus was also delicious and had veggies and an olive on it, served with lots of warm pita bread. I'll definitely get three or four meals out of this. It was a nice mid-week treat since I'm using up vacation days from last year. I can't travel, so I figured I'd spend my money on food, and this was better than anticipated. I don't mean to go overboard, but I've had lots of deliveries since things changed last March, and this one really stood out, no offense to the others.

I've ordered Andies a few times on Ubereats now, but hoping to eventually visit the restaurant itself. I love Mediterranean food! I grew up in a town in Michigan where middle eastern/ Mediterranean food are extremely popular. More specifically, Lebanese and Greek food. Now living in Chicago, I've struggled to find a place like back home. Andies has come the closest to satisfying my crave. First, the chicken lemon rice soup is incredible! Second, the fattoush is a must with any order- you will not be disappointed!! The menu has an abundance of options that I'd like to try- but just the good ol' chicken kabob is a go-to for me. The meals are generous in portion size, so I recommend sharing a meal and ordering salads/ soups/ and apps to share with the one main dish. Overall, the food is delicious and I highly recommend! I can't wait to try the restaurant itself!

Delivered by GrubHub, Andies came quicker than expected wait time. The gyro was delicious and came with an abundance of me but you have to ask for extra to Zieke sauce or they only give you one small side. I highly recommend the spicy red dip which was absolutely bursting with flavor! I ordered all 4 dips to try and that was my favorite. The dip came with plenty of pita bread and the Greek salad homemade dressing was just incredible . Would order again!

Beef Shwarma: The rice was really well seasoned. There wasn't much meat though. The little bit we did have, was good. I'm not sure I'd order it again though. Lamb Shank: AMAZING. The meat was so tender. Like butter in your mouth Hummus: It was good. There wasn't anything special about it. Just solid. Would absolutely order again. Pitas: SO. FRESH. Spinach feta pies: Fantastic. Wasn't too feta-ie. My boyfriend usually doesn't like these but he at 2! Which left me with one -__- Would order again Tiramisu: The ladyfingers were dry/spongy. I'm not a fan of them that way, but my boyfriend is. The whipping (or whatever that creamy yumminess is surrounding the ladyfingers is) was delicious. I could eat that straight. It was like a Cool Whip texture with a rich and creamy milk chocolate. Definitely ordering again

I came to this page just to look at pictures to decide what to order tonight, and was APPALLED to see so many bad reviews. I read them out of curiosity. A lot of people are saying the food here is bad. I felt obliged to write a quick review because, in my opinion, Andies is easily one of the best restaurants in Chicago. If you think the food is bad, then either something is wrong with your taste buds, or you aren't ordering the right things. As a vegetarian, this place is heavenly. They have - by far - the best baba ganoush in the city. I have had baba ganoush everywhere, and nothing comes close. I think about it all of the time, and crave it. It has just the right smokiness and creaminess. They always garnish their appetizers with slices of pepper, cucumber, and olives. Did I mention the pita bread is to DIE FOR? Best pita bread ever. Everything I've had there - from vegetarian combinations to pasta dishes to Morrocan Eggplant to mousaka to the delicious and nicely spiced vegetarian cous cous - has been outstanding. I've been eating here for years and if there is every anything wrong with an order or missing or not quite right, the service response is impeccable. My favorite dish here is the spinach pie, paired with the perfect Greek salad. The yogurt sauce accompanying this dish is something I fantasize about on a regular basis. One last tip: Brunch. They have a full buffet on Sundays that is good, but I actually prefer to go on Saturdays, when they serve truly delicious omelets and potatoes with a Mediterranean flair. And it's usually empty, so don't tell anyone. Brunching in this neighborhood can be pretty annoying. Not at Andies, though. Almost forgot - don't order the baklava unless you want to have a foodgasm.

Delicious Greek food! I'd recommend this restaurant! We had it take out and it was so tasty and fresh. The pita bread was so soft and surprisingly delicious - not what you'd expect for a plain bread. We shared a beef shawarma. I thought it was going to be a wrapped beef in a pita kind of meal but it's actually beef on top of the rice and the pita bread wrapped separately. It comes with sauce and the portion was enough to share it with a large Greek salad. The salad was so refreshing, and it came with vinaigrette, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and seasoned perfectly. They have more than ten vegetarian options!!

The place was pretty empty for a Wednesday night but the mural on the outside was what drew us in. We were very pleasantly surprised with the fresh complimentary pitas and prompt service. The waiter had excellent suggestions and advised against ordering too much. Quite a few vegan options, and the waiter was careful to be sure we ordered soups or apps that were also vegan. The meals come with soups and some come with sides. I had the vegetarian curry couscous which was delicious with nuts, cooked veggies and dried fruit and my husband had the cheesy baked moussaka which was so rich and creamy I made him switch with me for a while. They only had one selection of Chardonnay but it was good and I liked it. Definitely would go back. Mediterranean paintings on the walls and large enough for a big party.

You are in for a relaxing evening at Andies! Great food and lovely folks made for a tasty evening that was full of flavor- starting with the dip sampler- a must, mostly because I wanted to say 'baba ganoush' as many times as possible! (The red pepper is actually better though). Soups were also a great call but don't fill up. Couscous is a full helping and worth the price. A great value for the variety. Enjoy the setting

My wife and ordered delivery from here and were not impressed. Andies had a 4th of July weekend special for 2. The price was good and we soon found out why. For an appetizer we ordered spinach pie. The pie involved three small wedges of spinach and dough. Only one had any feta cheese in it. The two others were essentially tasteless and soggy. We had lentil soup and lemon chicken soup. The lentil soup was good. The lemon chicken was a complete fail. It tasted like nothing and I had to heavily salt it, add lemon and onion. I usually leave the cooking to the professionals, but that was not an option here. For entrees we had beef shwerma and chicken curry. The beef was dry with a lot of gristle and mostly inedible. It only tasted sweet and had no other flavor. The chicken curry was okay.

This place literally ripped me off. I ordered the "Big Greek Salad" under the "entrees salads" portion of the menu. It boasted lemon, tomato, cucumber, EEVO(which I subbed for tzaziki), lemon, olives, feta. Sounded yum. It costs $10.95. The host asked me if I wanted a large salad. Yes, I was ordering the full entree salad, not a side salad. I wasn't sure if there was a side greek salad but, yes, I was ordering this as my meal, so I wanted the salad that cost $10.95. For protein I added shrimp(+$6 that's fine). Well, I looked at my receipt and I got charged an EXTRA $6.00 for replying yes when I was asked if I want a large salad entree-sized salad, when on the menu it says $10.95 (so I paid a total $16.95). In addition, the salad quite literally sucked. Honestly. Breakdown: I paid- -$10.95 (price for an entree salad) - $6.00 upcharge for replying to the host that yes I want a large salad, not a side salad -$6.00 for four shrimp - This equaled to around $23.00 I quite literally got: - a half of a roughly and randomly chopped up cucumber (big and rough chunks, roughly chopped, I could do better at home) - a literal half of a red onion chopped roughly (no pieces were the same size, looked like the cook was in a rush) - a tomato, roughly chopped. The green part from the stem was still on it, no one bothered to remove that - an ounce of literally flavorless feta crumbles - two ounces of literally flavorless tzaziki dressing ( why was it chunky? where was the finely chopped cucumber in it? Questions I will never know the answer to) - an ounce and a half of four small/medium sized shrimp - two lemon slices - 8 kalamata olives - some oregano seasoning I'm keenly aware that a salad is made of only vegetables, but this dish was a literal joke. Horrible execution. I cannot believe I paid $23 for two vegetables that seemed like they were chopped by a four year old and four small shrimp. I get salads all the time everywhere and Chicago boasts some amazing salads for $23 or less. This place doesn't care about quality, period. Never again here. I've genuinely never been more upset after a meal. P.S.- The babganoush here is a joke as well. Zero flavor, and runny. Go to Taste of Lebanon, theirs is soo much better We got takeout and they didn't include a single napkin or fork. It was only until we said we'd eat right outside that they gave us silverware and napkins. I was here ten years ago and was impressed. I took my good friend here to impress her and neither of us were. I don't know what the other reviews are talking about. Meal was worth $8.00 + $2 for shrimp max. I paid $23.00. Rip off.

The food here is always great. Fresh, light, and rich in flavor. Almost every major occasion my family and I go here for the last 5 years. It's just me, my mother and my sister. The service has always great and this Thanksgiving was no different. We have been attending Andie's lunch buffet for the last 3 years. Its filled with Mediterranean and traditional American Thanksgiving dishes that really adds some variety to the dinner. It really hits the spot and prevents all the clean up and prep work. We were also delighted to see that the same waiter we had from the previous was there and remembered us. We had a wonderful time as always. Some of the best lamb and Turkey dishes you'll find in the city. I highly recommend this place if you enjoy Greek cuisine.

Excellent food. The saganaki is always a must. The spring rolls were very unique. The filet mignon kabobs were the hit! Try the spicy cauliflower as an entree.

I recently had dinner at Andies, and everything was wonderful. I was impressed with their menu and how clearly gluten-free and vegetarian options are marked. I have Celiac Disease and can't eat gluten, so sometimes I find it difficult to go out to dinner. Andies has so many gluten-free options, including gluten-free pita bread. The service was great, as well. I will certainly be coming back.

Excellent place to sample Mediterranean food. We had a group of 7 and the staff was very accommodating, helpful, and service was quick. The price is a bit higher but the portions are fairly large. I ordered the veggie sampler #1 and everything was tasty.

I love this place!! BYOB no cork fee on mondays... dog friendly, the Harissa dip with pita bread was to die for - the grilled chicken kabob, dill rice, and roasted vegetables were literally out of this world. Fresh, delicious ingredients and fair prices! Complimentary watermelon at the end of our meal too :) the server (maybe he was an owner or manager too?) was so sweet and attentive and anticipated anything we could need! Will be back very soon :)
