Andalous Mediterranean Buffet

Very clean Mediterranean buffet with lots of variety. Four different hummus options, tzatziki, about six kinds of chicken, and multiple fresh salads. Everything tasted fresh, and I enjoyed every dish. Seating area is clean and simple—great for families and for sampling a variety of Mediterranean food. Not really a date or business meeting spot, but excellent for casual dining. Would definitely return.

I use to work very near this location and loved coming here for lunch, my job moved a good distance away, but now I’m closer to it again. The food is just as good as I remember it to be 4 years ago. The squash and the coriander potatoes are insanely delicious and the spicy hummus is still one of my favorites. Staff is nice and very helpful.

This place is a great spot if you’re craving Mediterranean food. The place is always spotless, which really adds to the dining experience. What stood out most to me is how often they top up the food you never feel like you’re getting leftovers that have been sitting there too long. Everything tastes fresh, and there’s plenty of variety, from grilled meats and flavorful rice to fresh salads and sides. It’s the kind of buffet where you can try a little bit of everything and still want to go back for more. For an all you can eat place, it’s definitely good value, and the quality is better than most buffets I’ve been to.

This place was freaking awesome! We definitely need one of these back home. I never eat buffets due to how many people are hanging over food but the set up and how clean everything was I gave it a shot and I'm super glad I did. I left so full and for 25$ for all you can eat Mediterranean food that's this good you just can't beat it. On top of that I got to enjoy my food on an empty patio ..loved it. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

The food is delicious! The beef and chicken kabobs are very moist and rich. There is a large variety of choices and the presentation is very enticing. I took two stars off service because on the last two occasions I was here, it took a full ~ 20 - 30 minutes to refill the buffet with popular items like the beef and chicken kabobs. A lot of people were left waiting and you could see the owner going over to the cooks and having tense conversations about the delay. The cooks need to be prepared for the busy hours. I took two stars away from atmosphere due to the owners/management not taking responsibility to admonish parents who literally let their children RUN around the restaurant. It is disturbing and annoying to other diners. Management needs to step in and make parents responsible for keeping their children in chairs at the table and not being able to leave the table unaccompanied.

Clean place. Food was fresh and the manager was nice. Baklava is really tasty. I would recommend!

If you only had to eat one thing, I would suggest the snapper. Very flavorful, but everything is good, especially the salads and the hummus.

We were at the Andalous Mediterranean Buffet during Ramadan, and it was unbelievably busy. There were not enough tables inside to accommodate all the people that were coming in. And no one was turned away or informed that it might be 30min+ wait until there is an inside seating option available. Cashier at the front would collect the payments and then people are trapped, at least that what that felt like. We ended up seating on the patio, and that would have been a wonderful idea, however, it was cold and windy, so experience was not the best to say the least. The décor of the place is dated and the rusty and dirty air vents on the ceiling are the same as they were a year ago. The whole in the ceiling at the front is also still there… We would have left if it weren’t for a friend who we were meeting us there and who purchased our tickets in advance. One positive thing about the place being crowded – all the food was fresh and turned over very frequently. And the food was really good. There are plenty of vegetable options, numerous fresh salads and hot cooked stews, etc. Chicken was good and so was fish. Dessert bar was full of fresh melons and jello. However, a young girl licked and touched almost all watermelon pieces, it was truly disgusting. So that was it for us. We will not be coming back, that’s for sure. It is sad though, because they can really cook!

We contacted the nearest Fadi Mediterranean restaurant, and it indicated this location. We confirmed by calling beforehand, and they assured us it was part of the Fadi chain. Upon arrival, we were stunned to discover a completely different establishment. We entered to verify, and it was not Fadi's. Instead, it had a similar setup with minimal or no staff. We also learned they charge $25 per person, whereas Fadi's standard price is $15. Due to Thanksgiving, we had our guests with us and had no choice but to proceed. It became clear that we had been scammed. 1. Google had not been updated with the correct name or phone number. 2. The display food appeared impressive but was stale upon tasting. My best friend later fell ill. 3. Most troubling, payment was required upfront--if we sought a refund, they showed no intention of honoring it. We left very disappointed. We spoke to a woman who claimed to be the manager, but she said she couldn't do anything as the manager was out. We provided our contact information, but they never followed up. We advise everyone to conduct thorough due diligence before engaging in experiences like ours. This place deserves zero stars. Avoid this establishment at all costs.

Went specifically to the Central Expressway location site and it showed a menu as options for ordering. When I arrived, was told that was only at their other location and I had to purchase a buffet dinner for $20. The restaurant itself was freezing cold, which led to our food getting cold immediately upon sitting down at our table. Many of the meat options were not fresh, including the chicken kebab, what they called beef kebab (really kafta), and the gyro meat was extremely thick and dry. The healthy salad options were limited, with lots of couscous, rice, pasta, and bread. The salads did not have many vegetables and were mostly lettuce. After 3 cups of hot tea, a plate and a half of cold food, and forced conversation, we ran out into the Texas heat to defrost. I was so cold. I drove home without any AC on in my car and was more than comfortable. False advertising on the website, as I had planned to get a few small items off the menu. They need to fix this and be upfront.

Came in for a birthday buffet with my family. The entire place is self service and you pay up front. The restaurant has ample seating and is definitely decently popular in the area. Different from the Irving Andalous, this one is a buffet. The food was great, I always love the different hummus flavors, tabbouleh and kidney bean/chickpea salads, and I obsess over the fresh pita and falafel. For $25 per head you have a lot of options and will definitely feel full. I love that they have vegetarian and non vegetarian items separated with plenty of options.

Simple process. Walk in, pay, and you're good to go. Nice not having to chase down someone for the bill. Anyways, grab a plate and go. Nice full selection at all times. When my friend and I arrived, the buffet line was full of people. Big group in the room on the side. I was pleased with how plentiful the staff kept the food at all times. All the food was very flavorful. From the salads and dips to the sides and meats. Some favorites were the Greek Salad, Spicy Hummus, and the Coriander Potatoes. Meat-wise, I loved the Beef & Chicken Kebab, Kebab Meatballs, and Gyro Meat. Everything was very good. Would definitely recommend! Go hungry!

This Mediterranean buffet had a huge food selection, but the best part for me was the pita bread. Fresh, warm, soft and perfect for dipping. The garlic sauce was delicious, wealthy and flavorful. I appreciate their precise attention to cleanliness and considerate provision of gloves, preventing guests from handling serving utensils with bare hands. One small, mindful gesture is important. It makes a large difference. The food, service and buffet make it worth a visit.

Everything was phenomenal. The lady that was helping us was so nice. I asked for her name and she said it was Molly! Come here, hungry because you were gonna wanna try a little bit of everything.

Yesterday was the last time that my wife and I will ever go to Andalous. Prior to going we checked their website and it said that on saturdays they charged $16.99. We were charged $23.99 a piece for our meal. I didn't realize the discrepancy until after we had started eating. Because my wife had paid, and when she was doing this I was in the restroom. When I realized that they charged more than what the website said, I asked the person at the register for a refund of the difference. She said that they were in the process of updating the website, and refused to refund us the difference.

We had dinner at Andalous Mediterranean Buffet and really enjoyed it. The grilled chicken was tender and full of flavor the pasta salad was fresh and well-seasoned and the Greek salad had the perfect mix of crisp veggies and tangy dressing. There were so many great options to choose from and everything tasted fresh. The staff was friendly and kept the buffet clean and well stocked. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming making it a great spot for a casual meal. We will definitely be back.

This is a nice restaurant with fresh food, a clean environment, and beautiful interior decor. They offer most of the classic Mediterranean dishes, like hummus and kebabs, which were delicious and well-prepared. However, I felt the meat selection was a bit limited--they mainly had chicken, beef, and gyro. I was hoping to see more variety, such as lamb, salmon, or other seafood, which I typically expect at a Mediterranean restaurant. I'd consider revisiting for the lovely atmosphere, but probably not for the food alone.

Arrived at 2:15 PM on a Wednesday for the buffet. The interior was inviting and the cool room was refreshing compared to the 100 degree outside. Service was good, with fast plate pickup. However, all of the meats and chicken were very dry, and the veggie dishes were mushy. Bread was missing from the buffet for the first 15 minutes. The salads I tried were the highlight - fresh and tasty. Overall, great service and ambiance, but the buffet quality could be improved.

We ordered online for perhaps the fourth time. Until now, the food was quite good. However, we couldn't eat the food this time. The chicken kabob was too dry and the pita was hard as a rock. Hummus and dolmas were OK. Plus, the portion size was tiny. Since there are so many Middle eastern places in Richardson, we'll choose someplace else next time.

The food was amazing!! From the hummus to the rice, and the kabobs and fish. We loved it!! We went out of our way to try a new spot in a new area and no regrets. The service was kind and the food was perfect!!!

This place is amazing. I love Mediterranean cuisine and sometimes the hardest part is deciding what to get. Andalous allows you to sample all the major recipes from an awesome and well-maintained buffet. The pita bread is baked onsite and always steaming fresh, the gyro meat is delicious, the multiple hummus flavors will fill your plate before you know what hit you, and the atmosphere is anything but basic. If it wasn't for BBQ, I might say this is my favorite restaurant in Dallas.

Been going here for some time. Good service every time. Many options, especially the sides. Quite a few cold sides to pick from. Soups are good as well. The lady with the blonde hair has been there for a few years and my wife and I love her attitude and service.

Good place to eat. I frequent here very often. Kudos to Molly always upbeat and friendly.

Same great taste as their last Colinas location. I used to work in Irving and would stop by once a week! I love their spicy hummus! Their cookies and baklava selections are also great! I usually get a meat and sides during lunch for work.

This place has gone way down hill, most the food was not hot or it was not available- gyro meat was tough, falafel was hard as a rock, beef and chicken kabobs were never out. Roasted cauliflower was old and rubber.... Won't be back, charged me more than the website showed

I loved the food and the variety here especially the grilled chicken and the hummus was a must try , the pita bread was on point and I loved the desserts too. The vibe is medieval and ambiance is amazing . For food reviews follow @as.clicks on instagram

Great Mediterranean Buffet, prefer this one over Dimasi's. Better and more spacious dining area, very fresh foods. They have worthier salad options and well seasoned hot foods. Clean establishment!

I love Mediterranean food and this place I keep coming back because of their babaganoush dip ( I might have butcher the name) it's eggplant dip. It is the best and if you love hummus so much to choose from . Lamb and beef here is so tender .

We went here to have weekday lunch. Busy place with lots of locals. Their food is fresh and delicious. You need to pay first before you eat. Service Staff are kind and helpful. Lots of parking space. Clean and well decorated and lighted dining place.

Decided to come here because it was close to the hotel. We were greeted when we came in and paid for the buffet. there were a lot of options. The food was good. There were only a handful of people when we came in about 7 pm. The tables were clean and the atmosphere was nice. I'd recommend Andalous.

Outstanding!! The food is always delicioushigh quality and fresh. Definitely one of the best buffets I've ever been to.

some of the best mediterranean food i've had in while, the blond lady working up front was very helpful and sweet. 10/10 would recommend, also would like to add the tzatziki sauce is the best i've ever had.

Lots of choices!! If you like to try different foods, this is the place for you. Lots to try. Very good food. Good flavors. Great variety. The restaurant is just a big open space with tables. Lot of tables. Service was good. They kept the food hot and made sure everything was fresh. Good choice.

I went at 4 on a thursday. Picked up an order to go. I received very little food for 2 orders, about $18 a person for salad and a few pieces of chicken. Around $10 a pound. The humas had been sitting out and was not safe to eat. The flavors were good, the selection was ok, but not really something I would recommend. Might be better if not to go and at a time when food is fresher. Lady at front was rude and seemed to be bothered that she had to get off her phone to help me.

Food is always very fresh and lots of delicious selections! They now have "All U Can Eat", buffet There is also, a child's menu that is great! They do have a private dining room for large meetings and family gatherings available. Service is nice!

I've been coming here for about a month following my doctor appointments. I'm on a very strict diet and this place has so many vegetarian and even vegan options. The best part is they're all delicious. It's also a great place to bring your non-vegetarian friends too as meat options are plentiful and from what I hear delicious. It's also very clean with nice staff. Highly recommend.

Good food. Large variety. Staff was friendly and polite. Would visit again. Recommend

The dinner buffet was awesome. The best I have been to in this area. The food was fresh and delicious and had a wide variety of salads and meats and sides. The pita bread was warm and fresh out the oven.the restaurant was very clean and the service was great. I highly recommend coming here for dinner.

Wow! Great recipes! Tastes as nice and flavorful as in the finest restaurants in Beirut and Bahrain! I'm coming back!

If your rolling down MacArthur towards 114 in Irving you can drive into some amazing Mediterranean food at Andalous!! It is located in a strip mall right by a Juice spot and Indian chain store. The moment you open the door, the smell of fresh baked pita hits you. Start off with a tray, and you have the option of a couple of sides and a meat, complete with 2 pita bread. You can see the bread baking in an open oven!! The salad bar is amazing!! Greek salad, pasta salad, fattoush, 2 types of hummus, baba ghanoush, they have it all!! The side are just a fresh; potatoes, cauliflower, rice, veggies, they have it all. You could come in and have a purely veggies meal and have up to probably 40 different combinations. For the meats, they have baked chicken, grilled chicken, kabobs and my choice today; lamb shank!! It costs extra but it is worth it. My meal was fantastic. It wasn't cheap, but only because I had an extra side and lamb is "double meat". Fresh food for about $15, you can't beat it.

We had dinner at Andalous Mediterranean Buffet and had an awesome service by Molly Barbian. She is extremely very nice and knowledgeable about her work. I have been a couple of times here and she make it a very enjoyable experience to come have a nice dinner. There is a nice selection on your buffet.

We did take out recently and it was so good. You get a lot of food for the price. Everything was fresh. We will be back!

My husband and I came here around 6:30 pm on a Monday night. There were only 4 cars in the huge parking lot, so I was worried this place was not going to be good. I was totally wrong. Andalous is a great and extensive buffet with lots of veggie options. I found everything to be quite fresh and with exciting flavors. The pita bread was exceptional. I did not find a few of the meat offerings to my liking since most of the chicken was white meat and a few items were a little dry or overcooked. My husband was very pleased that the baklava had walnuts instead of pistachios. This is now my favorite buffet in Dallas. Oh, and the place got a lot busier at sunset (Ramadan).

Definitely worth a try. So many options to select from. All the salads taste great. Bread is served fresh.

We saw this place was right next to our hotel, the Wingate and since I never been to a Mediterranean buffet before in my life decided to check this out. The food is quite filling as well as I unfortunately could not eat a whole lot of food unfortunately. Also, California no buffets since covid. The buffet price was $18.95 per person for dinner and this includes drink. The selection was awesome and enjoyed the Tahini sauce and some of the hummus. I decided to try everything and sample for the meat. Here is what I loved 1. Lamb 2. Falafel 3. Gyro meat 4. Chicken thigh 5. fried wish 6. Rice pudding Here is what I did not like 1. skewer meat - ground beef 2. Curry chicken, it was dry I wish though they would help clean up the dishes more from the tables more. The food is filling as well as I only had 2 and a half dishes. But food is fresh and could definitely come here again.

So I have a couple go to Greek/Mediterranean spots. I decided to try something new tonight and couldn't be happier I did! I ordered delivery as I didn't want to get out, and the food was awesome!! Beef shawarma was great and the sides were tasty too! Pitas were both soft and crunchy, only $.55 to add??? Great dinner and my usual go tos might be seeking less of me know. Thanks for an amazing dinner!!

We came here for Iftar in Ramadan after fasting all day. The food was not fresh at all. The meat was not flavorful and super dry as well as cold. Very disappointing. Staff didn't seem to care when we offered them feedback.

This location is in Richardson near Campbell & 75. The food was excellent with the exception of the baklava & the gyro meat. The nuts in the baklava were rancid, so it was inedible. Baklava is one of the reasons I come to this restaurant, so it kind of ruined the experience for me. The gyro meat was very dry. I will not be coming back to this location. Service, the buffet was well stocked. The tables around us stayed dirty for quite sometime after the patrons had left. Ambiance- I liked the music they played, lighting was good.

Super easy to spot off the highway with convenient parking! I've had their catered food from the Arlington location before, so I knew it was going to be a great dinner! I went with a couple of my friends on a weekend evening, and I will say the selection of items is great! There are 4 different kinds of hummus, different salads, and a variety of meats and side dishes! My most favorite item is the garlic sauce!!! It goes well with everything, especially the chicken kabobs! I also enjoyed the tabbouleh, coriander potatoes, zucchini/mushrooms, and of course pita! Service was good, the staff cleared our table at a decent pace. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for good quality buffet in a casual environment! :)

Great food and ambience with great choices of salads, kabobs, veggies, dips and curries. The best items for me were the grilled items specifically the beef kababs and the gyros. The hot off the pita bread was also good.

Just got to town and we stopped at Andalous for an early dinner. Barb had been to their other location and was told to try this one. It was fantastic- so many great choices - wish I could have eaten more!

great selection of dishes for a buffet We headed here to try all of Andalous' dishes after visiting their cafeteria style location in Irving. The restaurant is spacious enough for large groups and is a buffet. We went around 3 on a Saturday afternoon, and for two people with tax, it was $47.67. To start off with, there's a large selection of dishes to choose from. From the sides, I had the hummus, and it was decent and the correct consistency and flavor. I also had the tzatziki sauce, which I felt was a little on the watery side. Coming along to the breads and rice, the pita bread is so soft, and one of the stars of this buffet. It made a great pocket for a gyro sandwich. I also tried the vermicelli rice, which was fluffy, and well seasoned. Moving along to the main dishes and meats, there's a lot to choose from. First off, you HAVE to get the red snapper. I was hesitant because I don't like fish outside, but I LOVED the red snapper. It has a slight tart aftertaste, and it's so soft. It went so well with the rice. I also really liked their gyro meat, koftas, fried fish, and chicken nuggets. The rest of the meats were good, too. I liked that they had 2-3 selection of desserts unlike other Arab buffets. Out of the desserts, I liked their rice pudding and soft serve ice cream the best. Brownie was okay, but it had a more cake-like texture. Baklava was also okay.

Pretty nice spot for all of your Mediterranean food needs! Has all the goodies from gyro, hummus, lentil soup, pita bread. Etc. All the food was real good. Highly recommend the fried fish and garlic sauce! Lamb shank is extra, but worth

Food was good, american lady in front was really sweet she deserves a raise. Great atmosphere as well would recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to eat

Interesting experience. All the salads and hummus were good. However, the lame shank I paid extra for was disgusting. It looked greenish, and had big globs of fat. I know lamb shanks are fatty, but this was just ick. Before I could get too upset about that though, I tried all the other main courses and rice they had, and they were amazing! I easily cleaned every last bite off my plate. So thanks for that! Desserts were good too.

Worth the money for sure! Decent selection. Ice cream machine was broken. Rice pudding tasted store bought but still appreciated. Buffet price includes soft drinks and dessert.

This place was fantastic. All the options were fresh, lunch crowd was busy and atmosphere was great. We loved nearly everything we tried. Not a buffet kinda guy but will definitely be back.
