Great food here! I had the Moroccan lasagna, and it was wonderful! Lots of filling, lots of cheese & noodles, lots of food. My wife and daughter had the chicken pastilla. The cinnamon was wonderful and this could have been a desert! The lemonade was good and the ladies loved the tea! Definitely worth the stop! read more

Triple crown. Great food, service and atmosphere. Can't say enough about the experience at this restaurant. We were staying in the nearby hotel and wandered over. What a find. I would have paid 30 bucks for the tea. Mint, sweetened, yumminess. Come, eat, send me a thank you. read more

Stepped into Andalusia for highly rated Moroccan fare, and I can see why. The server was very friendly and welcoming. I recommend trying their couscous dish, but be prepared to wait a while. The lamb dish requires an hour wait. The beef couscous was delicious! The zucchini, carrots, sautéed onions, dates and roasted almonds were a delectable meal. read more

Bottom Line: This place is for you if you love a new, non- American fare, culturally authentic, food experience--that may make you a regular. Not for you if you don't. You could easily, to your detriment, overlook this understated place. It has simple, calming ambience augmented by the cultural background music and decoration. Though very simple in the environmental approach, background music and imagery create a soothing, quiet, intimate "dining" setting versus a place where you just get something to eat. Our server/owner was very courteous and efficient. I was looking for a lighter lunch so opted for the Bysar Soup--beautifully presented but, more importantly, delivered on its promise--luscious, silky, delicious. It was simply complemented making it a satisfying meal. The "experience", and I would categorize it as that, was wholly satisfying and at a very reasonable price--a very nice change from being gouged for mediocrity, and the reason for the extra star from me. I would definitely return. read more

I'm a little confused why this place was totally dead when my husband and I dined for lunch on a Tuesday at prime lunch time. Upon walking in, we were the only ones there. We were there about 45 minutes and only one other person came in to dine. The atmosphere is beautiful. I enjoyed the screen that displayed a video of Morocco. The food took a little long to come out, but it was worth it. This was mine and my husband's first time eating Moroccan so I don't have much to judge on, but in my opinion, the meals here were very delicious. I got the chicken couscous. I was not expecting it to have a sweeter flavor due to it having raisins. So that was a delightful change of taste. The veggies were cooked all the way through. The chicken needed more flavor to pair better with the raisins. My husband got the Kefta Tagine and it reminded us of an Italian dish. It was good, but the flavors just didn't surprise us as much as my dish did. If you are looking for something on the safer side of flavors, get the Keft Tagine. We'll be back to venture outside the box and try some lamb or that lasagna. read more

Do not be fooled by the humble strip mall setting. This place puts out some of the most delicious food I've ever had anywhere (and I've been lot's of places and tried lots of fabulous food). Every bite of the chicken pastilla makes me close my eyes and marvel at the savory sweetness of it. It might just be my favorite bite ever! The tagines and couscous are delicious. I haven't ordered anything I didn't like, and my husband and I have eaten or ordered from Andalusia at least a dozen times since we discovered it a couple months ago. Don't sit there. If you haven't tried Moroccan cuisine (or even if you have, but you haven't tried Andulasia), get up and go right now! They're also available for delivery. read more

The restaurant is very clean, spacious and inviting. The seats were really comfy which is something! The AC wasn't working well and despite the multiple fans running, it was still quite humid. We were tended to quickly with friendly servers. Not pictured is the appetizer of veggies in phyllo which I enjoyed but my husband did not. He felt it was too salty and we would've liked to have gotten 4 instead of 3 per serving - just something to keep in mind if you're sharing apps. The chicken tangine had the most flavorful broth I've tasted in a while but without it, the dish wouldn't have had much flavor. But it was beautifully served! The chicken couscous was not flavorful. My husband said the only thing about the dish he enjoyed were the caramelized onions and raisins. I am grateful to have a variety of cuisines to try in Memphis, and while we did not enjoy our meals enough to return, I would still recommend this place to others. read more

I visited Andalusia for dinner on a weekday. It was about half full at 6pm. It is well decorated and looks to be family owned. I ordered the lamb tagine. It was very authentic and came with a very good bread. It tasted home cooked and healthy. This is a very nice local restaurant. read more

Andalusia - Lamb Tagine - Moroccan Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Andalusia is a great place for date night, or a healthy lunch or dinner! We got the hot tea with fresh mint leaves, which was a nice treat to start the meal. My favorite part of the experience is when they bring the tagines, which are like clay pots, and uncover the food to reveal your meal. It felt like special treatment. Moroccan food feels healthy yet filling, with a variety of meats to choose from. I recommend getting one of the tagines! read more

Hot summer night, we decided to try Andalusia after a very positive write up in the Daily Memphian. Immediately greeted by the young man who was the front of the house and gave our choice of where to sit. There was only one other party, so we went to the middle and took a two top. The seating was remarkably comfortable- the chairs had lots of cushion. Quickly given menus and some water- the service was top notch even when business picked up a bit. I kind of felt like I was eating just after sundown at a bazaar somewhere desert adjacent. The dark ceiling tiles and the breeze created by the ceiling fans was, actually, really pleasant. Menus perused, we went with two apps and two entrees. You'll notice no picks of the phyllo dough chicken things because I devoured them before taking pictures- they were fantastic in their savoriness with a curious/sneaky touch of sweet (cinnamon?). Anyway, best thing we had. Presented with a mild harissa sauce (and meaning spicy, harissa packs a punch to my experience). The kefta, with a wonderful presentation, was my pick. Top tip- if you get this WAIT FIVE MINUTES before you indulge. Yes, it's going to smell fantastic. Yes, the brand can be used to sop up the stuff the meatball are smothered in. Yes, they say patience is a virtue. NO, the 'reverse blow' technique does not work to make this piping hot dish instantly edible. If you do wait, you'll get layers of spicy, what all I don't know, but cardamom(?), definitely paprika, definitely cumin. Eggs compliment and offer an interesting depth to the dish. The chicken tangine was better. Moroccan couscous, sweet potatoes, carrots, red onions, cucumbers, chicken, all spices very well, with the onions playing a sweet note in the ensemble. A date here or there, it's a cascade of flavor. The bread was very good, nice crust, dense but airy. The spinach was a decent app, nice garlic notes and Kalamata olives. All in all, it's a solid option. Not life changing, not eye opening, but good variation on hard to find cuisine in Memphis. It's just shy of a 3.5 star rating, and maybe that will change. Will be back. read more

I stopped in based on feedback from other people posting on yelp for a late lunch as an out-of-towner. Previous reviews talked about how the place was absolutely empty, and I am amazed with how delicious the food is and how clean the restaurant is that it wasn't busier. I was in there with one other individual. My only thought is that maybe it's the location, but it definitely is not the quality of the food. I had the lamb tagine and bread. The lamb was tender and cooked perfectly, and the fresh vegetables in the stew were absolutely delicious. read more

Very impressed by Andalusia - from the decor, music, service, and food. Everything hit the spot on our first visit. I was impressed that my team was able to get a table so quickly during lunch, and I would definitely be back to try more of their menu. Fan favorites were the chicken couscous (~$20) pairing with the mint tea. The staff was friendly, suggested items for visitors, and they definitely do not skimp on the portion sizes! Will definitely be back next time I am in the area for work or visiting friends. read more

This was our third time trying to eat here (I think the first two times they were experiencing AC issues). We got in! Finally... The food is delicious. It's like someone's Moroccan grandmom is back in the kitchen, making food just for you. No lie... That's what this food tastes like. I just love the breads and the savory pastries. There's nothing like it. We're not familiar with this type of food, but we're familiar with excellent taste. And this place has it. Friendly service and nice ambiance as well. It's on our list. Not to be missed... read more

This was my first time having Moroccan food, and I will say I was hesitant at first, but it did NOT disappoint!! This is the restaurant you want on repeat. It's conveniently located near a theater, making it the perfect before--or after-movie dinner location. The ambiance is quiet, allowing for great conversation with friends and family. The wait staff was very attentive, and I would return for that impeccable service alone! We ordered the Moroccan Hot Tea with Mint to start, and WOW. It was sweet with honey and warm, and the presentation was elegant. As an appetizer, we had Briouat, a small triangular-shaped flaky pastry with your choice of filling (we opted for chicken). This is a must! I had the Moroccan Lasagna, which was a large portion and could have been shared by 2 (I took my leftovers to go, and it was even better the next day). It is delivered in a traditional cast iron skillet with homemade meat sauce (AHHH-mazing). Others opted for the beautifully presented Lamb Shank and raved about it (they had NO leftovers). I WHOLEheartedly recommend you try this establishment. I'll see you there! read more

First off, don't let the 3 starts put you off. This place has the BEST FLAN I've ever tasted. This includes trying out custard cremes from London and Paris and flans from Mexico City. The taste is complex, mixing the vanilla syrup with hints of coffee and the texture is absolute perfection. However, the other dishes were very lacking. The bread fell flat. When it came out warm, it smelled delicious but it had no flavor. The chicken in phyllo was just okay. The spinach I could have done without. And the meatballs in the tagine was dry and flavorless. Service and ambience was nice. I wouldn't come back for the food, but I'll come back for the flan. read more

Great place to try on a whim last Tuesday evening. Went to check out Holiday Lights at the Memphis Botanic Gardens and searched for a great place to dine that evening in the area. I was happily surprised and impressed with the dishes we ordered. The owner recommended a yummy appetizer that was seasoned very well. My aunt and I ate two of the Briouat before I could snap a picture. The dish was wonderful. For our entrees, my aunt ordered Lamb Tagine and I had Couscous with Chicken. Both dishes were delicious and seasoned with different spices and flavors. My dish had raisins with caramelized onions, vegetables, couscous and chicken. We shared some bites of our dishes. My aunt ordered mint tea presented with a beautiful cup and serving set. There is ample parking at this location. Our server was Jamal. He had impeccable customer service skills and checked on us frequently. The inside of the restaurant is decorated to show the Moroccan culture. The decor is very pretty and warm. We will return again soon. read more

Andalusia is a 10/10 for me! The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. The briouat was very reminiscent of a samosa, but it was so much more flaky and the red tomato sauce complimented the dish so nicely. The Moroccan lasagna was an A+. Opposed to traditional lasagna, this dish has peas and onion incorporated into the sauce that is cooked and served in a beautiful cast iron. Home run for me! read more

I ordered the vegetarian tagine. It came way way too too hot to eat so I added ice from my water to cool it before I could even eat it. It was full of plenty of vegetables but lacked flavor. I've eaten Moroccan before at different places and had really enjoyed it so hoping if I come back here I'll try the sandwiches instead. The server was inattentive and I needed to walk to the cash register to find him playing with his phone behind the register to get more water and the bill. I just figure he's new and learning and maybe I just had a bad order read more

WOW! this place is a hidden gem, and I can't believe we're only finding it now! we didn't really know much about Moroccan food, but we had a gift card given to us, so came to try it out for dinner... and oh, what a treat it was! first, this is literally the only source for 100% true Moroccan cuisine in the whole Memphis metro area. anyone else is a mishmash of Middle Eastern foods, but not truly representative. this is a small, family-owned and operated restaurant... and they're all 100% Moroccan! I believe the restaurant owner may also be the one actually cooking all the amazing food. we were delighted to see their menu with descriptions like "free range" , "grass-fed" , and "wild caught". I asked about it, and turns out the same family actually owns the local farm nearby from which they source all of their high quality meats. as for dinner, we kicked off with an appetizer of savory Moroccan pastries called Briouat. didn't really have any context for this ahead of time, but it was a delightful, truly appetizer size portion of three tasty treats. you can see my photos and how it's described on the menu for more :-) for dinner, we tried the Kefta Tagine (Moroccan beef meatballs) and Lamb Tagine. both were served in lovely, traditional Moroccan earthenware, and both were delightful tastes and experiences. we even sprung for dessert, and really enjoyed the homemade flan with a savory Moroccan flair, and the Moroccan Sweets - which I can only describe kind of like three cookies, but almost entirely made of nuts. again, see the photos I posted here, and you just have to experience it to really understand it. really tasty, and sweet but not over the top sugary diabetes inducing sweet like some desserts can often be. a couple of small cautions to be mindful of I guess: first, the portion sizes aren't American size, meaning the appetizer is truly simply an appetizer... clearly meant to appetize you for the meal ahead, and do not not a meal by itself like most American restaurants. and I guess you could say the desserts are smallish by most American restaurant standards too, but we found them just perfect as a sweet treat to finish the meal. so, it's worth noting that, the restaurant doesn't serve any alcohol at this point, so no beer, wine, cocktails or anything else like that. so if that's an important part of any meal for you, then bear that in mind. bottom line, we both went as curious newbies, and left enthusiastic super fans! :-) read more

Passing through on a road trip and were looking for something different and not too far off the Interstate and popped in here. It was really outstanding. It's a quiet little spot in a shopping center next to a Doubletree and a Kroger, with adequate parking. Table service, with some outside seating available. The service was excellent and the food was too. I had the chicken couscous and it was absolutely delicious - a wonderful blend of spices and textures. read more

Stellar experience. Food, service, ambience- it was all on point. The spinach appetizer was my star of the night. The preserved lemon incorporated just made spinach puree sing. Eggplant also good, but I will order the spinach every time. Tagines are all delicious and the star dishes- good cuts of meat in some delish gravy with the sweet fruit contrast Moroccan cooking does so well. Served at your table in the clay tagine. Beef tagine stewed with apricots and prunes, finished with hard boiled eggs and almonds. DELICIOUS. Portions are spot on. No one left with leftovers, but no one hungry. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday after church. They hadn't been open for too long and we lucked out and had the entire restaurant to ourselves. That meant that we got service from the owner, which was impeccable, and he was happy to share details about Moroccan food and culture, as well as, teaching us about his farm-to-table philosophy. I ordered the Chicken Cous Cous and hubby had the Kefta Bocadillo. Before our meals came out, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to enjoy a fresh cup of Moroccan coffee. I sipped it throughout my meal and will definitely return, if only for the coffee. Our meal was phenomenal. I've avoided cous cous in other situations and asked for my dish without raisins - because I have thing with textures - but the owner advised me to try it as it was and take the risk. And I'm so glad that I did! I've never had a dish so varied in natural flavors. It's absolutely worth another visit...and another...and another...and... read more

Came here with just my girls on a Thursday night around 6pm. It kind of seems like it was a 1 man show. He pretty much was the host, waiter and chef.

Wow, really - Wow. We stopped in for a family celebration and since we enjoy Mediterranean food, hoped the menu at Andalusia would be a nice change. Truly, the gentleman who served us, the blends of flavors, and reasonable pricing were all pleasant surprises. Granted - we were expecting "ok, not bad, 2 or 3 of the 5 of us would find something they like". Everyone (ranging in ages 15, early 20's and about 50ish) found something good. I also appreciate the menu is genuine Moroccan but not intimidating. Coucous is a great start for the less adventurous but the meets cooked in the pot were like a family stew recipe taken up a notch. read more

I stopped by Andalusia with my family this week. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised by the quality and authenticity of our food; and the friendliness and hospitality of our server. For beverages we enjoyed the delicious mint tea, for appetizers the tasty briouat and eggplant puree, and for entrees the beef and kefta tajine and the lamb couscous. Every single item was fantastically presented and was uniquely tasty. Additionally, the interior was well decorated and cozy. I can't wait to come back for more! read more

We have eaten here several times in the last six months. Jamal Romani and his wife Hanan Boukhari make incredible, authentic Moroccan food. Their restaurant was recently profiled in the Fall 2022 issue of "Edible Memphis" and details just how much love and planning they place in preparing their recipes. Some of the ingredients come from Jamal's father's farm in Mississippi. The restaurant has a closing period between meals, so I highly advise you call first to verify their hours! Some of the websites need to update their proper hours, but this is a systemwide/pandemic-related isssue. Trust me, be patient as it is worth it to sit inside the cozy restaurant and eat out of the terra cotta. There are also several tables outside for al fresco dining. We have ordered the eggplant puree, salad, vegetable tagine, and vegetable couscous. The couscous has a sweeter flavor base. The tagine has rich, hearty herbs and spices. The tea is also lovely and on the sweeter side (honey). The bread is pillowy and perfect. We hope Andalusia stays in Memphis for years to come. Thank you for being here! read more
