Beef Couscous * Carrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini, cabbage, caramelized onions, raisins, and roasted almonds.
Eda X.

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.

Luscious, delicious (Bysar Soup).
Caveat E.

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.

Chicken Couscous
Tara H.

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.

Chicken Tangine
Anise S.

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.

Chicken tangine
Mathew S.

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.

Chicken tangine mint tea
Emma B.

Such a hidden gem. Located in an unassuming strip mall, Andalusia delivered some of the best food I've ever had Memphis. The Moroccan mint tea was sweet and warming, the chicken tagine was flavorful and hearty, everything was so fresh and high quality. We stopped by for lunch and it was pretty quiet. Our server was very friendly, she let us take our time and enjoy our tea after the meal.

Lamb Tagine
Danny N.

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.

Baklava
Ellie F.

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!

Art C.

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...

Lamb Tagine

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.

Mint Tea
Dianna S.

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.

Spinach, chicken in phyllo, Moroccan bread
Kali Y.

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.

All I can say is wow! A rare five stars on a first visit from me, for sure…read more My husband and I wanted to go somewhere just the two of us one night while we were visiting my family in Memphis. Cedars was our choice! This restaurant is easy enough to miss, tucked away in a very large shopping center. Inside, there's a large food prep area you can see through a clear partition. The menu stretches about the prep area. Employees were hard at work making plates. We were greeted and beckoned to a pedestal where we could place our order. The man who welcomed us and took our order was warm and kind. I saw him personally welcome everyone who came through the door; it seemed like he had several regulars. He was friendly and polite and engaged with everyone from adults to their children, whom he made smile with jokes and quickly served food. Service = 10/10. Hubs got the chicken shawarma plate and I got the chicken kebab plate. Each plate came with lemon and garlic potatoes, a large serving of colorful rice, a fresh salad, a few pieces of pita, a scoop of hummus, and a scoop of garlic sauce. These plates were MASSIVE and each easily could've been split between two people. Whatever price was paid - I don't even remember now - was more than worth it for the portion size and absolutely incredibly delicious food. Oh yeah, that's right...every aspect of our meal was completely delectable, fresh, and delightful in every way. The hummus was lemony, smooth, and creamy. The salad was bright, fresh, and bursting with flavor despite minimal dressing. The rice was fluffy and aromatic and just a little buttery. The potatoes had a perfect balance between their lemon and garlic flavors and were tender and warm. Lastly, the chicken...my goodness. Large chunks of chicken with a faint char from the grill, juicy, and cooked to perfection. I honestly cannot say enough about my meal. It was that good. We were treated once more with the utmost warmth and care when we paid our ticket after we ate. The gentleman who rang our order up grabbed a piece of baklava from the case and gave it to us to take home to try. It too was, of course, delicious later -- flaky, sweet, nutty, and all you'd want out of a piece of baklava. Truly a joyous experience from beginning to end. We will be back next time we're in town!

This last time, the restaurant was also very hot, as it seemed that the air conditioners were turned off and no music (that's usually on) was playing. We love the hot or iced tea and usually one of us orders Egyptian Hawashi. Their sauces are amazing to put on top of any of their dishes!

Service is strange. Server grabbed menus & started walking to table, but didn't say anything like…read more"Follow me, right this way", etc. Asked if we needed a highchair for our child, we said yes, she brought it. Came back to table and just stood there for 5-10 seconds... I'm waiting for her to ask "What would you like to drink"? And she doesn't, so I just tell her. We order falafel hummus platter, tastes great. Tea, great. I ordered lamb shish kabob. Fiancé asks for 3 chicken kabobs, no rice or veggies. Not sure if that is explicitly on the menu. Server double checked with me before submitting order, "lamb shish kabob"? I said yes. Also asked for a water. She forgot about it, and went to sit down at hostess stand. Fiancé had to get up & go ask her for it. They bring out our food, but mine is chicken, just like my fiancé's. Looks exactly the same, but with rice & veggies + 2 kabobs instead of 3. Server comes to check on us, I ask her if my plate is chicken or lamb. She says it's lamb.......... I've never seen lamb look bright like that. Once again, it looked exactly like my fiancé's chicken. So I said ok, and took a bite. Yep, it's chicken. I was pretty disappointed, I had actually brought my fiancé there because I wanted lamb shish kabobs. When she came to check on us again, my fiancé had to ask for a drink refill, which prompted her to refill my tea. I then told her my plate was definitely chicken, & I would like her to take it back. She looked confused & repeated "Take it back......?" So I confirmed & clarified, "Yes, I don't want that. You can just take it back & take it off the bill, because it's chicken, and I ordered lamb. I'm sorry, I hate to be that person." She said something about the cook having different types of meats in the kitchen and blah blah blah idk. I think she put the order in wrong. Wasn't really apologetic & didn't ask if I wanted the lamb still or not, or anything else. We were ready to go. Couldn't find her, finally she came back, I asked for check, somehow my fiancé's 3 chicken kabobs were $30. That doesn't sound right to me. But like I said, I don't think that's explicitly on the menu, so I think they charged what they wanted to makeup for my plate being refunded. Will definitely not be back unfortunately. Let me also add the first 5-10 mins we were there, 2 others tables with 2 people each. After that, we were the only table. Also, it's dead quiet. No music.
