Food is very good, it was a tad too salty last visit but normally on point. Service is solid and ambience is traditional to Moroccan style.

My sister has been raving about this place and so we attempted to come here on Memorial Day because the owner had originally told my sister that he would be open, but alas when we got there it was closed. He had just changed his hours to be closed on Mondays. We finally went today and I was relieved when the door opened. I picked one of the tables with a booth seat along the wall. The music was lively but not obnoxiously loud and put me in a good mood. Everything sounded so delicious so we ordered a few items. We ordered so many things that the owner asked if we were anticipating another person to join us. We finally settled on: (appetizers) Britoat (fried stuffed phyllo): it came with 3 and a red dipping sauce. I requested a different filling in each and thankfully he obliged without any overt repulsion to my "complicated order". One filled with chicken, another with seafood and another with vegetables. We also ordered Berber spinach which came with the fluffiest, non crumbly bread. Everything is made in house and the owner seemed taken aback that I would ask, as if all restaurants obviously make everything from scratch. Our entrees included the chicken Tagine, the Moroccan lasagna and the meatball Tagine. The chicken was the most tender piece of thigh I've ever had. It is a bit salty but just eat some bread to nullify the saltiness. The lasagna meat sauce was the best sauce of the 3 and I used the bread to mop up all of the sauce. I couldn't identify all of the spices and flavors so it was an impressive new experience here in Memphis and I really hope more people will discover this place. We ended the meal with a little flan which is made just the way I like it. We also ordered the Harrerah vegetable soup to go which made it home without spillage and some dessert for my kiddos: rghayef . They look like little phyllo dough roses soaked in honey. Although the bill was well above what I normally pay, I was completely at peace about it because I know the earthenware it's cooked and served in isn't cheap, I can't replicate it home, there was enough leftover for another meal for 2 people, everything is made from scratch, ingredients from the owner's farm, the cows are grass fed, etc. I can't wait to go back to try about 3 more dishes. read more

This restaurant has it all. The atmosphere is great, the food is phenomenal and the service is top notch. I don't normally leave reviews but after discovering this gem I had to. Do yourself a favor and come enjoy some tea and couscous! You won't regret it. read more

OMG! Hands down the BEST kept secret in the city! I don't want to tell anyone about this place, I literally want to keep it allllll to myself but I can't. The owner was great with elaborating on the menu options and our food was absolutely DIVINE. The tea presentation reflected the immaculate flavor of the tea--which was the stand out of the meal. I can literally go on and on about this place. I can't wait to go back. read more

I have never tried Moroccan food but this place has Excellent food and Attentive service. I'm a new fan!

This authentic Moroccan restaurant is so good! Memphis is lucky to have it. Everything is farm to table as the owner is huge on high quality, good-for-you food. You can tell the moment the plate hits your table. Presentation and taste are always a 10/10. My favorite dishes are the Kefta Tagine and the Chicken Pastilla! read more

Oh my gosh! This place is a hidden gem. It was totally perfect - delicious food, beautiful decor, relaxing music and impeccable service. I had couscous with lamb which was outstanding and my daughter loved the meatball dish. We started with a spinach appetizer and ended with the most mouth watering flan I have ever tasted. Topped it off with hot mint tea in a beautiful silver service. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent food! The price point is definitely more in line for dinner, but the product is absolutely worth what you pay! We went as a group of three and sampled the vegetable lasagna, kefta bocadillo, and lamb tagine. Every item was incredible, but the real star of the show is the Moroccan lasagna. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! read more

When the ice storm knocked out the power in the hotel where I was staying, Andalusia provided the best possible refuge. The lovely Hanan, who established the restaurant with her husband, explained how about 70 percent of the food they serve is organic and the mint tea is partially sweetened with honey. The tagine and Berber spinach were delicious. Andalusia is clearly a mainstay for locals, and I can see why! read more

This place WOW the owner is so friendly and the food is to die for. Have not had a bad thing here yet. Get your butt up and go try this place. You won't be disappointed I promise read more

We weren't sure what to expect, but we're so glad we tried it. Everything was good and you have to get the morrocan tea. It was a green tea with the perfect amount of honey poured from the cutest tea pot into a cup with mint leaves. Loved it so much! We had an appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert and shared all of it. Quite an experience for such an affordable price. We left full and happy. The food was delicious and the chicken on the couscous was so tender and flavorful! We will be back! read more

This place is wonderful! I've been twice so far and both times the service was attentive and friendly and the owner made great suggestions. I loved the vegetable couscous, Eggplant dip, and all of the lamb dishes! We will be so excited to go back and try more. read more

I came here on an anniversary celebration and am leaving with one of the most satisfied bellies and souls I've had in a long time. The Hareerah soup melted in my tummy with cinnamon and sweet dates, followed by main courses of couscous and lamb tagine served in earthenware pots. Homemade bread, avocado milkshakes, and flan for dessert all made the evening simply perfect. Every detail of this place, from the stenciled walls indoors to the amazing owners, makes it one of the best meals I've ever had in Memphis. read more

I absolutely loved this restaurant. I am a fan of Moroccan food since I visited the country a few years back. I am happy to see this restaurant in town. I had the vegetable tagine and it was amazing. I also had Briouat and it was also delicious. I highly recommend. read more

Excellent! Three of us decided to try the restaurant at 3:30 in the afternoon and had the whole place to ourselves. It was too hot for hot tea but I wanted to try the mint tea and they very kindly served it to us iced. It was excellent. We ordered the eggplant and spinach appetizers to share and I can't say which was better. The bread with them was delicious. We ordered a main course from each of the options and had a different protein with each. We didn't leave a bite of any of them but I am still dreaming about when I can have the lamb tangine again. The only disappointment was that they had just started making the sweets so we will have to return to try dessert (and have the lamb ) read more

Great spot and wonderful hospitality. Flavors are out of this world. Recommend Chicken Couscous.

This place is a hidden gem. The entire experience was 5 stars. I came for dinner and the ambiance was designed for you to feel transported back to Morocco. From the decor, to the lighting to the soft elegant musical strings playing in the back ground. The owner opened this restaurant a year ago and still greets and serves and chats w guests. Being new to Moroccan cuisine I asked him what he recommends and how the meal is traditionally enjoyed. He is charming to engage with and one can tell how much passion he has for his menu creations. Even the silverware are like art pieces. Cuisine is excellent. Must try. Highly recommend. read more

This lovely restaurant was an Anniversary dinner surprise for me from my sweet husband. He wanted to try someplace new for both of us and we couldn't have been more pleased with Andalusia. We had the briouet with chicken as an appetizer. My husband had the lamb tagine & I had the couscous with lamb. And we both had the hot mint tea. Jamall was a gracious host and server. We can't wait to go back and try more items from the menu. read more

Chicken skewers dry as hell and the kefta meatballs reminded me of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti O's served in a clay pot. Hard Pass

We stopped in here on a road trip looking for a good local place. The atmosphere is clean, beautiful and calming, service was friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic! The Moroccan mint tea is not to be missed. We ordered several things to share and everything was delicious. If you're in the area, stop by. You won't regret it! read more

We went for a late dinner at Andalusia the other night and were so impressed with the hospitality and quality of the food we got! Since moving to Memphis we haven't found a lot of authentic international food but that's definitely not the case with Andalusia! We're going to become regulars for sure! read more

Food is great and the owner is incredibly welcoming. Really enjoy the ambience and thankful to have this addition to the city of Memphis!

Very nicely decorated space. Really nice owner and employees. I had a Moroccan specialty, chicken pastilla. It was delicious and authentic feeling. The tagines eaten by my friends were also raved over. The eggplant dip was appreciated even by the eggplant hater in our group. We liked it so much we went back a second time with a different friend who had never had Moroccan food and she loved it. read more

First let me say the food was amazing! If you want good Moroccan food this is the place to come. There is one caveat though, it is pricey. My husband and I plus my young son split an app and each had a meal, the total was $75. It was good but I am not sure I would frequent the place at this price. read more

Great family business, great food, & great service! You can tell a lot of love and care was put into this restaurant and the food. For my first Moroccan cuisine experience, I couldn't have had it any other way. The owners took the time to chit chat a bit as I they served us so we really got to know them read more

I love Moroccan food. Really, really love Moroccan food. I've enjoyed it in cities from New York to San Francisco, from London to Spain. I've also enjoyed it in Morocco. I have to say, some of the best Moroccan food I've enjoyed outside of Morocco was last night, in East Memphis, at a new Moroccan restaurant called Andalusia. To say I highly recommend it would be an understatement. Reasonably priced. Family run. Indoor and outdoor seating (we sat outdoors). A culinary gem. read more

Service was very attentive. The lamb chops were very moist, not overdone. I really enjoyed the mint tea it was very refreshing. This is definitely a restaurant I will visit again my next time I am in East Memphis. read more

Oh. My. Goodness. The food here is absolutely amazing! The owner is the sweetest, nicest man. I highly recommend.

I read all the reviews - good and bad - and I still wanted to try for myself, even though the menu prices (as others have commented) were so high - more than I normally would spend for a meal. The negative reviews were correct about dry meat (I avoided the chicken and lamb) and fairly bland spices (I was hoping for more flavor, but knew not to expect it, so I wasn't too disappointed). My friend and I each ordered the split pea soup and hot mint tea, then split the spinach app, meatball tagine and the Moroccan specialty, seafood pastilla. The soup was good (needed salt - or to add the spicy olives that come with), and the spinach dip was ok. The bread that accompanied both items was very dry; it seemed like it was day old, not freshly baked as other reviews have stated. After viewing photos, I fully expected the small-sized meatballs, but I didn't expect them to be so dry. Maybe they're using meat that's too lean? Or, maybe all their meat is simply overcooked? IDK. But they were dry. The tomato-based sauce was good and I liked the egg (which was cooked perfectly). The seafood pastilla was good. I liked it. My friend didn't. Even though she likes fish/seafood, this was too fishy tasting for her. If you don't like fishy-smelling/-tasting seafood dishes, pass on this one. I, however, would order it again. It's light and nicely textured, but no special spice -- just the seafood & noodles. The mint tea. It's v-e-r-y sweet. I don't drink sweet tea and I could barely drink this. But I did. Because it costs $5.25! That's a LOT for a cup of tea. But, I was there for the total experience. And part of that exp'ce is the mint tea. Next time I want to try the avocado shake. I almost gave Andalusia 2 stars b/c it "could've been better." But b/c I'm willing to try it again for the pastilla and avo shake, I bumped it up a star. Maybe next time I'll be able to bump it up another star. Hopefully the restaurant takes into account the negative reviews that are consistent in their content and make some positive changes (like lowering their prices to accommodate portion size, and not over-cooking their meats) to increase their customer base. :) read more

Had the vegetable tagine. So good I have had it every since every time I come to Memphis . The bread is delicious and addicting. I wish they would move to Houston . The mint tea is also excellent . read more

Awesome and authentic Moroccan food. Place is small but makes up for it with taste and service

Andalusia is amazing! We moved from WA where we loved getting Moroccan Food and could easily get it. Now living in TN we thought we may never find a great Moroccan place around us. Well we found our Moroccan food spot for sure. Andalusia is a wonderful restaurant, great decor and service! We had the Chicken Pastilla and the Chicken Tagine and it was incredible. Our boys enjoyed everything and especially liked the Bysar Soup. I recommend this place 100%. read more

My husband and I were looking for a new restaurant to try, and I couldn't have been any happier with our experience! The hot mint tea, lemonade, lamb tagine, and beef tagine were all incredible. By far the best restaurant meal we've had in a while. The service was also fantastic. The owner, Jamal, took great care of all the guests. It was worth every penny. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Was so wonderful. The decor was exquisite with hand painted walls. Very beautiful and comfortable. Food was very flavorful. We had kefta tagine, chicken tagine and Berber chicken kabobs with rice. Very good. Owner /server was very kind and hospitable. Definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

My boyfriend and I went for dinner tonight and everything was absolutely wonderful! We got Briouat for an appetizer, delicious. I got the Chicken Tagine and it was perfectly cooked.

Love this place, iced mint tea is my favorite. Lasagna, kabobs, Briouat are all amazing. Can't wait to try more, make sure to ask for the bread! read more

Our first visit tonight. The service was a little slow at first, as they appeared short staffed. However, our server was cordial and attentive, assisting us with the menu. The appetizers, entrees and mint tea were all very fresh and flavorful. These were flavors and combinations of spices that I have not had before. We will definitely go back. read more
