Found myself nearby and was craving some good hummus and other typical Arabic dishes. I've eaten…read moremiddle-eastern food everywhere from Detroit to Dubai to Buenos Aires. I can summarize this restaurant: - Food: above average, nothing spectacular. -Staff Service: The waiter was great and attentive, nothing out of the ordinary. - Cashier/likely the owner: grumpy, didn't look like she wanted to be there. Gave me the dirty look because I added 10% of the check in tip, which all the locals told me is fair. Probably was the Lebanese owner. Mexicans can't be that grumpy. -Price: 320 pesos for a buffet, basically about the same price you'd get in the U.S. or the Emirates. All in all, I wouldn't go back because of the price and the grumpy cashier. Este restaurante necesita otro cajero! La mujer que está trabajando como un cajero estaba mala y se va como no quiera trabajar. Creo que es una mujer arabe y tal vez el dueño....No me importa. Los meseros estaban muy amables y sus servicio estuve bien. Los precios son carros, 320 pesos por comida arabe de calidad básica. Si quieres comer aquí, evita el cajero y paga tu mesero directamente.

Used to live very close to here and would come here for the BUFFET (can't remember if it's on the…read moreweekends only). For the buffet they got all kinds of Lebanese entrees: grape leaves, stuffed squash, stuffed cabbage, raw kibbeh, baked kibbeh, tabbouleh, hummus, etc. ALSO, This is a great spot for breakfast if you're visiting Viveros or even Frida Kahlo's house. They got Lebanese inspired eggs served with Lebanese jocoque (strained yogurt), spices, olives and pita bread. It was a very special flavor. The egg cazuela with poblano peppers is very tasty and has a super generous amount of cheese, it's spicy! Huevos divorciados are also a Mexican breakfast classic, served with delicious mashed beans. Coffee is very good. Prices are right, you can get the breakfast dish on its own or you can make it a combo (coffee, juice and fresh fruit included)

I was a little taco-ed out in Mexico City and craving middle eastern food. This place did NOT…read moredisappoint. I'm Persian and have traveled all over the Middle East. This food was truly identical to what you would find abroad. Fresh, delicious, and located in the heart of historic Mexico City. I didn't see any tourists which was pretty cool. I definitely recommend.

Ordered: Jarra de Café Arabe Chica (MX $75)…read morePan con Queso y Zaatar (MX $120) Pastel de Dátil (MX $100) Aya's take: Being Lebanese myself, I was pleased to hear that there was a Lebanese neighborhood in Mexico City and after hearing about the famous Date Pie aka Pastel de Dátil in a New York Times article, we decided to take a break from Mexican cuisine to try out Al Andalus. We started with the Jarra de Café Arabe which was made just right. It reminded me of Lebanon and gave me that midday caffeine kick I needed. The Pan con Queso y Zaatar was surprisingly not authentic. It was essentially just cheese with dry zaatar on the side. I was expecting it to be baked with half Cheese and half Zaatar. They essentially gave us the zaatar to sprinkle on our own. The Pastel de Dátil was rich, naturally sweet from the dates, and a bit dense. I picked up on other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom which gave it some warmth while the crust was more crunchy and nutty. Good try, overall!
