    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.

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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken Briouat with dipping sauce
    Dawn M.

    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!

The Crabby Crawdaddy Pizza at Venice Kitchen is the second-best pizza I've ever had. The only pizza I've had that ranks higher is Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza in Indianapolis. The crab and shrimp are the stars of the show. The pizza came out hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. If I had one suggestion, I'd add just a touch more seasoning to make it absolutely perfect--but even as it is, it's outstanding. I also tried the soup. It was decent, but it didn't stand out to me, so I probably wouldn't order it again. I ordered takeout, and when I arrived, they were just boxing everything up. I only waited about 3-4 minutes. The staff was friendly, and everything was hot and ready. If you're in Memphis, don't leave without trying the Crabby Crawdaddy Pizza. It's one of the best pizzas I've had anywhere in the country.

The soup was delicious loaded potato soup and the sandwich was toasted to perfection as usual. The service? We had the nicest man take our order. We began getting drinks and another worker approached us saying our order was going to take a little while longer than expected and she offered us a complimentary cake, brownie, or rice crispy treat. It was such a nice touch considering I didn't even think the wait was any more than usual. Spectacular customer service and recognition. Covid took many things away from us including the famous Newks Salad Condiment Bar. But it is BACK BABY! In all its glory with the liquid sandwich potions, bread and butter pickles, Parmesan cheese, croutons, the works. I love snacking on pickles and croutons while I wait on my meal. Ambience?

It's a nice comfortable place to sit and have lunch or dinner with a friend you haven't seen in a while, while also providing the convenience of a quick meal if that's what you need.
