Andie's is the best restaurant in Andersonville. I used to go there when it was just a little hole in the wall. At that time, Reza's next door was always more popular because it was a big beautiful restaurant. But Andie's food was always much better. Since the expansion, the restaurant is double the size and stunning. It has the best Middle Eastern Food around and if you are a vegetarian, there are many delicious choices here. The vegetarian plate is awesome. The owner, Andie, is a fantastic and gracious person. My favorite items: hummus, dolma, lentil soup, felafel sandwich, red pepper haresa, and don't forget to end your meal with a turkish coffee! read more

Andies on Clark is a very spacious location, kind of feels like your eating in a park with all the people around (it's always packed). Regardless how packed it is they have more then enough staff running around.....just not helping any tables. Service here is almost non-existent which everybody can agree on. The decor is colorful inside and out, very casual, and they generally keep the doors/windows open to enjoy the summer air. I really wanted to love Andies (you know support your area and all) but meh, I've had much better Mediterranean in other places. It's not to say the food is horrible because it all was quite tasty but nothing like wow! The hummus was ok but could have been fresher, the chicken kabob and Basmati rice are good. I would go back to try again or maybe delivery but when there are better places around it might be awhile. Just a tip check the website for coupons http://www.andiesres.com/coupon.htm read more

Eaten there many times. Always good. When you are running out of options for dinner and it's getting late you can rely on the Greeks to give you a great hearty meal with all the trimings. I also had a wonderful flight of red wine there as well. Great service, great food, nice atmosphere. read more

Had lunch here today with co-workers and all and all it was a good experience! I'm not going to label it as my "FAVORITE GREEK RESTAURANT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVA".. but surely it will do little gyro. It will do. Restaurant is elegant enough, especially for the cheap price point, and they serve the table endless warm and fresh pita bread. #Winning. What I'd recommend: Their Kunda Cabernet - Sweeter, but good. Flaming Cheese - because you may be a toolbag if you do not order this every time you do Greek! Cheese on fire with a server screaming "OPA!"? Yes please! Gyro Special Plate - but yee gawd remember to ask for pita bread as it DOES NOT come with it automatically! Big portion and yummy! Rice is amazing! Enough to take home for later. Hummus appetizer or side with pita - because yes. Final Verdict: Let's get Greek-style wasted! read more

On 3/08/2015, we were walking around Andersonville and came across this place. We decided, "why not" and went in! We were ever so happy that we did. As we walked in and was greeted by the nicest gentleman who escorted us to our table. We had a look at the menu but decided on the Sunday Brunch, and were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the service was way above par, everything was clean, including the restrooms. I can't wait go back and experience the menu. Thank you Andies for an amazing brunch experience! OPA! read more

We made reservations to enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner here. All I can say was big mistake, and never again....not even for a non-holiday dinner. We walked in and they did not have our reservation on file, come to find out they had it listed under the first name and not the last name. Really??? OK, things happen, but it should have given me a sign of things not going well. The waiter Derrick was great, I will say that the service was good. The dinner from a prix fixe menu included turkey, stuffing, green beans, sweet or mashed potatoes with cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. We started with butternut squash soup for my partner and a salad for myself. Both of these starters were really good, they also provided pita bread, complimentary, however if you wanted hummus to go with the bread, this is extra. This is a Mediterranean restaurant, this should be complimentary as well.....oh well...lesson learned. The turkey dinner came, and it was lackluster to say the least. The turkey was ok, but it was overwhelmingly dark meat. The mashed potatoes actually had raw pieces of potato inside, and there was no gravy on the potatoes either! Really??? The stuffing was ok, nothing to write home about. I did take a bite of something in the meal, thinking it was part of the dressing, and it was sprig of a seasoning bunch, which promptly got caught in my throat, I could not get this down and I began to choke. Very alarming. The manager did come to our table, and when we had spoken of all of the issues we were experiencing, and he did provide us with another serving of white meat turkey, as well as potatoes with gravy, however, there was yet another chunk of raw potato in the mashed....this is not acceptable. We found the staff to be accommodating , save for the hostess station, but with all the issues we had, we were really disappointed, and we will not be back. read more

"REMEMBERING = SALIVATING" Everything was excellent! I had the best martini that I have ever had, in my entire life. The food was great too. The chicken kebabs were moist and full of flavor, the hummus was perfect, the falafal was amazing and the dolma was superb. Prices were great, and they deliver.... to my neighborhood! read more

Not only does this place have excellent chow but it actually allows our four legged friends! They kept the warm pitas coming on our table and I and the little doggie were in bliss! The spinach strudel was defiantly worth brawling over with the BF for and the Mediterranean pasta was delicious. All in all...I know me and the pup went home content! =/ read more

Decided to give Andie's a second shot, and glad that I did. Two of us hit up Andie's before heading to movies this evening. There was no wait, as usual, and the hostess/server were both very nice and polite! Yay for great service! Drink: Red wine--Horrible glassware. In fact, I hated the glassware for the water as well, and not too fond of the silverware either. The redeeming part was the cute corked glass bottle of water they left at the table. Food: --Baba Ganoush = Great! This was the first time I had ever had it and was surprised. I know it could have been better and will now try this elsewhere, but a great starter! --Lobster Ravioli = Good. The ravioli wasn't all cooked the same, so that was a turn off. The sauce, however, was filling and very light. The dish was garnished with bits of green beans that were a great surprise and cooked perfectly!! --Chicken biryani with steak tenderloin, fig, raisin and veggies = AMAZING!! This dish was a special for the evening and not on the regular menu, but Lordy it should be a regular!! This dish had the best flavor, consistency, ingredients, spice, blah blah blah. It was fantastic!!!! Please order this dish because you will NOT be disappointed! Great meal, I only wish my dish lived up to the biryani! read more

I have been to Andy's 3 different times now and each experience was very differening, but overall I would say I like it a lot. The first time I went was with my friend Liz. The only thing that I really remember from that particular time was that when they brought me the bill, rather than charging my debit card $32, they charged it $3200. It all got sorted out, and despite that I still very much like the place. The second time was for my birthday after a Cubs game; I was pretty enebreated (sp?) so I don't really remember much about what I hate, but I was there with family and friends so I had a good time. Andy's is right next door to Reza's which is another VERY good mediterranean restaurant, however, I feel that Andy's menu is much more expansive. They also have a healthy and vegan/veg portion of the menu (albeit I didn't order from that last night) which I think is very helpful. They honestly have everything. My cousins, aunt and I all had a hard time landing on exactly it was that we wanted to eat because there was so much to choose from and everything sounded so delicious. My one cousin who was not exactly ecstatic to eat there because she has very particular tastes and doesn't like anything non-American, actually found something and she seemed to like it. What I love is that they put warm pita on the table and I don't know what it is about their pita, but it's very fresh and delicious. Honest to God, I think I had like 5. For appetizers we got calamari (which was fabulous, however, I thought the sauce that it came with was a bit too spicy), and hummos. Honestly, their hummos was not the best that I have ever tried. As my cousin and I acknowledged it needed something more. I honestly hought a bit of salt would have done the trick, but she mentioned that some garlic would have been fabulous; it was quite a bit bland. One of my cousins, my aunt and I got a bottle of sauvignon blanc, which was good, but coulda been a bit colder. My other cousin got a pomegrante martini which she appeared to like, as she got another and remarked how strong the second one was. For dinner, we all got something different. I had wanted to get the grilled salmon, but they accidentally brought me the wrong dish, but it was still good. It had salmon, shrimp, mashed potatoes, and a dill sauce on top. A little heavier than I would like to eat, but nonetheless it was still good. Two of my cousin got their combination vegetarian plates with which they got to choose what they wanted. They got some classic favorites like: spinich pie, dolmas, falafel, coucous, potato pie, dill rice, etc. My one cousin let me try all of hers and they were all delicious, but not the best I've ever had. My aunt got lamb kabobs, which she said were perfect: very tender and delicious. Then my cousin who is not that into international cuisine got a stuffed chicken breast and from everything I could tell appeared to like it. For me the best part, despite my aunts remark that my stomach had expanded, was dessert. Between the 5 of us we got 3 different desserts. We had the classic baklava, which was very good. This was the first time I had had it where I could tasted cinnamon and it was quite tasty. We got a chocolate mousse which was really good even though I don't normally like my chocolate like that. The best though had to be my choice, the chocolate peanut butter pie a la mode (that part we requested). It honestly tasted like a gigantic Reese's Peanut Butter cup -- absolutely fabulous and I would have liked to have had that one all to myself. We sat out side despite there being five of us, on a very nice night. Andersonville, in that area, can get very hectic, especially on a Saturday night. The one thing that my aunt remarked on as to why she liked this place so much is that they always check up on you to make sure you're enjoying everything! It was a great time, however, I think I liked it more because I was there with my cousins and aunt. read more

Along with Victoria, I would give 3.5 star rating. Their food is pretty delicious and full of flavors. It's not just the average Greek or Mediterranean place but has more Lebanese influence. Their Schwerma is great, along with my marinated chicken breast with red sauce and mixed vegetables (sorry, I don't remember the name). Oh and be sure to get your Dill Basmati Rice, yum! The high-ish prices and lack of decor make it lose a star yet the service made up for it. When it's nice out, I could escape the interior decoration by sitting out on their outside sidewalk eating area. To put a cherry on top, the Turkish coffee set is adorable and their desserts look delectable. I may come back here but I mainly tried it because of their Entertainment Book coupon ($10 savings baby!). If you're looking to save other ways, they offer 10% off your first online order & will give you a coupon for 20% your next visit (at least our waiter did)... read more

I guess there's a reason why places do restaurant dot com....they just aren't all that great. I've purchased a lot of $25 for $2 coupons and for the most part, have been either moderately satisfied or downright disappointed. Here's another example of the latter...though there is a major caveat for Andies, and that is the outstanding service we received from the owner's Son who was the floor manager the night we came...if i'm honest, it actually pains me a bit to give the place a 2 star b/c he was so genuinely nice and gracious about the whole ordeal. Aesthetically, the place is a bit contrived but still maintains a comfortable charm about itself. The complimentary pita bread was decent, not warm iirc and tasted pretty pedestrian. Chose the $12 Pinot Noir wine flight which came with 3 wines - about a 3-4 oz pour each. The wines were Alice White ($7 bottle at the store?) and two others I recognized name-wise but can't recall right now...not bad but would stick to a glass of my choice if done again. The main courses were where things went downhill. She chose the Lamb Kabob which was listed as "20 inches" (insert phallic joke here) but came out with a meager four pieces of lamb which were dry, somewhat fatty and definitely not flavorful. When we asked our server about the 20 inch claim he stated that the veggies betwixt the lamb counted as well.....lolz, fine. It came with Basmati Dill Rice and even that was dry, seemingly undercooked and overall just pretty bad. I ordered the shrimp and salmon which came with a white wine sauce (overly rich) on a bed of mashed potatoes (reminiscent of Uni dorm room boxed style). The worst part though ?? The Salmon was bad...and I mean like irrefutably and literally. The Salmon was outdated and left the worst aftertaste after the first bite. Starving, I ate the shrimp (decent) and put the salmon to the side. We mentioned this to our server and he summons the manager who quickly addressed the issue by 1. giving us a full Steak Kabob with Veggies and rice 2. two orders of some of the best tasting Baklava i've ever had 3. a complimentary entree upon next visit and finally 4. (and the best part, as even average to bad food for free is, well, still average or bad,right?) was his honest to goodness sincerity about our negative experience. The guy was born for the restaurant industry imo as this is something that not may can pull off, he basically made a pretty bad dining experience seem like an afterthought to his good natured personality in empathizing with our situation. read more

I have ordered food from them once and dined in twice. All three times I have been very happy with the food. It is always very yummy. The only thing I don't like is that there is a lot of food with dill. I hate dill! This is not usually a problem except that I forget that their saganaki has dill on it, and lots of it. On the menu it does not state that the cheese is covered in dill either. And one of these days when I go into the restaurant I will remember to tell them no dill. Other than that its great. I love their pita and I love even more that if you eat all of the pita in one basket they will give you more. The first time we dined in they sat us at a table that was very close to other tables and one of the tables next to us was an old couple that loved to complain about their indigestion so needless to say that wasn't the best dining experience. The last time we went we sat towards the back and had no one close to us. This made for a much better experience. Had I reviewed it after the first experience though I probably would've given it one less star. read more

I like this restaurant a lot. It has kind of become our go to place. The food is really nice and the staff is very friendly. I love their lamb and salmon dishes. Even the baklava is awesome read more

4 1/2 stars. A new fan for a few reasons - during the Andersonville Midsommarfest, Andies' bathroom (while only two stalls) was a welcoming sight after the overflowing port-o-lets. A friend and I stopped by and were quite taken with the sangria, although we also got a table outside, enjoyed sightseeing, and delicious pitas with a lot of hummus. It wasn't the best hummus ever, but it was very good (although I wished there had been more peppers, onion pieces, vegetables, etc. I like it when the hummus is jazzed up a bit. The restaurant itself is very open, always a plus. Huge windows that also open in the front results in an outstanding summer dining/drinking experience. The service was a little bit off - but in their defense, it was very busy. I would have liked my water to have been refilled though.... Don't need a lot, but I do enjoy my water. read more

I have enjoyed this place every time I've gone in. Maybe it's the warm pita sitting on the table begging me to sit down... I just get a good feeling when I'm in there. I've always had very attentive servers and the portions are pretty large. I'm a big fan of hummus and their's is good. I love the lentil soup and I'm not traditionally a lentil girl. I've had large salads and a couple of the chicken options - it's always good. I've never had to wait long for a table even though the place seems fairly busy every time I'm there. Pretty casual atmosphere with lots of tables, but it never seems too loud to have a conversation over dinner. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant - especially on a cold Chicago evening when you're craving a little lentil soup. read more

I've been here twice and had chicken both times. My only complaint is that the chicken was a bit dry both times. Everything else was GREAT though. I sampled the dishes of the people I was with and they were all quite tasty. I also had the best pomegranate mojito there... that made my night! Good service too. I've never had to wait to be seated and the waiters are quick and friendly. read more

I admit - I'm not that cultured or adventurous. This was my first time at a Greek Restaurant. Usually Greek salad and gyros are about as far as I go - but I went out on a limb and got stuffed artichokes. Loved it! I ordered couscous as my side, I didn't want the carbs and figured that since I don't like couscous I wouldn't eat it. Well, apparently I do like couscous! I liked the seasoning anyway. I started with a greek salad and our group shared the dip combo platter - the pita bread was fresh and warm. My favorite was the roasted red pepper dip. I had so much to start, I could only eat one artichoke - so I left with leftovers. Unfortunately, service was horrible. Other people had their meals who were seated after us, before we even ordered our meals. read more

Andie's looks like a happy place - right from the whimsy painted walls at the entrance to the outdoor seating in summer. I've been here about three or four times now. But they get only three stars from me because of the service. VERY SLOW. The waiters amble about and sometimes you feel like you're at an invisible table! That said, I simply love the yogurt-sauce they bring along with your starter pitas. Yum. Ask for it, sometimes they just bring the pita alone. I've heard good things about the brunch on weekends, but when I went there once it was more of meat dishes, and ~20$ seemed a bit pricey for me to be just nibbling on the few veggie options. My must try dish at the place: Lovely crepes. The menu might read strange combinations, but try them. They are indeed tasty. read more

I am addicted to the sangria here, in my opinion it's the best in the city! We tend to come every couple weeks, score a spot on the patio and enjoy a couple pitchers with some pita and hummus and/or tzatziki. I've ordered take out from here and remember it being good, but can't really comment further on the food. But who cares about food when there's SANGRIA! Amiright?? I've seen complaints about the service, but have never experienced anything negative. They are totally fine with us setting up shop and enjoying some drinks and snacks. Andie's is definitely a neigborhood favorite. read more

EVERYTIME, (numerous), that my family & I have gone to Andies restaurant on Clark street, chicago, the food, the service, and the ambience has been 1st class!!! Even the beer is delicious. I specifically LOVE their blackened salmon dish!! read more

Okay. So. I'm sure this place is great. But lemme tell you Ladies, there was something amiss the night I went with a date of mine. Now I know what you're thinking (It wasn't that kind of date! ). But my friend does know wine rather well, and was excited for their "half off bottle wine night"! So we were hoping to get a bottle or two and pick on some appetizers. Snack, sip, and chat! You know me: Holly! Well they bring the wine list, and its not stunning, but its sufficient. After some debate we finally agree on a wine. Turns out they don't have it. So we start looking again, after ordering our apps. We got some Melted cheese, it was QUITE the presentation. Afraid I was gonna get boiling oil in my face. The man who did the trick was the busser(??) Anyway, the cheese was tasty for 15 seconds, but then it becomes hard to eat stringy. Not great "date food". Turns out, again, they dont have our wine. But! The server (Who, bless her heart, was doing her VERY best to make sure we had a good experience) offered us a free wine tasting of their available bottles! She was knowledgeable and had a heavy pour (+bonus points!) But, the remaining wines didn't "wow" my date. We decided to forgo the wine; thanking the server so much for the wine tasting (which, to clarify, we did not request) In about 90 seconds everything was cleared off the table and the check was dropped. The Busser/flaming cheese presenter was significantly less kind to us too. They even took our water, and water glasses. In a huff! Very confused. Won't be coming back here, but dont let my experience sway you. May have been a full moon you never know!! read more

I found this place on some specials site. It advertised half-priced sangria pitchers on Wednesdays, so my boyfriend and I FLEW THERE because we're suckers for a good sangria deal (two words: Carlo Rossi). When the pitcher got there, it was more like a jug and I was disappointed. But then I drank it. It tasted fruity n' full, and I was an enjoyable drunk by glass #2. Maybe 1 1/2. It was their food that put me over the edge. Their lamb is the way lamb should always be: slightly greasy, shaved off of a spit, and full of herbs n' spices. For the price, it's definitely worth it. And their rice is tasty, too. It's great for a date night. The lighting is nice n' dim for a romantic time, but bring a pen because there's butcher paper on the tables! Anyhoo, this place is awesome. Go on a Wednesday for half-price sangria pitchers and order something with lamb. Now off you go. read more

Eh, food was okay, nothing spectacular. Service is fine, ambiance is nothing memorable. The baba ghanoush was super oily and the pita bread was cold. Our entrees weren't bad but were nothing impressive. I will admit though the sangria was pretty tasty! All in all there was nothing charming or really good about this place. I wouldn't choose to go back unless I was in the area and the restaurants around had really long wait times. read more

The pasta dish (linguini with seafood, I believe) was disappointing (overcooked), but I'd definitely go for the Mediterranean food. Delicious appetizer plates that include excellent red pepper spread, hummus, baba ghanoush, and potato spread. The roast chicken is excellent - crispy exterior, but the meat isn't overcooked, and it's deliciously lemony. Delivery is decent, but I once got some really stale rice pudding. Every now and then they have a Moroccan lamb and eggplant special, which is really worth ordering. I have a special fondness for their potato chops stuffed with beef and pine nuts, and you can get those as either appetizers or entrees. The staff is always warm and helpful (and my friend Jerry, who works there, is especially so!) read more

I'm a very tough critic because I only give 5 starts if it's A++ This place was outstanding. I went there for dinner last night. I ordered Chiricahua steak and my friend ordered lamb with polenta. Our server andie was super nice and genuine. They kept asking if we wanted more Pita which was so delicious and our waters were always kept! Our food had a beautiful presentation and everything was so flavorful, from the veggies to the meats! The mashed potatoes were Homeade and fresh. At the end, gill who is andies son greeted us, shook our hand and was super nice. They gave us a delicious dessert on the house. It was a small piece of amazing cheesecake with almonds and honey. The presentation of it was so beautiful you almost didnt want to eat it lol. The place itself had fresh flowers on each table and a small candle. It looked clean and had a very romantic touch. I loved my experience :D read more

This is one of those places where you wish it was a favorite, nay ACCEPTABLE past-time to go around people's tables and try a little bit of what they're eating. Not just from your friends' plates...I'm talking the Stranger Dangers' plates in your vicinity. That's right...even the old couple in front of you who ordered the Combination Dip Sample with hummus, harressa, Baba ganoush and patata (because everyone could save $12 for a oh so very delicious-looking appetizer). For starters, they serve you freshly baked pitas instead of bread. So toasty and buttery I could eat it all day. Thing is...they don't automatically refill it so pretty sure it's not bottomless. And quick tip: park on Ashland nearest the restaurant so it's free! I'm all about free parking. It was a Sunday afternoon...around 3ish...when I dined with my sister and new roommate. We ordered: -The Gyros Plate (Best Seller) - 4 stars -Chicken Spinach & Gorgonzola Crêpes - 5 stars -Lobster Ravioli (only I can't seem to find it on their Dinner menu now) - 3 stars -Pitcher of homemade Sangria - 4.5 stars Total damage ~$65. Minus one star because service was somewhat slow...I remember there being a few long waits. That and the person who greeted us had a disclaimer being like "Sorry we only have one bus-boy"...Rookie mistake! Fake it 'til you make it people! Definitely going to return though...I just hope they read my review and work on the service. read more

We decided to hit up Andersonville for some lunch and Sunday shopping. There were quite a few restaurants to choose from, but after passing several and not being able to agree on where to go, we went with this one because they had some nice window seats. It is a Mediterranean place and I noticed a couple other similar restaurants on the same street. My hope is that those ones are better than this one. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, she offered us the lunch buffet which they had going on. However, when we looked at the buffet the food looked mostly picked over and not very appetizing. We ordered a saganaki which was great and I got the beef kebabs. The food was okay - nothing special, but certainly edible. I wouldn't go here again if I were in the area - I'd try another place but if it were the only place open, I guess I would stop. read more

I ordered mousaka & gyro platter delivered to my home & it was horrible. No sour cream with platter plus ordered greek potatoes & it came with ketchup on it. I expected a real greek mouska & I am not sure what It was but had blue cheese in it. Never been to Andies before but will be reluctant to go in the future. read more

Since I moved here, I've been unable to find a shwarma that comes close to the ones back home (Ottawa, Ontario). Andie's comes the closest so far, and for that I'm thankfull. I went for the beef shwarma sandwhich, which is the best shwarma I've hand in Chicago so far. My girlfriend got the shwarma platter on dill rice, which was even better than the sandwhich. We also shared a decent hummous appetizer. The great thing about Andies is that they deliver. There are few places besides pizza joints and Chinese that deliver these days, and even fewer that will make you a shwarma after lunch hour. It also bears mentioning, the delivery guy was great. When's the last time you met a delivery guy who acted like he had the best job in the world? Now, I've never eaten IN the restaraunt, but if you want something different for delivery, Andie's is definitely worth a shot. read more

I was about to come in here and kick some ass after eating at Andie's several times in the past few months and finding it way better than Reza's which seems to get a lot more business, but then I read that several people agree with me so I guess I'll chill out. While I can't say I have been extremely adventurous with the menu, everything I've had has been quite good. The hummus and baba ghanouj are both fantastic (made with heavy doses of tahini so if you're counting calories or weight watchers points stay away) and the shawerma, kabobs, lamb cous cous, and vegetarian dishes have all been excellent. And as other people have mentioned, portions are huge. I guess I am becoming somewhat of a regular because the hostess gave me a coupon last night and mentioned my "patronage." That put a smile on my face, but that might turn in to a frown Charlie Brown if anyone contacts me and says "uh, they do that for everyone" :) read more

walk in, have a seat and eat, eat, eat! they prepare a great lamb chop (soooo tender... mmmmm), a yummy hummus plate and have a very good wine selection. I enjoy their dill rice a bit more than reza's down the street. it's not as dry as reza's dill rice. my only complaint is that parking sux in andersonville. read more

Right next to Rezas on Clark, you'd think Andies would have a lot to live up to, but it really doesn't. The food is excellent and the prices are reasonable, a bit lower scale than Rezas, but still good. I always go for lunch or an early dinner, usually getting a sandwich like a gyros or a schwarma, which you can get with dill rice or cous cous (for a few bucks extra). I was never crazy about the pita bread here, but it's actually gotten better lately. I don't know if I was just unlucky or they changed it around on me. It's fresh and has a hint of a crunch to it, like it was grilled. Even leftover for a few days it's still good. +1 for the pita, because I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hummus is good, but just a warning: it's a bit on the tangy side. One of the best things about Andies is that they deliver and they're very fast. I've ordered out from here many times and I never had any complaints. And they're on GrubHub! Unfortunately there's a $20 minimum for delivery, so if you're eating alone tonight be prepared to have lots of leftovers, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I found very few negatives, for example the dill rice is sometimes on the greasy side and sometimes the rice seems a little overcooked. But I can look past this because the overall quality of the food is great. read more

The food is okay and prices are average. But delivery (less than 2 miles) takes at least an hour and half to two hours on a regular basis. Perhaps worth eating in but NOT for delivery. read more

They were so nice to my kids, I ought to give them 5 stars for that! Alas, I came here for great food but got something a little short of being good. The food was just ok. There were 4 main entrees we ordered - the consensus among our group was that the food tasted as if they've been prepared hours before actual serving. It lacks in freshness. Even a simple couscous was dry and rubbery. On a positive note, the ambiance is happy, the people are nice and its located in a great, fun neighborhood - thus I added a star to my 2 star review of their food! Would I come back again? Maybe, but I'll go to the next door Reza's first. read more

Very friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. The music is not loud so it's a great place to chat over dinner. Good food quality, portions, and price. They have a great variety beyond the typical mediterranean dishes you see everywhere. For a sit-down restaurant, they are very family friendly. Great kids options that are representative of the cuisine and not just Mac and cheese and chicken fingers. All those things make this a great spot, but they really shine in dealing with food allergies and dietary restriction. They have a great assortment of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. They also do a great job dealing with good info and food handling procedures for food allergies. It's become one of my families favorite place to go. read more

The experience started off well. The waiter was polished, the pita bread on the table was warm and tasty, and they brought out a little stuffed animal for my 15 month old daughter. I ordered the Greek Chicken, my wife the Chilean Sea Bass which the waiter said was one of their signature dishes. The Chicken was fine, nothing special, and came with a salad and vegetables. The Sea Bass didn't look or taste like Sea Bass and came with a potato casserole layered with phyllo. The Casserole was frozen solid in the middle. We alerted the waiter who took the plate away and told us that her dinner would be on the house. A few minutes later her replacement meal arrived. The person who brought it out told us it was "extremely hot" and then set it down right in front of our daughter, who, as 15 month old children will do, reached out and touched the fish which burned her hand. Thankfully it wasn't too bad. The food was scorching hot, in only the way that a microwave can heat food, and proved to be unappetizing as well. She managed a few bytes before sharing some of my chicken. Perhaps this place puts out a descent gyro, I can't say for myself, but it does not produce quality food overall. I would, however, strongly recommend the sangria- tasty, strong, and nicely priced. read more

I think the other reviews give you a good picture of the place so I'll just talk about their Jazz Brunch on Sundays. Got there right about noon and the place was almost completely empty. We were seated promptly, ordered our coffee and drinks (I recommend the tequila sunrise over the bloody mary), and hit the buffet. Food: Average, but with some Mediterranean offerings you don't typically see at a brunch. I was suprised that it was so heavy on meats - a vegetarian dining companion decided not to have the buffet and ordered something from the menu instead. I remember seeing bacon, sausage links, gyro meat, pepper steak, salmon, shrimp salad, and 2 chicken dishes. Only 1 egg dish - a sliced spinach omelette that was just ok. Very tasty little dessert pastry selection. Generally, the food was nicely presented, warmed appropriately and replenished regularly. Music: A jazz trio started a little before 12:30 and provided a good background accompanyment to our conversation. It wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk, but wasn't so good that we wanted to stop and just listen. One problem is the speaker system... a music technician friend of mine pointed out that the ceiling-mounted speakers are almost parallel to the floor, making the optimum listening space about 9 feet in the air. But, overall, it was very pleasant. After a little over an hour, the band took a break and ate some brunch. Service: Initially very good but after our first coffee refill, our server disappeared for quite a while. Maybe she had a 15-minute break that went a little long? Needless to say, we were quite happy when she reappeared with carafes of coffee. It would be nice if they added a self-serve coffee station to the buffet for patrons who want (need?) a 3rd cup of coffee. Overall, I'd say this is a second-choice for brunch in Andersonville for those who don't want to deal with the lines at M Henry or Ann Sather. read more

I moved to Andersonville in February, and have been working my way around all the excellent restaurants. Andies was on my list because i Love mediterranean food. It was delicious. I had avegetarian lentil entree that was simple but super tasty. The service, however, was just terrible. My friend and I had gone there this summer, and wanted to sit outside. There was a group that was just paying, and we told the hostess that we'd like to wait for that table, if that was ok. It opened up, and she seated us before the table had been completely cleared. So awkward. Good thing I'm not really picky about that, and/or it wasn't totally messy...but I don't understand why they didn't take the time to replace the paper table covering. Then someone came by with water and silverware, and asked the odd question: "oh, do you need menus?" Wha-? Of course we needed menus! I don't really know why the hostess didn't bring us menus when she sat us...but... then our server came. I wish I could remember his name, even though he wrote it on our table cloth (ummm...next to the name of the previous party's waiter...). He was quite possibly one of the most socially awkward, nervous, bizarre servers I've even had. Just, weird. It took forever for him to get my friend's bloody mary to her, and when it did arrive, it was so sloppy, she had to wipe it down herself before she could drink out of it. Our entrees came before our appetizer (which was HUMMUS, not even something that needs to be cooked). This is such a pet peeve of mine!! I wanted to tell him that of course we didn't want/need it any more (if nothing else, just to express my annoyance), but my friend did want it still, and, well, it was good. All in all, a very poor dining experience. As I said before, the food was excellent. I'll just be calling in and ordering take out if I ever want Andies food again. read more

Oh no, hate to do this but...This place used to be great but has gotten to be a bit of a disappointment. On two occasions, I ordered a glass of retsina (it's a mediteranean white wine) and both waiters looked at me like a martian from outer space. I was like, "Hey pal, it's on your menu under wines by the glass!" Read your own friggin menu. We came at 6pm with two small kids tonight, the restaurant was 1/4 full, didn't get served till 7:10, and what we were served was either wrong or the meat was over-cooked. They brought my vegetarian son a cheeseburger. The kids were practically wriggling out of their skin. Even the complimentary desserts for all the mix-ups, suggested by the hostess, were slooow to arrive. And all the lateness was attributed to a sudden influx of carry-outs...! What the heck? Our table concluded that there is a deeply-ingrained management problem at this restaurant -- from training (and retaining) waiters, to keeping the kitchen going, and just getting things done in general. Total mess! read more
