Five stars for the rather expensive, but delicious, desserts. Did not try anything else.
Everything is delicious here! Ordered the Mesa (smorgasboard) totally worth it! Don't forget to get some Baklava for dessert. EDIT 2020: They used to have the smorgasbord (all the tabouleh and hummus and raw beef and everything including shawarma to top it all off) to share but now its only for one, but it's still good to share it. I just order the shawarma on the side (which is already pre-cut in half). The drinks are pricier than average, and if you have a beer or two and Turkish coffee and baklava for s delicious dessert, you can expect to spend MXN1000.
This was a great experience. My wife is Persian and loves Lebanese food (Persian food more of course) and I used to have a client that was a 70 year old Lebanese great grandmother that would bring dishes in to my office all the time. So I have been spoiled by tradition dishes. I've been to many Lebanese and middle eastern restraunts serving the same dishes but al Andalus was on point! Every dish was legit, cooked perfectly and delicious. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly and a good size compared to most restaurants. The tabbouleh was the perfect ratio of all ingredients. This salad is rarely correctly prepared but here it was perfect. The carne stuffed grape leaves and the keppe bola I could eat everyday. The eggplant dish "al Andalus" was delicious too Add to that the amazing service and atmosphere and you can't go wrong. We both said before leaving when we want a taste of the middle east and Lebanon this is our spot!
Delicious food and very kind people.
This is a hidden gem. Amazing Lebanese menu with a must have desert and strong coffee.
Very tasty, refurbished place. They know what they're doing. Recommended (although service was slow that day)
I had only been to their restaurant in downtown and since I read that the place is not that nice, we decided to order to go. We ordered two “mesas libanesas con shawarma”, one order of kepe bola, and some desserts (dedos de novia are amazing) for 5 people. Everything was delicious, just as I remembered from 5 years ago. I recommend to go in a group or order to go in order to try many mezzes and meat dishes (e.g. kepe bola is a must!). It is expensive (about 20 usd per person) but it’s totally worth it. The place definitely needs some remodeling. But you need to go there for the food or visit their downtown restaurant.
