Clean place. Food was fresh and the manager was nice. Baklava is really tasty. I would recommend!
This place was freaking awesome! We definitely need one of these back home. I never eat buffets due to how many people are hanging over food but the set up and how clean everything was I gave it a shot and I'm super glad I did. I left so full and for 25$ for all you can eat Mediterranean food that's this good you just can't beat it. On top of that I got to enjoy my food on an empty patio ..loved it. Highly recommend if you're in the area.
If you only had to eat one thing, I would suggest the snapper. Very flavorful, but everything is good, especially the salads and the hummus.
I use to work very near this location and loved coming here for lunch, my job moved a good distance away, but now I’m closer to it again. The food is just as good as I remember it to be 4 years ago. The squash and the coriander potatoes are insanely delicious and the spicy hummus is still one of my favorites. Staff is nice and very helpful.
This place is a great spot if you’re craving Mediterranean food. The place is always spotless, which really adds to the dining experience. What stood out most to me is how often they top up the food you never feel like you’re getting leftovers that have been sitting there too long. Everything tastes fresh, and there’s plenty of variety, from grilled meats and flavorful rice to fresh salads and sides. It’s the kind of buffet where you can try a little bit of everything and still want to go back for more. For an all you can eat place, it’s definitely good value, and the quality is better than most buffets I’ve been to.
The food is delicious! The beef and chicken kabobs are very moist and rich. There is a large variety of choices and the presentation is very enticing. I took two stars off service because on the last two occasions I was here, it took a full ~ 20 - 30 minutes to refill the buffet with popular items like the beef and chicken kabobs. A lot of people were left waiting and you could see the owner going over to the cooks and having tense conversations about the delay. The cooks need to be prepared for the busy hours. I took two stars away from atmosphere due to the owners/management not taking responsibility to admonish parents who literally let their children RUN around the restaurant. It is disturbing and annoying to other diners. Management needs to step in and make parents responsible for keeping their children in chairs at the table and not being able to leave the table unaccompanied.
I had a wonderful experience at Andalous Buffet! The food was fresh, flavorful, and offered a great variety for every taste. The restaurant was clean, well-organized, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. A special shoutout to the manager — she was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. She checked on guests with a big smile and made sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. You can really see her dedication in how smoothly everything runs. I highly recommend Andalous Buffet for anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service!
