When opening their place in 1993, brothers/owners "Big Andy" and Majed Hajjar intended to only sell a variety of Mediterranean canned goods, snacks and sandwiches in their market. After evolving into the full-service restaurant that it is today, Andy's Mediterranean Grill still offers sandwiches such as the specialty turkey and tabouli, but now, diners are more likely to order something from the grill. The sunny, wood-paneled dining room and cheery outdoor patio make for cozy lunch and dinner nooks. Start with fattoush salad, grape leaves, hummus with tahini, moist and mildly spicy falafel, baba ghanoush, or red lentil soup with a hint of citrus. Move on to shawarma (marinated chicken with tahini, tomato, pickle, parsley and garlic) or kafta (charbroiled ground beef with parsley, onion, tomato and hummus). Guava or mango juices make great accompaniments to your meal and can be mixed with gin or vodka in a cocktail called the Lebanese Blonde. Try baklava with Lebanese coffee for dessert. Hookahs with a variety of fruit-flavored tobacco, weekend Arabic karaoke, and the occasional belly-dancing display add to the exotic atmosphere. Voted Best Mediterranean in the 2007 CityBeat readers poll. Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
