Andalusia Kitchen

The best chicken kabobs ever- so moist and flavorful. The hummus and garlic sauce is delicious. We had the baklava and rice pudding tonight and they were amazing as well. We love this place!

Today, my husband and I had the amazing pleasure of having lunch at Andalusias Kitchen in San Clemente. The food was absolutely wonderful and the service was perfect. If you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the place. Don’t miss it!

Did not even know this place existed in the cute little shopping mall at the top of my street, but so glad I found it this afternoon. Very good experience. The server Maureen was so attentive. Mark, the chef/owner came out to see how we liked the food. The answer was we liked it a lot! We ordered falafel wraps and baklava. The carrot sundried tomato dip with pita bread that was complimentary to us was delicious. My friend loved it and she doesn't like anything. Nice casual vibe. Will definitely go back and try the skewers and the salmon.

Sorry I ate the food so fast I forgot to take a picture! I had a vegetarian plate with falafel, couscous, hummus, babaganoush(sp?), wrapped olive, and shredded cabbage. It was really good and the chef/owner really took care of me and my parents. Thank you!

10/10 food, service, atmosphere and location! We went for the Moroccan specialties and kofta kabob and absolutely loved everything from the salads to the soups to the main courses. The chef and owner are both so kind and delightful. Easy parking in the lot. A hidden gem.

This was our first time eating here. We placed a to go order and it was quick and easy! The food was excellent! We definitely will be eating here a lot! I highly recommend!

We were always curious about this place. After reading the reviews, we knew we had to try it. After eating here and meeting the owner, Mark, we were hooked! The food is amazing. This place set the bar high for us that we're disappointed when we go to restaurants that serve similar food. It's definitely a hidden gem in San Clemente.

We got take out and it was fantastic. Every aspect of our combo order was delicious down to the naan and every single sauce. Can’t wait to share this food with friends and family who come to visit!

This place is 10/10 BEST chicken, rice and baklava I’ve ever had. Everything tastes so fresh and made from scratch. The pita was absolutely perfect. I’m obsessed. Husband said the baklava was the best thing he has had in his entire life

Andalusia is a delightful restaurant in Old Town San Clemente. We went on a Saturday at 7pm and had made a reservation, but we were the only ones there. The owner is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate chef. He heard our wants and personally brought out shared platters for my party of 5 to eat. We were skeptical to trust his choice at first but we had no regrets about what he brought out. He even accommodated the vegetarians in our group. I would recommend coming here for some good Lebanese eats.

I highly recommend putting in reservations. The amount of tables is limited so I can see during busy times, this could have a bit of a wait time. Service felt like you were a guest at someone's home. Very comforting and I never felt rushed to make an order. Food was amazing. We had Lamb and Chicken kabobs, rice, salad, and pita with hummus. Again, it felt like you were eating at someones home. The taste was so flavorful and plenty of it. I felt like I truly got my money's worth. If I lived close enough, I would come here often, but we drove over an hour just to try this place out. Really great restaurant.

My wife, and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Andalucia Kitchen, and it was an experience we won’t soon forget. From the moment we walked in, the owner and chef, Mark, made us feel like we were guests in his own home. His warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for the evening. The food was incredible. We started with the Dolmeh, Carrot Hummus, and Fattoush Salad, all of which were fresh and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we enjoyed the Chicken Shawarma and Chicken Taouk. Every bite was a delight, and it was clear that the dishes were prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. To finish off our meal, we had Mint Tea and Baklava. The perfect ending to a wonderful evening. We were also thrilled to discover that Andalucia Kitchen is seed oil-free, which is something we really appreciate. We can’t wait to go back and enjoy more of the delicious food and warm atmosphere. If you’re looking for an authentic and welcoming dining experience, Andalucia Kitchen is a must-visit!

I just ordered a take out for the first time, and everything was absolutely delicious!! A great find!! Will definitely return to try other specialties. The backlawa was also excellent!! So fresh and plenty of flavor!

Vance Chan

What a wonderful find! It’s in the Old Town center in San Clemente. Fantastic Moroccan food with unbelievable subtle flavors. The beef and the lemon chicken offered on Fridays and Saturdays are very special. The chef makes his own desserts as well - hint: ask for the “choclava.”

Blaine Decker

The Shawarma and baklava are the best I've ever had. The humans is spectacular and there was some kind of carrot dip they brought out without us ordering it and it was instantly gone. Never had anything like it.

Dylan Heath

Wow! The food is amazing here! The dip they bring with the pita bread is fire. The cheese roll was sooo tasty. Everything was fire, the chef definitely knows what he is doing. Our server Deonna was great, so friendly and helpful. We are definitely coming back!

Absolutely delicious food!! The lamb, the appetizers, the rice, the salads, the coffee and pastries!!! All 10 out of 10! Our little ones love it - and we the parents love it! Great place for lunch or dinner. Huge fans of our (relatively) new local spot!

Dee Dee Verdad

Hands down amazing! This area is located in a cute plaza. Their grilled chicken was delicious and juicy, along with their appetizers and desserts. The server, Dee and owner are both very welcoming. I recommend trying this place out if you want to experience good service and food.

Stumbled on this place and decided to give it a try. I am sure glad I did. The food was excellent. The chef put a lot of love into the meals and it showed. The flavors were amazing. Very good service all around. I will definitely be coming back when I am in the area again.
