My every day favorite Place. being in Andala helping me to finish lots of online duties while at home i feel sleepy and slaw. my order is usual foole plate, falafel plate, lentil soup, arabic coffee and organic green tea. the Arabic Atmosphere inside the place is amazing. cooper products used to serve customers are delightful. last thing please do not forget to pickup the 3 coffee beans in your coffee plate and use it to feed rabbits, birds ...etc.Don’t forget your after coffee message, attached mines ;)
Cute spot with a cozy outdoor space. The omelettes are delish, including the home fries which were very flavorful. Coffee was also good. Service is a bit slow so this spot is good if you’re looking to hang out for a while.
Service was excellent and the Turkish coffee and fresh food options were very refreshing.
Came here for a late night coffee (open til 11pm). Espresso was great! We got here after the kitchen closed (9:30pm) but they still offered desserts & drinks. We ordered baklava and rice pudding - one of the best we've ever had! Definitely coming back to try the food. They also have outdoor seating & hookah. The inside seating has a warm feeling, almost like you are in someone's house. Bright colors, lots of plants and plenty of seating. Definitely worth checking this place out!
So truthfully, the food here is really good. I've been a bunch of times and always appreciate what's served in front of me. Collectively, I find my issues revolving around the service and overall timeliness of the staff. They quite often take a long time to see to you and process what you're saying, and a few different times, I have gotten my food order wrong. That being said, I keep going back, partly for the food, partly for the outdoor seating and hookah but certainly not for the service...
Wonderful food, drinks, teas, and coffees. Pastries / desserts are rich, subtle, not overwhelming, yet invigorating and delightful.The meals are wonderfully prepared, generous portion sizes - delicious choices for both vegetarian and meat diets.The ambiance is serene, authentic decoration, comfortable and spacious seating indoors. Outdoor seating is wonderful in spring and summer, especially under the canopy of trees whose leaves provide an awning of live beauty accompanied by the Cambridge / Boston breeze.A wonderful experience and a treat.for all who enjoy the finer experiences - without breaking the bank.In a word - exquisite.
I could never recommend Andala more highly. As a Harvard grad student in 09' this was the late night study and hookah spot for myself and Iraqi Assyrian best friend. I was so happy it was still there and as wonderful. Fantastic Arabic and Turkish coffee, great meat and spinach pies and Jerusalem sandwich. Very reasonable hookah. No place like home. Andala is a warm blanket of Arabic love.
This was a good place. We tried the chicken hummus and it was really good. They also provided us with extra pita bread. The coffee was okayish. The only downside to this place is that the service is really slow. The atmosphere is really nice and chilled out. So I would recommend this place if you would like to chill and relax. The place also serves hookah.
Love the ambiance and their tea/coffee. Breakfast was really good. Service is not always the best but I always enjoy coming here!
Andala was a serendipitous find just a few blocks from our hotel. With so many interesting dishes on the menu it was hard to decide what to order for breakfast. Generous portions, fresh fruits, hand-blended tea--the perfect start to our day.
