Andalous

This is hands-down the best Moroccan food in Chicago. The lamb is great. I highly recommend this place for groups--the BYOB makes it a place for everyone and you can easily have three courses for $25 per person. Again, best. ever.

Great couscous (and as Moroccan amateur cook I'm very demanding) . Good appetizers too Tea was good but not minty enough and too sweet

Nicely prepared North African dishes.

I went to Cafe Andalous this past weekend for my birthday with 13 of my friends. We made reservations ahead of time and I called twice to confirm. When I arrived, the owner claimed we did not have a reservation. After I complained, he suddenly remembered that we had a reservation but he gave our table away to another group. We were assured we would have a table "very very soon." After waiting 45 minutes, we were informed they would sit us at a table that sat 8 people (our party was 14). The party before us was informed that we needed their table and proceeded to open another bottle of wine. The staff was in no hurry to seat us. When the party finally left, we sat down. The remaining 6 people in my party who did not have a seat waited for the table next to us to clear out. That table felt sorry for us and quickly took care of their bill. We waited another 20 minutes for plates, silverware and menus. The staff was not at all apologetic but offered us 3 "free" appetizers that eventually showed up on our bill later. The service was horrible and although they claim to take reservations, we still had to wait almost an hour to be seated. It's too bad the food is so delicious. The owner needs some restaurant management training and the staff needs to learn how to treat customers well. I will never return with a large group.
