Andalous Mediterranean Grill

You walk into what looks like a shawarma counter and notice a wine list tucked behind the register — not what you expected. The price range is refreshingly modest, and the regional focus skews toward Lebanon and the Mediterranean rather than the usual Napa-and-done approach. It's a small list, but somebody made real choices here.

Twenty to forty bottles doesn't sound like much, but when you spot Chateau Ksara and Domaine des Tourelles from the Bekaa Valley, you know this list wasn't assembled on autopilot. Lebanese wine sits alongside Greek, Southern French, Spanish, and California picks — a genuinely international spread for a fast-casual spot in an Irving strip mall. The gaps are real: no white wine depth to speak of beyond the basics, and the California presence feels like a concession to guests who won't venture further. Still, the Middle Eastern and Eastern Mediterranean anchor is a legitimate point of difference in this market.

Four to eight pours by the glass in the $8–$14 range keeps things accessible, and the ceiling price is honest for what you're getting. We'd love to see the Bekaa Valley reds available by the glass — that would turn this into something worth talking about — but even in its current form, the BTG program does the job without gouging you.
