Al-Andalus, a Middle Eastern-inspired tapas restaurant from Overthrow Hospitality, is set to open soon at 511 E. Fifth St.

 

Amira Gharib, the opening chef at Soda Club, has crafted a menu of shareable small plates — all priced at $10 or less — drawing on the culinary traditions of North Africa, the Levant, and southern Spain. The restaurant will also feature a wine program and 10 cocktails on draft.

 

The space between Avenue A and Avenue B was previously home to Eterea, Overthrow's vegan Mexican restaurant, which closed in March 2024. Eterea's chef, Victor Hernandez, died after suffering a stroke in December 2023.
