We investigate Andreev reflection (AR) in a proximity-induced normal-superconductor (NS) junction within the extended α-T₃ lattice, emphasizing the impact of flat bands on AR. Our findings reveal that flat bands significantly enhance AR. Through wave packet dynamics, we track the real-time evolution of quasi-particle wave packets across the junction, providing deeper insight into electron-hole conversion. Notably, the combination of band flatness and anisotropic dispersion in the kₓ-kᵧ plane induces an electronic analog of Goos-Hänchen (GH) shifts at the NS interface, exhibiting directional asymmetry along the junction. This asymmetry leads to a Hall-like response in Josephson junction in SNS geometry, where transport across the junction region is dominated by the quasi-flat bands.
