Food was fresh and made to order. Service was friendly and accommodating. We ordered two meals and it was enough to feed four.

I really don't enjoy writing this but I'm hoping the owner will give this thought. I absolutely loved this place when they first opened. I was a regular customer and was always grateful to send friends here. The past few times I have come in have not been good and I don't plan on coming back. Unfriendly service Food is not good Food never comes the way described on the menu Things on the menu are not included and what is included in the food is not on the menu Everything is over salted The garlic sauce is just gross ranch dressing It takes forever for the food then it's not worth the money spent I'm really disappointed because there aren't many restaurants here that have international cuisine that offers authentic flavors. I love trying different international dishes that are authentic instead of made for the pallet of picky eaters. read more

This was a cool local joint to check out and the food was good! The seating area was clean and the staff were nice. Docking points for how long it took for food to come out (~10 mins) and because there were items on my Chicken Shawarma that weren't listed on the menu that I didn't want (tomatoes, lettuce). Menu simply says ingredients are shawarma, white garlic sauce, and pickles. Next time I'll know to request just those items on it! read more

Visiting this town for the first time, we always try to seek out local, non-chain spots--and we're so glad a local recommended this one. At first, we were hesitant since there were only two ladies dining in when we arrived, but we took the chance, and it definitely paid off. The food was excellent--hot, fresh, and generously portioned. My husband and I shared the deboned mixed chicken with rice and salad, and added a side of hummus. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. Don't let the small size of the place or the more serious demeanor of the staff deter you. By the time we left we got a smile out of him and exchanged laughs. It's absolutely worth a visit for authentic, well-made food. read more

Not many places in Cookeville for middle eastern food. This place is decent but the prices can be a little high for the amount of food you get. read more

To start you walk in to an amazingly delicious scent of savory delights. The folks taking your order are nice. The prices are pretty high. $25 per plate average. Not expected when your food is going to come in a styrofoam plate read more

I absolutely love this place everytime I go in! The smoothies and falafel is super tasty and the staff is always nice and attentive!

I've lived in the Cookeville area for several years now and have always passed by this place, thinking it was a juice and smoothie bar. Today, I realized it's Mediterranean food and finally gave it a try and now I am SO mad at myself for never stopping here before!! It was so good that it immediately became my new favorite restaurant in Cookeville! I had a lamb sandwich on pita that had so much flavor and the very first bite made me melt in my seat out of pure bliss. Thank you for bringing this wonderful food to Cookeville! I will DEFINITELY be back!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Food is good, the guys working here are rude as hell. I paid $80 for an online order they said they did not receive. Could not work off the order number confirmation and kept demanding a screen shot, which I did not have. I will never go back. Pretty sure it's an Al Qaida sleeper cell. read more

Fantastic Food! Will return, had Greek Salad, Hummus, Chicken Swarma. All excellent flavor. Glad we stopped.

The food is really good and there are lots of healthy options. I ordered the shawarma platter and it was delicious. It also is clean inside and has plenty of tables to eat at. read more

Absolutely EXCELLENT. Chicken shawarma was absolutely to die for, seasoned, saucy, garlicky, and delicious! Falafel was super yummy as well. Amazing hummus. I got a juice and smoothie that were very fresh and healthy, made right there. All of the food is obviously authentic, high quality, and very fresh. The workers were super nice as well. Will be coming back!! read more

Highly recommend! The food is amazing, cooked fresh to order. Friendly staff. Cozy environment. Healthy food on the go! The shawarma is worth the drive. read more

Came in for some chicken and was surprised by the quality and quantity. Fresh and tasty, we will definitely be back! Ask for the garlic sauce for the proteins! Added a carrot ginger smoothie( all fresh ingredients done at the moment) at his advice as we were on the road. A lovely surprise that leaves you satisfied and enriched. Definite 5/5 read more

Had a chicken schwarma sandwich! It was chocked full of meat and veggies - delish! Will be going back!

Looking for middle eastern food or Greek food! This is the spot! I love lamb shawarma and Greek food and this is great! Service is excellent and food is cooked to order! The place is so clean and well taken care of as well. read more

The food was excellent. If the price of the entree and/or concerns you...The entree portion is large enough to feed three people in one sitting (I picked up my to-go order and was very surprised of how heavy it was for one entree item) . The juice drinks are fresh fruits and vegetables going through a juicer right there in front of you by the cashier station. Staff were super incredibly nice. I'll read more

Green Life - It's a lot of food in my opinion - Mediterranean Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

I can't pronounce any of the foods but my goodness, everything is delicious! We came here for lunch for the first time and even though it was a busy place, the guys working here were friendly, very efficient and very helpful. The place is very clean and organized, as well. Now, the food was just outstanding! My new favorite place to grab a quick savory, and on top of that, very healthy lunch or dinner. I ordered the Shish Tawook which consist of grilled chicken kabob with rice and sauce and a savory salad. My husband ordered the Meat Shawarma which also comes with a salad. Both dishes were perfectly seasoned and simply delicious! The portions are very generous too. We also ordered one of their delicious smoothies. Oh my gosh! That smoothie was the cherry on top! Just perfectly refreshing and satisfying! This place is my new favorite lunch and dinner spot! read more

Absolutely delicious! Salads made fresh. Chicken Swarma was amazing! Very friendly service as well!

I hesitate to share this because I enjoyed walking in and ordering without a wait, but that would be selfish of me. This treasure is located on Willow just down from Cici's Pizza. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor. The menu is Mediterranean (think shawarma, falafel, and the best hummus), juice and smoothies. Excellent food and the service was spot on. An important note, we walked in after Wednesday night choir rehearsal at 8:00 pm (they're open until 9) and they treated us like we were the first customers of the day. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I didn't get a picture of my husband's chicken shawarma, but I did steal a bite. It was delicious. I ordered a small Greek salad and hummus. I have enough for lunch tomorrow. Well done, Green Life. I'll be back. read more

Green Life - Greek salad & hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

Just stopped here in a road trip w a friend and each of our 4 year old daughters. The kids chicken nugget plates were delicious. My friend and I split the chicken shawarma lunch plate, which was huge and also very good. Service was through the roof and we even got smoothie samples. Just sad this isn't in our hometown because it's a 5 star spot. Happy to have stumbled upon it on a road trip and to not have to have another fast food stop. read more

The food is great. We ordered the chicken and rice and the flavor and quality was great. Service though, was not that great. People were leaving because of how long the food was taking which is somewhat understandable considering the fact that there are only 2 people cooking and serving. But that isn't an excuse because every restaurant needs to be able to serve people quickly and efficiently. The servers though were very nice and hard working. The inside is nice with a decent amount of seating. You are able to watch them cook which was pretty cool. Overall the place is okay but willing to come back. read more

Great food at a great price. Love the falafel sandwich. We love coming here whenever we're in Cookeville.

Always on the hunt for great Greek food. I Ordered a gyro, but didn't specify chicken or lamb (didn't notice they had both till after I ordered. The sandwich, although it wasn't what I expected, was Fantastic!! The meat was cubed & seasoned with something wonderful. I'm not familiar enough with spices to tell what it was, but it was GOOD! My favorite Greek place is in Lebanon, but as I live in Carthage, I'm SO happy to have found this for when I'm in Cookeville! They have Many items on their menu, including fruit smoothies & juices so there's something for everyone! read more

The service was subpar. The food was tasteless. Not getting my recommendations Nothing warm and friendly about the staff.

Just recently moved to Cookeville and this place popped up on DoorDash. Meat Shawarma and Chicken Shawarma were packed with flavor! Falafel was so delicious! Will definitely order again or stop in the store to try out the smoothies and juices. What a find! read more

Really good , healthy and different Traveling through going to Nashville need some healthy foods and found this place on Yelp and really glad this app exists. read more

I actually found out about this place because we workout at the same gym. This place has one of the healthiest menus I've seen in a long time. My husband and I both got the meat shawarma and it was huge portions without the inflated prices. The vegetables with hummus appetizer plate were a nice variety and very fresh. We were just to full to try one of the many smoothies options available but we certainly will be back to try them. They did give us a sample of one & it was fantastic! Both the gentleman work today were very welcoming and gave excellent customer service. Ask several times if e every thing was good & it was. Lots of people were coming in to get pick up orders and I see why, we left with plenty of left overs! The food was extremely fresh. I had never had meditranian food but after hear the guy at the gym describe it I am so glad I gave it a chance. The food was top quality, fresh and very well seasoned. We will definitely be back. If you haven't stopped in I highly encourage you to give this place an opportunity. The food is filling but light. Very delicious! read more
