I honestly have never had a restaurant prepared meal that was even remotely prepared to this caliber of perfection! Alright here we go.... FOOD: We ordered WAY TOO MUCH, but we wanted to get a full understanding of what they were about, that and the pictures in the menu looked amazing. I always ask for suggestions when I'm trying something new.....And you can always tell when it's a knowledgeable, helpful and caring person by what they recommend....the 4 to 5 gentlemen who took care of us brought us an abundance of delicious and beautifully presented foods, including sides and specialties...we were blown away!! Service was beyond perfect....it really feels like you're hanging out with the family you always kinda wanted...lol! Above and beyond!!! Ambiance is comforting and relaxing not at all pretentious with plenty of room for large groups and families to enjoy together. I base a lot of my opinions about the overall quality of the restaurants that I review on the cleanliness of their restrooms....it's a "basic bottle line" that says everything you need to know about where you could potentially be eating and drinking by doing nothing more than taking a quick trip to the toilet. If it's a mess, LEAVE!! If it's kept up, well stocked and CLEAN, then hug the owner, tell your friends and family to eat there and write a good review because phenomenal places with pristine restrooms like Edessa are becoming a rarity, a thing of the past, a novelty in a new era of nasty, busted and gross establishments serving crap.... Try Edessa, you won't be disappointed!!

Visited Jerusalem Reebar Restaurant for a weekend lunch and had a decent experience overall…read more The ambiance was nice but fairly average and didn't particularly stand out. Since we visited on a weekend, it felt like they might have been a bit understaffed, as the service seemed a little slower than expected. We ordered a variety of dishes, and the food itself was enjoyable. The Mixed Shawarma Plate was flavorful and a good choice if you want to try a little bit of everything. We also had the Lamb Kabob and Chicken Tikka, and both were well cooked and tasted good. Overall, it's a solid Mediterranean restaurant with good food, but it didn't quite stand out from other Mediterranean spots I've visited. Still, it's worth a visit if you're in the area and craving Mediterranean cuisine.

This dish came with rice and the rice is THE BOMB! don't pass on the rice.... sooooo good.

We made a special visit to Osh to try them on a weekend trip to Nashville about a month ago. I'd…read moresaved them in my Nashville bookmarks for some time after they received a lot of acclaim on Yelp - I believe at one time they were on a Yelp list of best restaurants in the US. We were certainly excited to try Uzbek food, as there's nowhere that serves it where we live. The restaurant doesn't look like too much from the outside and the parking lot is a little run down. However, the inside is very updated and super clean and comfortable. There's lots of seating, what appears to be a private room in the back, and some high-tech features, like a machine that you can use to alert waitstaff if you need a refill, a to-go box, or any other kind of attention. The bathrooms were also immaculate. Service was a little strange. I wouldn't say it was slow - every time we placed an order or had a request, our food or items were promptly brought out to us. However, the challenge came in getting the attention of our waitresses. Two ladies took care of us, alternating based on availability. One was very nice and friendly, the other a little gruff and irritable-seeming. But both were completely averse to coming in and checking on us without one of us flagging them down. Perhaps they're used to the little machines? I don't like using those because they come across as too demanding; I'd prefer to just be visited and checked in on from time to time by staff. Not so here. Despite not being very busy, our visit took a lot of time, even though the actual food service was fairly quick. Onto the food, the most important part. We ordered a lot because I wanted to experience as many unique dishes as possible. One waitress first brought out a complimentary serving of pita and what I believe was suzma, which the menu describes as a yogurt-based cheese. This was one of the highlights of our meal, actually, as the pita was hot, fresh, and very lightly charred. The suzma went very well with it. Then we ordered a chicken somsa and some Uzbek bread. The chicken somsa was alright; the pastry was delightfully flaky, but for me it was way too onion-forward. The Uzbek bread was another highlight. It was a temperature and textural delight - so warm and fluffy - if not a flavor bomb. It was great to polish off the remaining suzma from our complimentary treat. For entrees, my husband wanted to try the signature osh, while I ordered chicken shashlik. The osh was probably the better of the two but he didn't love it. It was quite greasy and the lamb was on the gamey side. My chicken shashlik had definitely been near charcoal too long; it had an overly-charred, unpleasant chemical-y taste. The accompanying rice had so much butter or oil in it that it was greasy, too, and although that imparted more flavor into it, I felt gross after a couple of bites. Everything was cooked well, just the flavors really didn't quite come together for us on this visit. It's hard for me to believe, given the average outstanding reviews and consistent praise this place gets, that our experience was an average one. Perhaps we just came on an off day or ordered the wrong things for our palates, since we're fairly unfamiliar with this cuisine. I would be willing to try again some day, but sadly our first visit didn't quite wow the way we'd hoped it would. I appreciate the clean and pretty environment and quickly prepared food!

Keep in mind that they have different menus according to Dinner, Lunch and Weekend Brunch. They offer plenty of Vegan and Vegetarian dishes. This is a Scratch kithen and you can tell by the fresh Ingredients and vibrant colors of the food. The interior of the restaurant feels modern and classy with skylights to let in the natural light. The staff are very friendly and the service is very good. The dress code is Smart Casual. They also offer a full bar along with an extensive European wine list. If you're looking for a great date night spot or a weekend brunch, this would be a nice option. The food and the ambiance go hand in hand. I would recommend making reservations as it can get very busy at peak hours. To finish the review-- Parking situation-- There is limited street parking, Pay to park lots and you can park at Sevier Park which is a short walk to the restaurant and it's free. Enjoy!!

The restaurant is well established and doesn't rely on frills and gimmicks to attract their clientele. Lots of brown and neutrals dominate the aesthetic - cultural decor and an occasional tv can be spotted along the walls. All the kebabs are well seasoned and full of flavor. The meat is both crispy and juicy. The complimentary pita is served warm and is pillowy soft. Some of my favorite hidden gems on this menu are on the appetizer list. Don't skip over the chefs appetizer with creamy cheese, olives, herbs and ground walnuts! I also love the light but flavorful white bean soup with tomato broth and generous chunks of chicken.

I am so glad that they did, otherwise we wouldn't have experienced the deliciousness that is Middle Eatz! This place is delicious! I am so happy that we stumbled upon it. First off, there are booths on one side and then more cozy-square-ish tables on the other side, and then more seating in the middle. There are beautiful portraits of various landscapes adorning the walls. The food has great choices (even some smashburgers because the owners are from the west coast) but the Yemeni cuisine is delicious! My partner ordered the chicken mendi, which was fall off the bone tender. The chicken flavored rice was delicious. I had a chicken plate with rice, and also ordered chicken and potato samboosa. Everything was wonderful, and the portions were generous. Service was great! I can't wait to go back to this wonderful gem. I overhead one of the owners saying he and his brothers own it, and their sons work there. It is a true family business.

I just wrote a review on Nashville Zoo, so now I want to mention Amadi International Food Market…read more When you leave the zoo and head south on Nolensville Pike, go about a quarter of a mile and turn left into Elysian Fields shopping center. Elysian Fields has the largest concentration of Kurdish people in the country. Here you will find a restaurant and a couple of markets.

I believe it's made by the women in ovens in the ground, and it's round and is about the size of an extra large pizza. It comes in a bag of four or five pieces and is very inexpensive and absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favor and try it sometime.

Everything is meant to be share style on the menu, and so we opted to do a few starting dips with pita bread as well as some salads and two main dishes. The pita bread was honestly the highlight of my night! It was made fresh and it was so simple, but so delectable on its own, even without the hummus, which was also delicious. I think this is one of the best places you can go for good appetizers. I felt that the meat was good, but not as stand out as the hummus and the asparagus salad. I would love to come back for the pita bread alone. The service was exceptional, with an attentive and friendly staff.
