I absolutely enjoy trying new places that are different than what I'm accustomed to. Jerusalem, is one of those places. Tik Tok sent me, and I'm more than glad I had this experience. I'll be back. Service here was great. The gentleman was so willing to describe everything on the menu. He even recommended quite a few options for us to try. When you try new places, you have to order a little of everything to get an actual feel for the restaurant. My advice is to order a little bit of this and a little bit of that; you won't be displeased. Take in all of the culture. This place has a lot of character from the art on the walls to the minor decor on the tables. See photos for everything ordered! I can't even begin to name them all. read more

Visited Jerusalem Reebar Restaurant for a weekend lunch and had a decent experience overall. 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. read more

Great overall Here is what we had and loved them all: - Hummus: very creamy - Baba Ghanouj: very good, but wasn't very smoky (which is what I am used to). they bake the eggplant and purée it with tahini, garlic, and olive oil... it was delish. - Chicken Shawarma Plate: very good also, but there was a creamy topping that was a bit overwhelming.... maybe get it on the side next time. This dish came with rice and the rice is THE BOMB! don't pass on the rice.... sooooo good. Staff were all very nice and friendly This was my first time there.... but I was told they just finished a remodel- the place looks great. Pretty large venue so good for groups. Parking is easy - no worries there. Would I go back? YES, there is more to try. read more

I did a delivery service, so I do not know what the actual ambiance of restaurant is like, but I can attest for the food. I got the chicken shawarma plate! It came with a side salad and this white garlic sauce. Mix that sauce with the chicken and rice and you will not be able to put that plate down. Looking forward to checking out the restaurant soon! read more

Jerusalem Reebar - Chicken Shawarma Plate! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

10/10 no notes. I ordered a mint lemonade slush, labneh, and a chicken shawarma wrap. My waitress was very sweet and the one that recommended that drink and she was right, it was delicious. It's a big restaurant lots of open space and very calm inside. Everything was so good and reasonably priced. Definitely will be back. read more

Lovely tucked away spot with very friendly staff! So many great food options, was hard to choose. The fried cheese was crispy and tangy in the best way. The lamb was excellently grilled and the ample rice was perfect. Only "complaint" is that the prices for everything is a bit high for what you get. Otherwise a great time! read more

Logistics: This place is tucked away at the very end of the plaza. There's plenty of parking around. When you enter, it is very spacious with lots of tables spaced out. The service was great with friendly smiles and frequent check ins throughout our time there. Food: I got the lamb kebab(?). It was seasoned perfectly. The only complaint is that the meat was not super juicy. It was slightly dry. I've had more tender and juicier places in the past. However, the seasoning of everything else like the rice and the grilled veggies was phenomenal. Overall, it was a very solid meal and I would definitely come here again. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Tucked just off Nolensville Pike, it's hiding behind the big U-Haul trucks. I feel blessed that I live in south Nashville where it is a melting pot of some of the best international cuisine in town. Reebar is definitely in the top 3 middle eastern restaurants I have been to in town, and probably in the top 10 in my life. Service: absolutely wonderful! Immediately greeted with a smile and quick and thoughtful recommendations when you have questions. I ordered a bunch of vegan items and a sauce that isn't officially vegan. They made sure to ask if I was vegan so they didn't bring me something outside of my dietary restrictions. I'm not vegan (just love all vegan food) so it was fine... but the fact they asked and checked meant a lot. Food: everything on the menu looks phenomenal, so I'll definitely be back to try other items soon. We got the hummus for the table. Best hummus of my life. When I say smooth, I mean it. Topped with high quality olive oil and it just melted over the warm pita. I also got the tabouleh with falafel and tahini and garlic sauce. Falafel was light and not too heavily fried in oil. Fluffy. Tabouleh was vibrant and fresh. The perfect bite when you combine the two. Others at my table got the chicken shawarma and falafel wraps. Fries were also very well seasoned and the right amount of crispy while being airy in the middle. I really want to try the grape leaves next time! The tables are spaced out perfectly so you aren't sitting on top of your neighbors. Bright and just very welcoming. 10/10. read more

We ordered from this restaurant the lamb kofta. I was a little hesitant because during my visit to Nashville I had some pretty terrible Mediterranean food at a moderately upscale restaurant, but when I tell you this place completely made up for it, it completely made up for it. Everything on my plate was delicious and unforgettable. The lamb kofta was amazing, the taziki sauce was great, and they had this tomato sauce that I've never experienced before that I can't stop thinking about. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. So Good! Highly Recommend!! read more

Great authentic Mediterranean food - ordered takeout and was on time and tasted amazing.

Some of the best, authentic Palestinian food I have had. Everything was excellent. My favorite had to be the lamb chops, they were phenomenal. So tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked. The customer service is exceptional, so friendly and attentive. This is a must try spot if you like middle eastern cuisine. read more

This was a delicious, healthy, authentic Greek dinner. The hummus is absolutely to die for. It's smooth, creamy, flavorful, and you just KNOW it's made by someone real Mediterranean people. I also tried their grape leaves and honestly, was a bit disappointed. The flavor of the filling wasn't enough to counteract the bitterness of the leaves themselves, which I feel is important for this dish. For my main, I got the mixed grill for 1, which came with a bed of rice, a chicken skewer, a lamb kofta skewer, marinated veggies, a tahini sauce, and tzatziki. The tahini sauce was like a cloud of richness (so good), and lamb kofta is always my favorite, and this was no exception. The chicken was good if only a bit dry. Also, the marinated veggies were spicier than I expected, but decent. I ate so much and still felt great after. read more

Jerusalem Reebar - Middle Eastern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Where do I even begin, this place checks all the boxes. I've had some really good Mediterranean food in my life (it's my favorite kind of food) but this was by far the best I've ever had! We ordered the hummus to start and it came out with freshly baked pita that smelled and tasted amazing on its own. The hummus was out of this world!! We ordered 2 of the shish tawook chicken kebab plates and everything was so delicious, the chicken was tender and marinated to perfection and the rice was flavorful and fragrant. The portions were huge too. Just beware of the little green pepper it was super hot! -I should have known. Our server was very friendly and attentive, she jokingly warned us I wouldn't be able to finish my food, man was she right. On my next visit to Nashville I will definitely be coming back here. This place deserves all 5 stars. read more

As a member of Yelp's Elite Squad, I felt it was my organizational duty to make the trek deep into South Nashville to assess Reebar. It's been gathering some smokin' hot ratings online throughout 2024. By its near-unanimous five-star ratings, I predicted a four-star outing at a minimum, even for my judgmental palate since this white guy has eaten the real deal on multiple vacations in the Middle East. So I came in prepared for greatness with the insistence that they had to earn that fifth star. Well, they sure did! South Nashville is overflowing with diverse culinary experiences inspired by everything from the heavy Hispanic and Asian populations to the significant East African and Middle Eastern influences. And the impeccable Palestinian cuisine at Reebar just adds to the lore of the South Side! Driving down Nolensville Road is essentially an eclectic road trip through varying cultures and cuisines, and Reebar is among the southernmost of these experiences. The best Ethiopian food in Nashville is only two miles north of the best Uzbeki food, which is a mile north of the best Egyptian food truck. And that spot is a mere 3,500 feet from Reebar across the street from superior Peruvian and Mexican spots. But it makes its mark among a plethora of options, and this is probably going to be the best Arabic meal you have in the state of Tennessee! For under $50, two people could each order the giant Lamb Shawarma Plate, a bottle of water, share the Jerusalem Appetizer Platter, and be sufficiently stuffed when it's all over. And that's precisely what we did. The moment you take a bite, you'll confirm that everything is made fresh daily! The shawarma is so flavorful like none other I've had in the states. The falafels are pretty tasty. The hummus is very good, ranking nearly as high as Anatolia (Turkish) and OSH (Uzbeki). But the grape leaves and baba ghanouj are exceptional. Even the rice is perfection! Since they were out of the pickle mix when we ordered, the appetizer replacement was this very pure white dip, perhaps a tahini sauce of some sort. It was out of this world! I tossed a bunch of it into my lamb shawarma for an extra special explosion of flavors! I learned that Reebar was opened by Jordanian immigrants, and they sure put the emphasis on quality. Our Egyptian server was certainly the nicest we've ever had at any restaurant. Reebar features a slick website, online ordering for takeout, and availability for catering and parties. Reebar is literally doing everything right and I hope they succeed for a very long time! read more

We were so pleasantly surprised with the delicious food here and the mint lemonade is amazing! I would definitely return just for that drink its so refreshing and unique. All the food is so delicious and seasoned to perfection! Definitely recommend if you want some authentic food. The prices are very reasonable as well. read more

"Picked up hummus and tabouleh from Jerusalem Reebar and both were excellent. The hummus was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. The tabouleh tasted very fresh with a nice balance of parsley, lemon, and olive oil. Portions were generous and everything tasted freshly made. Definitely ordering again." read more

Hidden gem. Spotless dining room with beautiful paintings and pictures. Owner is very warm, welcoming, and professional. Loved everything that we ate from the Jerusalem breakfast platter (my favorite was the labneh) to the eggplant wrap. Kids loved the mango slushi and the French fries. Arabic ice cream was homemade, and a nice way to end the meal, like kulfi but not too sweet. Food is affordable, healthy, and high quality. You feel full and good after eating here! Plenty of parking. Eat here. read more

Absolutely amazing! Every dish was so flavorful. We started with the appetizer platter, the hummus and grape leaves, wow... just wow. Definitely the best I've had in Nashville. Moving to the main course, I had the lamb kebab wrap. The lamb was crispy and flavorful, not overcooked or bland at all! The garlic sauce was a perfect compliment to the lamb. For a drink, I had what the staff recommended, lemon & mint, very flavorful and not overwhelming on the mint flavor. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The staff was so attentive and answered all our questions. I can't wait to come back. read more

There's a few qualifiers that will catch a 5-star rating from me. The one that gets Reebar this rating is taking an ingredient I typically don't like and, not only making it palatable, but making it the best thing on the table. All that said: kibbdeh. That's what does it here. Texture, still liver, but more firm than other livers. But man, oh man, the flavor. A touch sweet of pomegranate; deep but not intense spice (not talking heat spice, but earthy intricateness). The kind of flavor that runs off into the olive oil at the bottom of the plate and requires it be sopped up with anything porous. The chicken and beef/lamb offering was also good. The tabbouleh, exceptional: lots of parsley, spare on the bulgur wheat (ideal), lemony. Great as either a compliment/condiment to the meats or by itself. The piece de resistance: the spicy garlic condiment. It's some sort of mayo amalgam that takes the chicken (and, well, anything) to a kind of savory that is seldom seen in western cuisine. Service is impeccable. It's family run, attentive. I narrowed down the menu to 3 or 4 options and let the waiter take care of the rest. Smartest move I made was letting them do the picking. If you're having a hard time, I recommend letting the food pics scroll by on some of the TVs they have in the dining room and seeing what temps the eye; the staff will be able to tell you what it is that's caught your eye. read more

Yes. I've been twice now. Authentic and tasty. Great family vibe. Good is the best. Baba. Lamb kebabs. Kebeh. Falafel. Yes please

Ok, so as a Middles eastern, i know what real arabic food taste like, im first gen baby, my accent still come out when angry, so the food standard is high, For a place in TN, where no one can cook arabic food, this place is pretty good. The falafel is a bit too fried, too crunchy, i would ease back a min or 2 on that fryer, The knaffeh def disappointing, why is it orange? The Kabsseh, GOD DAMN! Taste fucking amazing, legit had an orgasm (a halal one for some of you weirdos reading this). Like legit amazing. The shawarma, i mean it was good, a bit above ok. I would absolutely come back, the staff was so nice and sweet, make you feel like family. Decoration, i think most arabs lack style, so they are doing their best, maybe they ll re decorate or something, but doesn't matter, food was pretty decent. And it WAS CLEANNNNN! Which is important. read more

So yummy! Fantastic food and nice customer service Everything was absolutely delicious!

Absolutely incredible. I just ordered from here and was so happy I did. For my drink, I ordered the mint and lemon slushy. Phenomenal drink. It'll be even better on a hot summer day. The felafel wrap was tasty and moist - not dry. And I have to say, the French fries were some of the best tasting fries I've had in forever. Can't wait to order again. read more

We intended to have a slow mindful lunch, to better savor the flavors of Israeli cuisine. But our mouths and hands betrayed us because everything was so delicious we had no control! We started with the hummus and bread, followed by the Fatoush accompanied by the lamb shawarma. When I saw the Fatoush, I thought it looked cool, but can it taste as good as it looks? The answer is yes! Mind blown. read more

Hubby has had this place on his list. Glad we finally were able to go. I highly recommend this family-owned restaurant. The ambiance is light & airy. The service (the brother & sister) was awesome. They came by our table several times to make sure we're doing good. When it was slow enough, they even came to just chat with us. The food was delicious & very generous portions. Since they have 3 dessert & there are 3 of us, we were able to taste all. We will definitely be back. read more

This place is fantastic. I used to really love Haji Baba in Tempe, and this has a lot of that ambience except its Palestinian/Israeli (??), and not Lebanese, but they've got a lot of great looking dishes. The place is in immaculate condition. It is very well lit, it is very open, and is in pretty much immaculate condition. The service was superb. There was no wait, we were very quickly seated, they were very personable. The menu was very familiar, and it looked delicious. My oldest has an assignment to eat at a very cross-cultural place, and this was consistent with that, and we're glad we did it. Immediately after we sat down the managers here and I just asked a question about the paintings because there's beautiful paintings all around the dining room, and he's showing my daughter what they are and talking about them. That's a very cool kind of hospitality. The bathrooms have bidet's! Find that in a McDonald's; never gonna happen. Trippy. And now for the individual reviews.... From my sweetie: she got the mixed Shawarma plate, The meat is delicious, I love the garlic sauce, and I love the mint in the salad. From my oldest: tasty but filling. Next: The food is amazing, fries are amazing, the food is very rich. The lemonade slushy was the best. My younger two are three and five right now, so they are not really qualified to evaluate a cross-cultural dining experience. Second youngest: The food is good here (she tasted everything but did not eat her plate) she likes dunking her sister's meat kufta kabob something into garlic sauce. Youngest doesn't really have a review. If I was single I would have been delighted to take my sweetie on a date here. It's a great looking place. Now that I'm old, and live three hours away, taking her on a date here is more challenging. read more

Great service, clean and bright environment, was not too busy on a Friday evening.

Why are there only 5 stars??? This place deserves more. Wonderful flavors and very fresh! All of the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. This is my Syrian husband's favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Nashville (and mine too)! The vibe is very chill and the place is one of our favorites for going out and feeling relaxed and welcome. We especially enjoy the mint lemonade slushy in the summer. It's crazy good. We enjoy all the appetizers and main dishes and we always order some extra things (hummous and kunefe) to take home to my mother-in-law. She loves it too! I sometimes bring kids here and the staff is so sweet to them. They make the kids feel so welcome and happy. It could not be a better place. Oh yes, and we have also used them for catering and it's always perfect. If you have not been there yet, I'm excited for you! Enjoy! read more

THE STAFF APPEARS TO HAVE ISSUES PROVIDING SERVICE TO PEOPLE OF COLOR/ BLACK PEOPLE. I waited in line several minutes (5/10) and watched as both a male and female server passed me multiple times without acknowledging my presence/greeting me. However, there were three more customers that entered the restaurant SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER me; two that were women of European descent, and a male that appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent, that were immediately greeted by the same two servers that passed me multiple times and asked how they could be of service to them. I continued to stand there until one of the cooks (from the service window) made an effort to ask me had I been assisted. It was only then that the same female server that had passed me multiple times came to assist me with my order. I'm not sure if this was a cultural issue or a racial issue, but I'm definitely sure that THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR. While I understand that the restaurant was busy, my issue was not with the wait. My issue was the fact that I was treated as if I were completely invisible for several minutes while others that entered the restaurant AFTER ME that DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ME were IMMEDIATELY tended to regarding their visit. I will never be back nor refer anyone to this restaurant. Very disappointing experience. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Reasonable prices too. The hummus is one of the best that I've had!

AMAZING!!! Yallah! Am from a migrant Iranian family. I had eaten authentic Levantine cuisine in West Iran, and this perfectly replicated my experience. It's authentic as it gets! The food was to die for, the fried nablusi cheese is a bit salty for my tastes, but it's just the nature of the dish. The platter was a great sampler for the strengths of the food. I also loved the limonana slush -- so refreshing! The service was great. They are genuinely so sweet and kind and are a textbook example of west Asian hospitality. While the restaurant is very clean w/ a bit of industrial decor inside, the ambiance is awesome. I love the beautiful murals outside, and the bidet in the bathroom!!! Best restaurant bathroom ever just for the bidet LOL. read more
