Very friendly service and the food was fantastic. A great spot to stop in south nashville area with a patio to enjoy your food

Exquisite. We came for a late lunch on my birthday with no expectations or really any understanding of what we were about to experience. What we got was a stunningly presented melange of flavors and colors. We were greeted by a kind and gracious employee and our order was taken by the owner, Rocky. We got the Falafel "Meat and Three" on rice/salad with hummus, baba ghanoush, and cucumber yogurt sauce and the beef shawarma "meat and three" on salad with spicy tomatoes, hummus, and cucumber yogurt sauce - both came with pita bread. We were dazzled by the painting on our plates - the bright fuchsia of the salad, the black sesame seeds in contrast to the cloud of yogurt, the vibrant greens of the veggies, and the pop of saffron yellow rice. The flavors matched and even eclipsed the visual. This was hands down the best meal we've had in Nashville to date (since 2013!) We were generously treated to their mint lemonade (MUST!) and baklava to crown the meal. Both jewels. The best part though was making a new friend in Rocky, who delighted us with conversation. We learned this food treasure recently grew from a food truck to the darling cafe and patio we experienced today. We can't wait to go back! read more

What an amazing and casual spot to enjoy a delicious meal at! The food truck is located at the back of the parking lot with covered outdoor seating right next door. The staff is so nice, answering all our questions. I got the harissa chicken bowl and wow, it was packed with flavor from the first bite to the last. I paired it with the mint lemonade, which is such a refreshing drink anytime of the year! I can't wait to go back and try more on the menu! read more

Service and food were both above incredible. What they call a sandwich is so big you have to "start" it before you can fold it, and the taste - WOW!! Can hardly wait to go back read more

The staff is so friendly and nice here. The outdoor seating is convenient especially for dog people who like bringing their companion with them! It's covered and feels somewhat private which is nice since the area doesn't have the best views if you know what I mean. The chicken shawarma and the gyro bowls are our favorites. The gyro meat is thicker than a lot of other places, making it truly stand out. The pita and hummus is our go to appetizers. Hummus made fresh and is perfect for sharing. read more

King Tut's is a great gem for casual eats! It is a food truck that is located in a parking lot, so it can be easy to miss. There is a little patio where people can eat their food. The menu is not that extensive, but I feel like it has the core options for popular Middle Eastern dishes. The service was pretty quick since this was a fairly relaxed spot. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma and it was delicious! The pita paired well with the chicken, which was marinated extremely well. I also got a side of seasoned Fries that were good! I added some of the fries into the shawarma and it tasted magical. I would definitely come back here! read more

Amazing. I wish I thought to take pictures before I ate. But it was delish and I got carried away. The owners are so sweet and the food was amazing. I only wish we hadn't waited so long to visit. Can't wait to go back and try some appetizers. And the lemonade. Not at all what I was expecting. But so good. read more

This is the perfect place if you're looking for tasty, authentic Egyptian food with a family-run vibe to it. The food was really good! Went with the Kofta (beef and lamb) Bowl, Chicken Shawarma Sandwich with a side of hummus and pharaoh fries. So yummy! and the portion sizes were appropriate. I asked for the hot sauce and it gave the right amount of kick. Try the Mint Lemonade it's SO fresh! Service absolutely was the highlight, the moment you step inside they treat you like you walked into their home and will do everything to ensure you're taken care. Loved visiting and can't wait to return to try something else on the menu. read more

Surprisingly good for a food truck experience. Easy to miss their location. Seating is such that I'd suggest take away. Nice flavor though.

We were visiting in Nashville. My son did his diligent research and after an evening at the zoo we went to King Tuts for a bite to eat. I had a falafel sandwich. It was fantastic. The falafel was probably the best I have had. It was on fresh pita bread with tomatoes and cucumber sauce. My wife and son had beef and lamb bowls which were also delicious. Good food and good value! read more

I once again tried King Tuts after two months and this time I visited the restaurant. So turns out, King Tuts is a food truck with a small sitting area adjacent to the truck. The place is not very high on decor and has minimal seating options, so getting a take out might seem like a better option. Although the menu isn't very elaborate, it still offers a handful of option in entree and mains. The appetizer with fried eggplant with lemon Tahini and Chermoula came with a side of Lollo Rosso lettuce and crisp pita. At first, I admit being a little disappointed because visually it did not look as great as it sounded in the description of the menu BUT it was very very delicious! Apart from the zesty, nutty and very creamy Tahini, the eggplant were fried and slathered with herby chermoula. The falafel open sandwich is my favorite. The falafels are super crispy but not oily. It comes with the softest thick pita which absorbs the tahini but isn't soggy. It is further generously loaded with fresh & pickled vegetables, feta and lettuce that add both texture and flavor. The raw vegetables were quite fresh as they retained their crunch. The chicken shawarma is also quite nice! The chicken is perfectly cooked until succulent and also well seasoned. What I'd like to highlight is - King Tuts also caters to diners with vegetarian or plant based diet! The portion sizes are sufficient for an individual and the take out package retains the sandwiches as they are, while preventing them from disintegrating. I also took a glimpse of the kitchen and it was quite clean and seemed very hygienic. They also have free parking spaces near the food truck. In all King Tuts is very reasonable and offers great food, it is a must try! read more

You all know that King Tuts was featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives, right? For good reason: the food is phenomenal. I personally found the prices a bit high at face value when checking out the menu, but most plates are made to share. Particularly, you should definitely get the mezze plate to split with your friends: people will be ooh-ing over the pickle cabbage, pickled carrots, pickled cauliflower, tahini-rich hummus, falafel goodness, and fresh bread, YUM. We got the falafel waffle which came loaded with tahini, yogurt, onions, and pickled cabbage. Everything was tasty, fresh, and healthy. No guilt when you dine here! The service was leisurely, but it was perfect for a group chatting on the weekend. There's only one or two people working in the kitchen food truck, so do be patient. It'll be worth the wait. There's plenty of outdoor seating in a shaded patio with huge fans. The parking situation is a lot with some spaces. We didn't have any trouble finding a spot on a Saturday. Next time, we'll definitely be trying both the lamb gyros and the chicken shawarma. read more

Featured on Diner's, Drive-Ins, and Dives, this casual food truck offers authentic Egyptian food. The service was speedy. It was a hot day, and the staff encouraged me to wait inside their air conditioned dining room adjacent to the food truck for my to-go order. The ambiance is nothing too fancy, but the food was delicious and presented pleasantly. I orders the falafel sandwich, and I was surprised at how fresh the vegetable toppings were. I will definitely be back! read more

King Tuts - Falafel - Food Trucks Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I had been wanting to try King Tuts for the longest time but am never in that part of the city. Today was my lucky day to get my lunch at King Tuts! Big thanks to Googlemaps for helping me locate this food truck/restaurant. It is tucked away in the back of a parking lot, so it's easy to miss when driving by. You order at the food truck window outside and can either take your food to go, eat inside or eat in the back patio. The woman who greeted me was very polite and friendly. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate. I asked her if I could get some pita bread and I think she did not understand what I was saying. I dropped it. I don't need the calories. My food was really good and even though my food was to-go, the presentation was still pretty. There was a bed of rice (thankfully not a mountain of rice), some mixed greens, chicken, sauce and some veggies. There was not a menu with any descriptions, so I am not exactly sure what was on my entree but it was delicious. The chicken was moist, tender and full of flavor. The entire plate was well-seasoned and did not require any additional salt or spice. I can't wait to go back and take my husband to try the food. So good! read more

Food is scrumptious. Whenever I'm in town this place is a must. Great ambiance and many options for sitting (indoor & back patio). Owner is so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend coming out and trying amazing food. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but they have options for those who are. I promise it won't disappoint. read more

We loved our lunch at King Tuts. My husband got the Harissa Chicken bowl and I got the Royale plate. So much food and the flavors were delicious. I was able to hold the tomato and onions that are on their Egyptian salad which was appreciated! The fried eggplant was very unique and that sauce with the pita bread was amazing. Loved sitting in the open air patio and also think the food would hold up well if you got it to go. read more

Amazing. Got their fries with the seasoning which was so dank. I'd eat thezeall day if i could and my wife wouldn't call me fat. Got the chicken sandwich too and it was amazing the sauce on that thing is insane. Yall if you still haven't tried this place... GO and try it please! You will thank me later. read more

Easily the best Mediterranean in the entire state of Tennessee. Do not hesitate to eat everything you can get your mouth on here - but check the hours first as they do take a midday siesta and are typically closed on Sundays (for now at least). Wildly delicious and perfectly-executed Falafel. Intensely crunchy and wholesome on the outside, and fluffy (not mushy at all) on the inside! If need be, I'm confident these Falafel would survive a 30-min DoorDash ride no problem. Remember to ask for the homemade hot sauce. The Mezze platter presentation is fantastic (a long, oblong tray with all of the components beautifully laid out laterally) and is totally inspired. This is a menu item that not only provides a good value, but a memorable dining experience. From the crudité-style eggplant to the oven toasted pita, flanked by tasty & tangy pickled veggies and seasoned with sumac and za'atar spice - to replicate this at home would be one very long session in the kitchen. I say leave it to King Tuts! And I love what they have done with the patio space. The generous array of electric fans blowing from all directions is very practical with regards to effectively shooing away any flies and biting insects that tend to plague virtually all Nashville restaurant patios during the summer months. I love this - countless other Nashville restauranteurs could learn a thing or three from King Tuts! If I heard this correctly from the owner, on Fridays & Saturdays King Tuts is BYOB. Not sure why just Fri & Sat, but sounds good to me. When we were there on a Thursday for lunch, all they had beverage-wise were iced down coolers of Coca-Cola products and bottled water. read more

King Tuts - Mezze platter ($17) and extra side of Falafel ($7) - Food Trucks Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

There couldn't possibly be a hidden gem in Nashville that is more hidden than King Tut's. The South Nashville area is brimming with a thriving immigrant population, and foodies reap the benefits of this with countless international restaurants. And the only way to find the jewels - like King Tut's - amongst a sea of great eateries is for us Yelpers to sniff them out and sing their praises on this platform. Not only is there stiff competition in this part of town, but King Tut's is completely hidden in a food truck parked at the back of a plaza that doesn't even have a name. It's literally hiding, but we found it for you and it is certainly a "must eat" in Music City! The chicken shawarma sandwich is amazing! The slow-grilled chicken is plentiful amidst lettuce, fresh-cut tomatoes and cucumbers, red onions and even tasty bits of cilantro all topped with seasoned fries. This rich bounty sits atop pita bread so wonderful it must be made on site and not store bought. The chicken itself is pretty good, and the fries are pretty tasty. But eat some of the sandwich to reduce it by about 25% and it becomes a foldable masterpiece. You bring that pita bread together, with the fries inside, and the orange sauce from the spicy marinated chicken blends with the neutrality of the white yogurt sauce to create magic! The flavors are beautiful! The falafel sandwich is also delicious, with six deep-fried fritters on a bed of fresh ingredients similar to the chicken sandwich, and even some pickled veggies as well. In 2022, hours are now 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (which haven't been updated on Yelp yet, but I've tried twice). Look for King Tut's on the east side of Nolensville Road just south of the Orkin sign at the back of the strip mall across from Quality Cars. It's amazing! read more

Loved the vibes here. You order from the truck and then proceed to the outdoor dining area on an adjacent porch that has plants and nice table seating. The business is family owned! I think the wife (?) of the chef took our order and was super friendly. The highlight of this wonderful experience was definitely the food though. We got the Royal platter which had all three protein (falafel, gyro, chicken) options + veggies + veggies. Phenomenal. So well spiced and flavorful. I had half of it for leftovers the next day, and it was still amazing microwaved. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

This place is awesome!!! Just moved to Nashville and found this place. The food is amazing. The chicken Swama is perfection. The falaefl was really good. The hummus was great. I got the Pharaoh fries and they had some seasoning on it. And I don't know what it was but it was spicy and amazing. The service was perfect. The owner is a great guy. Will be here again. read more

I had the chicken Shawarma when I went to Rocky's King Tuts. It's my go to dish when I go to visit his sit down restaurant. I had the baklava for dessert and one of his specialty drinks with the meal. Rocky's Food Truck was one that I never passed by when I saw him out on the road ending and it felt like old times seeing that the truck was still in use in a very unique way at his sit down restaurant! read more

Very good food, but also very expensive. I ordered pickup and it was ready by the time I got there. I enjoyed the chicken shawarma plate, I did not enjoy paying $19 for it. read more

This is my 73rd stop for a Diners Drive Ins and Dives! This place was GOOD, my number 1 for Mediterranean food! We got the mezze platter Homemade Hummus & Pita, Fried Eggplant with Tahini Sauce, Mixed Pickles, Pink sour slaw & Falafel with chicken and of course we had to have the falafel waffle! Everything we had was full of flavor! The falafel waffle is one of the best single items I've ever had from a DDD! I'd eat here again in a heartbeat. Staff was super nice and helpful! Glad I went here, can't wait to try in the summer! read more

A friend took me here, tried the falafel appetizer and a gyro plate without rice (aka salad with gyro on top). Short menu which is usually a good sign. Falafel was perfectly fried outside, good flavors, served with tahini sauce. Gyro wasn't sliced gyro but chunk of gyro, and the outside was slightly crispy. Salad, tomatoes, cucumbers all fresh, good sauces on top. Their hot sauce is awesome, actually spicy but with flavor at the same time. I really enjoyed it! Prices are a bit high for the amount of food, and also there were mosquitoes in their outdoor eating area which I didn't appreciate at all. Otherwise, good food! read more

The most delicious food and cool vibes ever!! Run as fast as you can and be sure to get the mint, ginger lemonade w whatever you order. Excellent on every front! read more

King Tug's is the epitome of a hidden gem. Nestled nearly out of sight from the main road this food truck is dishing out some real Mediterranean cuisine. The talk of the town here is the falafel which absolutely delivered, crunchy and well seasoned these were by far the best falafel I've had in Nashville. Don't stop there though, the chicken and gyro meat were juicy, savory and piled high on top of rice and then slathered in the house sauce. A+ all around, make sure to stop by here and take advantage of their great patio seating as well. read more

Great food. Great service. Lovely patio. Kid-friendly. We had chicken shawarma, gyro, falafel and fries. Will be one of our go-to post-Zoo spots read more

Drive to the back of a driveway to find the food truck. I think I was the first order of the day and he was still setting up. Ordered and waited on the covered patio. My portion was large and more then I could handle. Midway through the meal the owner comes over with what I'll call a cone of goodness for me to sample. Flavors are extreme, but very good. A must try read more

Looking for the best Egyptian food in Nashville? Look no further. This hidden gem off Nolensville Pike has the best falafel in town, hands down. I love coming here for the royal plate, which includes chicken, falafel, and gyro meat - the best of the best! The food is ultra garlicky and seasoned, which I love, and the portions are huge. The fries are also a great side item (but I can never say no to fries). Although they are a food truck, they have a great covered patio to sit and eat at. Their hours can be odd sometimes, so just check before going! read more

Second trip. Came back with my sons and a friend. We sat on the outside terrace which was delightful. This time we shared the Mezze platter. My son had french fries. Even though they didn't have ketchup, they were seasoned perfectly and tasted great. My friend who is not vegetarian had the chicken schwarma sandwich which she said tasted amazing. We ended up getting a bunch of falafel sandwiches for my family for takeout, which they devoured with within half an hour. This is truly the greatest place in Nashville to go for Mediterranean food. Such kind people, authentic food, and wonderful service. Please go and support them so they can start doing dinner service again. read more

I did a ton of research before coming into Nashville for our annual vacation and when I saw that there was a food truck festival every Thursday we HAD TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE. we did a walk through before deciding what we wanted and when I saw lamb gyro there was no doubt that was for us.

Best Gyro ever. I've had King Tuts in the past, and it's always been consistently good! But tonight, I had their Lamb Gyro Salad for the first time. For an extra $1, I got my salad topped with feta...so worth it. This was maybe the best Gyro I've ever had. The meat was tender and flavorful. The cheese, the sauce, the fresh veggies.. it was a party in my mouth. They were very generous with ALL the toppings and didn't skimp in the least. I walked away feeling oh so satisfied, and with a very full, happy belly. Well worth the $12. Only thing that could have made it more amazing is if there had been some tabbouleh!! read more

King Tuts - Lamb Gyro Salad - Food Trucks Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Trust me, King Tut's is a MUST TRY. I run a food tour of immigrant owned restaurants along Nolensville Pike (Nashville Hidden Gems), and King Tut's is probably my favorite. Some of the crispiest, fluffiest, most flavorful falafel I've ever had. I'm Arab so you know this falafel review is valid! Don't be fooled by the fact that this is a food truck. It is some of the best food you can find anywhere in Nashville. At the price point, it is truly unmatched for such tasty food prepared with fresh ingredients. Chef Ragab has been serving authentic flavors from the Nile Valley of Southern Egypt to Nashville for seven years now. His food truck is permanently located on Nolensville Pike now, where he is in the process of opening a restaurant for in door dining. For now, you can order from King Tut's for carryout or eat at their beautiful outdoor patio, Thursday-Sunday 4-8 PM. Him and his business partner Wael are so hospitable and humorous. If you want to try authentic middle eastern flavors, look nowhere else. read more

I just wanted to update my review but as always King Tut's is the best! Amazing fresh food all the time. I highly recommend them to everyone. This is a place that you don't want to miss out on. For years, I always spoke about King Tut's food truck to my family (as I ate there frequently when I worked dowtown) and tonight I finally ordered a family meal to go from their brick and mortar location. Everyone loved it and there was still so much food leftover. I placed an order to feed 10 people and they put it all in this giant foil pan. It was all ready to go once I got there and they even assisted me in carrying out the tray. We will definitely be ordering again since everyone loved the food. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. A must eat in Nashville! read more
