Latte! - A person holds a coffee cup with a black lid inside a car, with a rural road and leafless trees visible through the windshield.

They are always sooo friendly in here. Been going here for forever and noticed the lower reviews and had to add a positive one. They have great coffee with tons of options + good food. It's always such a good vibe though there, as well! Support a local business:)

Such a nice facility and vibe for breakfast after church on a Sunday. The service was great and fast delivery. I ordered the Mexican Omelette, it was a large portion. But, it was not seasoned, it had several peppers and chorizo inside but no seasoning on the eggs. I was fairly surprised. The bread had no butter or jelly to go on them. After eating we noticed the mold inside of the hotsauce, this was the turning point.

Menu with great selection

As you can see by the photos that the ambiance is amazing! This place made me feel at home as I'm an eclectic person as well. Grew up with a large family...nothing matched and was plenty of room for more. This place also gad a feeling that when you walk in alone, you are not alone. It's not a yuppy place but the vibe is sorta Woodstock and does have very young clientele who are very friendly and very helpful. This was my first time here. I actually was parked in front of another coffee house but this one popped up on Yelp. I'm glad I went. I ride motorcycle as well and know a few groups that would live this place. The parking lot has plenty of space, is handicap accessible and has a nice, cute little outside seating area. I don't get in the area often but I will definitely be back. Signed up for promos. Thank you, Mama's Java Cafe'

The staff is so sweet. I like that they have gluten free options. The weekends may be super busy, so keep that in mind if you're in a hurry.

There are regular seated tables as well as cute floor seating with cushions! Plenty of parking in the lot in front. This cute Turkish spot has an amazing spread of food (vegetarian friendly) for group sharing. The spreads come with different sizing depending on how many are in your group + options of mains. I absolutely DEVOURED every item on the plates. We also got the tea pot, which is a concentrate you can water down to your liking.

Ordered the TashTea for 3 and then a few other things and were absolutely blown away. The menemem and the potato börek were favorites at the table and it was so fun to mix sauces and try different combinations. The floor seating is really comfortable but if you have lower back issues definitely recommend a normal table. The staff was kind but service was quite slow. I enjoyed how knowledgeable the staff was ! Reservations are not necessary. Their online system doesn't work. You can call and make a reservation but on a Saturday morning there were still plenty of tables. Be prepared to be here a while, this was not a quick in & out breakfast. Perfect spot for catching up with friends & taking your time to enjoy some really really good food.

Absolutely the smoothest, fresh made hummus I've had in TN & the pitas tasted fresh too. Chicken swarma wrap was a great lunch bite. The menu wasn't available on their QR code/website, nor did they have any physical menu's to provide full scope and explanation of options which is a huge detriment to someone walking in first time. Because the food isn't Taziki's or other Gyro places that you encounter on a "Mediterranean" search here, they really need to address that. Staff is nice but alittle passive, & it is hard to know what options to ask them without any point of reference other than the few popular items listed on a board by name only. I even checked here, which doesn't have their full line up either. But - if you are adventurous, definitely give this a go! Small but not tight in seating; clean and cute cafe set up.

Delicious and authentic Persian food! There is a kebab or mix plate here for everyone - carnivores,…read morepescatarians and vegetarians alike! 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.

House of Kabob is a well-known Persian restaurant in South Nashville quite popular with the diverse…read morelocal population. They maintain an impressively enormous menu with just about every style of kabob on the planet! They also serve lamb shanks, gyros, and falafel among other options. The lamb is extraordinarily tender and pretty tasty, although the flavor isn't nearly as good as the best I've eaten in the Middle East. But I have unfairly high standards as a world traveler. The beef dishes are very good too, but again, not the best I've had. The service is fantastic with welcoming employees who make you feel right at home. House of Kabob is a worthy stop if you love Persian cuisine.

Super friendly staff who was very patient with me. I had absolutely no clue what I was going in…read morethere to order. A tik tok review sent me here, so I needed to give it a try. I ordered 2 gyro sandweech (spelt that way on purpose) and 1 white meat chicken sandweech (all had same toppings) with a side of white sauce and an herb sauce. I did a build your own, which allowed you to choose which toppings you wanted. I also got them toasted, but there is a name for the process that makes them toastier. Just ask for it to be extra toasty, they'll know what to do. My toppings: protein of choice, feta, lettuce, onion, tomato, Mediterranean ranch, black olives, rice, and tabbouleh! It looks small from the outside but, there is seating within for you to actually enjoy the experience of eating in. I must say I enjoyed the white chicken sandweech a lot more than the gyro. The chicken was seasoned so well to where it elevated the entire wrap. Will most definitely get the white meat chicken again. Gyro 4/5 Chicken 10/5 lol For all 3 wraps and the two side 2oz sauces, I paid $48. I guess I should've paid attention to the pricing, but it's devoured now. They do special deals on certain days for $9.99 which includes a drink. Monday: some sort of bowl and drink. Tuesday: sandweech, side of fries and drink. Go on a Tuesday! It's cheaper if a sandweech is what you want.

The hummus is the best we've ever had, the chicken shawarma is amazing, and even the burger is spectacular (who would've thought?). Even if you don't think you like Middle Eastern food, don't worry -- I didn't either at first, but I guarantee you'll find something you love. The owners are always happy to help you choose. 10/10 recommend! My only complaint is that they're closed on Tuesdays.

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.
