I've heard for years about how great this place is still. I supported early on and it lost its…read moreflavor but tonight. NEVER WILL I EVER COME BACK. The waitress was lack luster in personality, we sat down asked for hummus and the young guy with long hair on staff said they didn't have change for a $20 so a 7.99 hummus turned into a 20 dollar bill when he never brought back the $5 my friend said just to bring back as a tip. Then my mom's hummus lamb plate had a clump of hair in the hummus. The staff, "would you like us to remake it or a refund" no I'm sorry not anything to remedy the situation. Between the 5 of us with to go plates was nearly $130 ish. I'm so disappointed and know the owner would be upset with how his staff handled this. My chicken saaj bowl also was lack luster in flavor, I go to another Mediterranean place locally that is way way way more flavor. Hope the owner has a talk with his team about back of the kitchen etiquette so there isn't food in other people's food.

Expected a better food experience from a place that has above 4 stars on yelp and the cost/dish. Ordered Beef Schwarma. While the flavors were good, the cuts of beef were not great. Didn't love it.

Anatolia Turkish restaurant is a tucked away little gem (also a hidden gem nearby is Sonobana sushi…read morebut different story.) I can't speak to the authenticity of the Turkish cuisine here, but I can speak to the food quality. Starting off is a beautiful focaccia loaf with a mix of light spices and olive oil. It's odd to say bread is relaxing and refreshing but here it is. The hummus is quite the same, lightly spiced but bright and refreshing. The ezme is interesting. To me it resembles a Turkish version of chips and salsa, very tomato forward but lightly spiced. Only complaint of the meal for me was the lamb kabobs. I am notorious for over seasoning things, and that is simply how my palette is. The lamb was cooked perfectly, not dried out and moist, however I would've liked a little more seasoning. The Billur kabob has been a repeat favorite of mine over the years. The combination of sautéed eggplant, pashamal sauce and onions/peppers/mushrooms creates an explosion of varying textures and tastes. Everything sort of melds together perfectly once it's cooked on the stone oven and becomes a cohesive entree better than the sum of its parts. The servers are always very attentive, respectful and knowledgeable about the menu. When I first started coming here they always had fantastic recommendations. All in all this has been and continues to be a delicious meal no matter what I have ordered here.

This family owned Lebanese bistro is located on 12 South. They serve classic Lebanese dishes like…read moreGrape Leaves, Charred Eggplant, Soups, Salads, Lamb, Hummus, Za'atar, Shawarma, Tawook, Fish Tacos and more. 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!!

They had a nice wine list and good cocktail selection. Service was super friendly too. I just think the food was okay, especially for the prices. The portions of meat were a little small considering the entrees were $30+. I also wasn't very impressed by the pita and hummus. I'd like to go back and try some other items!

Dining experience! Lyra was recommended to us by a Nashville native, and I am always more than…read morehappy to make my way over to East Nashville for some good food and a local business. 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.

Decided to give it another try and probably won't go back. I think I'll give 4 stars because it's probably some people's favorite place but I'd probably rank it lower. Was good but honestly boring. I can get the same meal but better up the street on Gallatin with more decor, great staff, and more reasonable prices. It was pretty slow even with only a few tables taken on a week night. The explanation of the menu items wasn't clear even after asking (I don't think the staff member was fully knowledgeable on the ingredients) so we just picked what sounded okay and went with it.

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. 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.
