This review is only for takeout but it was a good experience nonetheless! Placing an order ahead was made simple by the staff who took my call and my food was ready when expected. Upon first glance, the restaurant is clean and staff immediately acknowledged me and informed me my order was on its way out. The food was packaged carefully and traveled home well. The lamb kebab plate was a delight, with moist and flavorful lamb mixed with fresh salad and smooth hummus over rice. The chicken shawarma was equally flavorful and I appreciated the green sauce to help keep the chicken moist. Will come back when craving this cuisine! read more

We didn't mean to come to Middle Eatz, as we had planned to go to Taj but Taj was closing early on New Years Eve. But let me tell you, thank you Taj for closing early! 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. read more

I'm so glad we stopped by Middle Eatz because the food was just amazing. When we entered we were greeted right away and the staff was so patient with us as we took awhile to decide what we wanted. Our waiter even made suggestions and asked us about our preferences so we could make a decision. He was also very attentive to us as we ate. We left with to-go boxes because we just couldn't finish everything. Safe to say portion sizes are generous, or right on par for the price. We didn't try any desserts but most likely will on our next visit because they looked so good. I loved the ambiance of this place, it was very nicely decorated with portraits from countries in the Middle East. I will definitely return in the near future. read more

The food was so delicious! We ordered the Sayyid Platter, and enjoyed every bite. This was my first time trying this type of cuisine and I love it! The service and staff were friendly and helpful. We liked the ambiance and we enjoyed the culture. Highly recommend dining here!! read more

We love this place! Not only is all the food delicious, but every single employee -- and the owners -- are some of the nicest people ever. We come here often and are never disappointed. 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. read more

Excellent service!!!! Food exquisite Ambiance amazing Well done I recently went to Middle Eatz and I just wanted to say thank you for such a great experience.

I have seen this place and wanted to try it. I finally got the chance. I met Jibril (the owner) and he was very friendly and attentive. It was a busy time as it was Ramadan, and their hours were changed. I got a table and the wait staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered the Amir Kabob plate. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. I asked for an evening coffee and they made a special latte for me. Jibril offered a dessert and it was a pistachio dessert that was similar to a cheese cake. Very good! I definitely will be returning often. read more

The food was delicious and came out so quick. Overall a great place to eat! I highly recommend the lemon pepper chicken kebabs.

Prefer to write positive reviews.. lovely place and atmosphere but we spent 70.00 for lLunch for 2. (No desert or drinks) ) for chicken " type entrees with smaller portions. Had the Shawarma Chicken , not sure WHERE the chicken was , as it was mostly charred chicken shavings covered with tasty sauces. We also ordered a soup., salad and pita bread for additional charges. Smaller Portions here as well l So Go and try this place for the atmosphere but definitely do not go there hungry ... read more

We just had a terrific meal at Middle Eatz tonight. What a gem; a real find. A warm, hospitable environment with people that take the time to make you feel welcome and cared for. Gabriel walked us through the menu and allowed us to try different sauces since this was our first time. We tried the Fahsa stew which was rich and satisfying (very comforting) and the Chicken Mendi which was tender and delicious. The sauces are a BIG star in the food line-up. Make sure you try them. They are absolutely delicious. We also tried the unsweetened Yemeni iced tea. Delicious. Hanna stopped to chat with us too and she helped clear our table. She was delightful. One of my favorite things about the restaurant was the very diverse clientele. It's so amazing to see such an international group of men and women eating together. Can't wait to go back. read more

WOW! This place is SO GOOD! The restaurant is very nicely decorated and everyone working there came by to say hello and make sure we were happy. The hospitality here can't be beat! I had the chicken shawarma plate and my husband had the lamb kebabs and both were so flavorful and delicious! Loved everything we ate. The hummus was awesome. Then the owner brought us some bok-noli to try for dessert and that was delicious too! So sad that we are only in town for the weekend or this would be our new favorite spot. We will definitely be telling our Nashville friends to come here. Love it! Good job, Middle Eatz! You knocked our socks off. read more

I'd say it's a simple menu with a great taste. Food comes out really fast and service is pretty good.

Dined in yesterday with my fiancé. This place doses not sell steak shawarma. The bathroom is small, it should be cleaned. Glad they have they have parking. The food was good. Nice attentive server. The food was overpriced. Small portions. Middle Eastern restaurants in Chicago are way better! read more

Y'all!!!!!! THIS place is !!! Their Lamb, the cilantro sauce, the SAMBOOSAS!!!!!! O....M.....G..... Better than any I have had!!!! I hope they decide to make a veggie one that would be awesome! Dip it in that cilantro sauce or in the Zabadi sauce! Lord hammercy!!!! The hummus plate is fabulous!!! The mahalabia is perfection! Masoob is unique and delish!!! I will definitely be trying more of their menu but I'm telling you, every time I go I am pleasantly surprised that something new that I try!! Authentic spices, nice Ambiance on the inside and they are all about excellence! They take pride in their food and excellent service! read more

Not often that I walk out of a new restaurant and text 10 friends to add it to their list. WOW! This place is something special; Even though the plates are familiar for a middle eastern menu: lamb kabob, chicken shawarma, falafel, the flavors are Exceptional! The Yemeni dishes are sooo good, worth trying them all. But the best thing - the folks working there! Everyone is super friendly, helpful and working hard. The all deserve to have this restaurant become a Nashville staple and burst in popularity. ... of and btw... don't walk out without trying their pistachio cheesecake. I will be back very soon! And if I texted your to tell you about it, don't delay. Go! read more

Honestly probably some of the best food I've had in Nashville. The stew is hardy and filling. All the staff is very friendly and willing to help you understand the menu. I had a wonderful first visit and welcoming environment. Ordered: Selta $19.99 Socials: The Hungry Wonderland read more

The staff was super friendly, the place was clean and welcoming, and the food is absolutely incredible! I got the lamb mandi with the salad, and the portions are great!

Will definitely be coming back! read more

My husband and I just stumbled across this place by pure luck. It's off Harding Place and Nolensville Rd in Antioch. I had the hummus plate with falafel and tabooli (it also came with a side of pita). My husband had the chicken mendi. The owners came by and talked to us; such a nice family. They told us about their culture and how the food is prepared. Fascinating! They asked us if we wanted dessert and said they were trying out a new recipe called pistachio cheesecake. Of course we had to try it! I just sat and shook my head in disbelief with every bite. So. So. Good. The place is extremely clean and I love the traditional booths that are closed in and intimate. I told the owner that I would put this place up against any restaurant in NYC. And if I were Paul Hollywood, he'd be getting a handshake. Restaurant experiences like this is why I still love leaving Yelp reviews! read more

If you want great Mediterranean food look nowhere else. This is the place to go. Family owned and operated that sticks to their roots and heritage. Middle eatz is the place to EAT! read more

The top middle eastern food restaurant in Nashville and we've tried them all. We bring all family and friends who come to visit. Really fun family style seating for larger groups. The kabobs are so well flavored and juicy, we love the lemon pepper chicken kabob but the sayyid platter is just as good. Their chicken Mehndi dish, a chefs kiss! The chicken just falls off the bone and the rice that comes with it is to die for. My kids eat it for days. The portion sizes are really large. Their sahowka spicy sauce is amazing with the meat dishes, fresh, tangy, and mildly spicy. We also get the hummus and cabbage pickles which is such an experience of flavors all together and comes out with warm pita bread. Their falafel is really good as well. We've tried all the desserts which were just as amazing as the main dishes but the masoob is definitely an experience that leaves you craving your next visit and I'm not typically a dessert person. I would even come just for this dessert and tea experience. The service is so great, everyone is so warm and welcoming, they truly make you feel like family. We never leave disappointed. Amazing food, amazing experience, amazing people. If you haven't tried this place put it on your Nashville list. read more

Wow, the food here is amazing! Everyone who works there met us with a smile even though we were cutting it close to closing time. They still accommodated us and were happy to do so. Such a rare find, will definitely have to make the hour drive to come back for a wrap! read more

What a great find! If I lived nearby, I'd eat here all the time!! (probably embarrassingly frequently) The woman at the counter was so kind and friendly, and helpful as I ordered. I like the variety and options- including the option to get hummus instead of rice and your choice of salad / condiment. Everything was fresh and very flavorful - and I didn't get indigestion like I do after many restaurants (my measure of ingredient quality as I get older). The prices were reasonable for the flavor, quality, and serving sizes. read more

Really good food and super friendly staff! I was only in town for a couple of days, but I'm glad I stopped by. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the flavors were spot on. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Nashville! read more

The food is perfect thank you guys amazing 5 thank you for give us food. It's amazing Hamdullah.

Everytime I've been here the food was excellent the service was excellent the restaurant is clean. I really enjoyed the arabic style seating . Foods I've had. The Chicken Mendi is so tender that it falls off the bone and flavors are just perfect. The Lamb Mendi so tender and juicy it wasn't dry slow cooked to perfection. The hummus is the best I've ever had . Falafel here are amazing. Don't sleep on the burger you wont regret it. Sweets I've had. Cookie-Butter Cheesecake is delicious . Dubai Brownie is delicious. Mahalabia is so light and fluffy it goes great after a heavy meal. Then there's the Masoob...... try it yourself and be prepared for a world infusion of flavors and textures. read more

A good halfway meeting point with a friend between Brentwood on Belle Meade. Easy parking in a new strip mall area. We ordered at the counter and then our food was brought to us. Decided to sit in one of the traditional booth type tables that was lower to the floor with comfortable cushion seats. The pictures on the wall of Yemen, Jordan, Abu Dhabi and other countries are lovely and large. Now on to the food. The falafel bowl was excellent - too much for each of us to finish. Plenty of rice with humus and other vegetables. The falafel themselves were crispy and tasty. When we were leaving one of the owners asked us to try the baklava - I need to just say - order it. So delicious. read more

10 outta 10!!!!!!! So delicious, our second time here. THE CHEESECAKE WAS TO DIE FOR. Also such a cute spot to meet up with a couple of friends at even if it's just for tea and dessert. Casual but great food. Food doesn't take long. Great customer service. Very warm. Will be back. read more

I just had lunch at Middle Eatz this afternoon with my wife, son and the two daughters of our friends. We stopped for a quick meal on our way back from the airport having never been there before. We did not know what to expect but I can say we were totally blown away by the quality of the food and service. Our lunch was wonderful! Gabriel, one of the owners, stopped by our table to check on us and told us how the restaurant got started which is a great story. He told of how his family started the restaurant as a result of a job change during Covid and how they make his family recipes. We were made to feel welcome and appreciated for coming to the restaurant. Overall we had a great experience and committed to coming back for dinner very soon. I urge you to come to Middle Eatz and support this wonderful restaurant and family business. read more
