I honestly have never had a restaurant prepared meal that was even remotely prepared to this caliber of perfection! Alright here we go.... FOOD: We ordered WAY TOO MUCH, but we wanted to get a full understanding of what they were about, that and the pictures in the menu looked amazing. I always ask for suggestions when I'm trying something new.....And you can always tell when it's a knowledgeable, helpful and caring person by what they recommend....the 4 to 5 gentlemen who took care of us brought us an abundance of delicious and beautifully presented foods, including sides and specialties...we were blown away!! Service was beyond perfect....it really feels like you're hanging out with the family you always kinda wanted...lol! Above and beyond!!! Ambiance is comforting and relaxing not at all pretentious with plenty of room for large groups and families to enjoy together. I base a lot of my opinions about the overall quality of the restaurants that I review on the cleanliness of their restrooms....it's a "basic bottle line" that says everything you need to know about where you could potentially be eating and drinking by doing nothing more than taking a quick trip to the toilet. If it's a mess, LEAVE!! If it's kept up, well stocked and CLEAN, then hug the owner, tell your friends and family to eat there and write a good review because phenomenal places with pristine restrooms like Edessa are becoming a rarity, a thing of the past, a novelty in a new era of nasty, busted and gross establishments serving crap.... Try Edessa, you won't be disappointed!!

When I walked in, I could smell the tea and coffee being made. The coffee was being heated and the…read morearoma felt so nostalgic that I still think about it to this day. I had the classic Kurdish Breakfast along with tea and it was spectacular. There aren't any Kurdish restaurants where I'm from so I just had to come here on a little trip. The decor is beautiful and feels connected to the Kurdish culture and diaspora. There were so many different people and it seems like a great community place. There were cultural imagery of Shahmaran which I think is for luck and strength. Everything about the space was welcoming and open. The furniture was beautiful and comfortable. The lighting was on point and the whole place was very very clean. Okay back to the breakfast! The fried eggs in olive oil in a cute little pan with the sides of a white cheese (not a feta but maybe?), two types of olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, honey, fig jam, walnuts, yogurt and naan. I mean, wow! Take some naan and pick up some eggs with it and add some toms. My fave combo is naan with walnut and then dipped in the honey then using that to scoop a little yogurt. The yogurt was classically Kurdish and had the most flavorful tang. The service was exceptional. I got some honey and dried tea to take back home with me. I also got an iced latte and I still have the cup for memorabilia. Although they would taste better there, it reminds me of one of the best breakfasts I've had in years. (The only thing I regret is not asking for some salt for the tomato and cucumber but the cheese was salty so the balance was there. I just really like salt) Such a great place and I am already making plans to visit again!

It's all family run, our waiter is a senior at Riverdale and was so proud of his grandparents recipes.

In the grocery they had a 15% off everything sale the whole month of September to bless the community.

The food: Kazan Kebab - slow roasted lamb chops served with sliced onions. These were very flavorful and tender. Manti - we ordered beef. Six large dumplings that were served with a yogurt sauce. Delicious. Assorted Dolmas - I'm not normally a fan of dolmas since I'm usually thinking the tart, cold, Greek style. These were warm and like vegetable wrapped dumplings. Kimchi - seems kind of random, but we wanted veggies and this was good kimchi. Chaykhana Pilaf - rice and lamb. Solid. Xinjiang Fried Lagman - hand pulled noodles so they're nice and chewy.

The dumplings and samosas come out really hot, so be careful when they first come out. I liked the flavors and nothing was super strong. The noodles were excellent.

Wish I had the stomach to try some kebabs or the pilaf, but that'll have to be another time. Overall, good food and definitely worth trying if you've never had Uzbek food before.

We arrived at Med Gyro & Shawarma at 11:15. We were the only customers. We ordered a Gyro Bowl, a Chicken Kebab Bowl, a Gyro Wrap, a Chicken Shawarma Wrap, a side of hummus and a side of baba ganoush to go. Both of us tried the bowls there. The man behind the counter was standoffish. Gyro Bowl had a small salad with sour pickled red cabbage, lettuce shreds, a few red onions, and diced tomatoes. There was a bed of turmeric basmati rice and on top was thinly sliced crisped gyro neat. The gyro meat was sliced too thin for me. I don't mind crust on the meat but when put on the flattop sliced thin the meat is tough like jerky. The tzatziki did not have the garlic and dill seasoning I am familiar with. I tasted mint. 3/5 The Chicken Bowl was identical to the Gyro Bowl except with pieces of chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly and delicious. It was served with tzatziki. 5/5 Chicken Shawarma Wrap was filled with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and a few slices of red onion with a small amount of chicken shawarma meat. The man was arguing with someone on the phone and burned the wrap he was warming up. I don't really know if he was arguing as I could not understand the language. His tone and emphasis with words made me think he was arguing. I tasted burnt wrap and didn't enjoy the shawarma. 2/5 The Gyro Wrap was filled with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a few slices of red onion. The Gyro meat wasn't as crispy and the taste came through. 4/5 The hummus was meh. Very bland with chickpea chunks. 2/5 The baba ganoush was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed it. 5/5 The food was ok. I wouldn't drive 2 hours back to eat the foods again. My taste buds look for authentic Gyros and Shawarma and these flavors are not what I am accustomed to. For locals who have never traveled overseas to try the authentic flavors, the foods here might be good but for seasoned travelers they miss the mark. 3/5

We made a special visit to Osh to try them on a weekend trip to Nashville about a month ago. I'd…read moresaved them in my Nashville bookmarks for some time after they received a lot of acclaim on Yelp - I believe at one time they were on a Yelp list of best restaurants in the US. We were certainly excited to try Uzbek food, as there's nowhere that serves it where we live. The restaurant doesn't look like too much from the outside and the parking lot is a little run down. However, the inside is very updated and super clean and comfortable. There's lots of seating, what appears to be a private room in the back, and some high-tech features, like a machine that you can use to alert waitstaff if you need a refill, a to-go box, or any other kind of attention. The bathrooms were also immaculate. Service was a little strange. I wouldn't say it was slow - every time we placed an order or had a request, our food or items were promptly brought out to us. However, the challenge came in getting the attention of our waitresses. Two ladies took care of us, alternating based on availability. One was very nice and friendly, the other a little gruff and irritable-seeming. But both were completely averse to coming in and checking on us without one of us flagging them down. Perhaps they're used to the little machines? I don't like using those because they come across as too demanding; I'd prefer to just be visited and checked in on from time to time by staff. Not so here. Despite not being very busy, our visit took a lot of time, even though the actual food service was fairly quick. Onto the food, the most important part. We ordered a lot because I wanted to experience as many unique dishes as possible. One waitress first brought out a complimentary serving of pita and what I believe was suzma, which the menu describes as a yogurt-based cheese. This was one of the highlights of our meal, actually, as the pita was hot, fresh, and very lightly charred. The suzma went very well with it. Then we ordered a chicken somsa and some Uzbek bread. The chicken somsa was alright; the pastry was delightfully flaky, but for me it was way too onion-forward. The Uzbek bread was another highlight. It was a temperature and textural delight - so warm and fluffy - if not a flavor bomb. It was great to polish off the remaining suzma from our complimentary treat. For entrees, my husband wanted to try the signature osh, while I ordered chicken shashlik. The osh was probably the better of the two but he didn't love it. It was quite greasy and the lamb was on the gamey side. My chicken shashlik had definitely been near charcoal too long; it had an overly-charred, unpleasant chemical-y taste. The accompanying rice had so much butter or oil in it that it was greasy, too, and although that imparted more flavor into it, I felt gross after a couple of bites. Everything was cooked well, just the flavors really didn't quite come together for us on this visit. It's hard for me to believe, given the average outstanding reviews and consistent praise this place gets, that our experience was an average one. Perhaps we just came on an off day or ordered the wrong things for our palates, since we're fairly unfamiliar with this cuisine. I would be willing to try again some day, but sadly our first visit didn't quite wow the way we'd hoped it would. I appreciate the clean and pretty environment and quickly prepared food!
