Chicken Shish Kabob
Alex B.

Great service, great food, and great atmosphere. Delicious seasoning and large portions. Plates are definitely enough to split. The lamb was delicious and perfectly cooked. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. The hummus was very tasty. Garlic bread was really good and very unique to a Greek menu. Kid options available also. Seating for large parties available and family friendly.

Neat silverware wallet

What a nice surprise! Another great food option nearby. I had the mixed plate, my wife the salmon and mom in law the 2 kabob plate. For mine, I ranked the lamb chop 1st, followed by lamb kabob, followed by ground lamb, and lastly the chicken kabob. Rice was great and cooked perfectly. Wife loved her salmon and commented on the crispy pieces as being yummy. Manager came around and asked how service and meals were. This needs to happen more at other restaurants. I will return for sure. Clean and lots of parking. It's tucked back a little but right next to the Christmas store.

This is my favorite place for Mediterranean food, hands down!! My good is always good and the service is always great!!! I am a huge fan!!

Greek salad with lamb
Jessica M.

I met up with a few girlfriends here for dinner at their suggestion. I arrived first and was seated right away, which was a great start. I'll admit Greek food isn't usually my go-to--I tend to stick with gyros when I do have it--but unfortunately, those weren't on the dinner menu. I ended up ordering a Greek salad with added lamb and a tea. The salad was fresh and flavorful, but it felt a bit overpriced at just over $20. It also leaned more toward a pico de gallo style than what I typically expect from a salad, which left me a little underwhelmed. That said, my friends thoroughly enjoyed their meals and had nothing but good things to say. While it may not be a spot I'd personally return to based on my preferences, it's clearly a favorite for others.

Adana Kabobs
Eric D.

I'm so happy we stumbled upon this restaurant! We were exploring the Mt. Juliet area and were starving. While doing some shopping, we asked someone where we should go to eat and they recommended Tholos. We got there right as another table was leaving, so we didn't have to wait long till we got seated. The aromas that hit us in the dining room were the first indication that we were in for a treat. We started with a hummus plate and that was so delicious, we asked for extra pita bread so we could savor the flavors even longer. Everything on the menu looked amazing and I couldn't choose what to order, so I asked the waiter and he recommended the Adana Kabobs because they were his favorite. Let me just say, I can see why! They were juicy, tender, packed with flavor, and perfectly spiced. They had a little kick at the end, but that just helps to keep things interesting. They were great with their Tzatziki and rice. I wish we lived closer so that we could go all the time. We'll have to go back next time we're in the area.

Lentil Soup (Turkish)
Steve K.

Our gang of 4 enjoyed dine-in lunch at Tholos Mediterranean Restaurant. Earlier, we had only used takeout. I now prefer dine-in based on presentation, portion size, and freshness. Warm, friendly and attentive staff who took the time to explain Tholos' version of Lentil Soup. I single out Lentil Soup that's actually Kurkish Lentil Soup made with Red Lentils and various spices. Most delightful. Also enjoyed Lamb Shish Kabobs cooked medium-rare as ordered with mixed salad, rice and grilled veggies. Enjoyed Spinach Spanakopita appetizer. Others tried Chicken Gyro Wrap, Coban Kavurma, and Falafel Wrap. Right off N Mount Juliet in the Charlie's Place commercial center hidden behind Dunkin' Donuts. Private parking lot. Will return

Sampler appetizer mixed kabob
Jay E.

The food was absolutely amazing. Juicy tender steak and chicken, light and fluffy rice perfectly cooked. Best hummus in nashville perfectly prepared. The spanakopita was amazing. We loved everything we tried, it was all hot and fresh. The server was so friendly and so helpful and made good recommendations for us. Can't wait to go back.

We stopped here for lunch and were seated immediately. The waiter was kind and helpful with the menu options. He explained the difference of dishes so that I could decide what sounded best to me. I ordered the gyro platter and it came well seasoned and hot when it was delivered. We also got the stuffed eggplant too. It was very good. Nice and seasoned well and savory. I would actually give this place a 4.4, but as we know- yelp doesn't allow partial stars. We will be back

Todd L.

Amazing restaurant experience. The food was delicious!!!! The service was stellar, and the interior decoration was spot on. We both had the Spaghetti Bolonais, and it was rich & delicious. Our waitress, as I said was stellar,........... she was very helpful as this was the first time in a Mediterranean restaurant. Great recommendations that were just what I needed. Bravo!!!!!! A++++++++++. We will be back!!!!

Künefe dessert with ice cream
Tiffany C.

Tholos Mediterranean is a newer spot in Mount Juliet that already feels like it's built with a lot of care behind it. We tried the Tholos Family Kabob as a group of about 6-8 people, and it was an incredible way to experience a big part of the menu. The spread was huge -- a mix of dips, soups, and grilled meats that all came out fresh and clearly made in-house. The table included their hummus, baba ghanoush, haydari, ezme, spinach tarator (my favorite), carrot tarator, shakshuka, lentil soup, rice, salad, grilled tomato, and fresh pita. For the meats, we had adana, chicken, kofta, and lamb chops, and everything had really great flavor and felt thoughtfully seasoned and cooked over charcoal! The lamb chops were the standout for me -- super tender and flavorful, and honestly not something I usually gravitate toward, which says a lot. Everything else was just really fresh and satisfying in that "you can tell this is made with intention" kind of way. The dessert was also a highlight! The künefe was unexpected in the best way. It's warm, crispy shredded pastry layered with melted cheese in the center, finished with a sweet syrup and pistachio. It's rich, a little stretchy and so good you won't want to share! We also had the chance to meet the owner and chef while we were there, and it was clear how much pride they take in both the food and the experience. That sense of hospitality shows up in the way the menu is explained and how much attention is given to quality and freshness and to wanting an atmosphere that feels like welcoming you in to their home. The small private dining room is a beautiful space that would be a great option for family celebrations, graduations, and even bridal or baby showers if you're looking for a spot for your next event! I'm so excited to go back once the patio opens!

Chicken kabobs
Victoria D.

We excited to try this restaurant based on its good reviews. Sadly, we were not impressed with what we ordered. The service was just okay. They do not serve alcoholic beverages. My husband and I both ordered the falafel as an appetizer and chicken Kabobs for our main entree. When the food came out we thought it was going to be amazing because our plates were beautiful and the portion was huge! However, we both agreed that it was bland and lacking in flavor. We had to add a lot of salt! The falafel was probably the best part of the meal. Maybe we just didn't order the right thing. The restaurant had a lot of clientele. The ambiance was nice and there is plenty of seating. So I might go back when I get a good recommendation of what to order.

I had the vegan vegetable clay pot (without the rice, it's not vegan) and it was absolutely delicious! Our waitress was fantastic, she clearly explained what was vegan and what wasn't, which I really appreciated. It was my mother in laws 87 birthday and they sang to her. The owner even came by our table to wish my mother-in-law a happy birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. Everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. There was plenty of parking and they accommodated for wheelchair and a walker/cane. You have a choice of booth or table seating too. Here's how they accommodated for my food allergies and being vegan. This is how KIND they are, they prepared my own special clay pot due to food allergies and that tells me: they respected my needs, they took me seriously, they didn't treat me like an inconvenience, my food was actually fresh and safe! That' is rare and really sweet!! Thank you!! I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend Tholoes Mediterranean Restaurant. PS: I took over half my food home because there was so much!! Definitely worth coming. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I'd love to see even more vegan options, everything else was wonderful. Thank you.

Gyro plate
Whobe Y.

Where's the flavor? This was the first and last time we will be eating here. The gyro tasted like unseasoned burger and the kofta tasted like slightly oddly seasoned burger. This tasted like cafeteria food. Very disappointing. Also since when are tortillas starved with greek food? Both of our plates came with 2/3 of a burrito size tortilla. The baba ganoush was the only thing that came with pita. Thankfully the baba ganoush tasted better than it looked because it was the best thing we received. The spanakopita was pretty flavorless as well. This food was also way to expensive to be so disappointing. 2 plates, a baba ganoush and a spanakopita was $65 and the place asked for a tip on a Togo order. Shameful.

Hot App- Cabbage Rolls with Yogurt. Stuffed with Beef and Rice topped with a Tangy Tomato Sauce. Very good

It looks dry but when you take a bite it has the perfect amount of moisture and the flavor was amazing. I never liked lamb but now I am a fan!

Service was smooth and attentive throughout our visit. We started with the hummus, which came with fried naan--absolutely delicious and a great way to kick things off. The tea was fresh, and the fresh strawberry juice was divine. You could literally hear them juicing it in the back after ordering, which made it feel even more special--definitely a must-try! For entrees, we tried a variety of dishes. The pork ribs were very tender and well-seasoned, though they leaned more toward a Southern style rather than a Mediterranean herb flavor. Still very good! The Chicken Shawarma Plate was flavorful and perfectly seasoned, and both dishes came with incredibly tasty rice that really stood out. The Crazy Burger was HUGE and cooked and seasoned to perfection--definitely come hungry if you order that one. We also got a to-go recommendation from our server: the Santorini's Mixed Grill (lamb chops, beef kabob, chicken kabob, and kofta). WOW--he was absolutely right. It reheated beautifully, and everything was outstanding. The lamb chops were perfection, the beef was excellent, and the kofta seasoning was spectacular. Portions are massive--easily two meals per dish--so you definitely get your money's worth. We left full and already talking about coming back. Safe to say, we've found a new local favorite to add to our rotation. If you're anywhere near Mt. Juliet, Santorini's is well worth the visit

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.

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!
