Really happy to have a very good mediterranean restaurant in the area. My wife and I ordered some…read morethings for take-out. Arriving, the staff was very friendly and said that we should be sure to come and dine in person next time, and I think we will. The restaurant is small, and nicely decorated. We ordered Hummus & Pita and Baba Ghanoush & Pita. We kinda treat these as simple tests of a Middle Eastern restaurant. And Mediterranean Grill did not disappoint. While our preference is for the Hummus to be a bit thicker, this had very good flavor. The Baba has the taste of being made with grilled / smoked eggplant, which we really like as it adds a great depth of flavor. And the Pita was quite good. (We'd ordered enough that we had another meal that included these, and the Pita was still great a day or two later. I like it toasted, BTW.) My wife ordered the Gyro Sandwich and really enjoyed it. I thought that the meat had a great flavor and just the right amount of juiciness and tenderness. I ordered the Falafel Platter, and they were beautifully seasoned and fried to a great crispy texture without becoming dried out. Eating them along with the Hummus (that comes with the platter) made for quite a treat. And I also had a Mediterranean Slushy (minty lemonade) that was outstanding. The staff and I spoke a bit about dessert and how they made it themselves (rather than buying them in) and changed them each week. I thought I'd ordered a baklava, but got home and found that it was not in the bag nor on the receipt, so I must not have been clear. I'll sure be so next time. (Of course, if we're eating in, it will be pretty obvious!) Anyway, we're looking forward to our next meal from these folks.

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.

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.

Seating is self-serve, and a server comes by to take your order, which made the experience feel casual and welcoming. We ordered the wedding pilaf and kebab. The wedding pilaf had great flavor and was satisfying, although it was a little oily for my personal taste. The kebab was the highlight for me -- very juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We sat out on the patio, and it was such a pleasant spot to enjoy dinner. One thing to note is that you pay inside at the counter when you're finished. Service was straightforward and efficient. I can see why this place received Michelin recognition. The food feels authentic, comforting, and made with care. Overall, I think it deserves the praise and is definitely worth visiting if you want delicious Uzbek food in a unique, homey setting.

Food is great, and you can taste the ingredients are fresh. Their falafel is the perfect texture - good crisp to the exterior but light and fluffy and herby on the inside. Their falafel lemon tahini sauce is bright and smooth, a nice compliment. Tabouleh salad is not my favorite, way too dry and felt like I was gnawing on a dry bunch of parsley from the grocery store. Grapes leaves, order them. Hummus was smooth and creamy, pita hot. Their lamb smelled delicious but I'm not eating meat at the moment so didn't try it. Service is quick and kind.

This tired chick was so hungry, she failed again to get a pic. No worries. I'm sure it won't be the last time we order from them so next time I'll be sure to get a pic. It is soooo much food! The take-out container must've weighed a couple pounds. No seriously, they give you a lot of food for a very reasonable price. The thinly sliced and tender gyro meat with its crispy edges covers about 2 cups of soft yellow rice, and is then topped with your chosen menu selections. I chose crumbled feta cheese, which was sprinkled over the mountain of gyro meat. In addition, I chose chopped raw white onions, perfectly red ripe chopped tomatoes and chopped cucumbers. That occupied about a third of the 3-part styrofoam container. Then they smattered tzatziki sauce all over the rice, feta cheese and gyro meat portions. Next, 4 large wedges of pita bread were laid over the last third of the 3 sections of the container. The only thing I wish they had done differently was to put the sauce on the side so I could control the amount since they are not stingy with any of their ingredients. I kind of like to be in control with the amount of sauce because...calories. But it turned out perfect in the end once I mixed the sauce in a little. I still would've preferred to have had the sauce put on the side, in a couple or a few solo cups. I'm sure if you ask on the Door Dash app they'll honor your substitutions and/or request, so next time I'll definitely try asking about having them put the sauce on the side. The order was quick in getting put together in the kitchen and out to me. It was delicious and thoroughly enjoyable. It's a definite must do again.

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!
