    My wife told me about this place she had seen on social media and wanted to try it. It was a…read morefantastic dining experience and the food was fresh and delicious. It is a family owned and operated restaurant serving an authentic and traditional Mediterranean style family spread meant for sharing. They also serve sand brewed coffees, specialized hot and cold teas, Mocktails and bake all of their breads and desserts in house fresh every day. The staff are very friendly and one of the owners was giving us our check after we were done eating and actually started a conversation with us and told us that one of the things they are known for is Hospitality. Everyone was so nice and it just complimented the delicious food. My wife and myself got the Family size Tashtea Breakfast for 2. It was definitely enough food for 2. This huge spread consists of different Cheeses, Olives, Honey, Butter, Molasses, Tomatoes, Sausage, Egg, Seasonal Fruit and Freshly Baked Bread. To finish the review-- This place is only open for Breakfast and Lunch. They close around 4:30. There is plenty of free parking and it's located in Antioch about 15 minutes from Nashville. It's worth a try if you haven't been or if you have been there then you know.

This is a Kurdish-Turkish restaurant, and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The prices were also very reasonable. Our entire table, with all the food we ordered, came to around $85-$90, which was a great price for the quality and amount of food. The service was good and everyone was very friendly. At times, our server got a little distracted talking with other customers, but I understand that they were just trying to be welcoming and friendly. I used to run a restaurant myself, so I know how busy things can get. They may just need to pay a little more attention to all the tables. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was excellent, the service was good, and I will 100% come back again. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. You will not be disappointed

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.

Two years ago I made a reservation and they called and cancelled it due to…read moreweather without an option to move me inside, so I wrote them off (I wanted to impress friends but thankfully another spot got us in). 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.

I'll be back. Service here was great. The gentleman was so willing to describe everything on the menu. He even recommended quite a few options for us to try. When you try new places, you have to order a little of everything to get an actual feel for the restaurant. My advice is to order a little bit of this and a little bit of that; you won't be displeased. Take in all of the culture. This place has a lot of character from the art on the walls to the minor decor on the tables. See photos for everything ordered! I can't even begin to name them all.

    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.

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!!

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. Prices very reasonable. Looking forward to trying more goodies next time!

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.
