There are regular seated tables as well as cute floor seating with cushions! Plenty of parking in the lot in front. This cute Turkish spot has an amazing spread of food (vegetarian friendly) for group sharing. The spreads come with different sizing depending on how many are in your group + options of mains. I absolutely DEVOURED every item on the plates. We also got the tea pot, which is a concentrate you can water down to your liking. The milky bakalawa was also perfectly sweet and such a unique item to try. Would DEFINITELY recommend!

Ordered the TashTea for 3 and then a few other things and were absolutely blown away. The menemem and the potato börek were favorites at the table and it was so fun to mix sauces and try different combinations. The floor seating is really comfortable but if you have lower back issues definitely recommend a normal table. The staff was kind but service was quite slow. I enjoyed how knowledgeable the staff was ! Reservations are not necessary. Their online system doesn't work. You can call and make a reservation but on a Saturday morning there were still plenty of tables. Be prepared to be here a while, this was not a quick in & out breakfast. Perfect spot for catching up with friends & taking your time to enjoy some really really good food.

They use real lamb…read moremeat like you find in Europe, not the mystery meat mix so many places try to pass off as a gyro. The flavor is rich, seasoned perfectly, and tastes like someone actually cares about the food they're serving. Honestly, it's about as close to authentic as you can get around here. The portions are great, the ingredients taste fresh, and every bite reminds me of the kind of street food you'd grab overseas. If you're tired of watered-down "Greek-inspired" food, give this place a try. Absolutely worth it.

And they have a great gyro lunch special for $10. You get your choice of chicken or gyro sandwich combo with french fries or rice or salad and a drink. Additionally, that they have other items on the menu. My order took about 10 minutes. The serving size by far is not skimpy. My gyro had a generous serving of meat and vegetables. The french fries were seasoned well and their tzatziki sauce is very fresh. Food is prepared fresh when you order. So it just takes a few moments. They are conveniently located just down the way from the Kroger grocery store. The restaurant is low-key and the ambience super casual.

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.

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.

They serve Cold Apps, Hot Apps, Entrees, Salads, Pasta, Sandwiches, Shawarma, Vegetarian Dishes, Kabobs, Desserts and they also do a Family Style Menu if you Group Dine in a private room. You may have to reserve that room. I would call first for that option. They have been serving Turkish and Kurdish Cuisine for over 20 years, so they know what they're doing. They are located about 13 minutes out of Nashville down Nolensville Road close to the Nashville Zoo. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. To finish the review I will say they aslo cater and there is plenty of free parking. Enjoy!

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.
