    This was my first time trying Turkish food, and I have to say, I was completely blown away by how…read moredelicious everything was--especially the coffee! The coffee was honestly one of the best coffees I've ever had. If you're looking for a nice, chill environment with great food and especially great coffee, you definitely need to check this place out. I was very impressed. The service was wonderful, the restaurant was nice and clean, and I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

Honestly, even six people might be a little too many for one table -- four people would probably be ideal. As you can see in the photos, our table was PACKED! That being said, we were served very well, the food was really good, and everyone left completely full. We got to experience so many different foods that we had never tried before, which made the whole experience even more fun. If you've never been here, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's definitely a VIBE! I really wish we could have sat at one of the tables on the floor because that looked like such a fun experience. Unfortunately, some of the people in our group were older, and with the size of our party, that wasn't really an option. So if you're coming with a larger group, I would recommend sitting at separate tables rather than trying to fit everyone at one table. You'll have a much more comfortable experience that way. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back!

    We decided to drive north to Tennessee to buy lottery tickets. I checked Yelp to see what was…read morerecommended in Murfreesboro. We have never been there so we took a scenic ride. 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

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.

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.

This dish came with rice and the rice is THE BOMB! don't pass on the rice.... sooooo good. Staff were all very nice and friendly This was my first time there.... but I was told they just finished a remodel- the place looks great. Pretty large venue so good for groups. Parking is easy - no worries there. Would I go back? YES, there is more to try.

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!!

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.
