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.

The aroma when you walk in this place is incredible. The air is filled with spices and aromas of cooked meat. The staff was incredibly helpful on recommendations. The seating is a mix of tables and Mediterranean/middle eastern themed. I ended up with the crispy chicken shawarma wrap. I believe they put sumac on the outside of the wrap and grill it into the bread. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and such a great bite. The best part for me was the baklava. I eat at a lot of local gyro places and have had baklava from most of them. This was the best baklava I have ever had! Can't wait to go back and get a mixed platter to try out more things.

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.

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.

However, the seasoning of everything else like the rice and the grilled veggies was phenomenal. Overall, it was a very solid meal and I would definitely come here again.

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.
