That being said, and maybe it's the New York in me, this is the BLANDEST chicken I've ever had in my life. No seasoning whatsoever. I couldn't finish it because it was almost like eating plain boiled chicken. No char. Not even a hint of pepper, much less any other spices. The street fries were good, however. Hot and crisp. Prices decent, most dishes in the 10-12 dollar range. Six bucks might be a little expensive for the fries, but you get a large amount. One coworker didn't care for her pork pita (she thought it was chewy), but everyone else liked their various dishes (mostly rice bowls). I really try to not leave negative reviews, as everyone out here is just trying their best, but I just don't think I've ever had chicken I could describe as anemic and insipid.

This platter comes with a Greek salad the assemble to your liking in front of you, hot yellow rice, warm grill pita triangles, a "mound" of meat with your choice of sauce (taziki) drizzled on the top. If you're one of those people that like everything separate on the plate. You'd better let them know. It was a delicious pile of food. The people there are very friendly.

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!

Located in a quiet small strip mall area of Brentwood suburb, Mediterranean Cuisine is maybe one of…read morethe stranger names for a restaurant that one could derive. It is clearly descriptive, at the same time, it's a name of an entire food category translated into a restaurant name. In reality, the restaurant is a mix of Greek and Lebanese influences. The gyro platter is one of the more popular items. The gyro itself is served with a sauce over it and generally enjoyable. The tabbouleh is the real disappointment, parsley is clearly not washed well, so the entire salad is full of crunchy sand. Basically, inedible. The chefs must not have tried it. Lastly, the hummus is ok, but extremely acidic and felt off balance. That might be a matter of taste however. Inside, the establishment is clean and casually decorated. Mediterranean Cuisine is clearly a family run business with kind and pleasant staff working, preparing some solid food, but also does not need some extra attention in the kitchen to make the dishes something worth returning for.

The restaurant is well established and doesn't rely on frills and gimmicks to attract their clientele.

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.

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.

After a morning of shopping at a local craft fair on Charlotte Pike, we were in the mood for a…read moregreat meal. I've wanted to eat at Fattoush Café since I moved to Nashville, but I've never found myself in that part of town at meal time. We walked in and found a cozy atmosphere, with no pretense. A single gentleman behind the counter, who may have been the owner, begged our indulgence as none of his employees had shown up to work that day. We were fine to wait given the delicious smells coming from the grill. He asked us if we wanted the chicken shawarma, and then apologized because he was freshly cooking a batch and it would take 15 minutes to be ready. That was music to our ears. Any Mediterranean restaurant that cooks proteins to order shows great promise. We had a chicken Shawarma salad, and the super platter. The portions were tremendous, the proteins were spectacular, and the tzatziki and spicy sauce both tasted looked and smelled homemade. The hummus was some of the best I've had in this town. The total for two huge meals, that really fed us each twice, was a paltry $40. The man behind the counter thanked us for coming in, again thanked us before we left, and was genuinely kind and seemed happy to have us in the restaurant. Very highly recommended for an amazing Middle Eastern meal on Charlotte Pike near downtown Nashville.

Now, and for a while now--they are serving up a light brown, flat, mushy, cut into pieces, flavorless amalgamation of something reminiscent of the first time I attempted to make Falafel from a powdered mix from Kroger.
