After reading all the reviews here I wanted to make a site visit and see for myself. Most of the negative reviews reflect on their delivery. I also wanted to dispel a lot of what people are saying, I deliver for uber eats and I got a pickup from here, so it in fact isn't the employees delivering the food, its legit uber eats and door dash etc. They have a big shelf for delivery drivers and I witnessed several drivers come in and collect orders. Saying that I walked in and it was dead quiet. The decor was nice, like someone actually spent time to decorate the place in an Egyptian theme. Finally was acknowledged after a few minutes and asked if I could sit inside and eat inside. The guy said I could. Gave me a menu and seated me. I ordered the kofta plate. with a water. About 15 minutes later a second guy gets a water bottle out of the cooler and places it down. (I later found out, he said because of covid, they can't have fountain drinks and also no silverware but disposable silverware.) I was the only person eating in there and the only other people I saw were to go orders and delivery drivers. The food took a semi long time to come out. About 25 minutes. The price was very good. The food was fresh I could tell. One complaint I have was the koftas were dry and charred. I am used to tender koftas. These had some crunch to them. I used the cucumber sauce to soften them up. Another complaint I would say is, the rice was bland, I would have loved for some hot sauce or maybe some Sumac to put on the whole dish. I doused the entire thing with the two ramekins of cucumber sauce, and it really improved the flavor. Staff were nice and the food was freshly made to order, so no problems there. Just -the wait times and the kofta doneness was the only real issue. Also the menu said "one pound of beef" which, when I first read it, gave me pause and I thought to myself "I can't eat one pound of beef" and when it came out it was more like 1/4 pound. Speaking of pounds - they had a promotional poster at the entrance and it was advertising specials in GBP and not USD lol I hated to see all these people complaining on here about this place when it was third party delivery drivers and not the fault of the restaurant. I wanted to see for myself. I do vote this place higher than the other local spot called Sam's Kabob Gyro. read more

I used uber eats while in the hospital. My purchase was $51.80 so I placed a sizable order for dinner. When I opened my box, I only had lettuce and tomatoes when I ordered a gyro salad. When I called Management to let them know, I was told it was nothing he could do now since the order was placed 11 hours ago. The order was placed during lunchtime (11:30 am) and I called to let management know at 9 pm. This is not 11 hours. However GOOD customer service would be to remake the mistaken order but I was Met with hostility. I would never say anything Bad about a business but customer service is #1 in my book and this establishment doesn't come near a 10. read more

Horus - Meatless Gyro salad NOT ordered!! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My buddy and I were hungry, so he suggested we go to Horus. At first I was iffy as the old Horus used to be more of a hookah bar and coffee shop/ lounge. I didn't enjoy the old place as it wasn't clean and the vibe wasn't cool at all. He insisted we give then a try since they are under new management and I'm SO GLAD that I did. We walked in and some of our friends were here, which was a good sign. We asked them how was their food and experience and they said it's good so we decided to get a table and sit down too. Food coma alert!! This place cleaned up so much. The Food was amazing. We had the dinner for 2 for $40. The portions were HUGE!! Started out with the hummus and whipped feta which is my favorite. Super flavorful. Then out soups came out in cool looking bowls. The mulukhyah and fasulye were tasty. We opted in for the large mixed grill and we couldn't finish it. Although both of us are big eaters. To sum it up we got the dessert: basboosah and Balah sham. The server was kind enough to give us a complimentary glash. The prices were affordable, service were great, and store is very nice and clean now. Highly recommend! read more

Just got delivery from this place and it took 2 hrs, which happens. I'm sure things get backed up but then I get my food and the contents are all in the bag. I can only assume it sat in the guys car being thrown around for at least an hour. Tried calling the place and i couldn't get through then it's saying the number doesn't exist. Did I just get ghosted by a restaurant haha. Oh well, seriously a terrible experience. Maybe it's great if you go in but don't order to-go. I threw away my food because it was a giant mess. read more

Horus - This is what your to-go food will look like. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Just a heads up to anyone ordering from here. Placed an order on Uber eats and still haven't received it (restaurant staff delivers the food, not Uber). Called the restaurant for an update and the man was very rude saying my address was a park and they have tried contacting me, which they didn't. And yelling and cursing at me for no reason. Talked over me the whole time. Obviously can get my money back on Uber eats but no way a restaurant should act when I was simply checking for an update. Also restaurant has different names. I'm assuming because of other terrible reviews. Look up Tena's. Same address. Same people. read more

I read the reviews and wanted to give this place a try. I should have known better when I saw no one in the parking lot and a car on blocks in the parking lot. But I said ok the reviews weren't mixed and I wanted Great Greek food so I went in saw dirty tables and still I kept going to the counter. I will say they were polite and took my order and the wait was not that long. But the food was really bad. I ordered a Gyro Sandwich and Greek Salad. The meat was very dry and the vegetables were old e en cooked they looked old. The Salad tasted stale and the lettuce was brown, the olives were very bitter I threw it away. I have to say that this place needs to remake itself or shut down. It should not be serving food to the public.Gyro SandwichGreek Salad. I am giving this place one star because Yelp will not let me post without a star but in my opinion zero stars should be the rating. read more

Ordered via Uber Eats, the staff were to deliver the food. Delivery took well over an hour and when I called to check on the status, I initially spoke to a gentleman who told me my food was en route, however 30mins later I called back and he wouldn't pick up the phone until I called from another number. Food could be promising however I didn't receive the food hot so I couldn't enjoy it as I should have. Don't think I will be ordering or patronizing this business again read more

We had food delivered for Horus last night (via Doordash), and it was delicious! We started with the Greek salad for something light and then shared the whipped feta (not so much whipped as crumbled and tossed with herbs, spices, and peppers - very delicious though!) and the fasoulya (a bean soup/stew) for starters (the fasoulya had good flavor, but I thought the beans could have been more tender - not our favorite bite of food). Then we shared the pastitsio (on their menu as bechamel beef). If you've never had pastitsio, imagine a cross between moussaka and lasagna - pasta, ground meat (in this case beef), bechamel sauce, cheese. Horus's version was hearty and tasty and exactly what we wanted. We also shared a slice of basbousa (a semolina cake soaked in syrup). This was delicious, but it was a huge slice! (The picture on Doordash was a more traditional square piece - sometimes you also see it cut into diamonds - so we weren't expecting quite so much; we finished it though!) While we've never dined in, based on this delivery experience, I'd be happy to. And we'd be happy to order delivery or takeout from Horus again! read more

This is a great example of a restaurant in which you can actually taste that the people care about the food they are making. I've ordered many different items and everything has been absolutely delicious and fresh. Great seasoning on the food (and not too salty), tasty meats and delicious breads. Also--hidden gem for the best dessert crepes in the city! Even better than the cafes who specifically specialize in crepes. I've ordered from them countless times with special instructions and they always get my order right. I see you and appreciate you, Horus!! read more

I ordered via a delivery service. The dolma (stuffed grape leaves) are a go/no-go for me in all middle eastern restaurants. The ones at Horus are clearly house made; the rice was perfectly al dente (and not the mush that you get from canned dolmas). The falafel wrap was outstanding as well; crispy, well seasoned, and not the slightest bit oily. The gyro was a bit les successful; the meat was tasty, but had no sear (and gyro meat needs a sear to achieve full flavor, IMHO). The prices were reasonable. Recommended for a delivery middle eastern lunch in Donelson. read more

As an Egyptian (born & raised), that was one experience that literally took me back home! With all the memories of the amazing food I used to eat back then! The food was cooked beyond perfect! Highly recommend & as you can see it was an uber eats order, came on time & was packed perfectly. Thanks you Horus! read more

Horus - Half chicken & Moloukiha - Middle Eastern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This is my go to spot for middle eastern comfort food. The lentil soup is flavorful and soothing, with soft pita on the side. The falafel is also some of the best I've had in the city. I've ordered from here about three times and it's consistently fresh and delicious. I deducted one star due to both an employee and a patron not wearing a mask on my last visit. read more

We were looking for Greek food that delivered, and we came across Horus. We'd never heard of it, but we gave it a try. So glad we did!!! Very delicious, good sized portions, and quick delivery with Uber Eats. We will definitely be ordering again! read more

Horus - Gyro crepe, hummus, and chicken shawarma. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Okay WOW! This place is absolute garbage! Now I don't say this often but your gonna want to hear this. I placed an order on Uber eats and it has now been 2.5 hours! I tried calling and they hung up on me. I spoke to the owner and when he asked me what the problem was he put the speaker up to a fan to "drown me out" then he laughed and said "oh sorry what did you say?" So I stayed an adult about it and repeated myself then he did it again- laughed- then hung up!! Absolutely terrible service and TERRIBLE owner. WOW. read more

Under new management? I work nearby & go as often as once a week for a gyro salad. A few weeks back I noticed different guys working there & the quality was not what it had been. Today, i was served a rather small portion with cucumber that should not have been served & pita so stale it was inedible. Gonna have to find a new regular place to grab lunch. read more

The food look amazing but i ordered food through doordash that worth 60$ and it was confirm order but the food didn't delivered and nor I get the refund:( read more

Horus - Middle Eastern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Build your own pitas! Aside from the meat sitting in a pot and not freshly shaven off, the dryness outweighed the extra tsasiki sauce! :-( The cucumbers were a good addition and the pita pocket was stuffed with meat! The fries reheated well too, the next day! Ha! Put those bad boys in foil, and in the oven, preheated on 400° for about 5 - success! Will return because of flavor and ask for even more cucumber sauce! read more

This place is so good. We've gotten it for both pickup or delivery now a few times and it has been great every time. I highly recommend the falafel wrap, the hummus, and the whipped feta. read more

I loved the pita bread. Also I had the steak kabob plate. It's a pound of steak. 95% was tender. It came with a good flavored rice and salad. My husband had the chicken leg quarters with the same sides. He loved it. It's a large meal for a very reasonable price. It was all good and I'll definitely be eating there again. read more

I ordered from the laquinta inn tonight. My son had a double Hanner and fries. He gave them a 8 out of 10 stars. I had the gyro sandwich. The cucumber sauce was watered down and tasted really weird. We had the honey hot wings. They were really good. We ordered at around 8:30 pm. The delivery took an hour and 15 minutes. The cost was a little expensive in my opinion. read more

Delivery over a hour late, food a little sketchy. Called to check on food got various stories on why it was late.

Great Arabic food! Staff are great and food taste traditional! Highly recommend if you want some authentic Egyptian food!

This place has fantastic Egyptian food. It's hard to find a place (not just in Nashville, but around the country) that does specifically Egyptian food - not Greek, not mediterranean, but Egyptian. Their portions were great, food was cooked well, prices were totally reasonable, and they had menu items you can't find anywhere else. Try their hawawshi and their shawarma nachos and enjoy! Great service and decor, too. read more

The turn the restaurant down, now looks great then before food is good fresh and tasty , you should try, I loved everything they did new management and good for all people family couple single and kids, you will love it. read more

The food was outstanding! I had the chicken shwarma which was full of flavor and a good portion size. The rice was moist and very flavorful and the pita bread was the best I've had in a long while. My son got the Philly steak which he said was very good. read more

The food is beyond authentic and tasty. I totally recommend the molkheya soup and their mix grill. Their foul and falafel are great as well

Ordered on Uber Eats. They use their own delivery driver and you can't track your order. Arrived over 75 minutes late, order was wrong, cold and not great. Over the delay I called the restaurant several times... phone just rings and rings. If you're looking to order delivery, choose someplace else. read more

In my opinion this place is an unknown gem on Murfreesboro Rd. The quality of the food is excellent, and very well priced. If you like Arab food and are in the area, you can't go wrong with this no-frills little gem. read more

Dry chicken, small portions and stale pita bread. I've had better before no doubt.

Great food, very generous portions. I would highly recommend this place to anyone local or visiting from out of town. It was very very cheap and it did not compromise the quality one bit. The hosts were very nice the place was very clean. Very nice local spot for everyone to try out. read more

I've ordered several times and the service is just not great. If they get your order wrong they don't refund or make it right. The driver is usually fairly late. Also inexplicably the quality of the gyro meat changed dramatically the last few times I ordered. I called to ask about it and the person who answered said it was a temporary problem. I called back 2 weeks later and another person denied the problem existed. Just difficult. read more

Horus - I found a roach leg on my food while i was eating. Super disgusted & dissapointed in this place be careful guys. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Ordered delivery online, but it never arrived. 1.5 hours later, cancelled the order. Was really looking forward to this after reading other reviews. Maybe more of a carry out place? read more

This was one of my favorite gyro places in town a year ago, but I'm never going back. The service was good, the sole reason for the 2 stars, but those of us from Nashville know there's better food within a mile of this place. When I want a gyro plate, I want to pick my toppings like I do at subway: in a line, left to right, with the ability to see everything. Now they take orders to the back and you don't know what they're doing to your plate. I guess they've changed the entire restaurant to accommodate the incoming hipsters in Nashville. It's a disappointment to the natives. read more

Food is good...however, it's filthy and it smells awful. They have a hooka bar in the front and it smells like tobacco throughout there resturant. The building is disgusting and the inside of the resturant is so dirty. They are also very slow. It took forever. I called in a to go order, was told 20 minutes. When I got there, they said another 10 minutes. 40 minutes later I got my food. I would never eat in the resturant. DIRTY!!! I will not be going back. read more

We were in Nashville from upstate New York and my husband happened upon this little place for Middle Eastern food. We drove 20 minutes for what is primarily a take out place now. I was laughing at his willingness to travel so far Middle eastern food right up until I tasted the Baba Ghanoush. It was great. Dinner was very good as well. The place has been newly renovated and the young couple working the place offer generous portions at good prices. If I lived in Nashville I'd be back for sure. If I were just picking up takeout this would be a higher rating. I wish them great luck. read more

We got the 4 course meal for two and it was absolutely delicious! We got whipped feta, the hawawshi, lentil and fasulye soups, the mixed grill entree, baklava and basbousa. There was SO MUCH food we will be eating it for days and everything was delicious. Definitely a new favorite. read more

Absolutely fantastic food at a dirt cheap price . Got the beef shawarma sandwich. #14 I think ? . Will be back for sure !!

Generous portions and friendly service. The place could use a bit of cleaning but other than that, it was great food at a heck of a value. I had the lunch (all day) special and my wife had a chicken platter with rice, veggies, ect... Neither of us could finish ours. If you're in the mood for a good Gyro, don't let the building scare you off. One of the better ones I've had recently. I'll be back again. read more

Honestly, I'm Persian, I've eaten kabob my whole life. The platter of lamb, beef, and chicken I got was incredible. AND it was late at night. Baba ganoush was ok, needs more herbs and a little spice. Lentil soup, hot, tasty, big portion. Overall, this place just got a new customer read more
