    Turkish tea and what's left of the gozleme
    Emily P.

    Don't let the outside deter you, this place is a very cool lounge inside with delicious Turkish food, hookah and friendly service. Stopped in for lunch one day and ordered a pot of tea to share, gozleme as an appetizer, the chicken kabobs and my boyfriend ordered the chicken wings. Everything was so delish, we all finished our plates. Someone who I assume was the owner or manager came over a few times to check on us and ask how everything was, which was a nice gesture. I wasn't a fan of the art on the walls looking like they were done with AI. I would hope they'd support artists rather than utilizing AI to decorate the restaurant, but I could be wrong in my assumption. The parking is also a bit dangerous, having to back out onto Nolensville Pike. Overall a nice experience and I'd definitely go back.

    Came for a casual weeknight dinner date and loved it. The food was amazing, I ordered what my server suggested and I'm so glad he did. The rice, slaw, lamb, blistered tomatoes and appetizer not pictured were all so great. This place seems like a gem. Next time I am in Nashville I want to try their hookah and Turkish coffees.

    I went to the Istanbulounge for a quick bite to eat in the early evening hours, before things were too busy. The art and photos on the walls are really beautiful. The man who served me showed the hospitality that Turkey is known for. And while I didn't have a full meal, the appetizer was delicious!

Every drink was not only beautiful but genuinely delicious. The food was an absolute A+. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The cucumber chickpea salad was incredible, the hummus with spiced lamb and olive tapenade was amazing, and the warm pita took it to another level. My grilled shrimp was perfectly cooked, fresh, and so satisfying. This was our first stop in Nashville after arriving from Chicago, and it set the bar high for the rest of the trip. We were dining with a local friend and made sure to tell them what a great recommendation it was. Highly recommend--Sadie's is a must-visit when you're in Nashville!

Physical Location & Service: The space itself is great. It's clean, airy, and thankfully cool, which is a lifesaver in a Nashville summer. There's also plenty of seating available. The cashier and the workers were friendly, which was a nice touch. Food & Flavor: This is where it all fell apart. I got the build-your-own bowl with the Mediterranean harissa chicken. I'm not sure if they got the memo that this is the home of hot chicken, but the harissa chicken was completely bland and not spicy at all. The rice pilaf was a major letdown--super under-seasoned and crunchy, like some of the grains were uncooked. The tzatziki sauce was also underwhelming, just an unseasoned yogurt mess with no flavor. Value: All of that came to $17 for a very unsatisfying meal. I wasn't expecting an authentic Greek experience, just something Greek-adjacent, and this felt more like something from a bland potluck. Definitely not worth the price for the quality of food received.

    I won't lie this was not my best takeout experience. I cannot speak on the service or ambiance…read moresince I just stopped in quickly to grab my food; I'll say that it was ready punctually. However for the price that I paid I would expect a lot more food. There was barely anything in there and almost no tzatziki. What was there was good, but I am not sure I'd order here again

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.

    One of the most memorable meals of the trip. We ordered the Chick-In Feast, Feast for 6…read more The meal started with solid appetizers. Four fried phyllo dough rolls with chicken (wish this was 6 since the feast was for 6). The others were different dipping sauces to eat with pita bread. Everything was good but our favorites were Humus (hummus) and Alinazik. The Alinazik was creamy, smoky, with a mild taste eggplant in it. That was followed by the Haydari (yogurt with dill and mint). Wasn't quite sure what to think of Ezme which had walnuts and was tart and fruity. Definitely interesting and worth trying, but we wound up only eating about half of that one. The soups (6) - A choice between 2 - Mercimek (lentil soup) almost tasted like a split pea soup - (solid. Chicken soup tasted like cream of chicken with bigger pieces of chicken - ok. Salad was ok. It was like a house salad with a slight drizzle of creamy dressing. The dressing was purple (maybe from pomegranate). The main show was the entree. A massive mountain of saffron rice topped with various grilled meats and vegetables. My favorites were the chicken wings and the ground chicken kebabs. I didn't particularly care for the pearl onions since they were on the grill too long (burnt with acrid flavor). Dessert was 6 pieces of baklava. A pretty good version of it. Very sweet from chocolate sauce, not very crispy. The walls are covered in chicken related decor featuring chicken puns. If you like dad jokes, this will be a positive. The feast at Only Chicken is truly a feast. I love the amount of variety they're able to get with just one protein and the grill. Fun and memorable experience.

They also have a small parking lot with several spots in the back if you don't want to deal with Hillsboro paid parking. Definitely a hidden gem in Nashville. I've never had anything short of exceptional food here!

And everything else that I've tasted was really good. The price isn't too bad, its definitely not cheap though. Main issue is that their delivery service is very unpredictable, it usually ranges from 40 to 90 minutes. If my ex boyfriend called, it would usually take about 20-35 minutes. That's right! there's a difference! I noticed this pattern and asked my then boyfriend to discuss it with the guys that work there... apparently since they all shared Middle Eastern backgrounds, these guys really liked my ex boyfriend. They thought it was so cool that he was Israeli and they respected him because he was a male! I can't believe it, these punks take longer to feed me because I'm a woman! Well, scarew a you!
