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!!

Another delicious spot on Nolensville Pike in South Nashville! Unassuming look in the middle of a…read morestrip mall, but always super busy. Food is great, and you can taste the ingredients are fresh. Their falafel is the perfect texture - good crisp to the exterior but light and fluffy and herby on the inside. Their falafel lemon tahini sauce is bright and smooth, a nice compliment. Tabouleh salad is not my favorite, way too dry and felt like I was gnawing on a dry bunch of parsley from the grocery store. Grapes leaves, order them. Hummus was smooth and creamy, pita hot. Their lamb smelled delicious but I'm not eating meat at the moment so didn't try it. Service is quick and kind. Prices very reasonable. Looking forward to trying more goodies next time!

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.

House of Kabob is a well-known Persian restaurant in South Nashville quite popular with the diverse…read morelocal population. 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.

We made a special visit to Osh to try them on a weekend trip to Nashville about a month ago. 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!

Keep in mind that they have different menus according to Dinner, Lunch and Weekend Brunch. They offer plenty of Vegan and Vegetarian dishes. This is a Scratch kithen and you can tell by the fresh Ingredients and vibrant colors of the food. The interior of the restaurant feels modern and classy with skylights to let in the natural light. The staff are very friendly and the service is very good. The dress code is Smart Casual. They also offer a full bar along with an extensive European wine list. If you're looking for a great date night spot or a weekend brunch, this would be a nice option. The food and the ambiance go hand in hand. I would recommend making reservations as it can get very busy at peak hours. To finish the review-- Parking situation-- There is limited street parking, Pay to park lots and you can park at Sevier Park which is a short walk to the restaurant and it's free. Enjoy!!

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.

What we got was a stunningly presented melange of flavors and colors. We were greeted by a kind and gracious employee and our order was taken by the owner, Rocky. We got the Falafel "Meat and Three" on rice/salad with hummus, baba ghanoush, and cucumber yogurt sauce and the beef shawarma "meat and three" on salad with spicy tomatoes, hummus, and cucumber yogurt sauce - both came with pita bread. We were dazzled by the painting on our plates - the bright fuchsia of the salad, the black sesame seeds in contrast to the cloud of yogurt, the vibrant greens of the veggies, and the pop of saffron yellow rice. The flavors matched and even eclipsed the visual. This was hands down the best meal we've had in Nashville to date (since 2013!) We were generously treated to their mint lemonade (MUST!) and baklava to crown the meal. Both jewels. The best part though was making a new friend in Rocky, who delighted us with conversation. We learned this food treasure recently grew from a food truck to the darling cafe and patio we experienced today. We can't wait to go back!
