My wife told me about this place she had seen on social media and wanted to try it. It was a fantastic dining experience and the food was fresh and delicious. It is a family owned and operated restaurant serving an authentic and traditional Mediterranean style family spread meant for sharing. They also serve sand brewed coffees, specialized hot and cold teas, Mocktails and bake all of their breads and desserts in house fresh every day. The staff are very friendly and one of the owners was giving us our check after we were done eating and actually started a conversation with us and told us that one of the things they are known for is Hospitality. Everyone was so nice and it just complimented the delicious food. My wife and myself got the Family size Tashtea Breakfast for 2. It was definitely enough food for 2. This huge spread consists of different Cheeses, Olives, Honey, Butter, Molasses, Tomatoes, Sausage, Egg, Seasonal Fruit and Freshly Baked Bread. To finish the review-- This place is only open for Breakfast and Lunch. They close around 4:30. There is plenty of free parking and it's located in Antioch about 15 minutes from Nashville. It's worth a try if you haven't been or if you have been there then you know. read more

I came here for breakfast while visiting from California, and honestly, in almost 30 years of living in the United States, this was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. This is a Kurdish-Turkish restaurant, and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The prices were also very reasonable. Our entire table, with all the food we ordered, came to around $85-$90, which was a great price for the quality and amount of food. The service was good and everyone was very friendly. At times, our server got a little distracted talking with other customers, but I understand that they were just trying to be welcoming and friendly. I used to run a restaurant myself, so I know how busy things can get. They may just need to pay a little more attention to all the tables. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was excellent, the service was good, and I will 100% come back again. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. You will not be disappointed read more

Went with a group of about 5 people and absolutely loved the experience! Servers were kind and prompt with service. There are regular seated tables as well as cute floor seating with cushions! Plenty of parking in the lot in front. This cute Turkish spot has an amazing spread of food (vegetarian friendly) for group sharing. The spreads come with different sizing depending on how many are in your group + options of mains. I absolutely DEVOURED every item on the plates. We also got the tea pot, which is a concentrate you can water down to your liking. The milky bakalawa was also perfectly sweet and such a unique item to try. Would DEFINITELY recommend! read more

What a fantastic mother's day treat! We came in the afternoon and had about a 30 minute wait but it was so worth it. Everything was absolutely delicious. We had the Tash Tea for two which was a ton of food. We also ordered some other side dishes, a turkish coffee, and a kurdish coffee. Everything was so tasty that we decided to get another round of coffee and a dessert. What a delightful experience and something totally different. Will be back with friends soon! read more

the food was INCREDIBLE. absolutely delicious & definitely worth the hype. Both the coffee and tea were phenomenal. Ordered the TashTea for 3 and then a few other things and were absolutely blown away. The menemem and the potato börek were favorites at the table and it was so fun to mix sauces and try different combinations. The floor seating is really comfortable but if you have lower back issues definitely recommend a normal table. The staff was kind but service was quite slow. 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. Perfect spot for catching up with friends & taking your time to enjoy some really really good food. read more

I've been passing this place for months. Scrolling the clock app, I saw a review and it was immediately added to my must try list. I'm an early riser so I went in shortly after open on a Sunday. I'm a sucker for esthetically appealing things... the decor was really cute! Of course I opted for the traditional floor seating. I wanted the full experience . We were immediately seated. The food was delicious. Very flavorful. Since I'm coming back with a group soon, I didn't get the Tash Tea Breakfast spread. I opted to get the Menemen. It was great! It's going to be hard to order anything else the next time I go. VERY Flavorful and served with bread. To drink I had a Matcha Latte and it's hands down one of the best I've had in Nashville. I also ordered a Cuban to go. It was ok. Very strong. As I got to the bottom, it was less strong and really tasty. I. WILL. BE. BACK read more

A great place to eat when you have out-of-town guests or are in the mood for something different. The owners are available and approachable and willing to share details of their story and of the incredible variety of breakfast food. We sat in the low section to get as authentic an experience as possible. The food was plentiful and we've taken leftovers with us each visit. The service is professional and knowledgeable and definitely unobtrusive. They will talk as much as you want to talk and leave you to yourself when you want. The atmosphere is calming and relaxed. No putting on airs, just have a seat, take your time and enjoy. I think this must be the way meals are taken back home. read more

This is a small but vibey shop offering standard table seating & some floor cubby seating on pillows for a more traditional aesthetic. The food here is exceptional & I would argue it's one of the best breakfast options in the city. If you're dining with 2-4 get 4-5 dishes & share & there will likely be leftovers . Two of my favorites are the beef borek & the gozleme. Service is friendly & attentive. We are very lucky to have a great Kurdish food scene here. read more

OMG do NOT sleep on this place!! Me and adult daughter shared the TashTea for 2. It's the best charcuterie of food! And seemed to be just the right amount of small bites to fill us without stuffing us. Sweet, savory, fresh bakery items, fresh fruit, dips, yogurt, olives. All of the above. We were blown away by it. And daughter said best mango matcha she's ever had. We'll be back! read more

Wow, I wasn't expecting much, this was just a breakfast place I found on Yelp on our way into Nashville, but this deserves a five star rating. First, the staff actually seemed genuinely happy and friendly, not just the fake server niceness you see. Second, everything we ate was delicious- my favorite was the rose jam that came with the Tashtea breakfast, but the fried eggs and sausage plate was also really good. The menemem was great as well, it was like pizza without the crust. It was busy but not obnoxiously so on a busier than usual Sunday morning. We got to sit at a low table on cushions, but they have normal tables as well. I highly recommend this place! read more

We absolutely loved TashTea! It is an amazing experience and I would recommend that you come hungry and order the TashTea - it comes with so much food and an assortment so you get a little of everything. And don't be afraid to ask questions! The staff is so kind and will answer questions or give recommendations. Everything was delicious and fresh. Can't wait to go back again. I didn't get a photo but we also tried the baklava which was absolutely delicious. This is a cozy little restaurant that is so cute inside with lovely ambiance. read more

We had the TashTea breakfast for two. My wife had the Kurdish Coffee and I had the Cafe Latte. Everything was amazing and there was sooooo much great food! We also took home the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake for later. We will be back. Only two small observations: - I kind of wished there had been some tiny spoons or knives. I loved combining the jams with the tahini on the bread but in doing so it was hard not to get the jams mixed into the tahini. My wife didn't mind but I could see in larger groups how that could be awkward. - The bread went so well with everything that I wish the initial amount of bread given was more proportional to the various elements. Didn't mind paying for extra bread but it would have been nice if we hadn't needed to order more. These are really just small nitpicks and, regardless, I would still highly recommend any and everyone eat here! read more

SO happy I found this spot. It's such a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall but is a little oasis once inside. This cafe has amazing aesthetics and has a calm and relaxing ambiance to it. TashTea has brought true Turkish/Kurdish cuisine to Nashville! Excellent, attentive service from the moment I entered and everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. It was my first time trying Kurdish coffee which is made in the traditional method over hot sand. It is made from terebinth (related to pistachio) and the staff explained the whole process and why it is cooked in this method- to get all the rich flavors out. The end product was absolutely delicious, earthy with a subtle nutty flavor and served with a great presentation and a little sweet to go along with it. I also got the sahanda sujuklu yumurta (fried eggs with sausage) which was simple, tasty, and served with homemade pita bread. I am already planning my next visit and can't wait to try other menu items! I hope this spot gets the recognition it deserves; I am happy to have it in the Antioch dining scene. read more

Everything was so very good. I rarely see a menu where I want to try everything. We got the large breakfast (pricey but large portions and lots of variety). If you go for nothing else, go for the Dubai chocolate cheesecake. Service was great. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Not an issue getting a table but it did fill up as the morning got later. That also meant increased volume, but it wasn't intolerable. Go. You won't regret it. read more

Deliciously unique food, great service, nice decor. We will definitely go again when we're hungry enough to try the TashTea!

If you are a part of a group of people who love food, who love ambiance, who love being doted upon and desired to linger in this fashion, then by all means come to TashTea!!! While you may be unfamiliar at first with parodical or food, take courage because your bravery will be rewarded. You are in the good hands and graces of a staff who are overflowing with patience and generosity. They will lead you to a bounty of flavors and textures that are a delight to behold. Take a seat, ( in a booth is best ) relax and enjoy! read more

Everything was amazing. The food was excellent especially the meat borek however it's the service that will bring us back. 5 star treatment each time we''ve been there. I recommend the Kurdish coffee over the Turkish coffee. cute place, highly recommend read more

100% Recommend. If you can adhere to the hours, get ready to have your taste buds blown away. Keep reading. If all the parking spots are taken you can park in the shopping center which has ample parking. Walking a fair distance to your car would be helpful after a very filling meal. Upon entry, the restaurant is clean and modern. I like how they have seating that is low to the ground, but if that's not your thing, they have regular tables too. I got the "sampler" as we would call it. First course came out and I wanted to try their lentil soup. Very great subtle mint flavor. I got an espresso as well and it was big. Like a normal coffee cup size. Second courses came out and there is a big variety. Loved all the flavors and everything. From sweet to savory. Good olives, vegetables, and cheese. Mains came out and the egg was delicious. So was the Sujuk I got tea as well and it was very good. The watermelon was also good. I believe I ate too much. I love supporting local businesses and it was a pleasure to dine here. I even went next door to the newly opened Kabul market. Support our community members! read more

Such an awesome experience! read more

The definition of a hidden gem, TashTea has finally brought true Turkish/Kurdish breakfast to Nashville! Tucked away in a bit of a strip mall in Antioch, you're transported to another world when you enter. Truly A+ for ambiance and vibes, the inside is spacious, extremely clean, well decorated and bright, with traditional poof/floor seating as well as more conventional dining tables. We opted for sitting in the conventional tables this time, but I'd love to come back and sit on the traditional cushion/poofs. I brought my parents here for an early Sunday brunch (around 9:30ish) and it was great that we came on the earlier side, as it was definitely starting to fill up as we were leaving. I absolutely love this style of large, shareable breakfast. We started with drinks: the Kurdish tea for two for my parents and the Kurdish coffee (made in the traditional method over hot sand) for me. My parents are absolute tea snobs and they were raving about the presentation and rich flavor of their tea. They loved how even though they were sharing a pot, they could easily control how intense the flavor was (my mom prefers mild, my dad dark.) The coffee was unreal: rich, almost pistachio/nutty flavor, served with a great presentation and a little sweet to go along with it. The Kurdish breakfast for two was more than enough food for us, and we ended up having a decent leftover haul. They made it vegetarian upon request, so we got; 3 types of Cheese, 2 types of Olives, Honey & Butter, Yoghurt, Jam, Tahini & Grape Molasses, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Walnuts, Grilled Veggies, 4 Fried Cheese Rolls, Haydeh (labneh with dill), Fresh Pita, and Menemen (traditional Kurdish dish with eggs, tomatoes green peppers, cheese and spices, cooked in olive oil.) I also opted to add on a Simit (Turkish style sesame bagel, because it's my favorite) and a Honey Latte, and then got a couple of desserts to go (Tres Leches and Kunefe). First: what a presentation!! The food covered our entire table and so many options to choose from. My favorite bread item was the Samit: the bagel. Lightly sweetened with honey, served warm, it was the perfect crustiness on the outside and soft, chewiness on the inside. I also absolutely loved the potato borek, which was a dish I had never had before. Very flaky pastry, similar to layered Indian paratha, wrapped around a flaky, potato filling - not nearly as heavy as I thought it would be, and great texture. All of the noshes were excellent but my favorite of those was the labneh, the cubes of fresh feta, and the green olives. It was too much food, but I had no regrets about getting a couple of desserts to go. We have already downed the milk cake (tres leches) and are saving the kunefe for a post dinner treat. Excellent, attentive service throughout, and I really appreciated that they were so accommodating of vegetarians, as I haven't always had that experience at truly authentic Turkish breakfast places. I also loved the recommendations from our server/owner, as my parents were new to this cuisine and had a lot of questions. I am already planning my next visit with friends and this has easily been my one of my favorite additions to the Nashville dining scene this year! read more

Came here for brunch with my friend and I seriously can't wait to go back! The place was packed when we arrived. We found two seats at the bar and ordered the TashTea for two. My friend had dietary restrictions and they were able to accommodate her. We both had plenty to eat and couldn't finish everything. I love the bread, hummus, vegetables, and the dip selection. I'd love to sit in the traditional lower tables next time. I loved seeing families, friends, and individuals enjoying the place. It was mixed with modern and traditional seating. Staff were super busy. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile, so happy we finally had the chance. We chose to sit on the cushions, there's tables as well. It was decorated cute, and very clean. We were greeted and served very quickly, and everyone that helped us was very friendly. We got the breakfast for two, the tea, and a cheese bread that I forget the name of. Everything was very delicious. This is definitely my preferred type of breakfast. I've never been a "pancakes and bacon" kind of person - the spread included cheeses, olives, delicious bread, jam, honey and butter, tahini, and grape molasses. It also included an egg dish that had some sausages in it. We ate every bit of it. I even enjoyed the black tea, and I'm not a tea fan. The manager convinced us to try a turkish coffee with chocolate baklava afterwards, both were very good. The coffee is an espresso type serving and very strong. If you enjoy espresso, you'd like this. We will be back. read more
