WAYYYY at the TOP of MY list! YUM! =)

by seanmemphis

I was in Nashville visiting from Memphis on business for Vanderbilt, when I saw this restaurant's sign above Cheeseburger Charlies and next to Starbucks, across the main North-South street that goes by the east end of campus, where I spent all my time attending a seminar. I visited Mediterranean Cuisine throughout the 6-day seminar and was absolutely thrilled with every visit. The only time the service was slow, it was obviously because the place was jam-packed. The servers are very nice and totally genuine. They made me feel more welcome than anyone else in the whole city did the entire length of my visit. The food? WOW! Yummy!!!

These guys have it down PAT. I went back every single day to try more and more of their offerings. Awesome dishes I had: the Mixed Grill Platter - for $12.49 I got Shrimp Shish-kebab, Kafta Shish-kebab (Black Angus meat they spice up just right and grill on a skewer), Chicken Gyro (always had lamb gyro before; this was great), yellow rice, hummus, warm pita wedges and tabouli. I also tried the Mediterranean Combo, which filled me up on dolmades, hummus, tabouli, falafel, lamb gyro meat, kiffta (ground beef with herbs and spices), and chicken shawarma (chicken breast wedges marinated and cooked in sumptuous spices), all served with rice and warm pita wedges- WOW!!! I raved about this meal so much to the family that I had to order a couple to-go on my way out of town. I enjoyed their fattoush salad, their Greek Salad, their Kibbi Pie, Beef Shawarma Platter and the Daniela Platter. I tried the Sampler Platter, the Jalapeno Hummus, and on the last day, the Steak in a Pocket to take on the road with me. What a find! This place will always get my business any time I am ever in Nashville. Everyone on the staff I met was very personable and friendly, and I have not seen THAT in far too long- it's been years. I was very pleased, and I give the restaurant my highest recommendation. Way to go, guys. =D

• Pros: great people, amazing food
• Cons: none, whatsoever

Best falafel in Nashville (anywhere for that matter)

by Rolff

My wife and I had not been here in over 2 years and I was craving their falafel. Well, my anticipation was fulfilled! Wow this place stepped up and served the tasty food fast. We also enjoyed a nice glass of tea and split a serving of grape leaves. Awesome!

Sammy the owner came over to our table and we had a great conversation with him.

We highly recommend this restaurant as one of our favorite for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food! Easy 5 stars! We're going back soon!!!

• Pros: Great food and service! Friendly staff and owner!
• Cons: none

Some of the Best Greek and Mediterranead Cuisine in Nashville sold at very reasonable prices & served in a clean and comfortable environment

by randaximus

I really enjoy Mediterranean Cuisine for their high quality food and great prices. The servers are friendly and accomomdating. The hummus tastes natural and not like the peanut butter you find at fast food greek restaurants. They also cater though I haven't had the chance to try their services; I will write a review of the catering when I do.

• Pros: great food, price and decent service
• Cons: can take a little while to get order taken on busy nights but that is to be expected
