Extremely Satisfying Persian Food! While meat is typically the highlight of middle eastern food, the vegetarian options were independently amazing and can definitely hold their own! We got the sample platter, lentil soup, lots of pita bread, shirazi salad, vegetable skewer. Kids thoroughly enjoyed it as well! Fantastic dining experience. Only suggestion I have is to serve more veggies on the skewer…

We were looking for Halal options in Nashville and came across this restaurant. The customer service was amazing and the place was super clean and well kept. I got the kubdeh kabob and chicken and it was amazing ! The meat was super tender and flavorful. Everything looked fresh and I would certainly eat here again.

I absolutely love the place. It was fully packed however, got a table as soon as we entered. The place is real busy. A lot of middle eastern/ Iranian people were eating. So we knew that the place should be ‘authentic’. We started with a cup of hot tea, a typical Persian hospitality. Soon I felt cozy and warm. They have some complementary pita with butter and cheese, and salad. The salad had only bunch of cilantro! That’s weird. In other Persian places I have seen the salad with basil and white onions. Anyways, they had a couple of cubes of some white cheese ( looked like feta, but didn’t smell anything funky). However, we loved that. In main course we decided to share a platter. And we loved it. All the kabobs were juicy and soft and tasty, including the chicken kababs too. Usually the chicken kababs are dry and tasteless if not treated rightly. But people here has nailed that. Although I felt their portion size to be a little less, as compared to other Persian restaurants. But yeah, nothing to complaint. The entree was good. The highlight of the meal was the Persian ice cream. The portion was humongous, made of saffron, rose water, and pistachio. It’s stellar. The flavor and the aroma is subtle, not too creamy. It was more towards the sorbet style, howeverNot a true sorbet as well. It was not too sweet - overall truly foodgasmic! I highly recommend the place, and don’t forget to order the Persian ice cream! Thank me later.

Family-oriented. Fresh - made Pita! Outstanding Hummus and Tabouli. Had Lamb shanks, Gyros meat and Lamb kebabs. The Gyros meat was the most lean and flavorful we've ever had and that's saying alot as we've had it in most major US cities. 3 different types of rice. The seasoning is fascinating; very subtle and using spices you don't see everyday. Get both of the house-made ice creams-both stunning: one uses rose water, saffron and pistachios and the other Kurdish coffee!

Great clean family place everything tasted greatWe ordered spicy food and it was perfect to our taste. Not too spicy just perfect.

Flavor of the gyro was incredible. Rice was delicious and seasoned perfectly.my husband enjoys the ground beef kabobs and said it was the best he has had at a restaurant. Very authentic food and atmosphere. Will definitely be back when in the area.

Great service, food was ready quickly and was delicious. Beef koubideh was very tender and juicy, as was the lamb shank.

One of my go-to spots for when I have visitors in Nashville!As you may know, we have the biggest Kurdish population in all of US! And House of Kabob has been a staple for a long time in Mediterranean food (Turkish/Kurdish) for Nashville.My guests continue to say that this was their favorite restaurant, and we've been to many, from street tacos to upscale restaurants.Their mixed grill plates are delicious and perfect for sharing!

Plenty of parking. Conveniently located.One of the best dining experiences I have had in a while. The staff works as a team. And it shows. The food was delicious. There is a variety. Portions are decent sized for price. Overall great experience!

I was not really impressed with the food quality, especially comparing it to other Persian restaurants that I have tried.I think prices are fair.The GoodService was good. Employees are very polite and they are very attentiveThe restaurant is clean relatively compared to its price levelThe badFood quality was bad and that was not only my dish. But we were a table of 11 people. I would say most dishes were badAppetizers are okay but not Great.Meat is smelly and they use a lot of black pepper to cover the smell but also makes the food spicy which is not a trait for Persian food.Overall, I don't recommend the restaurant unless they improve food quality and taste. I understand it is tough these days to balance the budget, but ingredient quality is key in a restaurant success.
