Al Rasoul Restaurant & Market

Al Rasoul Market is a great place to get all the middle eastern ingredients. The price for their whole chicken is way cheaper then else where in the city. They also have a huge range of spices, whole spice, dried fruits available at the store. A wide variety of chocolates and sweets including Turkish delight is also available at the store. It is my go-to store for any middle eastern culinary ingredients.

The food is delicious, but the service is lacking when I visit. It's a predominantly male environment, and I often feel scrutinized as a woman. Despite this, I continue to dine there for the food, but it doesn't feel welcoming to women. It takes me 10 minutes to place a to-go order and male clients are serviced before me. Good food but traditional old world customs! The younger workers are friendly.

I was searching for a Halal restaurant and also something new. The entrance is on the side and it leads to a market. You have to walk through the market and choose your drink in the market and then go and order. You pay for everything as you leave. The food was good. I showed up at about 730 or so and the guy there said if I had gotten there earlier they would have more of a selection. He said they have kebab every day and I'm curious to try and make it there early to see what else they had. They had three types of rice, and at the time of my visit, they had a lamb shank and chicken. I definitely will return. After eating I browsed the market and bought some items. You pay for everything after. Good to support local businesses.

This spot has been running for 25 years for a reason. Don't let the lack of Yelp reviews fool you. I've been hitting up every local spot in Nashville and this was the single best plate of food I've had. Super affordable and the flavors were spectacular. Great variety and a beautiful staff working there. Such a pleasure getting to know these folks and I look forward to coming back to this spot.

I just love this little place, the owners are always very welcoming and attentive. The food is the very best for I can't get enough the only reason I stop is that I will overeat and then have a weight problem. Every single time I arrive in Nashville I will make a beeline to this place. My co-workers who are Iraqi American's say it's just like home cooking in Iraq. Really the food is very very good and just makes you feel so much better than if you eat a burger or taco and the cost is no more than what you could payout at a burger or taco joint. Qusay, Fareed and Hani and Nabeel we all love it and will be back each time when in Nashville. I wish this market and restaurant was located in the greater Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington area. It's better than any Arabic Market or Restaurant we have here

A Nashville staple for over 20 years - come taste some authentic Middle Eastern dishes and the best kabobs in town.

I tried the rip eye with the fat melt in top of that mean omg it was hard to believe what's going to come out . Extremely delicious food and best guys

First of all thank you mr. ali . Besides everything else you are a amazing and gorgeous person brother and i like how you treat everyone with smile. And me and my friends and family love the food its super delicious and i like the prices God wiling of whatever you do, you deserve more than 5 stars I love their food and the best products, and i been coming here for over 13 years and i just wanted to write a beautiful review because its worth everything in this gorgeous market allah bless.

The flavors are incredible, and very different from anything else around here. The soups are especially good. I tried the spinach soup (!) and the lentil soup -- they both blew me away.The rotiserrie chicken is probably the best in town -- smoky, moist, marinated with a tang. I'm going back.

I ordered grilled chicken on charcoal.. it was well done, perfect spices, it comes with rice. I also ordered grilled sea bass on charcoal. It was tasty, perfectly cooked. They also have Kebab, lamp shank and different soup. I highly recommended and will back gain whenever I visit Nashville.
