The Tastiest Greek in Nashville

Opah Greek Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (491) • $

"I love visiting Opah! The gyro plate is always a favorite, and the portions are large. With amazing food, great service, and even better prices, they are my favorite place for Greek in the Boro!"

Cafe Rakka

★★★★☆ 4.3 (428)

"Had a great meal here with a friend. The food is spectacular. I was looking for a good Lebanese or Mediterranean restaurant in the area that served lamb (other than gyro) and other favorite dishes. This place didn't disappoint! Fabulous all the way around and great service! Come check them out! I'm sure they'll win you over too"

Greko Greek Street Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (397) • $$

"I've been to Greko twice in the last month, and I think this spot is well on its way to becoming my go-to. It's soo hard to find restaurants with fresh, healthy options that also offer takeout, but Greko really is out here doing the damn thing.On my most recent visit, I stopped in around 8:30 and placed an order to-go. Normally I hate coming into a restaurant the hour before they close, but Greko was still relatively busy with folks dining in, and the cashier kindly assured me it was no problem. I've had their chicken and shrimp before and enjoyed both, but I love that Greko also offers a robust vegetarian option. This time around, I went with the Veg Bowl, with extra veggies. i also added a side of pita - and they serve it cut into triangles, which makes dipping oh-so easy.My bowl was just what I was craving - fresh and hearty, full of grilled veggies and topped with a creamy tzatziki sauce. The only thing I'd adjust for next time is adding an extra side of that sauce! You also get a good amount of food for the price.A big thank you to the Greko team for making sure East Nashville has healthy and satisfying options! I'm excited to continue exploring their menu."

Mediterranean Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (253) • $

"I came by for lunch today while in town and was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu items for vegetarians. The manager (or owner) shared his opinions since it was my first time and I decided on the Veggie Platter and it was delicious! It included tabouli, lentils, rice, hummus, falafel and pita bread. The hummus was delicious so I ordered another small portion as well. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting today and will be returning when I'm back in town."

Sam's Kabab Gyro

★★★★★ 4.6 (219)

"Sam's has the best gyros, pita, and hummus! Even their rice is delicious. Great portions and prices as well.On top of great food, everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming every time we come in. They will make you feel at home!!"

Fattoush Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (211)

"Nothing has changed since I was last here 3 years ago! The owner is still the nicest most welcoming person I've ever met and the FOOD is outstandingly!"

Gyro Tabouli

★★★★★ 4.6 (169)

"Very impressed! Honestly we first walked in and almost left. It's kind of dirty inside and looks like it's not going to be a spot you like. I would suggest to move past that and just go for it. It's very traditional and you can tell they know what they are doing back there. Food was very good, I was shocked how much flavor the meal had. They load you up a decent amount as well, you get a lot of bang for your buck. She gave us samples to go as well because we said it was our first time. Looking forward to getting something else here."

Parthenon Grille

★★★★☆ 3.7 (220) • $$

"After trying them for dinner one evening, we decided to host our wedding rehearsal dinner here in one of their private rooms. They had a very professional setup and service, even let us use their screen for our projector. The food is great! Love the Chicken Marino and the Parthenon dip. New York Strip is great too. Will be back"

Kouzina Cafe Gyros and Subs

★★★★☆ 4.4 (144) • $

"If you need a super easy and quick meal, stop by and grab something at Kouzina. I always get the combo platter. It has good portions and you get it relatively fast if you're coming home from work and need something quickly and relatively healthy compared to fast food."

Kings Gyro

★★★★★ 4.7 (122) • $

"In a nutshell, this is a small family business in a strip shopping hole in the wall serving up terrifically delicious gyros. Not much to look at from the outside, and not much to look at from the inside.A sea of parking spaces out front of the strip. A handful of tables close together, so it could easily get packed when busy, but they seem to do a good amount of to go business. Very friendly and efficient. Got the feeling they personally know a good number of their regulars. I can see why there are a lot of regulars. The gyro sandwich was absolutely delicious. Overflowing with a generous pile of crunchy deeply flavorful gyros meat accompanied by whatever veggies you would like. The lettuce was a little brown, but not so much that I was bothered nor tempted to pull off any pieces. Kings will be the first place I think of when I'm in the mood for a local gyro, so overlooking any little flaw in the place or the food, because a neighborhood business like this deserves all the love."

Zorba Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (68)

"4.5I was running errands on a Friday in mid-Autumn and found myself in Smyrna. This never happens. It was around lunchtime and rather than drive back to Nashville hungry, I thought I'd look around for something tasty and nearby. As luck would have it, I happened upon Zorba Cafe.It was easy enough to pull in and park so that was a plus. It's off a busy road so, I suppose, those who live nearby would enjoy its easy access. I walked in to a bright and clean dining room and a friendly man behind the counter. These are all pluses. There weren't many people in the dining room at my time of visit and not being recognized is an easy way for me to head on back out of the door. The man greeted me and I asked what should I have as a first-time customer. He replied, 'The Gyro Sandwich.' Done. I ordered that and a side of fries. I rethought eating out and asked for it to go.I started to make myself at home when I discovered that making my sandwich was an interactive experience, not a passive one. After shaving off a LOT of meat, I was asked how I wanted my gyro filled (onions, tomato, herbs, and tzatziki). Sandwich made, I waited a small amount of time for hot, freshly-made and season steak fries. Yes, please. I received my HEAVY to-go box, thanked the man (owner) and stepped out into the sun. I sped down I-24 W and made my way back home in record time. The aroma from the box compelled me. I opened it to find a still hot HUGE sandwich with an extremely generous amount of freshly-shaven meat, pillowy pita and all the ingredients I'd chosen. The fries hadn't gotten soggy (fresh makes all the difference) and seasoned potatoes will always be the way to go over bland starch. I got to the business of eating and was thoroughly pleased. The five-star reviews don't lie. Zorba Cafe is the truth."

Gyros King

★★★★★ 4.7 (67)

"Wow!!!! Finally, finally found a Greek restaurant and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg!! (Calling all YELPERS!)I got the Gyro plate and hubby ordered the King mix plate. Both plates were plentiful, and very fresh and outstanding taste!They are a new restaurant in the area and off to a running start. Very friendly staff.The facility is clean and well kept. (Even the bathrooms) the only thing is they may have to move to a larger place because lunch time was busy and they need more seating However, that didn't slow down any business here. Thanks Alex and Mena for making my first visit a great one!As Arnold would say ". I'll be back "!"

Chicago Style Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.1 (88)

"What a sweet little family business. Their food is great and they give big portions. They are family run and seem to really care about their customer service from what I've experienced. I always get the combo platter and really like their salad ingredients that come with it. It's in the take out rotation for us now."

Greek Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (108) • $

"Driving north on 65, about 30 miles to go, singing off key to a classic Queen song, watching for the buffalo on the hill, minding my own business, when out of the blue my husband says "we need to eat something. Where do you want to go?" I'm awakened from by roadtrip coma. I shake my head trying to make a coherent statement and sentence when the inevitable "I dunno" slides right out. It's straight to Yelp. Lot's of fast food, nope. Then I spot a 4 1/2 star restaurant but we'd have to get off at the next exit. A half mile and 3 lanes to cross, we get off the exit only to be in the wrong lane. A fellow driver must have taken pity on us with our out of state plate and let us cross in front of him, making him miss the light. We get to Greek Cafe and we were the only ones there. They advertised a lunch special but, thank goodness, we only ordered gyros, they were almost too large for one person to eat. I had the lamb and beef gyro while my husband had the mixed grill shawarma. Gyro oand chicken with grilled onions and peppers. They were off the grill rather quickly and I went through the topping bar with speed. It was pretty out so we opted to eat on the patio. Both gyro were delicious and huge. I was able to get through about 3/4 of it before I reluctantly had to stop. My husband managed to finish his and the rest of mine. Better put - we didn't have an opportunity to eat again until after we checked into our air bnb in San Jose. By then we were getting a little hangry but it was also almost 10 hours since lunch.We'll make sure to build time into our travels to the airport so we can visit Greek Cafe again."

Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe - Hendersonville

★★★★☆ 3.7 (79) • $$

"I absolutely love this restaurant. They have a seasonal spinach and watermelon with feta and pecans that is out of this world. I also got it with chicken, which made it even more delicious. I love the dressing they put on it as well. I hope they keep this as a regular staple at this time of year."

Maro's Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.1 (59) • $

"Stopped here 12 August 2020 with a coworker. Lunch was great, price reasonable and customer service was great. Ordered the mixed gyro. Pita was loaded with meat and veggies. Seasoned fried were tasty. A smidgen over fried for my taste, but were definitely hot and crispy."

Brooklyn Pizza & Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (85) • $$$

"Lots of good veggies (onions, peppers, tomatoes and black olives) on the Veggie pizza but the pizza crust and sauce were bland, and there was very, very little cheese on the pizza ....making for a mediocre pizza. The delivery was quicker than quoted, thank you, but I will continue to search for a great tasting pizza."

Kebab Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.1 (57) • $

"Came here based on YELP review! I'm usually hesitant to try new places because of the unique ordering processes and I'm not your typical adventurous foodie! Anyways I came here hungry to an empty restaurant mainly because it was after lunch and the courteous gentlemen behind the counter really help me choose!The food& drink is served on polyurethane plates and cups! Which I presume is a good way to keep the prices low! The Gyro platter was heaping and delicious to say the least! The tzatziki sauce was delicious and Pita Bread was fluffy & fresh!I left there full and satisfied! Based upon my first time experience, I highly recommend this place!I hope to be back again someday soon!"

Greek Style Gyro

★★★★★ 4.5 (42) • $

"The term "salad" is loosely applied here. I ordered the combo salad. There was more meat than greens. I'm not complaining because the chicken and gyro were perfectly seasoned and so, so good, but the greens were really a standout for me. The tangy dressing balanced the spicy of the meat.Their special sauce wasn't horrible, but it was rather ordinary and didn't add anything to the salad, at least for me. It did mellow out the flavor of the gyro spices. Because I am now obsessed with that gyro and chicken, I don't think I'd be tempted to get extra of the sauce. The people working were all kinds of friendly and awesome. It's too bad I'm not closer to this spot as I think I would enjoy trying other things on the menu. Come to think of it, I did have a cooler with me in the car, so I should have ordered something to go. Lesson learned for next time."

Kabob Gyros

★★★★☆ 3.8 (56) • $

"This was a one man show when I went, but he worked fast and we were served hit, fresh food.Super clean space, you could smell how clean it was!I got the chicken plate and my friend got a gyro and fries.Such generous portions, but could have used a little more flavor on the meat.Fries were amazing!!! I'd go back for those."

Chicago Style Gyros

★★★★☆ 4 (47) • $

"This has always been my go-to when I'm craving some good comfort food. I love their gyro plate with rice, salad, and bread on the side. You get A TON of food that could probably honestly last for 2 meals (but it's too good to spread out so I eat it all in one sitting... oops). Their horchata is fantastic and perfectly sweet as well."

Kebab Gyros Greek & Italian Food

★★★★☆ 4.4 (38)

"I have not given a five-star review in quite a while but Kebab Gyros definitely earned it--the food was THAT good. The restaurant itself could use a facelift but I was there for the food and not the ambiance.I ordered 2 Chicken Plates and a side of Tabbouleh to go. After tax and 20+% tip, my total was $22 and there was a lot of food.The chicken plate comes with a huge portion of rice that was so flavorful and 3 or 4 big chunks of grilled chicken that was seasoned perfectly. No need to add your own salt, pepper or seasonings. There was a small side salad (lettuce, cheese, olives, jalapeno, tomato), pita bread and this delicious white sauce (some type of Ranch dressing base) on the side.My husband already told us that this is our new go-to for Greek chicken. I completely agree."

Garden Greek Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (34)

"This is a great little Mediterranean gyro shop located on Rutherford Blvd and John Bragg Hwy. I stopped in at about 10:30 in the morning because I had left the house early without eating breakfast. When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised to see some familiar faces from Opah Grill on Old Fort road next to Walmart. I learned that this is their second location.That being said, the food is wonderful and the service is top notch! I love their mixed grill and the Baba Ganoush. I could eat a bucket of that wonderful eggplant dip and be happy...especially if it was accompanied by falafel!Do yourself a favor and go check this place out, you won't be disappointed!"

Chicago Style Gyros At Harding Place

★★★★☆ 3.8 (45)

"I went to Chicago Style Gyros today with a buddy from work. It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised!!! The food was wonderful!They even had Lamb shank on the menu, which I will definitely be back try try very soon. And the prices are very very very reasonable.I would say that the only downside to my experience was that they drenched my kebabs in sauce (but that was partially my fault), I should have asked them to go light or to put it on the side. Don't get me wrong, I ate every bite, but I like to look at my food not have it covered with a sauce. As a side note the cucumber sauce was wonderful and that chicken and beef kebab were excellent.The family that owns this wonderful restaurant is middle eastern (which I love) I'm thinking either Syrian or Lebanese, But didn't want to ask or make them feel uncomfortable. I just say this to celebrate the diverse ethnicities that make up the best about Nashville as a whole!!!"

Gyro Star

★★★★★ 4.5 (31)

"Gyro Star is located in the same plaza as Food Lion, specifically located next door to China King with plenty of parking. Since our hotel was very close by this restaurant, we ended up ordering food to go from here twice, 2 days in a row. I will just share our experience with the last order we made, which was:Gyro Plate, $8.99 prior to tax- This entree came with a small side salad, pita bread and rice. There was a good portion of meat as well. This entree really is perfect for two or leftovers for a 2nd meal. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. The rice was tasty and the pita bread was warm. Excellent price for the amount. Falafel Salad, $9.99 prior to tax- I opted for a falafel salad and had requested that dressing to be on the side. I was surprised to find such large pieces of falafel. It was tasty and had great texture. Very filling and perfect to share or leftovers for another meal. ------------------------- (Total= $20.74 after tax)After we made our to go order over the phone, we were told it would be ready in 15 minutes. When we arrived, we had to wait in line to pay at the register. Our food was ready though so that was nice that we didn't have to wait additionally after paying. Although this place does have seating, it seems like most patrons were just coming in to pick up and pay for their to go orders like us. Gyro Star is a hidden gem and would love to come back here and try their other entrees."

Gyro & Philly Steak 2

★★★★★ 4.8 (27)

"Great food at a good price! Good menu selection for whatever you desire. We ordered the gyro mix plates with tabouleh and cucumber sauce. The meat was seasoned very well and the sides tasted very fresh. The serving size was more than adequate, and a good value for the price. Pita bread was done just right. A great addition to this area. I hope it does great here. We will be back!!!"

Horus

★★★★☆ 3.5 (48) • $$

"We had food delivered for Horus last night (via Doordash), and it was delicious! We started with the Greek salad for something light and then shared the whipped feta (not so much whipped as crumbled and tossed with herbs, spices, and peppers - very delicious though!) and the fasoulya (a bean soup/stew) for starters (the fasoulya had good flavor, but I thought the beans could have been more tender - not our favorite bite of food). Then we shared the pastitsio (on their menu as bechamel beef). If you've never had pastitsio, imagine a cross between moussaka and lasagna - pasta, ground meat (in this case beef), bechamel sauce, cheese. Horus's version was hearty and tasty and exactly what we wanted. We also shared a slice of basbousa (a semolina cake soaked in syrup). This was delicious, but it was a huge slice! (The picture on Doordash was a more traditional square piece - sometimes you also see it cut into diamonds - so we weren't expecting quite so much; we finished it though!) While we've never dined in, based on this delivery experience, I'd be happy to. And we'd be happy to order delivery or takeout from Horus again!"

Pyramid Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (33)

"While shopping at Cool Springs, I worked up an appetite. I took a lunch break in the food court, walking a lap past all of the food court kiosks and finally deciding on Pyramids Cafe.Pyramids Cafe offers sandwiches, salads, dinner plates, and Coke beverages. Some items on the menu include Philly steak, chicken, turkey, BBQ, gyros, falafel, tabouli, Greek salad, and more. The staff was toting their Combo Deal which is any 7" sandwich with fries, rice, or salad, and drink for $6.99.However, I decided on the Falafel Plate ($6.99) which was piled with plenty of food including 4 fried/crispy falafel patties topped with a creamy yogurt sauce, rice pilaf, tabouli and warm grilled Syrian bread. The food was pretty good and very filling. The faIafel and rice pilaf had a slightly salty taste and the tabouli was very light and fresh. The grilled Syrian bread was very warm and soft. I did save room for a refreshing healthy smoothie at the Smoothie King kiosk."

Chicago Style Gyros

★★★★☆ 3.7 (37) • $

"This was one of my go to lunch places for a while before March 2020. My office is in Goodlettsville so I liked the closeness of it and you could get in and out quickly without it being too expensive. However, the past couple of visits have been longer and the prices are out of my cost range now.The food is ok, if you go while they are busy, you will have issue with the quality of the food and the time it takes to get your order. Since I only go during lunchtime, this ends up being a problem for me. I have to get out and back to the office in a short time so I need to get the food and go.The restaurant itself is clean and there is plenty of space to spread out. There is private parking and it's easy to get in and out of. I visited this past week and one lunch platter that used to be under $10 was $19 and some change. While I understand everything is getting more expensive, I have not making more money so I'll have to pass going forward until the prices go down."

Mixed Grill Gyros

★★★★★ 4.6 (22)

"A new Greek spot finally opened back up in the old greek spot place near Planet Fitness and Calabria. We'd been missing our greek fix for sure and were thrilled these guys came in and took over.The folks inside are super nice guys and want you to enjoy your food and experience. If you're not familiar with what they have to offer, just ask and they'll be glad to explain everything to you.I'll say this for sure: I haven't had a ton of falafel in my life, but of those that I've had, theirs was the single best ever! Definitely a must-try if you're stopping in. The rest was very good Mediterranean fare with fresh meats, quality veggies, good salads and that must-have cool taste of the tzatziki sauce. Ya'll need to run by here and support these guys so they stick around!"
