Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe

I tried to order a gyro here and received the most disgusting sandwich I’ve ever tasted. This place should be ashamed to call them selves Mediterranean. I hope they go out of business befor they have a chance to continue to serve such garbage to unsuspecting people

Went for lunch and got the chicken gyro. Nice place, good atmosphere. Gyro was delicious, just on the small side. Served with a side and chips. Overall pleasant experience.

This place was one of my favorite meals during a recent visit to Nashville. I first hesitated to go, b/​c it is part of a chain, and I was really trying to stick to local spots during our travels, but the craving for Mediterranean food was strong, and this happened to be minutes from our hotel.
They have done a very nice job of keeping the space clean. I’ve been to the Taziki’s in Charleston and found this one to be cleaner and nicer. The décor is simple and chic with dark wood tables and chairs to go.
The service is friendly and fast. Food came out minutes after ordering. We also appreciated that the manager walked the floor and checking in with everyone, very nice touch.
The food was THE highlight though! We liked everything so much we ended up eating here twice in just a short three day trip! I had their grilled veggie gyro the first day and split a dolmades plate with my friend. The second time, had the spicy pimento sandwich. The food was DELICIOUS and hit the spot, both times. Loved everything but have to say the dolmades was the star. Just perfectly seasoned, nice and fat and juicy, and the dips that were served with it, particularly the cool cucumber one, was amazing.
Even if there was a great local Mediterranean spot in Nashville worth going to, I still wouldn’t hesitate to go to this one again on the next visit!

Excellent choice for fresh Greek cuisine. I had the Chargrilled Lamb Plate with Greek salad and rice and my wife had the Chicken Gyro with grilled vegetables. Delicious marinade and seasoning on both and portion size was healthy for the price.

The only reason I’m giving this place a single star is because of the service. Food was great. My wife ordered a veggie gyro with no sauce or sides and I ordered a chicken gyro. We also ordered the hummus appetizer. The nonsense started when my wife saw there was pesto on her gyro and she requested no sides. The young lady that brought it out to us was new and very nice about the order and tried to explain that sides came with it. Fine. No problem. Then another young lady walks up with a very nasty attitude and appeared to be frustrated that we asked for no sauce or sides for my wife’s order. After we acquiesced and said no big deal, the one with the attitude snatched the number from our table and walked off muttering something. I was obviously pissed but decided that it wasn’t worth it. I took my wife’s order back up and the manager redid the order with no problem. Then she brought it back out to us and really made it worth staying to finish our meal. I didn’t mention the experience with the employee with the attitude. I’ll let Unilocal do the talking for me.
The food here is actually great. My wife and I try eating healthy so this place fits the bill. But after this experience I won’t be going back. We visit Nashville a couple of times a year but I refuse to patronize an establishment that has rude workers. I think some of the grace and kindness that the manager showed to us should be passed down to the employees. If you can’t handle dealing with customers then don’t apply for a job where you deal with customers!
I added a tip as I paid prior to getting our meal. It’s on their checkout screen. Maybe that should have been an indication of what was in store.

I have been wanting to try a Tazikis for a while. It was amazing and I have been missing out! Delicious food is an understatement. I ordered the grilled veggie gyro and pasta salad. I highly suggest you give one or both of those a try!

Food was great! Very quick service! Great place for a quick and tasty lunch! I had the lamb gyro which was very good and we had the hummus platter also very good. Small outdoor seating area was a bonus.

Food is good, healthy. I’m not a fan of their aggressive tip technique. When you pay they spin their screen around to give you the «opportunity» to auto-​tip them 15% 20% or 25%. This is before you’ve experienced their food or their service. (Which is limited to running food). I’d give the food 4 stars but that pushiness made me lose my appetite for Taziki’s.

Very good food and plenty of it. The bathroom is clean and hot water is sink which means to me it is sanitary. Value is very high, lamb is the best I have had in years!

Awesome food. Great for quick lunch

Order the grilled lamb gyro, and their roasted potatoes/​rice as the side. You can’t go wrong. With the chicken, a lot of it tends to be overcooked although I don’t mind their chicken salad. Their side of soup is great — zesty and lemony.
I enjoy their food — can always get a nice meal for $ 12 – 13 and it’s very healthy.

The Caesar salad is terrific and the lemon-​flavored rice is the best I’ve ever had. A
popular place with great food.

Healthy, fresh and filling Mediterranean food at a great price. So very rare for a fast food joint! My favorite is the pesto chicken gyro with a scoop of hummus (they’ll add this for free if you ask!) and a side of fruit. All gyros come with ruffle-​like potato chips and a side. They have an awesome patio to soak up the sunshine or you can get your food to go and hang out at Centennial Park across the street. It’s the perfect summer spot.

If McDonald’s did it like this, I might be a chain restaurant fan.
I was a little reluctant the first time I encountered a Taziki’s. Chain Mediterranean food? My only prior experience was with the horrible chain Greek place in the Chicago airport where I immediate food poisoning.
Anyway, back to the relevant facts. Taziki’s is DELICIOUS. Fresh, relatively healthy, well-​priced, and with plenty of gluten-​free options. Back in my younger, care-​free gluten-​eating days, I was a giant fan of the chicken gyro; now that I am older and digestively weaker, I tend to lean towards their grilled chicken, which is always well-​seasoned and tender. I am also a huge fan of their rice, which is slightly, but not overly, lemon-​seasoned. It’s not traditional, incredible Greek food, but it is a fast and cheap way to get fresh and nutritionally sound food. There is a patio, there is fast service, and there is baklava; what more could a person want?

I was really excited to see a Mediterranean restaurant. However I just can’t give it above three stars due to a few things. I did a take-​out order and called my order in. The girl on the phone told me how wonderful the chocolate cake was so I thought «why not.» I also ordered the chicken, rice and salad dish with a side of roasted potatoes and hummus as an appetizer.
The rice was a little overcooked slightly dry, The potatoes were perfect. The salad was delicious. Unfortunately the chicken was inedible! I must’ve just got a bad piece but it was full of fat and gristle. Out of six slices of chicken I probably had two I could actually eat. I was very disappointed. Oh and the chocolate cake that I was told is so good — it wasn’t in the bag, and I was charged for it.
I would go here again but I would check my order before I leave and possibly not order any meat.

I went for lunch today and ordered the Greek salad with chicken to go. I was sort of disaappointed when I got back to work and saw the portion size. For $ 10.91, I felt that the salad should have been larger. It was a good salad, nothing to write home about. If I go again I will probably eat in and order a different item. I did feel that it was healthy.

I had the turkey chiabatta sandwich with a side of fruit .thus was hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The service was great I highly recommend it!

Great food and attentive service!
We were a tad bit tentative given some reviews but it just goes to show, some times you have to try it out for yourself.
We had vegetarian gyro wrap and pork tenderloin sandwich.
Sat in the patio. The servers were so attentive and our sodas were refilled several times.
Food was very good and we will be coming back.

I think the food here is excellent! I usually get the Steak Tenderloins Feast Plate. I could eat it everyday if I could.
It’s not super fancy, but it’s perfect for the low-​key, after yoga workout, healthy food option!
I find that the serving sizes are a little small. I’m a really big eater, so sometimes I don’t feel full– satisfied but not stuffed, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I literally lick my plate clean every time. It’s just that good!
My only other complaint is that parking at this location is a total pain. There’s a lot right behind the restaurant that I believe is shared with Which Wich. In all the times I’ve been here, I have been able to park in that lot maybe twice.

Maybe I’m used to my hole in the wall Greek food, but I thought Taziki’s was nothing special after my trip this weekend.
I stopped in with my BF and it was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon, but has a very nice atmosphere. The restaurant is clean and open with lots of space. I also noticed right away that they offer wine and beer and they have a nice outdoor seating area.
We ordered the grilled lamb gyro and chicken salad with 2 waters, and it was around $ 18.00. Maybe I was thrown off by expecting the food and prices of my run of the mill Greek places, but I thought it was a bit steep for what we received. The chicken was bland and the lamb was not shaved in strips like most Greek places. The lamb was just OK and I liked the dill sauce but overall it was lacking. I had the tomato cucumber salad on the side that was my favorite part of the meal because it was seasoned well. I also had potato chips on the side, which I found odd. I would have ordered something else if I had known.
Overall, I’ve had better and will go somewhere less glamorous for my Greek food because I feel that you pay for the interior rather than a good meal.
