The Best Restaurants in Nashville | Eater Nashville

"Nashville has the largest community of Kurds in the U.S., and halal favorite Edessa packs a ton of Kurdish as well as Turkish flavor into its Nolensville Pike strip mall space, with standout items like a savory Anatolian flatbread stuffed with spinach and cheese, a variety of kabobs (like Cornish chicken and lamb), and several pides. To drink, try ayran, a food-friendly salted yogurt, and for dessert, baklava or Turkish kunefe (shredded wheat with a layer of melted cheese, topped with chopped pistachios and aromatic sweet syrup, served with ice cream). —DJR" - Ellen Fort
