"Part Kurdish, part Turkish, all excellent—Edessa is where you go when you want a proper sit-down meal. It’s where we take our out-of-town friends who want to know just how good the Kurdish and Turkish food are in Nashville. Their adana kebab plate is the thing to get here—two juicy skewers of chargrilled ground lamb and beef served with rice and a side salad that’s hard to beat. If you really want a feast, bring a few people and order their kebab festival, a dazzling display of grilled meats. And if you don’t order the kunefe for dessert, you’re doing it wrong." - anas saba
