"Nashville has one of the largest Kurdish populations in the US, and Edessa on Nolensville Pike is a beacon for its incredibly delicious food. It’s a place where you should order multiple things to share, including the cloud-like lavash and creamy hummus. But the kabob festival is where it’s at—you get Edessa’s haydari, ezme, baba ghanoush, salad, lentil soup, lamb chop, rice, and three different kabobs: adana, chicken, kofta. The kabobs are tender and bursting with flavorful spices. Get all three varieties to eliminate any decision fatigue." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
