The 25 Best Restaurants In Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"If you want to start exploring all of the greatness bubbling up on Nolensville Pike, Edessa is the best place to start. The Turkish and Kurdish restaurant is located in an unassuming strip mall in Little Kurdistan and the food here puts on a show. Hunks of meat hang from a rack medieval-style, and pillowy bubbles of lavash bread are thrown right from the oven onto your table. There’s rarely a miss and it's an elite spot for a group dinner of excellent dips and mountains of meat. Share everything and ask for one of the cozy red booths. They comfortably seat four, but you can squeeze six if you’re feeling particularly ambitious. And because so many of the plates here are meant to be shared with a group, it isn’t unusual to find that exact situation happening all around the room. The more lavash, the merrier." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, carlo mantuano, ann walczak
