Reviews of Cafe Rakka
"One of our favorite places to eat in the greater Nashville area! Chef Rakka owns and operates this restaurant for many years now. He serves the best Baba ghanoush we have ever had anywhere! It’s roasted eggplant that has a subtle smoky flavor, it’s very creamy and delicious. He serves it cold as an appetizer with fresh pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top. It’s served with warm pita bread. We also enjoy the fresh hummus which is mashed chickpeas served with a drizzle of olive oil as a cold appetizer with warm pita bread. He also has a tabouli salad which is fresh diced parsley and bulgar wheat. This healthy delicious salad is my favorite thing on the entire menu and is also the best tabouli I’ve ever had. We love coming here to eat. Don’t forget to try the complimentary cucumber water it’s very refreshing!"
"Funky little joint with something for everyone including vegetarians. The food was delicious, fresh, and unique. The service was prompt, polite & done with a smile. Atmosphere is pleasant and upbeat. There's a dining area outside if you choose to enjoy the breeze. Highly recommend!"
"This was our first time at cafe rakka. We had high expectations after local reviews and knowledge of a triple D episode back in 2010. I ordered the chicken tandoori hummus bowl and my husband got the lamb biryani. The chicken was really dry and lukewarm (probably being held on the line) but the hummus was really good. Loved the pickled turnips and onions to accompany the hummus. My husband’s lamb biriyani was good, but he ordered it spicy and the spice wasn’t as elevated as he expected. Definitely try it for yourself, even if it’s just for the hummus!"
"We visited early in the day just after opening. The young man behind the register seemed to be struggling to be ready to open. We were told that today was the first time that they had opened since the tornado came through a week before. We placed our order and sat to wait. The food came out in a timely fashion and was quite good. We had order a "house water" as a drink when we placed our order. We were told by the young man that he would bring it out. Each time he came to our table (first to clean it, them the silverware, then the two entrees) he would yell us that he was getting the water. Finally I walked up to the counter to tell him I would just buy a bottle of water instead. He then poured up the water and gave it to me. We had also ordered Baba Ghanoush but when I went to get the water, I asked about it and was told that I didn't order it. No apology given for his mistake of not hearing it when both my wife and I said it. In light of the recent storm damage to the area, and the fact that it may ha e just been a rough start to the day, we will give them another chance in the future."
"It was an unusually rainy day in August when my son asks, “Have you ever had a lamb burger?” “Never even heard of one.” I said. “Oh, we gotta spot. You have to try one.” He seems excited. Off we go through the wind and the rain. I’m secretly thinking, “is this going to be worth the trouble?” Turns out, it was. We loved it. It was worth every bit of trouble. My son and my wife had the lamb burger and I had the lamb wrap. There were both outstanding, a distinctive Mediterranean flavor but not overdone with spices. We ate like kings and queens while Herbie Hancock’s “Maiden Voyage” played on the speakers overhead. There’s just something soothing about smooth, classic jazz while you eat. We give Cafe Rakka five stars. Thanks for a great meal."
