Kardes Turkish Grill & Bar

We had an excellent dining experience here on Friday for a casual date night. The staff is so kind and attentive. When you sit at the counter you’re immediately greeted and provided complimentary Turkish tea. If you don’t want to sit at the counter there are lots of tables in the shared area you are able to dine at. The meals are prepared fresh in front of you by the staff. The hummus was the best hummus we have had in Nashville. While we waited for our main entrees, we were given some bites to try off of their appetizer menu. Everything was delicious. Our main meals were filling and so well executed. Everything was very fresh, well made, and delicious. The prices were very reasonable for this area as well. We spent around $50 for an appetizer, 2 entrees, and drinks. Will definitely be bac

We were excited to try this place out, and it did not disappoint! We had the chicken skewer and the kisir. The “yogurt sauce” was a type of Taziki sauce. We are already plotting on when we can return to try the meatballs and lamb!! We spoke with one of the owners, Selim, who was very friendly and explained the Turkish cuisine and hospitality. It’s fun to watch those guys at work creating such beautiful and delicious dishes! FYI no alcohol served. We got drinks from a bar next to the restaurant and brought it over.

🤯 Yes …. this is truly a restaurant worthy of the mind blown emoji! I was lucky enough to discover Kardis upon a recent trip to L&M Market. The experience was perfection. From the warm welcome with Turkish tea to learning about the unique dishes and offerings woven with cultural stories from chef owner Oscar. I was transported to Antakya with every dish. The menu has both vegetarian and carnivore options and what is obvious to me is the level of detail in the sourcing of the ingredients, the family honored recipes, and the quality of each delicious bite. It’s a beautiful bridge between our two countries to have this shining star of Turkish cuisine offered in Nashville and I look forward to my next visit as I will be working my way through the menu. Today I ordered the Kisir and Kofte

Amazing experience with the chef, my wife and I went for an impromptu dinner craving Turkish foods and we were blown away. Such balanced flavors and well plated dishes, with a creative menu and awesome chefs. Very kind people and amazing food, will definitely be back. By far some of the best tasting Turkish food I’ve had in Nashville. We had a sample of every dish on the menu - not a single bite was left behind.

Such a great new spot with amazing food and even better people A friend suggest so I checked out this brand new Turkish restaurant and honestly loved everything about it. The food was fresh, cooked perfectly, and was homemade and you could tell. I had the Kisir (kind of like a bulgur salad served in lettuce wraps) which was light and delicious. The Börek was flaky and hit the spot. And the pumpkin dessert with kaymak was unexpectedly good. The kaymak (had to google it - it's clotted cream) takes it over the top. Finished with a Turkish coffee, (it's supposed to have grounds on the bottom) which was strong, smooth, and exactly how it should be. The owners are Cem, Selim, and Oscar and are so kind. You can tell they care about the food and the experience. They make you feel like you're a
