It was an unusually rainy day in August when my son asks, “Have you ever had a lamb burger?”

Amazing food! I had the grilled chicken hummus bowl and my husband had the lamb shawarma hummus bowl. You can customize the spice level (mild, medium, hot), so I got mine mild and my husband had medium. He said the medium definitely had a kick to it. Both dishes were incredible, and came with a side of wonderful fresh pita bread. We also had a side of falafel, and it was probably the best we’ve ever had. Huge portions and super fresh! Everything is made with olive oil, so it’s very clean. I’m also dairy-free, and the food was very allergen-friendly for me. Highly, highly recommend!

First time coming to this restaurant. I have to admit the food was amazing it took some time and I was going to knock off a point of soul for that but I decided to be nice because I don’t know what was going on back there the taste of the food gives them extra bonus points plus the service is really nice seems like a small hole in the wall ton of flavor with the food small parking lot wasn’t too busy will definitely be back to try more the photo that I posted is a spicy chicken shawarma wrap

We always loving coming to this place. The food is always good, but we especially love the homemade tea and the hummus. As someone from this part of the world, the food is spot on and reminds me of home. I highly recommend that everyone should try this place out at least once.

Rakka has – by far – the best salads in Nashville. I’m also a fan of the tandoori chicken sandwich. The cold spiced tea is perfect for diluting into a gallon of water to make an excellent flavored water. Highly recommended.

My family ate here for the first time and we were blown away. The falafel was the best we’ve ever had, the hummus was amazing, and the portions were perfect. I had the Chicken and Cream rice bowl, my husband had the Lamb Biryani, my sister had the Chicken Biryani, and my mother had the Chicken Tandoori sandwich. None of us were disappointed, and three of us had enough left over for another meal. SO GOOD!!! Go eat here, you won’t be disappointed!

Delicious, unassuming, fast. I loved Cafe Rakka! The food was so tasty. They had a nice little outdoor area to eat too. The inside is small but super clean and nice. The service was also great. Staff was more than willing to answer all of my questions! We had bread, drinks and entrees. The price was fair for the quality of the food too.
