I don't go here often enough! Why go to one of those unoriginal chain restaurants or eat fast food when you can get great food here for the same price? They're always friendly, the place is never busy (although it should be), and the food is fresh and delicious. Don't settle for a burger and fries, try something different!

Great lunch! Food was delicious and reasonably priced ($7 for the combo). I had the gyro with rice and drink. Portions were generous. Restaurant is spacious, comfortable and clean. It was a little slow as I showed up right at lunchtime and they seemed to be a little short staffed but they were friendly and efficient. Well worth the wait. Will go back again. Highly recommend if you're looking for Greek in the Nolensville Rd. area.

Good gyros. I went here after a friend suggested this place. He usually does the falafel sandwich so he did not know how their meats taste. On seeing the place from outside you'd expect it to be a tiny place with lots of tables stuffed together but kouzina cafe is exactly the opposite. The employees are very helpful and kind and assist you with what you want to get. I got the kouzina spl sandwich. It had both gyro and chicken with freshly sliced veggies some fries and a drink for $7.95. Not a bad deal for the price. The bread was well baked and fresh and so were all the veggies that went into my sandwich. They also have kids meals which is good for families walking in with their kids. The also take orders on the phone in case you are running late and would like to order in. I'd be back sometime soon to try the gryo sandwich by itself. For the fries I'm not getting them again, because one, I'm not a fries person and second they have to be outstanding for me to order them again.

5/5 UPDATE: The owner took the time to contact me about my review. He expressed his concern about my experience and offered to make it right with me on my next visit. I am quite impressed with the owner's response time to my critique and the professional manner he used to communicate with me. Based on this, I will give Kouzina another shot. I'm just not sure when due to an foot injury making it difficult to get around. Thank you Nabil & the staff of Kouzina. Original review: I tried this place on the recommendation of a friend. The environment is clean and the staff are friendly enough. The food was sub par. I paid 8 bucks for a gyro combo. The meat was tasty but the "fresh" ingredients are not fresh. The lettuce was slightly wilted and one step away from getting that slimy film that occurs when it's time to throw out the lettuce.

Let me start by saying that this is the CLEANEST restaurant I've ever been in. 100% health score, brightly lit and open, well-dressed and friendly staff, and fresh fixings on display at the counter. We ordered a gyro sandwich and platter, with a side of hummus. The beef/lamb gyro meat was great, the pitas were soft and fresh, the flavors of the tabouli, hummus and sauces were traditional and excellent. The portion sizes were quite large, so a great value for the $16 we spent. My only complaint would be the olives, which are the canned black variety. Given the quality of the other ingredients, I would have hoped for some good Greek olives. Very glad to have visited, and will be back soon!

Just your average gyros shop. I'm pretty sure most gyros places get their ingredients from the same place as they mostly taste the same. The restaurant was very clean. I got the chicken platter. The portions are big with lots of rice and salad. Overall it was good but you can get this food at most other gyros shops.

Kouzina has some of the best Greek I've ever had locally! If you don't like this place, you're crazy! The owner is so nice and very generous. Huge portions (see picture posted). Delicious fresh meat. Best cucumber sauce in town!!!

Someone call up Toula cause there is about to be A BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING UP IN HERE when I marry some falafel. This place has the best falafel I've ever had in Nashville (so far). I got Falafel greek (comes wrapped in a pita) + toppings of my choice and my man got a gyro + fries to share. Yes, pleeease. Everything tasted super fresh & it was exactly what we were craving. Thank goodness this place is in the neighborhood because we're hooked.

I am addicted to gyros! Well FOOD in general but gyros holds a special place in my tummy lol... I seen the reviews and had to come here as this place is close to me, it has amazing seating area not to mention the smell going on in my car from this food is intoxicatingly good. The two gentlemen working were absolutely friendly and the service is one of the best customer service I have received in Tennessee so that says a lot! The salad bar is fresh and looks oh so tasty not to mention my gyros, I got to lamb/beef and chicken oh my gosh FOODGASUM/coma delicious!!! All I can say is this will be my new gyro destination not to mention the cheap price!!!

I am giving this place 4 Stars for food and service. This place offers Greek style food that is fresh and fast. I had the mixed gyro sandwich with beef/lamb and chicken. The fresh chicken was marinated well and grilled to perfection...very juicy. I go to choose from the fresh bar the toppings: tabbouleh, onions, lettuce, cucumber sauce with feta cheese. The side options are rice, fries, or salad. I chose the fries (shame on me) and they were okay. The owner and his employee were very friendly, accommodating, and attentive. It's a place where you order at the counter and pick up at the counter with self-serve drinks. The price was right at about $7 for a full meal. I wish the ambience was more cozy and more comfortable. I don't have any suggestions for how to make simple Formica table tops and hard chairs and a big room more comfy. Who knows? Maybe it can and will be done. The map locator has this place in the wrong place. I offered Yelp an edit via the iPhone App. This place is next to Electronic Express at Nolensville and Brewer (much farther south than the initial map shows).

I was cravin' Greek food, went to Yelp and Kouzina has steller reviewers from fellow Yelpers and figured lets try it! Yelpers good work you were right!! Super clean, ans smiling friendly guys when we walked in. I could not believe the pricing. A whole platter for $6.59. How is that possible in 2015. Well it is!! I went with the mix platter (Steak and Chicken) they cooked on the grill for a few short minutes. 2 massive cups of rice, what appeared to be a full cup of tabouli, more peppers, jalapenos, 2 full pitas AND sauce. It tasted fresh and flavorful. I thought I'd have to take some home (so I got it in the a to-go box) but wow, I just couldn't stop. It was yummy! While I was there all sorts of ages, ethnicity walked in. 2 TVS with local programming on. Plus they just added a fresh ice cream / milkshake bar but I was far to full to get dessert. TIP: Google Maps shows the 'side street' as Oscars Taco Shop ...that is where Kouzina's is now located. Lots of parking, be cafe when trying to make LEFT back on to Nolensville road when leaving with a full belly.

I had the chicken gyro platter with rice, salad, and pita bread. It was very good and seasoned just right. I paid about 8 bucks because I added on fries. It was so much food that I could not finish it. The place is clean and neat. I will def be going back in the future.

First time I've had a gyro and thank goodness it was this place. The lamb was so tender and delicious. The price point was great with yummy fries. The extra sauce on the side was a good suggestion and I will definitely go back.

This taste like the most authentic Mediterranean food I have ever eaten. The falafels are absolutely fresh and delicious. The cashiers, counter persons, & cooks areall very accommodating and kind. I can't say enough about this place. If you don't get to eat here you are truly missed seeing some of the best Mediterranean food ever. My husband gets the lamb and he said it's delicious. He has had many different gyros around the areas. We eat here as often as we can. You will not be disappointed!

Walking up to the front door, you expect to walk into the standard Greek strip mall atmosphere, with old tables packed closely together. This is furthest from the truth. Walking into Kouzina. I was greeted to a roomy dining space, tastefully decorated in a contemporary style, where the eyes naturally navigate to the open kitchen, where (very) well-dressed artisans sculpt the gyro lamb into delicate slices, sear to perfection, and deliver it to your plate with a copious plethora of all the favorite "fix-ins" such as tabouli, and whatever that amazing cucumber sauce is called! (The gladly gave me extra of that). Make sure you stop in to Kouzinas, grab some grub, and leave with a smile on your face. This place is awesome.

This place is awesome. The food is always good and I've been here several times. $7.53 total for one huge mixed lamb, chicken plate with cucumber salad and rice! I have also never waited in line here. It always seems to be strangely dead. They were also open this past New Year's Eve. Being new to the area I was looking for somewhere to eat on Christmas Eve with my boyfriend and his family. I guess in the South more places close on holidays than the North? Anyway they were open and super friendly (as always). My family couldn't believe the food and the portions.

LOVED! Been looking for the best Greek food near us and we think this is it! Lots of room to eat inside. It's been clean and cool both times we went. The employees are kind and helpful. The kids menu has a good selection and is very well priced. The open kitchen is good entertainment for the kiddos too. We made Greek food at home this weekend and went by just for Tatziki sauce and they gave me an extremely good price on that as well. We like this much better than Blue Fig....cheaper and tastes better.

I passed this place a number of times both going to and coming home from work before I finally gave it a try. After reading the reviews from my fellow Yelpers I was excited to try it out and it didn't disappoint! The family and I, (2 kids, 2 adults) stopped in for dinner one evening and have been back a number of times since. The kids' meals are a great option because the portion sizes are a bit smaller but still have the similar options to the adult menu. The kids can also get chicken nuggets or a burger if they like. They have your usual gyro plate options/combos, platters, side dishes and choices of salads; tabouleh, cucumber, regular Greek. We have had the gyros, the platters, and my Son tried a burger one visit as well, every thing we have tried was delicious. The hummus is flavorful and creamy, the chicken is quality and well seasoned. You definitely get a lot of food for your money, be prepared to take half of the dish home and get the dressing on the side so you can reheat later! The icing on the cake here is the personal service. The Owner takes the time to greet you, discuss the menu options and help you build your plate in a very patient way. Rather than rushing you through asking you what you want, he takes his time and is very personable and seems geniunely grateful for your business. The last time we visited our Son (3 years old) was asking for a candy out of the machines repeatedly as we attempted to leave, we had told him no because he had candy earlier that day, but the owner came up and asked if he could offer change to buy it for him. Such a nice person! This spot is one of our go-to places near the house and we really hope they continue to get rave reviews and are very successful here.

I know you pass this wonderful place every day going to and from work, and still... you haven't stopped. Do not miss out out!! KOUZINA is a must. It's so good I crave it. You'll always get.. 1. Smiles and friendly service. 2. Your order is prepared quickly. It's fresh! 3. The food is delicious and not greasy. 3. It's yummy and inexpensive.

I love trying new restaurants and Tony and I noticed this new Restaurant a few weeks ago, and we thought "Why NOT"...so we wanted to try them out. When I went inside to get the food to go, I explained to the two men behind the counter it was my first visit to their new establishment. I found out they were serving Greek Food so I explained I don't order Greek Food very often so I wasn't sure what to order and asked for suggestions. I ended up ordering their version of a Philly Sub but in a Gyro wrap served with two salads and then a Combo plate with 2 salads, rice and Lamb gyro..so Tony and I could split them. It was smelled very good. I placed our order to go so we could go home and enjoy and share. He added Cucumber Sauce on the side so we could have extra. Well we enjoyed the food. I loved the salads and I loved the lamb. It was so tender! The cucumber sauce was very good and sort of thick like yogurt/ feta mixture. I loved it !!! I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!! If you get a chance to go here, its a must !! I will be honest I am not an expert on Greek Food but it was good to me!

Tara S.
Aww man this place is really good. Ordered a classic gyro sandwich with fries. It was made fresh and was out in a jiffy. I even ordered extra tzatziki sauce and it was quite tasty. The people working that day were extremely friendly. Inside was very clean. Dirty tables while people are standing around is a huge pet peeve of mine but that was definitely not the case here. I would definitely recommend this place for fantastic Greek food.

They probably serve the best gyros in Nashville area! I passed by this place on the way home from the gym. I was starving at the time and having a gyros salad seemed like an excellent decision. It was around 5pm and the place was completely empty. I guess most people do take-outs. I ordered a gyros salad and some falafels (never had these before). The owner was kind enough and gave the falafels to me free of charge. I liked the Gyros salad a lot! The meat was flavorful and the ranch dressing was delicious! The falafels, however, didn't meet my expectation. I felt like I was eating a chunk of MSG haha. I'll just stick with Gyros next time :) 2013/#90

Not sure if I went in on an off day of what, but the staff did not have it together. They messed up our orders multiple times, have an odd system of just shouting for people when they want them to complete their orders, and lack general communication skills among employees and customers. With there being so many greek/gyros places close by, I will not go here again. Hope they get it together, seems like having 8 customers at one time overwhelmed and frazzled everyone. Also, the food was alright, nothing better than what I could have gotten from another Greek restaurant, portions were good and I had some to take home.

Stopped by here for lunch one day. They seem to do more takeout than dine-in but business was decent. I got the lamb gyro platter, which came gyro meat, pita bread, rice, tabouleh and Greek salad. The portion size was huge - great deal for $8. The meat was flavorful, non-greasy and plentiful. I also got a piece of baklava, which was delicious. Service was fast, tables were clean, good value and good food. Check it out for a quick lunch or dinner if you're in the area! Next time, I'm going to try the lamb philly steak... or the chicken wings... or the chicken shawarma. Definitely something for everyone there.

This place is great! Tried it for the first time and was very impressed. First of all, the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, which is almost always a good sign. I had the shawerma (a marinated chicken dish), which was very tender and flavorful. Also tried the hummus, which came with fried pita bread that was unlike anything I'd ever had. Because it was Sunday, we also received free baklava with the purchase of two meals, and it too was outstanding. Overall, a very good experience, and will be coming back very soon!

Katie S.
Over all, I was very impressed. Good food, great service, and as is normal at Greek restaurants, huge portions!! Like I mentioned, the tzatsiki sauce is better than most I've had in nashville ...but man, do I miss tzatsiki sauce like I had when we lived in Chicago!!

A hidden gem that I hope more of Nashville discovers soon! I randomly tried this place while visiting a friend in the area, and have literally been back 1-2x per week since then. Friends that I've introduced to Kouzina have ALL become regular customers. Incredibly fresh, delicious food; great prices; amazing service. The best quality food for the money that I've found in Nashville, by far. I gladly drive a few extra minutes for the gyros here. The staff is beyond friendly and gracious - they are as much a reason to visit as the food. My personal recommendation: mix sandwich plate with tabouleh salad. For vegetarians, try the falafel. Literally the only "con" for this place is the decor, of which there is none. But seriously, who cares? Grab a seat in one of their booths and enjoy.

Tara D.
I went here for a late lunch on a Monday and was a little worried because there was no one else there. However I was pleasantely surprised by the service and the food alike. The staff is VERY friendly and accomodating and visibly eager to please their customer. I ordered the falafel plate and hummus to go. The food is super FRESH and everything I had was very good. The restaurant is also super clean and spacious. I would definitely recommend it and spread the word to help local businesses! Maybe if their business picks up, they can expand the menu a bit. Go check it out!

The gyro plate was huge, the wife and I should've split it, but it was very good. Stay away from the grape leaves tho, pungent smell and didn't taste good. The consistency was that of canned grape leaves that were opened and put out. But the gyro's are very good and the staff was polite.

Update: This is our weekly to-go spot. Please stop in, it looks like there's not a lot of customers at first glance due to the darker windows, but don't let that deceive you as whenever we are there they have a revolving door of patrons and have many orders are to go orders --we often have ours to-go after work as we know it isn't a long wait, but much better food than any drive-throughs! And, there is plenty of seating to accommodate those who want to eat in! There isn't a large menu, but large enough to give the whole family something to choose from and the food is fresh and priced right, the owners and employees are absolutely delightful and make you want to support them by coming again and again! Bring the family - there is something here for everyone! They have done a great job creating better ambiance and an inviting, family appeal! These are owners that truly care what their community and customers think! Stop in, the food is fresh, quick and as delightful as the owners!

Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

I went with the mix platter (Steak and Chicken) they cooked on the grill for a few short minutes. 2 massive cups of rice, what appeared to be a full cup of tabouli, more peppers, jalapenos, 2 full pitas AND sauce. It tasted fresh and flavorful. I thought I'd have to take some home (so I got it in the a to-go box) but wow, I just couldn't stop. It was yummy! While I was there all sorts of ages, ethnicity walked in. 2 TVS with local programming on. Plus they just added a fresh ice cream / milkshake bar but I was far to full to get dessert. TIP: Google Maps shows the 'side street' as Oscars Taco Shop ...that is where Kouzina's is now located. Lots of parking, be cafe when trying to make LEFT back on to Nolensville road when leaving with a full belly.

I had the chicken gyro platter with rice, salad, and pita bread. It was very good and seasoned just right. I paid about 8 bucks because I added on fries. It was so much food that I could not finish it. The place is clean and neat. I will def be going back in the future.

First time I've had a gyro and thank goodness it was this place. The lamb was so tender and delicious. The price point was great with yummy fries. The extra sauce on the side was a good suggestion and I will definitely go back.

This taste like the most authentic Mediterranean food I have ever eaten. The falafels are absolutely fresh and delicious. The cashiers, counter persons, & cooks areall very accommodating and kind. I can't say enough about this place. If you don't get to eat here you are truly missed seeing some of the best Mediterranean food ever. My husband gets the lamb and he said it's delicious. He has had many different gyros around the areas. We eat here as often as we can. You will not be disappointed!

Walking up to the front door, you expect to walk into the standard Greek strip mall atmosphere, with old tables packed closely together. This is furthest from the truth. Walking into Kouzina. I was greeted to a roomy dining space, tastefully decorated in a contemporary style, where the eyes naturally navigate to the open kitchen, where (very) well-dressed artisans sculpt the gyro lamb into delicate slices, sear to perfection, and deliver it to your plate with a copious plethora of all the favorite "fix-ins" such as tabouli, and whatever that amazing cucumber sauce is called! (The gladly gave me extra of that). Make sure you stop in to Kouzinas, grab some grub, and leave with a smile on your face. This place is awesome.

First time at Kouzina today and I have to say it was delicious!!!! I had the falafel plate and my partner had the chicken plate. Baklava for dessert. This joint was clean, fast, and so good. We found our new Greek place!!! Definitely a go to if you've never been.

I LOVE this place so much.. I'm there at least 2 times per week. The gyros amazing, toppings are fresh and delicious, friendly service and super clean.
(5)Orundi J.
YUM!!! Great value. Much food. So clean. Doge would eat here. Wow. Seriously this place is great. Subway for gyros, but with fresh real food
(5)Bill W.
Decent felafel. The tabbouleh is way too salty. Cheap lunch option if it is on the way.

This place is awesome. The food is always good and I've been here several times. $7.53 total for one huge mixed lamb, chicken plate with cucumber salad and rice! I have also never waited in line here. It always seems to be strangely dead. They were also open this past New Year's Eve. Being new to the area I was looking for somewhere to eat on Christmas Eve with my boyfriend and his family. I guess in the South more places close on holidays than the North? Anyway they were open and super friendly (as always). My family couldn't believe the food and the portions.

I am from Chicago and this is as good as anything I ever had in Greek town. Their gyros meat comes from Chicago. Portions are huge stop here when ever I can. Helps me miss Chicago food a little less

Clean and roomy dining area. Friendly and fast service. Flavorful and Fresh food. Enjoyable experience on my first trip here. I had the Gyro Platter w rice and Salad and it was delicious. Highly recommended, hope they stay in business a long time at this location.

LOVED! Been looking for the best Greek food near us and we think this is it! Lots of room to eat inside. It's been clean and cool both times we went. The employees are kind and helpful. The kids menu has a good selection and is very well priced. The open kitchen is good entertainment for the kiddos too. We made Greek food at home this weekend and went by just for Tatziki sauce and they gave me an extremely good price on that as well. We like this much better than Blue Fig....cheaper and tastes better.

I passed this place a number of times both going to and coming home from work before I finally gave it a try. After reading the reviews from my fellow Yelpers I was excited to try it out and it didn't disappoint! The family and I, (2 kids, 2 adults) stopped in for dinner one evening and have been back a number of times since. The kids' meals are a great option because the portion sizes are a bit smaller but still have the similar options to the adult menu. The kids can also get chicken nuggets or a burger if they like. They have your usual gyro plate options/combos, platters, side dishes and choices of salads; tabouleh, cucumber, regular Greek. We have had the gyros, the platters, and my Son tried a burger one visit as well, every thing we have tried was delicious. The hummus is flavorful and creamy, the chicken is quality and well seasoned. You definitely get a lot of food for your money, be prepared to take half of the dish home and get the dressing on the side so you can reheat later! The icing on the cake here is the personal service. The Owner takes the time to greet you, discuss the menu options and help you build your plate in a very patient way. Rather than rushing you through asking you what you want, he takes his time and is very personable and seems geniunely grateful for your business. The last time we visited our Son (3 years old) was asking for a candy out of the machines repeatedly as we attempted to leave, we had told him no because he had candy earlier that day, but the owner came up and asked if he could offer change to buy it for him. Such a nice person! This spot is one of our go-to places near the house and we really hope they continue to get rave reviews and are very successful here.

I love trying new restaurants and Tony and I noticed this new Restaurant a few weeks ago, and we thought "Why NOT"...so we wanted to try them out. When I went inside to get the food to go, I explained to the two men behind the counter it was my first visit to their new establishment. I found out they were serving Greek Food so I explained I don't order Greek Food very often so I wasn't sure what to order and asked for suggestions. I ended up ordering their version of a Philly Sub but in a Gyro wrap served with two salads and then a Combo plate with 2 salads, rice and Lamb gyro..so Tony and I could split them. It was smelled very good. I placed our order to go so we could go home and enjoy and share. He added Cucumber Sauce on the side so we could have extra. Well we enjoyed the food. I loved the salads and I loved the lamb. It was so tender! The cucumber sauce was very good and sort of thick like yogurt/ feta mixture. I loved it !!! I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!! If you get a chance to go here, its a must !! I will be honest I am not an expert on Greek Food but it was good to me!

Aww man this place is really good. Ordered a classic gyro sandwich with fries. It was made fresh and was out in a jiffy. I even ordered extra tzatziki sauce and it was quite tasty. The people working that day were extremely friendly. Inside was very clean. Dirty tables while people are standing around is a huge pet peeve of mine but that was definitely not the case here. I would definitely recommend this place for fantastic Greek food.
(5)Amanda C.
Wonderful food. The staff are the best and super friendly. The prices are great and food portions are large

They probably serve the best gyros in Nashville area! I passed by this place on the way home from the gym. I was starving at the time and having a gyros salad seemed like an excellent decision. It was around 5pm and the place was completely empty. I guess most people do take-outs. I ordered a gyros salad and some falafels (never had these before). The owner was kind enough and gave the falafels to me free of charge. I liked the Gyros salad a lot! The meat was flavorful and the ranch dressing was delicious! The falafels, however, didn't meet my expectation. I felt like I was eating a chunk of MSG haha. I'll just stick with Gyros next time :) 2013/#90

mmm... the beef/chicken Gyro was delicious!!! And it was like 5 bucks! Can it get any better? Oh yeah, the owners are really nice, plenty of parking and long business hours.
(5)Cee J.
This place has delicious food! And the guys are quick to make the food too. Theres lots of room inside and its clean!
(5)Natalie J.
Not sure if I went in on an off day of what, but the staff did not have it together. They messed up our orders multiple times, have an odd system of just shouting for people when they want them to complete their orders, and lack general communication skills among employees and customers. With there being so many greek/gyros places close by, I will not go here again. Hope they get it together, seems like having 8 customers at one time overwhelmed and frazzled everyone. Also, the food was alright, nothing better than what I could have gotten from another Greek restaurant, portions were good and I had some to take home.

I occasionally come here for a quick and delicious bite to eat. Always friendly and they always have fantastic food.

Clean, fresh, delicious, friendly, well priced, hearty portion sized amazingness!!! For $17 we got dinner for two that was absolutely fantastic. Go. Go now!!
(5)Bryan B.
For a classic mall style gyro place, this is where its at. I tried this place out and both the gyros and chicken breast wraps are great!!.
(5)Briana P.
Stopped by here for lunch one day. They seem to do more takeout than dine-in but business was decent. I got the lamb gyro platter, which came gyro meat, pita bread, rice, tabouleh and Greek salad. The portion size was huge - great deal for $8. The meat was flavorful, non-greasy and plentiful. I also got a piece of baklava, which was delicious. Service was fast, tables were clean, good value and good food. Check it out for a quick lunch or dinner if you're in the area! Next time, I'm going to try the lamb philly steak... or the chicken wings... or the chicken shawarma. Definitely something for everyone there.
(4)Terry W.
The owner actually sent a personal message apologizing for the service and offered a free meal. That is a man who cares about his business and building his customer base. Doesn't happen often these days! Thank you, sir!
(5)Kevin P.
I crave Kuzina lamb gyro wraps weekly. Never disappointed. Always great food and even better service.
(5)Rich W.
We come here about three times a month. The staff is super friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. The mix platter is a huge portion and a great value. So glad we found this place.
(5)Jessica S.

(5)Patrick S.
Great food, great service. Everything taste awesome here. The place is clean and prices are very reasonable. I love there philly cheese style gyro and there falafel is tasty too.
(5)Eric S.
This place is great! Tried it for the first time and was very impressed. First of all, the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, which is almost always a good sign. I had the shawerma (a marinated chicken dish), which was very tender and flavorful. Also tried the hummus, which came with fried pita bread that was unlike anything I'd ever had. Because it was Sunday, we also received free baklava with the purchase of two meals, and it too was outstanding. Overall, a very good experience, and will be coming back very soon!
(5)Katie S.
Over all, I was very impressed. Good food, great service, and as is normal at Greek restaurants, huge portions!! Like I mentioned, the tzatsiki sauce is better than most I've had in nashville ...but man, do I miss tzatsiki sauce like I had when we lived in Chicago!!

A hidden gem that I hope more of Nashville discovers soon! I randomly tried this place while visiting a friend in the area, and have literally been back 1-2x per week since then. Friends that I've introduced to Kouzina have ALL become regular customers. Incredibly fresh, delicious food; great prices; amazing service. The best quality food for the money that I've found in Nashville, by far. I gladly drive a few extra minutes for the gyros here. The staff is beyond friendly and gracious - they are as much a reason to visit as the food. My personal recommendation: mix sandwich plate with tabouleh salad. For vegetarians, try the falafel. Literally the only "con" for this place is the decor, of which there is none. But seriously, who cares? Grab a seat in one of their booths and enjoy.
(5)Tara D.
I went here for a late lunch on a Monday and was a little worried because there was no one else there. However I was pleasantely surprised by the service and the food alike. The staff is VERY friendly and accomodating and visibly eager to please their customer. I ordered the falafel plate and hummus to go. The food is super FRESH and everything I had was very good. The restaurant is also super clean and spacious. I would definitely recommend it and spread the word to help local businesses! Maybe if their business picks up, they can expand the menu a bit. Go check it out!
(4)Frederick W.
Amazing service. Great quality food. Best of the "fast food" Greek restaurants in Nashville.
(5)Jason H.
Staff was nice and the food was good! My wife had the chicken pita and I had the gyro and we will be back!
(4)Timothy L.
The gyro plate was huge, the wife and I should've split it, but it was very good. Stay away from the grape leaves tho, pungent smell and didn't taste good. The consistency was that of canned grape leaves that were opened and put out. But the gyro's are very good and the staff was polite.

Update: This is our weekly to-go spot. Please stop in, it looks like there's not a lot of customers at first glance due to the darker windows, but don't let that deceive you as whenever we are there they have a revolving door of patrons and have many orders are to go orders --we often have ours to-go after work as we know it isn't a long wait, but much better food than any drive-throughs! And, there is plenty of seating to accommodate those who want to eat in! There isn't a large menu, but large enough to give the whole family something to choose from and the food is fresh and priced right, the owners and employees are absolutely delightful and make you want to support them by coming again and again! Bring the family - there is something here for everyone! They have done a great job creating better ambiance and an inviting, family appeal! These are owners that truly care what their community and customers think! Stop in, the food is fresh, quick and as delightful as the owners!
