Cafe Rakka

One of our favorite places in Hendersonville, absolutely delicious.

First time trying, it was an amazing experience. Food was phenomenal i was full and needed to stop eating but I couldn't. Little pricier than other Greek restaurants but it was delicious.

Long time favorite.. proud to be a customer since before Guy came to town. Recent addition of Lamb Burgers is superb! Rakka flavor and freshness crossed with a burger.. you get a hand patted ground lamb patty spiced to order (medium was plenty for me), topped with cheese and fresh cucumber, lettuce, homemade pickles and onions in a split pita bun. It was awesome! Juicy with intense flavor and freshness you just can't get anywhere else. It's a unique item you gotta try. It's really a tie with my top 3 favorites here, along side the filet mignon medallions and the salmon. Not to mention the hummus and the baklava! The owner has a passion for food you can taste, and Rakka continues to be one of my absolute favorite places to get great food!

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!

I placed order from a screen, and entered a name and phone number. I went out to my car to talk on the phone. After 15 minutes I went in and asked if my order was ready. The girl behind the counter said yes and handed me my order. I asked why I wasn't called when it was ready. She said they don't get that information from the order . The chicken in the shawarma was dry, and lacked that wonderful Mideast flavor I was expecting. The raw onions were harsh. Order off a screen, no call when ready, food not up to par...that's how you lose business.

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!

I had the chicken&cream rice bowl(med spice level). Highly recommend. Just enough heat so as not to overpower the other flavors. Portion sizes are nice.

One of my favorite restaurants!

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! Parking: Plenty of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely accessible
