Mediterranean Grill - Clarksville: Authentic Shawarma & Falafel

Situated in the heart of Clarksville, Tennessee, Mediterranean Grill - Clarksville delivers an authentic taste of Middle Eastern cuisine that transports you straight to the sun-soaked coasts and bustling streets of the Mediterranean. This family-run gem specializes in traditional Jordanian and Syrian fare, serving up vibrant, flavorful dishes crafted with care and generations of culinary expertise.

The menu is a celebration of fresh, thoughtfully blended ingredients with irresistible options like their Hummus & Pita. This vegetarian, organic starter features creamy, handmade hummus enhanced by a bespoke mix of herbs and spices, drizzled with olive oil and finished with a sprinkle of warm paprika. The accompanying pita, locally sourced and fresh-baked, has a tender, pillowy texture that perfectly soaks up every savory bite—be sure to grab extra bread, as it’s impossible to resist!

If you crave something with a crisp, flavorful punch, the Falafel is a standout. Hand-blended chickpeas, cilantro, and parsley deep-fried to golden perfection, each bite offers a delightful crunch followed by a tangy hint of sumac. It’s a vegetarian lover’s dream, fresh enough to evoke those cherished street vendor experiences in Mediterranean bazaars.

For mains, the Shawarma Wrap—available with marinated chicken or tender lamb—delivers an explosion of spices and textures. The chicken shawarma, marinated and grilled to juicy perfection, is wrapped in a lightly toasted tortilla with homemade garlic mayo, grilled tomato, and chopped onion. The lamb shawarma and gyro wraps are equally impressive, with lamb sliced thinly from the spit for unrivaled tenderness, topped with creamy, fresh tzatziki and a vibrant mashup of pickled veggies that add a spicy-sour contrast to the rich meat.

Each dish sings with authenticity, drawing from the Kfouf family’s rich culinary heritage. The atmosphere at Mediterranean Grill is warm and inviting, reflecting the generosity and hospitality synonymous with Middle Eastern culture. Diners often comment not just on the impeccable flavors but also on the welcoming service and intimate, cozy setting that make every visit feel like dining with family.

To complement your meal, don’t miss the unique drink offerings. The Turkish Coffee is a sensory journey in itself—dark, finely ground, and expertly brewed over hot sand with aromatic cardamom that awakens the senses. Alternatively, the vegan, sugar-free Mediterranean Slushy blends the freshest mint and lemon into a revitalizing slush that’s both cooling and invigorating, a delightful palate cleanser and mood lifter.

Customer testimonials affirm the exceptional quality and heartfelt hospitality here. Fans rave about the freshness and flavor, with one reviewer describing the falafel wrap as so compelling it “nearly made me cry,” while others praise the hummus as the best they've ever had. Many note the quick, attentive service and the generous portions that make every dollar spent feel like a true value. The Mediterranean Grill isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a culinary experience that resonates deeply with those who appreciate genuine, soulful food made with passion.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through Clarksville, Mediterranean Grill is a must-visit destination to indulge in authentic Middle Eastern cuisine that delights the palate and comforts the heart. Each bite tells a story, and every visit promises to become a delicious memory.

We’ve been fans of Mediterranean Grill since their early days on College Street and for good reason! The Kfouf family brings generations of Jordanian and Syrian tradition to every dish they serve, and it shows in both the flavor and the warmth you feel the moment you walk in. It had been a while since we visited so we popped by their Madison Street location. This place is a true gem in our community, and we’re proud to keep sharing it with you! Whether you’re grabbing lunch, planning a family dinner, or catering your next event—supporting them means supporting a legacy of food, family, and culture. From slow-cooked meats to stuffed grape leaves, fresh hummus, and their legendary Ouzi and Freekeh, everything is made from scratch with love. And don’t sleep on their desserts and Turkish coffee bar—made to order and the perfect way to end your meal.

We had the pleasure of dinning at the Mediterranean Grill which we randomly found on google. This was the closest restaurant reminiscent of what we expereinced in Greece and Turkey. We ordered the lamb shwarma platter with fries, chicken gyro platter with salad and rice, and the lamb gyro platter. The meals were made fresh and were so flavorful we forgot to take photos. For dessert we had what seemed to be a puff pastry/phyllo (maybe shaabiyat or warbat) filled with cream cheese, drizzled with a honey based sweet mixture, and freshly ground pistachios. Our new friend Sam demonstrated how to make authentic Turkish coffee which was hot and bold. Sam was very friendly and hospitable. We will surely support this locally owned and operated business. Thank you Sam!

As a pregnant woman with cravings this falafel wrap was SO good it nearly made me cry, had to pull over and eat it because it smelled so good. Thank you to this small family business for always providing excellent food and great service. The mobile ordering had a technical glitch but the young woman was perfectly calm cool and collected, fixing it without delay. I can tell this is a business I will be back to again and again for my falafel fix!

Great food, slight hole in wall-ish feel. Love those kind. The Tzatziki sauce is FANTASTIC- creamier than usual chains. The rice has a specific spice added- I want to say a pinch of cinnamon; very nice & aromatic.
