Alrayan Market & Restaurant

This place is a hidden gem! Its low-key facade makes it easy to miss, but it is definitely worth checking out. The menu offers lots of choices and it is awesome how clearly the vegan options are marked. The dolmades are delicious and the falafel sandwich is arguably the best ever! Portions are big, food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Interestingly the restaurant is attached to a market which hides it from the main road. Restaurant parking is actually around the side, but the market is definitely worth a look if you have time. We will definitely be back soon. Please be kind and love others! ☮️❤️

Hands down the best falafel sandwich in Tennessee! These guys never disappoint. I have had so many excruciating experiences trying to find good falafel in Tennessee, finally I never have to deal with that again. It’s crispy, it’s tasty and affordable. Comes with fries, pickles, olives and a dipping sauce. They also have several vegetarian and vegan options! One of the coolest things is that it is located inside a little market. The market has all sorts of cool imported foods. I buy spices from here and chips that I’ve never tried. Highly recommend this place for any falafel lovers, vegetarian/vegans, and anyone looking to try something new. Oh and the hummus is truly incredible.

Still one of my favorite restaurants. So delicious and consistently so. Reasonably priced and quick considering how fresh everything is. My server tonight was awesome. He's got a stake in it since it's a family joint. It's great seeing a place like this get bigger and better. And the grocery is a great spot, too!

Hands down one of our families favorite restaurants, not just in the boro, favorite restaurants period. We order from here at least a few times a month. They are consistent and the food is SO good. I will update my review with a picture next time. We make it easy on ourselves and usually order the mixed grill. It feeds our entire family and we always have leftovers to enjoy the next day. It may seem pricey, but trust me, for the amount and quality of the food you receive it is well worth it.

Ordered thru grubhub. Spinach pie, chicken and lamb shwarma, and tabouleh in pictures. All very tasty and full of flavor! The lemon in the tabouleh really comes thru and gives your whole meal lightness. The basmati rice with the chicken and lamb was perfectly cooked. I thought the yogurt was plain, but it's a delicious sauce that was amazing on the lamb. Definitely recommend it!

We love the restaurant! Food is great and reasonably priced. Sometimes you may need to let someone on the market side know you are waiting over in the restaurant side for service but that is no big deal, just part of the charm of this unique place and you get a peek at the store offerings as a bonus.
