Couldn’t have been better! The food, wine, music pairings were are perfect. Please do more of these. We will be back for the food, drinks and friendly atmosphere regardless. Always leave with a smile on my face and a full heart
One of my all time favorite dining experiences. The menu is preset so you sign up ahead of time with any dietary restrictions, requests etc., and you just enjoy the night as you are told a story of the cuisine as you have it. The style is relaxed and presented as a family dinner served at home. We did the spirit free drink pairing as vegetarians, and all of us came away with multiple favorites from the experience. The owner also comes around to converse and serve, which is one of the many examples of the intention this place holds. As lovely as their main dishes were, their appetizers were my favorite part. Whether you grew up with desi food or are new to it, this will be a night to remember.
Tailor is hands down my favorite restaurant in Nashville. Their current Germantown location is easily accessible. There’s ample paid parking, and plenty of free parking if you don’t mind walking a block or so. Tailor offers a pre-paid (tip included), set meal, so it’s not the place to go if you have picky guests or food allergies. I love paying in advance because it means that when I show up for dinner, all there is to do is enjoy it. It’s worth arriving 10-15 minutes early to have a cocktail and hang out in the front “living room” area, a space Chef Vivek created to make you feel as if you’re being welcomed into his home. Once seated, you’ll experience a meal unlike any other. The courses start with a snack, and work through lighter bites, veg, meat, fish, and dessert. The food is sourced locally, and the dishes are inspired by chef’s family recipes, Indian heritage, and southern roots. My favorite part of the experience is Chef Vivek coming out before each course to tell the history, farmers, and technique behind each dish. You will not rush through dinner, nor will you want to. You are, however, going to want to book a reservation at least once a quarter so you can try the flavors of each season.
Southern comfort food with Indian inspiration! The experience from the moment walking in the door, in the bar, to the last moment after the chai was such an experience. Each course was perfectly plated and portioned for a tasteful experience. Personally, I think the 'soup & salad' was my favorite part of the meal. It was unbelievably delicious! The main course was also delicious and got better with every bite. We did the drink pairing and I highly recommend that! The chef came and talked to our group and we had such a wonderful time. I can't wait to go back for a new menu!
We really enjoyed the experience here, felt like eating at someone's home. Every dish was unique. The atmosphere is very welcoming. I loved the vibe and music which made it feel less pretentious. The fish dishes stood out and I liked that they didn't overwhelm the salmon with too much spice. We took any extra they offered and didn't regret it. Caviar... Yes. Truffles.... Please! The mutton courses were all amazing. One was similar to a steak while another was braised and served with rice/lentils/broth. Tough to say which one I liked better. We sat at the chef bar. I felt like the premium price was worth it. View of the chef's working is always great. We were first to be served each course. We received some off-menu extras, one of which was probably my favorite thing of the night. We'll definitely be back to try their other seasonal menus.
Tailor in Nashville is a truly unique and special dining experience.

The family-style dining concept creates a warm, communal atmosphere, and the seasonal rotating menu ensures that every visit offers something fresh and exciting. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated, making for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind meal in Nashville!
Perfection from beginning to end. It was an EXPERIENCE that you want to have with the people in your life that appreciate great food AND the story behind the recipes and traditions. The playlist was fun and whimsical. Make a trip to the restroom if you want to continue to be impressed. This is a truly welcoming, warm, delicious, and delightful event you want with your favorite person. Thank you, Vivek! You’re a treasure.
An absolutely lovely culinary journey from the comfort of Vivek’s ‘home’. Opulent and layered jewel-toned decor. Seasonal chef’s menu rich in memories and fused with technique and finesse. Drink pairings are spot on. Definitely worth a visit every season.
