"At the center of Fiya’s open dining room is a massive wood-burning oven, which is responsible for most of the dishes on the Israeli-inspired menu. Like an incorrectly calibrated Pandora’s Box, this oven only unleashes good things upon the world: pillowy pitas, juicy whole-roasted chicken, and cheesy shakshuka khachapuri. This place is great for a casual lunch and dinner, but also worth checking out for their weekend brunch. Order the Jerusalem Brunch—a platter for two with 14 different shareable plates, including labneh, house gravlax, and a cucumber-tomato salad." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
