Pillowy pita, hummus, falafel, wood-fired chicken & patio
"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
"Fiya in Andersonville is a wonderful Israeli restaurant. From the pillowy pita to the tahini-rich hummus that’s slick with olive oil to a khachapuri filled with shakshuka—it’s all delicious. And you can’t see it from the street, but they have a large, quiet courtyard behind the restaurant that’s filled with string lights and trees. It’s exactly the kind of relaxing spot that’s perfect for a low-key summer dinner." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
"Fiya opened in Andersonville in 2020, and this Israeli restaurant is great. From the pillowy pita to the tahini-rich hummus that’s slick with olive oil to a khachapuri filled with shakshuka—it’s all delicious. And you can’t see it from the street, but they have a large, quiet, courtyard behind the restaurant that’s filled with string lights and trees. It’s exactly the kind of relaxing spot that’s perfect for a casual weekday dinner." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Andersonville has a number of Middle Eastern options to choose from but modern Israeli spot Fiya, which replaced sandwich spot Jerry’s in June 2020, sets itself apart by representing the more than 180 nationalities that populate the state. Dishes and ingredients draw on the culinary traditions of Palestine, Iran, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, and beyond, with hits including a massive za’atar chicken schnintzel (torshi, tahina, amba, pita) and two types of Georgian khachapuri." - Ashok Selvam
"At this Andersonville Levantine restaurant the $45 dinner requires at least two people and typically costs about $78 if ordered à la carte. The Restaurant Week spread begins with salatim, hummus, a house salad, and khachapuri, followed by a choice of Moroccan salmon or chicken, and finishes with pavlova or fire-roasted cheesecake. The write-up also suggests using the savings to add a $28 wine flight." - Sam Nelson
