Sunday Funday brunch in Andersonville! That Jerusalem breakfast, salad, and French toast combo was amazing. Ethan is the best server, super nice and good service. Fun and chill atmosphere.

Fiya is one of my new favorite places in the Chicago area!! We got the salatim to start, eggplant, kofta, potatoes, and watermelon salad. Everything was delicious, but I think the eggplant was my favorite.

Classic hummus and pita bread was so good and came out fast. Bread was warm and fresh Schnitzel chicken was amazing. So juicy and flavorful. Large portion. The brisket was smoky and juicy. A bit fatty for my taste. Wouldn't order again. The cauliflower was very good. Zhug margarita was very good. The pet nat was very good. Service was nice but obviously very busy/ maybe stretched too thin. But honestly didn't impact our experience at all. Restaurant vibe is really nice too. Great setting for a nice dinner date or group friend hang.

Love the ambiance and the food! The service was fine as well. I would probably go back. My friend told that they have a better ambiance at the pation than inside. You should try sitting at the patio when you get a chance!

Loved my experience here!! Arrived early for a reservation and they were happy to seat me. Beautiful space, loved the open concept, beautifully decorated. My server was lovely, and was very patient while I waited for my date to arrive. Good was amazing, started with the hummus, and then moved into the salmon. Was prepared beautifully with lots of flavor! Did a non alcoholic lemonade, and was so good! Appreciated the garnishes :) Patio looked SO cute (but was just too hot at the time!) Well worth a visit and we will definitely be back!

My party of three stopped in for lunch around 1 PM on a Friday. We were seated right away on Fiya's gorgeous, shady patio. The restaurant's interior also seemed nice, with open windows in front and a large wood fired oven in the center of the room. Our server, Christian, was friendly and attentive. I got the green falafel pita with fries on the side. Their homemade pita was delicious, as were the four generously-sized, herbaceous falafel stuffed inside. I wish the falafel had a crispier exterior, but what they lacked in texture was made up for in flavor. The fries were an interesting chip-fry hybrid, which I also enjoyed. I thought the portion size of this entree was generous for the $15 price. I really enjoyed this meal and would definitely visit Fiya again! Try to sit on the patio if you can.

Walked in with the beau on a Friday night at 7pm and was lucky enough to get seats at the counter around the oven without reservations - it was solidly full, and unsurprisingly so. Fiya has an awesome ambiance: Open, casual and cozy / intimate interior that includes a wood-burning brick oven and nice bar space, and a lush outdoor patio in the back. What a gem! Then comes the food and drinks: Great Middle Eastern / Mediterranean cuisine and a wide variety of beer, wine, and absolutely delicious cocktails, especially those with Israeli-style street sodas. Service was also so friendly, helpful, and efficient. Excellent for dates and small groups, shareable dishes, drinks and tapas, dinner, and vegetarians. Highly recommend the Salatim starter. Happy Hour is from 4-6pm on weekdays, Brunch on weekends, and apparently they JUST opened their new Cafe this August for pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and lunch on weekdays from 11am. Definitely worth a visit!

I always leave Fiya with a full stomach wishing I had room for more! The menu is Levantine (seemingly Israeli inspired) and is full of eastern Mediterranean favorites. The menu is intended for sharing so keep that in mind while ordering. We sat on the beautiful well decorated patio which has a lovely garden, however, the interior is well appointed too. The service was friendly, speedy, and very professional. Well worth a visit if in the area!

Cute spot up in Andersonville, described as Levantine cuisine on their website. Ambiance has good aesthetic with open concept theme, centered around their oven. Menu is quite diverse with lots of options, best if you come with the intentions of sharing plates with the table. Makes for a better experience and you can try more things! We had mix of stuff- falafel which was great and not overdone like some places, hummus/eggplant platter, roast beef, khachapuri, lamb meatballs, sweet potatoes, schnitzel, potato latkes, steak. Our favorites include the sweet potatoes which were cooked in their wood oven so has that nice Smokey-char. Also loved the falafel and hummus. Service was so so, had to ask several times to order and the food came out of the kitchen in odd way. Meaning mains first then small plates later, so timing was a little off. Overall pretty good food, would probably give 3.5/5 stars. There are better Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food spots in the city but if you love this type of cuisine it's worth trying out.
