Fiya, located in the Andersonville space formerly occupied by Jerry's sandwiches, describes itself as "soul food of the Levant." I don't understand what that means; as far as I can tell it's Israeli food, skewing towards less expensive dishes. This means a lot of menu items that are either vegetables or bread-based, like pita sandwiches or Salatim (small plates of veggies, hummus, etc. to scoop onto pita bread).
For our lunch, we ordered the Salatim to start. For $14, you can choose any 4 out of about 10 listed, with one delicious warm-from-the-woodfired-oven puffy loaf of housemade pita which was excellent. Extra pita loaves are available at $3 each. You also get a little tub of za'atar, which is a diced green pepper-based condiment to add a little zip. We thought that the hummus needed it.
For a main, we each had the Khatchapuri. This turned out to be a boat-shaped small loaf of airy bread in which was nestled some melted soft white cheese, a poached runny egg and some shakshuka (a tomato and red pepper sauce). I consumed it by sawing off the ends and dipping them in the egg-shaksuka mixture. It was quite good.
We indulged in dessert, too: an apple tart with a base of sweet bread, some soft sweet cheese and a few slices of apple on top. It was excellent.
We ate outdoors in the spacious, sunny walled patio behind the restaurant where there about 20 tables. While they accept reservations for indoor dining, patio seating is first-come, first-served. Nevertheless, at a few minutes past noon on a weekday, there were empty tables and we were seated at once. There are big umbrellas to provide shade and we noticed gas-fired heaters which will be used when temperatures fall. In addition, the restaurant is big, so they should still be able to accommodate quite a few diners even after it becomes too cool to enjoy dining outside.
The dinner menu has many of the same items as the lunch menu, plus a few fish and meat dishes.
Prices are moderate and the food is filling. The restaurant is open 6 days a week, closed Tuesdays.
