On the positive side,the food was very good skirt steak and pot pie entrees were excellent as was the falafel and hummus appetizer the space is great, both open air front and back patio on the other hand it was disappointing that they were out of 1/3 of their entrees ( all fish, all chicken and Kafka) and service was friendly, but we had to ask several times for drinks we ordered and clean silverware

Our son just moved to Chicago and was anxious to take us to Fiya and we are so glad he did! The food and the vibe were outstanding! The outdoor seating is in a magical backyard and the area where the restaurant is located is wonderful for a stroll before or after dinner!

We were a party of eight. We ordered appetizers and drinks. The food came to the table, but no sign of drinks for a long time. So I reminded the waiter about our drinks. He said he would check but that they were understaffed so it was taking longer. Fair point. I joked that drinks is where they make the money.
15 minutes later the manager (at least that's who she said she was) came by with a very aggressive attitude to tell us that they were short staffed and the problem was that we ordered too many different drinks. We told her that we may have but that they screwed up our drink orders anyways (which we did not complain about) and we did not get what we ordered.
She then said she was informed by her staff that I abused the waiter. So we had the waiter come by and he repeated what I said about they make money on drinks. I asked how that was abuse. no answer.
But, by this time she was visibly angry, got into a shouting match, asked us to leave immediately (or she would call the cops), and for good measure, called us "MF ...^%#$^" on our way out.
Oh, by the way, the food wasn't great.
Some familiar foods, some not
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.
