Our Take
The Spot
Lyra sits on W. Eastland Ave in East Nashville, built around a wood-burning oven that turns out fresh pita meant for dipping into the restaurant's hummus. The kitchen blends old-world Middle Eastern flavors and spices with modern technique across a seasonal menu, with sumac and pistachio showing up often enough that reviewers keep naming them.

The food is paired with a wine and cocktail program that runs alongside the dinner menu. Lyra has built a following for its dessert options and for creative dishes that take familiar staples in unexpected directions, backed by a reputation for accommodating service and dietary requests even on busy nights.

Nashville Lifestyles named Lyra a city magazine favorite in 2025.
