Lyra – Middle Eastern
Lyra invites diners into a vibrant, sun-drenched space where the air is thick with the intoxicating scent of toasted spices and warm, stone-baked man’oushe. Silky bowls of hummus topped with shimmering Aleppo oil or tender lamb shuwa anchor the table, encouraging a communal feast of crispy falafel and savory fatayer. The experience is a soulful celebration of Levantine flavors, where every bite of tangy torshi and earthy adas transports guests to the heart of a bustling Mediterranean courtyard.
