Nashville has become a melting pot of cultures, especially international foodie culture, in the last couple of years. Whether you’re a downright solid fan of southern hot chicken or of the more adventurous sort, the kind that indulges in tikka masala and freshly baked naan, there’s a fantastic spot in Music City that’s more than suited for your personal tastes. Lyra, for example.
All of Nashville heaved a communal sob when Holland House closed their beautiful doors, but we've now been graced with the gorgeous presence of Lyra, East Nashville's newest Middle Eastern eatery.

Be prepared to indulge in Middle Eastern fare such as the ever-popular baba ganoush and hummus, but also dishes like fattoush salad and fried beef kibbeh.

Don't forget dessert! Options like pistachio halva crumble and Turkish coffee shortbread grace the menu, a perfect nod to the savory main dishes.
We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the beer cocktails and craft sodas on the menu! If you're looking for a sweet edge, check out the Sprecher Cherry Cola. Otherwise, take it from us: the Keyser Gose is made with hibiscus and house grenadine and it's quite lovely.
Lyra seeks to mesh the tradition of Middle Eastern cuisines with the culture of East Nashville while remaining loyal to the quirks and eccentricities of each. Don't get us wrong, friends. This is not your average falafel joint.
We'll meet you for drinks and a wonderful meal at 935 West Eastland in Nashville's neat eastside neighborhood, open for dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. nightly.
