I was a little late to my reservation by because of traffic and trying to find parking. Which make sure you Uber because they don't have any parking and what they do have is clearly used by the team members. My reservation was at 5:15 and I showed up at 5:23. They turned us away and then canceled my reservation at 5:25. Then they said they don't have anything until maybe 6:30. It's date night so you have a whole night of fun planned. Anyways we got turned away when they had a restaurant full of tables minus the bar and the middle section with the booths. You can move things around and be more convincing to guests walking in about delays when it's full more so than you can when it's empty. Didn't try food so I'll give it one start. Service was definitely rated one star. No one was mean or rude. Just lacked the piece of hospitality that comes with working in the industry. Like no one wanted to help they just gave an idea of a possibility and hour later. Atmosphere seemed like a vibe but I'm giving it one star still since we didn't get to experience it.

We’ve been here a few times, but it has been a year since the last time we dined. Strangely we were turned away last week. We called ahead for patio seating and to ensure we could bring our puppy. We were told yes, then once we arrived, we told that 64 degrees is too cold and the patio has a temperature cut off. All very strange. We drove pasted on the way home from where we actually had dinner and there was a man and child on the patio. Not sure why we were turned away.. I don’t want to speculate, but this left a bad taste in my mouth.

Stopped here after arriving in Nashville and was one of the few spots open at that time. Ample parking, was immediately seated. Service was good as was the food. Ordered the sumac chicken which I was told was pasture raised! I was told the dish would be enough for 2 people to share but I totally disagree. Was just barely enough to fill me.

Generally speaking we have loved it here, and have come here for the great happy hour for several years now. The pita and drink specials are wonderful and have kept us coming back time and time again. Unfortunately, the last time we went for happy hour, we were pretty turned off by the service at the bar. The bartender was cold, inattentive, and bordered on downright unfriendly. We just felt unwelcome and uncomfortable.We’d like to give the place another shot eventually, but if the service is anything like it was last time we won’t be recommending it to friends or returning anymore.

We had a wonderful experience here. Food and service were great. The pistachio whipped feta and fatayer were delicious. We also very much enjoyed the market steak. And of course had to try the orange almond cake, which was wonderful. Looking forward to another dining experience here.

What a gem Lyra is. The best middle eastern food in the city and that’s nowhere near hyperbole. The ambience is warm and inviting, the food and drinks are unique and the server’s are just wonderful.All dishes are meant to be shared so when the food is ready it’s brought out immediately. They have a special fig and feta dip that was otherworldly. So go soon and try it before it’s off the menu. Your life will be changed! Make a reservation too so you can ensure you have a spot to enjoy this wonderful eatery.

Second time coming to this place and is always a pleasure enjoying the absolutely delicious food.Staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu to help you have the best experience. 100% recommend.
This restaurant is one of my absolute favorites. The food is always amazing, the menu changes regularly and it’s a beautiful atmosphere and location. One of the managers, Brett, was very kind and helpful in regards to preparing a very special meal for my Lebanese aunt who is in a nursing home. She was so thrilled and impressed with the quality and the taste. The recipes are very authentic, and they remind me of my childhood, only a bit fancier than what we used to make at home. This is also my favorite spot for a dinner meeting or a night out with friends. Five stars, and two thumbs up for the great staff and chefs at this beautiful place. Thank you for being part of so many good memories

I was lucky enough to be at the collaborative dinner between Lyra and the team from Four Seasons, which was a fusion between Middle Eastern and Italian. Every single dish was absolutely delicious and I could repeat that meal a million times.

Phenomenal Date Night. The octopus was the highlight of the meal, I’ve never had anything like it. Also the babaganoush is my fav appetizer I tried, if you go I say you gotta get those. JC was our server and he was
