Ayda, Lviv

Ayda is a Middle Eastern restaurant from the team behind Akhali, at 19 Shevchenka St. near the Semytsvit residential complex, a short walk from the city centre. The kitchen makes chebureks and yantyks, pide, lagman, plov cooked in a kazan and meat grilled over an open fire, served with signature cocktails, craft beer and cider. The dining room is decorated with clay tableware, macramé and dried flowers, and the walls show an AI-generated animated film about Askania and Crimea. Families get a play area, a kids' menu and a changing table; celebrations can book a private room for up to 15 guests, and the terrace stays usable even in the rain. Open daily 12:00–22:00, with delivery across Lviv and to Sokilnyky, Briukhovychi and Vynnyky.
