The biggest disappointment is that the original name remains, while the restaurant itself has completely changed. It's now a Portuguese restaurant with little connection to the authentic neighborhood experience we once knew, which feels misleading.
That said, the food is good quality & reasonably priced, & the young staff are very kind, friendly, & welcoming.

Just as cosy as the old Shaika's. It has a bigger menu. Different but amazing sandwiches on Portuguese extremely fresh buns, a little crispy on the outside.
The marinated pork sandwich was so delicious. We also had The Sherbrooke, ham, goat cheese & avocado, so good. We shared a grilled veggie plate & it was very tasty. We will definitely be going back to try their desserts they looked so fresh, especially the Natas😋
I'm so happy it has reopened.

We went this morning with our dog to grab some brunch & sit on the terrace. The food was all amazing; we loved the Portuguese bread & the americano coffee! Its very good quality for very reasonable prices, & still has a lot of the same charm it used to!

Absolutely dynamite mix of Portuguese & Greek sandwiches/salads, plus coffee & breakfast items. Plus cocktails. & it's all...affordable?! The staff is super friendly, & we got a chance to chat with the owner, who went over the top in making sure we were taken care of. & had a great sense of humor. All around great experience!
