Nous avons passé un excellent moment dans ce restaurant. Le lieu est bien décoré & le service très agréable.
Notre serveur était de bon conseils & nous a bien aiguillé pour découvrir de bons plats libanais.
Pour commencer, un mocktail hibiscus/gingembre. Ensuite, nous avons pris deux mezze froids qui étaient vraiment très bons (hummus & un autre avec de l'aubergine) & nous avons partagé l'assiette Kebab. En dessert, nous avons pris le baklava à la pistache. Nous nous sommes régalés !
Les prix sont bons pour la qualité de la nourriture !
Je recommande vivement ce restaurant.

Went to Shay for my friend's bday with a group of 12. We had a great time, staff was polite & efficient, food was amazing. Oliver runs a tight ship. Not my first visit & definitely not my last.

Everything was exceptional, we had several dishes & hard to pick a favourite because each one tasted fabulous & was beautifully plated. However, the fingerling potatoes do not belong on the menu. We were craving fries & since those were no longer on the menu, we reluctantly went with potatoes. Clearly these are recycled from another dish because for a restaurant of this caliber to just slap 5 or 6 potatoes on a plate & charge 20 bucks doesn't make any sense unless you're trying to get rid of leftovers at an outrageous price. Other than that, absolutely fabulous!

The place is nice, the staff is fine & the food delicious but the prices have been going up aggressively with certain items. A year ago the shakshuka plate was $21 then $23 & most recently to $32. Absolutely no idea what explains the jump other than'Quebec wild mushrooms'. You can get a very good red shakshuka for $22 at l'avenue not even 10 mins away. The baba ghanoush is delicious one of the best I've had. Great delicious food just a bit pricey!

I visited SHAY today & had a wonderful experience. I ordered the lamb with eggplant, & it was excellent. The flavors were authentic & well-balanced, & you can tell the ingredients are high quality.
The lamb was tender, & the side of crispy potatoes & pickled red cabbage provided the perfect contrast. If you're looking for great Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine with a modern touch, this is a fantastic spot. The food tastes as good as it looks!
Highly recommend: The lamb with eggplant & the roasted potatoes.
