The concierge at our hotel, the Fairmont, Queen Elizabeth, recommended this restaurant. We were not disappointed! We had a wonderful meal with numerous menu options to choose from.
The most enjoyable part of our evening was our server, Anthony, who was a delight! He kept us entertained & spent quite a bit of time with us explaining all the varied dishes on the menu. We so enjoyed our evening & he was one of the reasons why.
Thank you so much to the staff at Shay & especially Anthony. It was a wonderful experience.

I liked SHAY!
Lamb kebab was awesome.
Armenian kebab could be a little bit more juicy but all in all everything was great!
Would be here again!View more

Pourquoi le serveur au bar s'entête-a-t-il à nous répondre en anglais quand nous nous adressons à lui en français?View more

Excellent service premièrement, nourriture incroyable, apprêtée avec minutie & professionnalisme. Enfin, un brunch qui se démarque à Montréal ! Les saveurs, les épices, tout était au rendez vous. Nous avons adoré & nous reviendrons. Pour les frileux du stationnement ; venez tôt, il y a de la place sur la rue ou un stationnement public (20$), tout près.View more

Amazing food & service! We had the Fattet Batenjen & Hummus Shawarma to start - both were absolutely delicious. I had the Musakhan as my main dish, & it was full of flavor & beautifully done. Big thanks to Max, our kind & attentive waiter. Highly recommend!View more

Tried this place recently & honestly wasn't too impressed. The food was super plain & didn't have much flavor. The service wasn't great either! it felt like the waiter just wanted us to eat quickly & leave, which made things a bit awkward. Overall, not somewhere I'd be in a rush to go back to.View more
