If you’re fortunate enough to have experienced a meal in the Middle East, you know all about their warmth, ambiance and extravagance. Whether it’s on a terrace accompanied by an afternoon tea, or sipping Arak in the evening, the “joie de vivre” can’t be missed.

Having successfully recreated the magic, our chef Joe Awad and his team have put together a menu featuring traditional flavours reimagined with a modern flare.

Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

Mon souper chez Shay a été vraiment agréable. Premièrement, nous avons été bien servis par Raphaël, qui a fait un excellent travail pour qu'on passe une soirée agréable. Notre repas a commencé avec quelques mezzes: hummus, muhammara & falafels. Le hummus & le muhammaras étaient très goûteux & étaient accompagnés de pitas grillés. Les falafels étaient copieux & bien assaisonnés. Pour le plat principal, nous avons commandé le shish taouk, le fattet batenjen & des kebabs arméniens. Tout était excellent. Finalement, les vins & cocktails étaient bons. Bref, un cinq étoiles bien mérité 😉

Expérience absolument parfaite du début à la fin ! Un immense merci à Shawn pour son service exceptionnel - à la fois professionnel, chaleureux & vraiment fun. Il a su créer une ambiance détendue tout en restant très attentionné tout au long du repas.

Côté cuisine, rien à redire : chaque plat était un sans-faute, savoureux & parfaitement exécuté. & les cocktails… wow ! Clairement parmi les meilleurs que j'ai goûtés.

Une soirée réussie sur toute la ligne - je recommande sans hésiter & j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner !

We came in late, & they were kind enough to take us. We expected good & tasty & still left amazed.
Everything down to rice was great!
Go see Gaspard at the bar for a great cocktail.
