Review Summary

SHAY earns high praise for its vibrant atmosphere, flavorful modern Lebanese cuisine, and consistently attentive service, with guests noting generous portions and standout items like mezze dips and lamb dishes, shakshuka and baklava pancakes; brunch shines with creative twists such as shawarma eggs Benedict and labneh, while cocktails and a lively DJ vibe add to the welcoming, upbeat experience and make many say they will definitely return.

Despite the spin on Lebanese food, the taste is authentic. Great presentation & lovely cocktails. A bit too much pricey.

We ate at Shay for the first time today. It was amazing. 10/10. Service was outstanding, the cocktails were delicious & original, the food just blew us away. We were super full when we left, & even brought home some leftovers (which we can't wait to eat tomorrow). We can't wait to go back! Great vibe & amazing food & service. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely delicious food & professional & attentive service staff. Very creative cocktail list & aesthetically pleasing presentation. A calm environment with excellent lighting & music quiet enough to easily hear one another & while still providing a nice ambiance. Lots of space between tables, which made us comfortable in light of the pandemic. Highly recommended!

I went for brunch & it was delicious. I had a nice cocktail to start & the shakshuka as my meal. It was full of flavour & paired with nice warm naan bread. Service was very good & the staff were friendly & welcoming. I can't wait to go again & try one of the other delicious options on the brunch menu.

The terrace is lovely. We all agreed that the food (Lebanese), atmosphere & service were great. Going back tonight! Great cocktails too.
