We came for brunch on a Saturday. I had the fatteh. It was too dry. Not enough yogurt sauce. & the impossible Kafta, barely there. I asked for some more yogurt, they got me a tablespoon of yogurt in a little bowl. I didn't finish my plate. Too dry. Not what fatteh should be. My friends had the waffles & fried chicken. Chicken was good. Waffles were dry. Service though was excellent. The food, disappointing :(

Cool concept but really unfortunately not worth it for the price. The restaurant had really weird & sterile vibes, but at least sitting at the bar was nice. The drinks were not good, & some were served in glasses that did not fit the drinks at all. The service was not very professional & food was alright, but service would take it away before you're done eating.

Amazing vibe & service! & the food!!! Wowww. Especially the chef's menu experience at 85$/ person… We had to ask for take-outs, which they graciously provided. Their servers are second to none in the city, but special shout out to Anna! What a wonderful evening. Can't recommend enough.

I just have to give a shoutout to Gaspar at Shay. We were walking around late, unsure since other places were closed, & I was hesitant to go in because they were about to shut down. But Gaspar was amazing so warm & welcoming. He made us feel right at home. We had the chicken shish tawook, shrimp, a fattoush salad, & hummus everything was incredible. The food was fantastic, but Gaspar really made the night special. Thank you so much!
