About

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!

Food was excellent..buss boys also terrific. Our waitress not so much. Her service was slow & inattentive. She errored on our bills.undercharfed some guests & overcharged others. We were a group of 10. Service needs improvement given the amount of money we spent

Amazing experience! The atmosphere (look, feel & music) at Shay is warm & welcoming. The food is to die for. The variety & the flavors are exceptional! Ethan, our culinary guide, was outstanding. All in all, it was an EPIC discovery & we will be going back.

Our server was amazing ! Ambiance is very nice. Food is good! Lamb chops were smaller than other restaurants of similar quality & slightly over cooked. Starters were. Dry good. Fatouche salad is good but not amazing

Dinner at Shay was amazing! We sat on the roof terrasse & it was a warm, beautiful night. The food was delicious, especially the eggplant appetizer & the black cod main. Will definitely go back this summer!
