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!

The dinner at Shay was amazing. First of all the waitress Pamela was very helpful & attentive. Brought the different courses at a perfect time frame. The Manager at the reception was so friendly & all the staff really made us feel special. We had only vegetarian plates which weee all delicious. Particularly outstanding were the roasted beets, Fattel Batinjein(eggplant) , sumac fries & the dulce de leche dessert was fabulous.
The atmosphere is conducive to a very enjoyable dinner.
Thanks for a great meal. Will definitely be back.

Je suis allé pour l'anniversaire de ma soeur car le restaurant a des bonnes critiques mais je suis sortie extrêmement déçue ! On était 4 personnes & on a commander 6 assiettes. Les repas étaient froids !!! Les crêpes baklava sont supposées les meilleurs & elles étaient sec & froides aussi. On a fait la remarque & on nous a pas prit au sérieux & ils s'en foutaient. La seule bonne chose est que le serveur était aimable. Je trouve ça poche aller au restaurant pour manger de la nourriture froide ...
