My experience at this restaurant was a bit overwhelming. At the beginning, both the waiter & the manager informed us that we could not order one dish to share & were required to order two separate plates, each costing around $80. I completely understand that every restaurant has its own policy, but I believe this should be clearly stated on the menu to avoid confusion.

Throughout the meal, the waiter interrupted our conversation many times, which made it difficult for us to talk comfortably.

I do appreciate the effort & kindness of the staff, but overall the portions were quite small & I did not feel that the experience was worth the price paid.

We had such a lovely night at Shay Restaurant! We were a group of 6 girls, & honestly, everything about the experience was just perfect.

The service was truly outstanding-so friendly, patient, & attentive from start to finish. We stayed for quite a long time, & not once did we feel rushed. They kept checking on us & made sure we were comfortable the entire evening, which we really appreciated.

The atmosphere was beautiful, the energy was great, & everything felt very welcoming. It's rare to find a place that maintains such high-quality service consistently throughout the night.

One of the best experiences we've had as a group. Can't wait to come back again! 💫

I had such an amazing experience at Shay Restaurant! We were a group of 6 girls, & from the moment we walked in until the very last minute we left, the service was absolutely exceptional.

The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. Even though we stayed for quite a while, they never rushed us & continued to take care of us with the same positive energy the entire time. That level of hospitality really stood out.

Everything was perfect-from the atmosphere to the food & overall vibe. You can really tell they care about their customers & the experience they provide.

Definitely one of the best service experiences I've had. Highly recommend this place, especially if you're going with a group. We'll for sure be coming back! ✨

Amazing service & incredible food. I had accidentally booked our reservation for the wrong day, but when we showed up a day early with a party of five at 10pm, they accommodated us right away without any issues.

It's clear this restaurant is very well run-everyone was welcoming, attentive, & consistently checked in without being overbearing.

The food was outstanding. We ordered a variety of dishes, & the highlights were the baklava pancakes, the mezze dips, & anything featuring their lamb-absolutely delicious.

A special shoutout to our server, Leyla, who was fantastic & made the experience even better.

Also the playlist at the restaurant was a vibe.

Overall, a great experience at Shay-we'll definitely be back!

Had brunch here today. The shawarma Benedict was good but the omelette was on the sweeter side for some reason. Overall, the food is decent but too expensive for the quantity provided. The Benedict could do with a salad or potatoes on the side & so could the omelette really.
