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!

I've been here about 4-5 times now. & every single time I'm mindblown by the flavors, the quality of meals, & the great service. Good Wine list too. Shay has become my city's favorite. The price is reasonable for the quality of the food you eat. Vibe is super cozy too.
Thank you, Oli for always taking care of us.

Shay is great in customer service, food quality , ambiance etc. Price for main dishes are relatively fair however $18 for a salad is too high since you can order an item from the main dish menu for the same price!
Also they charged us $5.60 for a glass of Perrier while a bottle is only 1.85!!!! This is too much! The music is so load in order for you to eat faster & leave ! The tables set ups are not designed for more than 4 ppl ! We were 5 & I was the 5th one who suffered from not having enough space & not fitting in well!
