Service & food were great. Only disappointments was the Fattouche salad - small, expensive & not great. Also, the chocolate mousse was bitter & liquidy - not pleasing at all. Otherwise we tried many dishes & they were delicious. Service was friendly & attentive.

I love Mediterranean food so my friend & I decided to have dinner here last night & ordered a few things off the menu. The Brussel sprouts dish & tuna tartare were delicious! 10/10 recommend both. However, we also had an octopus salad & falafel bao buns; both underwhelming. The octopus itself was well done but the potatoes were incredibly bland, & the bitterness of the celery did not compliment the octopus at all! As for the falafel buns, there was more bao than falafel & very little sauce. There was extra sauce that came on the side but I don't know what it is about the service there, they kept taking our plates away without asking us if we were done, not a second wasted. So we didn't get to add the extra sauce. Then the waiter came back to ask if we wanted more sauce when we were already a bite away from finishing the baos. Overall, did not like the service & the food was decent but overpriced. I've have delicious Mediterranean food elsewhere for cheaper.

Delicious, fresh food, exceptional service! We ordered the fried chicken, sumac fries, hummus & lamb shawarma, & babajanush. I had a mocktail Boucan's Vacation which tasted like a fancy lemonade. Well done, will come back again!

SO GOOD! Variety is the name of the game at Shay ... The Mixed Grill offers a good cross-section of proteins (chicken breast, lamb chops, kofta kebab, filet) & comes with a side of fingerling potatoes & 2 sauces (garlic & tahini).
