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!

Came here for a Valentine's Day dinner, & had the best experience from food to service. Our server Shawn came through with the best vibe & recommendations, like the Brussels sprouts & lamb chops, making our experience here extra pleasant! Definitely recommend, & would come here again ☺?

Un immense merci à Paula Timog du restaurant Shay ✨
Un service tout simplement incroyable : attentionnée, drôle, authentique & franchement mémorable. Elle a su créer une ambiance tellement agréable qu'on se sent accueilli comme si on faisait partie des habitués… dès la première visite.
Professionnelle sans être rigide, chaleureuse sans être envahissante - un équilibre parfait. Elle a clairement contribué à faire de notre dîner une expérience exceptionnelle.
Des gens comme Paula, ça fait toute la différence. Bravo & merci encore 👏🍽?
