I was my first experience at SHAY. Very trendy looking restaurant with a very convenient layout. The service was prompt & respectful & the food was really tasty & a few funky twists on traditionnal lebanese dishes was fun to experiment. The only aspect that I would have expected are plates of different combinations items to share (as per the lebanese tradition!). In order to try & replicate this, we ordered a few appetizers before the main meal & since the portions were very generous, it was a real challenge to finish the main course. I would go back!

I went for brunch & it was delicious. I had a nice cocktail to start & the shakshuka as my meal. It was full of flavour & paired with nice warm naan bread. Service was very good & the staff were friendly & welcoming. I can't wait to go again & try one of the other delicious options on the brunch menu.

Food is good! Portions small for the price you pay. Chicken shish Taouk for 32$ it's not even a full brochette Over price. Nice hang out place! Servers unknowing they keep showing up at your table to pick up empty & unempty dishes. Beer no choice. !
