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!

The place looks nice. Portions, however, are small & the quality is not that impressive. In total, it's a very overpriced place. I don't think I will be coming back. Lots of other nicer options out there.

I'm a huge fan of the food at Shay, so I decided to try their new brunch menu & as expected, it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious (especially the avocado toast). The ambiance, staff?everything there is always 5 star.

Nourriture bonne & service adéquat. Principal problème pour moi: ventilation non adéquate & odeur cuisson dans le restaurant (fumée) & vêtements impregnés de cette odeur. Pour moi, à corriger!
