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!

Nous avons passé un excellent moment dans ce restaurant. Le lieu est bien décoré & le service très agréable.

Notre serveur était de bon conseils & nous a bien aiguillé pour découvrir de bons plats libanais.

Pour commencer, un mocktail hibiscus/gingembre. Ensuite, nous avons pris deux mezze froids qui étaient vraiment très bons (hummus & un autre avec de l'aubergine) & nous avons partagé l'assiette Kebab. En dessert, nous avons pris le baklava à la pistache. Nous nous sommes régalés !

Les prix sont bons pour la qualité de la nourriture !

Je recommande vivement ce restaurant.

Went to Shay for my friend's bday with a group of 12. We had a great time, staff was polite & efficient, food was amazing. Oliver runs a tight ship. Not my first visit & definitely not my last.
