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!

Simply an amazing experience. The staff was full smiles & welcoming when we came in the door. Our waitress, Esmeralda, was all smiles, attentive & sincere in making our experience a great one. Bus boys were also amazing.

Food was very flavourful & the labneh baklava pancakes were so good, I don't have the right word to give them justice. A must try!

& warm goodbye by all when leaving. It doesn't get better than this!

The lamb in the Shawarma Benedict was a bit too meaty, & the avocado croissant was sour, which was unexpected but still light & nice. worth trying when visiting Montreal

Went to Shay for the first time to share with some friends, & Maxime truly maximized our experience! From his outstanding service to his nice smile, he made sure we had the best time. He was funny, kind, & patient - the perfect mix to make the evening feel effortless. His care added so much to an already amazing culinary experience. & the food? Absolutely delicious!

Thanks to Maxime, we got the maximum out of our night at Shay. Definitely coming back & bringing family & friends to enjoy it too!
