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!

Absolutely fabulous experience! The food was INCREDIBLE! The Kafta melted in my mouth & the drinks were top notch 🌮🍹

The service was impeccable as well! The servers were on it with water & drink refills, cleaning up, making sure we were doing okay. Especially Robin! 🤗

I loved coming here for my friends' birthday dinner. Will be coming back again for sure!

Thanks for a delightful evening! ✨

The concierge at our hotel, the Fairmont, Queen Elizabeth, recommended this restaurant. We were not disappointed! We had a wonderful meal with numerous menu options to choose from.
The most enjoyable part of our evening was our server, Anthony, who was a delight! He kept us entertained & spent quite a bit of time with us explaining all the varied dishes on the menu. We so enjoyed our evening & he was one of the reasons why.
Thank you so much to the staff at Shay & especially Anthony. It was a wonderful experience.

I liked SHAY!
Lamb kebab was awesome.
Armenian kebab could be a little bit more juicy but all in all everything was great!
Would be here again!
