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!

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!

Pourquoi le serveur au bar s'entête-a-t-il à nous répondre en anglais quand nous nous adressons à lui en français?

Excellent service premièrement, nourriture incroyable, apprêtée avec minutie & professionnalisme. Enfin, un brunch qui se démarque à Montréal ! Les saveurs, les épices, tout était au rendez vous. Nous avons adoré & nous reviendrons. Pour les frileux du stationnement ; venez tôt, il y a de la place sur la rue ou un stationnement public (20$), tout près.
