Amazing food & service! We had the Fattet Batenjen & Hummus Shawarma to start - both were absolutely delicious. I had the Musakhan as my main dish, & it was full of flavor & beautifully done. Big thanks to Max, our kind & attentive waiter. Highly recommend!

Tried this place recently & honestly wasn't too impressed. The food was super plain & didn't have much flavor. The service wasn't great either! it felt like the waiter just wanted us to eat quickly & leave, which made things a bit awkward. Overall, not somewhere I'd be in a rush to go back to.

We had the privilege of being welcomed by the amazing team at Shay & none other than the infamous Olivier. Everything from the food, the ambiance & the music was well curated & reflected the passion & pride they take in making our experience at Shay unforgettable. One taste of the mouhamara & you'll be convinced! Thank you guys for such a great evening & the warm welcome!
