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!

Très bon & bonne ambiance. Plusieurs choix de cocktails & mocktails. Portions très petites pour le prix par contre, mais ça va avec le type de restaurant. Plusieurs options végétariennes dont un plat d'aubergines avec impossible meat qui était délicieux.

My fiancée & I came to celebrate our anniversary. The food was absolutely amazing, the service was impeccable & the Margaritas were made to perfection. We will definitely be back, this has become our new favorite restaurant in Montreal! Highly recommend the Fattoush salad & the Margarita tree!

Une expérience exceptionnelle chez Shay, notamment grâce à Thea !
Thea a été une serveuse remarquable : souriante, attentionnée & très professionnelle du début à la fin. Elle a su nous conseiller avec justesse & a grandement contribué à rendre notre repas encore plus agréable. Un service impeccable qui donne envie de revenir. Merci Thea pour ton accueil chaleureux !

Friends suggested this place & it was excellent, from the service to the food. One busser stood out her name was Thea, even from the other busser & the waitress/ waiters. She recommended food & drinks & overall was one of the main reasons why my experience at this restaurant was fantastic.

I came to this place recently to try their dishes & it was so amazing! I had tried their dip Mouhamara & the Lamb Kebab with a friend of mine & it was so delicious. I've been craving them ever since. We also got served by this young beautiful lady called Thea, as I recall. She was so lovely & i hope she will be there the next time I visit!
