This place has a lot of personality for a brunch place. They have lots of choices, I havent tried dinner yet but brunch was a hit! I would definitely go back, especially for their nutella french toast. I really enjoyed the fatoush salad & you cant go wrong with their hummus as well. The service was ok they seemed a little busy so i think they were a bit overwhelmed.

Shay is hands down one of the best dining experiences in the city. Every time I walk through the door, I'm greeted by name, which speaks volumes about their incredible hospitality. The service is always impeccable-warm, attentive, & consistent no matter how busy they are.

& the food? Absolutely outstanding. The lamb shawarma is my go-to, & it never disappoints. Perfectly seasoned, tender, & full of flavor, it's easily the best I've ever had. The consistency in both the food & service is truly unbelievable. The entire team at Shay makes every visit special, & that's why I keep coming back. Highly recommend!

We went for a birthday party with a large group for brunch to this restaurant. I have to say it was wonderful! The quality is exceptional & the servings were more than generous. I was pleasantly surprised because although it was middle eastern dishes that I am used to having at home, all the dishes were refined & perfectly made & presented with the utmost care. They used fresh produce & it showed in the taste, the way it looked. It was a touch of Lebanese, Syrian, armenian & North American.
I would recommend this place 100% !
& the service…. Just perfect !
