Review Summary

SHAY earns high praise for its vibrant atmosphere, flavorful modern Lebanese cuisine, and consistently attentive service, with guests noting generous portions and standout items like mezze dips and lamb dishes, shakshuka and baklava pancakes; brunch shines with creative twists such as shawarma eggs Benedict and labneh, while cocktails and a lively DJ vibe add to the welcoming, upbeat experience and make many say they will definitely return.

Food is delicious. Was in a group with celiac & dairy allergies & they accommodated 100% with no compromise to the overall aesthetic, quality & deliciousness of the dishes. Definitely becoming a fave spot.
