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!

Recommended by a friend & we went there for dinner. Definitely lives up to its recommendation. The food was flavorful & delicious with amazing mix of ingredients. If you get Audrey as your server take her recommendations cause she is amazing & she knows what pairs well with the food you are trying to order. I would recommend getting the falafel & the amazing hot drink (genie's cup) that we tried. Also be ready to share food its more of a sharing thing but on your table only 😊

Nous avons eu un excellent service de la part de Pamela. Elle était attentive, drôle, aimable & très rapide. Elle nous a bien conseillé & expliqué le menu. C'est sans aucun doute l'un des meilleurs services que nous ayons eu. Merci Pamela pour cette expérience incroyable !

Sabrina our server was THE best & provided the best service. The highlight was the to go container of olives she gave us (so sweet). She elevated our experience at this restaurant, deserves the most. The food was great too, although the service was amazing. Overall, was very worth it.

Really enjoyed dinner at Shay. Service was great, the restaurant has a sophisticated setting & a nice vibe to it. We ordered multiple different items we enjoyed everything & the food was presented beautifully. We topped our dinner off with the baklawa cheesecake & tiramisu. It was a memorable night & I would definitely come back again.
