J'aime beaucoup ce resto libanais. Lors de mon dernier passage j'ai trouvé que les portions des trempettes à partager (humus, babaganoush ..) étaient petites. Quelques options de vins à moins de 60$ seraient appréciées.

I heard so many good things about Shay & it really lived up to the hype. Our serve Dom was great - super super friendly & helpful when we couldn't decide what to eat because everything sounded amazing. We popped in on a Saturday for a much needed hangover brunch & we lucky enough to be sat immediately without a reservation. It was pretty busy though. This was the perfect mix of savory carbs & sweet treats. We had the sausage hash & lamb eggs Benedict first & then moved to the baklava pancakes to finish. Definitely recommend sharing these because they are super decadent.
