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!

Had my surprise bridal party at Shay for brunch this morning, what a wonderful afternoon. I have celiac disease & the manager Damien made sure I had special catered dishes that were safe & delicious! All my guests were astonished by the food, service & ambiance. Would 100% recommend & will definitely be going again!
