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.

Le chef fait des plats extraordinaires! Très Goûteux!
L'hôtesse n'est bilingue. Elle ne parle que l'anglais
La serveuse a été très bien mais clear adressé à nous en anglais en premier.
Retard de table malgré que nous étions à l'heure de 15-20 minutes.
On s'est fait bousculé de quitter après une 1h15 assis 3x. 2x par la serveuse & une fois avec le gérant.
On est à un brunch! On est généralement pas pressé...
Je ne retournerai pas s'il n'allonge pas le temps entre les réservations .

This was our second visit, but certainly won't be our last.
The service was excellent- friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, but not overbearing. The fresh & interesting flavours are first class. We especially love the Fattoush salad, the lamb shawarma & the eggplant dish. We have not sampled the desserts as we are too full from the mains. Brought along friends who loved their meal. Can't wait for a return visit.
