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.

We had a reservation for 8 people for the brunch. The food was ok but I didn't really like my choice ( La Merguez). The cocktails menu is simple & pretty basic but tasty.
The problem is that although we had the table for 2 hours, 30 minutes before they were already telling that there was another group coming & the waiters were constantly around our table after that so we didn't really appreciate that constant pressure.

Merci pour la belle soirée. La nourriture était excellente & j'ai pu me délectée sans crainte car Jo, le cuisinier s'est très bien occupé de mes intolérances.

J'ai fait découvrir la cuisine libanaise è ma famille.

Merci encore

My friend & I enjoyed an evening of exquisite tastes at Shay yesterday. We ordered four dishes for sharing, each with its unique mouth-watering flavour which we devoured with much pleasure. I can't wait to return to try other dishes on the menu, some of which we marvelled at as they were brought to other tables nearby. I might even suggest a return as a party of four or more so that even more dishes can be enjoyed. Five stars indeed!
