J'ai essayé le restaurant shay pour la première fois hier on était assis sur la terrasse moi & mon amie. Nous avons pris le basturma & le Mouhamara en entrée & les shish barak & champignons comme repas principal tout était incroyable & délicieux mais le cloue du spectacle était vraiment notre serveuse Rachel douce a l'écoute & attentionné si vous avez la chance demander pour elle car c'est une vrai perle vous n'allez pas le regretter.

Great service, nice staff, the presentation was on point. We went there for supper. What we had & we absolutely loved were Fried Brussel sprouts, Hummus & mushrooms & Sumec fries. The best cocktail was the Habibi. The valet parking was very convenient. For vegetarians, the Fattet Batinjein (eggplant, impossible kafta) is a must try. It was sooooo good! I'm still dreaming about it. Highly recommend!
