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!

So the best sign that you chose the right restaurant is a crowd waiting outside in the snow before opening... & that's exactly what happened when we booked "Shay" during our last visit to Montreal. This place is so worth all the hype. The food was absolutely delicious, the service impeccable (we felt like we were just hanging with friends) & the cocktail tree was worth every penny. We are hooked & will be making this our staple for future visits. Damien, our server, was a delight with incredible energy that completely added to our positive experience. Check this place out!

Un lieu très classe & élégant avec une carte variée (aussi bien le menu brunch que le soir) & des plats délicieux & copieux! Leurs cocktails sont excellents également & le barman peut même ajouter sa touche personnelle au besoin. J'y suis retournée 2 fois dans la même journée & j'ai été ravie après chaque repas! J'y retournerai très prochainement! Seul bémol: la musique etait très forte lors du brunch & mon amie & moi devions presque crier pour s'entendre.

Un peu long avant de recevoir nos cafés au début (env. 40 minutes), mais il semblerait qu'il y a avait des nouvelles personnes.

The food was so good, especially the lamb shawarma & brussel sprouts. Our waitress, Pamela, was the best waitress I have ever had. She had great timing, great food suggestions, & totally made the experience even better.
