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!

La serveuse qui nous a servi était rayonnante. Je ne me rappelle plus de son nom, mais elle est tatouée & blonde. C'est la deuxième fois qu'elle nous sert & son service est toujours aussi incroyable. Merci !

A lot of of friends told us to go to Shay & I have to say they were right. It didn't disappoint.
The restaurant is beautiful. It's small & cozy but there was a great ambiance & vibe
The staff was so knowledgeable. They guided us though the menu & even offered suggestion. They were friendly & checked up on all throughout the night.
What can I say about the food...it was fresh & delicious. I enjoyed every dish we ordered.
My husband & I had a wonderful evening- celebrating our wedding anniversary- & we can't wait to return with friend
I highly recommend this resto!!!

We ate on your beautiful patio & enjoyed the open air, despite the hot night. The server was excellent & made a couple of very good recommendations. We had 3 appetizers & dessert & it was all fantastic. Thank you for an excellent experience.
