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!

The shawarma benne was amazing & the perfect portion. Serving staff were very attentive at keeping water filled. I enjoyed the ambiance on the outdoor terrace. All my friends dishes looked excellent as well!

Food wasn't worth the price. Our lamb kebab was so overcooked.

Incroyable expérience au restaurant Shay. Nous y sommes allé avec mon copain à l'occasion d'une célébration & nous en sommes sorti plus qu'émerveillé. Le service était parmi les meilleurs que nous avions reçu ainsi que le souper & les cocktails. Nous avions pris le hummus shawarma, le kebab d'agneau & le riz au safran qui étaient tous absolument succulents & hors pair. C'était également la recommandation de notre serveuse. Les portions étaient parfaites avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour un restaurant de haut niveau. Nous avons très hâte d'y retourner.
