SHAY

About

Shay offers a vibrant blend of modern Lebanese cuisine, equally perfect for brunch and dinner. With executive chef Joseph Awad at the helm, Shay delivers inventive dishes that reimagine traditional Middle Eastern flavours with contemporary angles. Designed by Ivy Studio, the restaurant’s space is equally captivating, featuring a marble bar, curved wood banquettes, and desert-inspired tones, making it the perfect setting for a lively meal.

The brunch menu is a standout, featuring unique creations like Shawarma Eggs Benedict, Waffle Taouk with crispy fried chicken and pomegranate BBQ sauce, and halloumi breakfast sandwiches with chili jam. For those with a sweet tooth, the indulgent baklava pancakes and labneh tartines with zaatar are must-tries.

For dinner, Shay’s menu balances rich, savory flavours with refined techniques. The Lamb Shawarma is a crowd favourite, served with pomegranate molasses and pine nuts, while the Mushroom Brochette brings earthy flavours paired with avocado tarator and coriander . For those seeking a hearty dish, the 22oz Ribeye is a showstopper, grilled to perfection with Aleppo butter and peppercress.
