Drawing inspiration from the diverse cuisines & cultures of the Middle East, Meditteranean, and across North Africa, Shaya has set the benchmark for contemporary Mediterranean cuisine by honoring the age-old culinary traditions of the people who invented hospitality as we know it. Our fluffy hand-crafted pita bread baked to order in our wood-fired oven with delectable vegetable-driven dips, salads, and spreads will transport you to an exotic place. Today we hope that our food and hospitality will help you create delicious memories with your friends and family using the very best of our local and sustainably harvested ingredients, prepared and served by people who truly care.

The food is good, but no surprises on the menu-not a single dish that stood out as unique. The service was lukewarm and slow. Maybe it was the season? Not sure we will return after this most recent experience.

Everything about this meal was incredible. There were 6 of us and we never even made it to the Large Dishes. We all shared most of the Salatim, then ordered several of the Hummus Dishes and finally ordered a few of the Small Plates. Our waitress was perfectly attentive, our drinks were always filled and the Pita was freshly made and the plate was filled to our hearts content. Would DEFINITELY recommend Shaya.

I made reservations to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Overall experience was good. The food was amazing. Our reservations was for 8pm. We arrived early and gad a cocktail at the bar while we waited for our table. It was very loud inside and cold. When I made our reservations I made sure to mention that we would be celebrating my wife’s birthday. No one at all acknowledged her birthday. I’ve been to many restaurants for special occasions and was always acknowledged for that occasion. I was dissatisfied to say the least. If not for the food being do good, I would not recommend Shaya. Our dinner bill was $176. I expect a little more for that price. Shaya needs to up their game.
