Originally inspired by the many amazing meals with family and dear friends throughout the Middle East, Shaya has been a trailblazer in modern Levantine cuisine. 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.

    Our experience exceeded our already high expectations! The atmosphere was fun and upbeat, the staff were solid and the food was spectacular! We were also surprised by the portion sizes compared to typical tapas-style restaurants. The cauliflower hummus was delicious and I loved the lamb shank. 10/10 would recommend and will go back!

    It's been 2-3 years since we last visited Shaya and the food was just as excellent as always. Service was good and we truly enjoyed the dinner. They have updated the dining room and we all agreed that it was nice but we preferred the original design. We love this place and will always try to return when we are in NOLA.
