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 servers were attentive, engaging and very cheerful. Our water glasses never emptied and we were checked on to see if we needed more wine or pita bread. The food…oooh wow!! My mother thought she didn’t like hummus. She now really enjoys hummus. Well done Shaya! Well done!! We will be back!!

I love Shaya so much! My only issue is that it's really loud and can be difficult for conversation with more than two people. But I'm not sure how you can mitigate that...
