   Amazing food and service! Atmosphere great for a special occasion or date but also casual enough for everyday dining. Good sized portions too. Highly recommend trying one of their hummus.

   Wow, I never expected my favourite meal in NOLA to be Israeli… it was absolutely incredible. Every flavour was carefully paired and combined so that each bite was perfect. Plus the pita… so steamy and fresh. Definitely take a visit to Shaya!

    The waiter was preoccupied with a table of 2 and our party of 6 experienced waits and had to make request multiple times . Our food came out of order with some of the apps ordered for entrees coming well before the rest of the meal, a sign of poor communication with the kitchen.

    ShayaResponded 2 days agoWe apologize for your unacceptable wait time for food, and to be greeted by your sever. Moving forward we will communicate better on our seating arrangements and to make sure our server has enough time to attend to multiple guests, and if anything to ask for help if needed. Typically our dishes come out as ready. However, receiving entrees before appetizers is something we will address immediately. We hope to see you all again and look forward to ya'll giving us another try! All the best.

    We are visiting from the UK and saw the restaurant featured on Somebody Feed Phil and I booked immediately to celebrate my 50th birthday while in town. Our server was lovely and sweet and recommended dishes to us. Food came out perfectly, timely and hot and oh so tasty. Shame the pitta wasn't like it was on the show. It was very heavy and and barely warm. The service from then went downhill. The restaurant had pretty much cleared out but the servers really were not attentive from that stage. That said, I'd go back but PLEASE fix the service issues and the hot pitta.

    My sister and I were visiting New Orleans from Michigan. I really wanted to try Shaya after watching an episode of the show “Somebody Feed Phil”. Our meal was so fresh and so good. The bread was fantastic and each dish impressed us. Highlights were the Ikra, the Heirloom Tomatoes, and the Summer Pea Hummus. Our server was outstanding and we felt comfortable and welcome. Our dinner at Shaya was truly a highlight of our trip!

    The whole family got together to celebrate Father’s Day. Our table was ready when we walked in. Our server was great also She was very patient. We had the grandkids with us. No one had any complaints about the food. The food was very good. Between the appetizers and the entrees, it was all good.

    Service was great and food was tasty. It’s pretty loud inside and Israeli salad was not diced well with few vegetables other than cucumbers that are usually peeled and seeded due to their bitter peel. Persian cucumbers or hothouse variety are better in this dish. Pita bread was fantastic and my spouse loved his hangar steak. It’s a little weird to still have the Beard award up and Shaya still named after it’s founding chef who is no longer there.

    We were delighted to snag a last minute dinner reservation at Shaya after an unfortunate issue arose with our original dining plans. The service was superb from the time we walked into the door until the time we left. Having arrived a wee bit early for our reservation, our table was not yet ready but we were invited to head to the bar to order water and drinks and sit in comfort while we waited for our seats. After being seated, our server shared with us the best way to experience Shaya’s food and we took her advice as we ordered our meal. Everything from the pickles & pita to start all the way to the dessert was beautifully plated and delicious. As a novice wine drinker, I was intrigued to have the opportunity to try my first Moroccan wine and walked away from my meal knowing there is indeed a red wine I enjoy. Shaya was an excellent choice for our last dinner in NOLA—we are thankful a hiccup on our other plans brought us to this fabulous place.

    Wonderful service all around and DELIGHTFUL food and drink! We arrived early and went to the bar and ordered 2 cocktails and nice to hear from the bartender that all of them that tend bar get to create a cocktail and it’s all featured on their menu. Had the old fashioned and the 4 KARAT! Loved both!! ENTIRE meal was fabulous! Our first time so our sweet and very attentive server, CiCi explained how the hummus was and we ordered her recommendation of fried chicken and the spices/herb mixture. I used to live in NOLA around Katrina timeframe and Mona’s was the only place to make the creamiest hummus…SHAYA is NOW the BEST HUMMUS. CiCi explained to use how much work the Chef’s team goes to blend/cream it making it, but also right before serving they blend it up. So light and creamy and NOW MY FAVORITE HUMMUS of ALL time! And the fried chicken were small enough to cut in half or place right in your mouth and yes they were crispy, flakey and perfectly cooked chicken! Had the hanger steak and the slow cooked lamb. Don’t hold back on either, especially the lamb since lamb is usually high priced anyway, but I have never had such tender and SO MUCH Lamb Meat on the leg bone (had leftovers the next day on my salad). Lamb plate had a super creamy sauce to go perfectly with it and of course the herb blend of parsley and others. MUST COME and EAT if you want a change from Cajun/creole…BEST MEDITERRANEAN food in NOLA! Had the peach dessert and it was a perfect size dessert since we were pretty full, but EVERY BITE was TASTY. Thank you SHAYA Team for making our dinner very special and memorable! You are added to our MUST eat at each time we visit NOLA now!!

    Delicious fresh hot pita bread kept coming to savor with the snap pea topped silky hummus! The pitcher of exotic Tahitian mint tea was just perfect for the steamy New Orleans afternoon weather. Fish sandwich in a pita was too much pita.

    We had an amazing dinner here while traveling on business. We found healthy alternatives to meet our vegan/low carb lifestyle. By far the best meal we have had in New Orleans thus far. The staff was charming and helpful… and love that the pita is baked right there! Simply fantastic :)
