Shaya in Uptown, New Orleans, is a beacon of authentic Mediterranean cuisine, seamlessly blending traditional Levantine flavors with modern flair. Revered for its "fluffy and light" pita bread, baked fresh in a wood-fired oven, Shaya offers a culinary journey with its vegetable-driven dips and spreads that transport diners to the heart of the Mediterranean. Guests rave about the "out of this world" hummus varieties, like the lamb ragu and fried chicken hummus, each bite bursting with rich, well-seasoned flavors. With an inviting atmosphere and "top-notch" service, Shaya is not just a meal, but "a must" dining experience in New Orleans.

    Every time I go to Shaya I have a great experience. We started with the hummus with warm mushrooms and their hot pita- outstanding! Also had the falafel app. The halloumi was great, the peach and honey sauce around it a surprise and a treat. The ayres lamb sandwich was fantastic, a ground lamb quesadilla with tzatziki and a side of slaw. A wonderful meal all the way around.
