Top tags:

Shaya restaurant marries Israeli staples with Southern flavors and modern techniques, striking a balance between innovation and tradition. Shaya approaches Israeli cuisine as a grand mosaic, drawing influence and inspiration from North Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Turkey and Greece. The contemporary menu reflects the ongoing evolution of Israeli food and celebrates the abundance of Louisiana. Shaya highlights seasonal, responsibly- and locally-sourced ingredients.

The wood-fire oven is central to both the menu and the dining experience, from the incredible homemade, wood-fired pita to vegetable-centric small plates and heartier entrees. Many of the dishes on the diverse menu are meant to be shared and enjoyed throughout many courses.

This was our first visit to Shaya and we had our 5 year old with us. They were incredibly kind and patient with her which meant so much to us. Our food and drinks were absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to get back!

Love Shaya restaurant, all aspects. Can't wait to go back. Open Table reservation system leave much to be desired. There always seems to have more reservation availabilities than Open Table indicates. Calling the restaurant directly, if able, allows for more dining opportunities. Open Table also drives the patron to other restaurants, if the desired time is not available. I pick an establishment for a reason not for a seating time. Open Table, quit suggesting a different location and give me more options where I choose to eat.

The food and service were outstanding. We have been to Shaya many times. During this visit, we were a table of 6. We arrived for our reservation and were walked past two 6 tops to a table directly across from the men’s bathroom. This really was not a place I would seat anyone much less repeat guests. Though the food and service were amazing, this really put a damper on the night as the restroom door was almost constantly open. This is not a place where you want to be eating. On a side note, one of the 6 tops the hostess walked us past sat empty for about an hour and then 3 people were seated there. We will be back but I will be SURE to request not to be seated outside of the restroom.
