Shaya is an absolute must-visit in New Orleans! The wood-fired pita is life-changing—pillowy, warm, and perfect for dipping into their incredible lamb ragout hummus. We also loved the cauliflower hummus and the halloumi, which were bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors.

The atmosphere on Magazine Street is chic yet welcoming, making it perfect for a date night or a group dinner. Even if you aren’t familiar with Israeli cuisine, the staff does a fantastic job guiding you through the menu. Pro tip: Make a reservation well in advance because this spot is rightfully popular. Easily one of the best dining experiences in NOLA!

Dinner at Shaya sitting at the bar. Overall modern lively space with exceptional food. Started with the Muhumarra with with the fabulous pita was a treat. Next had the spiced beef pie. Which was tasty but much larger than expected. Great refreshing house spritz for my drink and a strawberry sorbet for desert. Great meal and will be back.

We heard many good things about the place so decided to try it. Truth is, it is OK, but not amazing or great. Pita is served freshly baked but is not very fluffy, Ikra – which is supposed to have roe in it – had no taste of roe. Just a dip. Labneh was good. Pickles very weak. Humus was ok (not great) but lamb ragu was too ‘tomatoee’ which did not work. Pideh had a sweet sauce on it that did not work. Chicken was good. Overall / time to relook at the menu, update the tastes and refresh the approach. What was cool and innovative Levantine/Palestinian/Israeli cooking a decade feels stale now. Service was great!

I visited Shaya for the first time today, and I was absolutely blown away. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine hospitality that it immediately set the tone for an incredible experience.

The service was truly outstanding, attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed. A special shoutout to the wonderful bartenders who recommended amazing drink options. We ultimately settled on wine and were so pleased with the recommendations. As we were visiting from California we loved learning about the restaurant, neighborhood and history of the area.They made us feel so well taken care of throughout our entire visit.
Now, the food… simply phenomenal!! Every bite felt like a celebration of flavor. The chicken hummus was unbelievably smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, comforting yet elevated. The lamb kabobs were nothing short of perfection!!!!! Tender, juicy, and bursting with seasoning that showcased true culinary mastery.

Huge praise to Chef Deremy, whose talent and passion clearly shine through every dish. You can feel the care and creativity behind each plate, and it made the entire meal feel special and memorable. I truly felt like he made these dishes especially for us and appreciated that he took the time to explain how they were prepared.

Between the delightful welcome, exceptional service, outstanding drinks, and an unforgettable feast, this experience exceeded every expectation. Shaya has officially earned a spot at the top of my list, and I cannot wait to return.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for incredible food, amazing staff, and an overall five-star dining experience! I’d give this 10 stars if I could! Thank you Shaya for making our trip so spectacular!

One of those the more the merrier spots to share the dishes.

The pita bread is “that good” as are the hummus options. The Muhummara was a sweet surprise and the star surprise for me was the harissa and “Risotto” of the Bakkafrost Salmon.

Oh, the knafeh cheesecake and chocolate Tahiti mousse were great endings. 5⭐️s

Brought some clients here for a dinner and we had a fantastic time. The service was amazing and the food was even better.

We had a little bit of everything! Every hummus was great, as were the plates we ordered. I got the hangar steak, my colleague got the lamb shank, a few of our clients got the kebabs or the shrimp, and everyone said they loved what they ate.

This place was amazing! I would absolutely come back here again if I am ever in New Orleans. All of the servers were so attentive and friendly! The food was delicious and filling! Tried the fried chicken hummus, falafel, hallumi, and salmon with couscous! Would recommend making a reservation ahead of time as it is a very popular place!

The food was so good. We went for happy hour and the half price wine and hummus was a great call. Really enjoyed. The Halumi and fired chicken hummus. Recommend to sit in the back courtyard Because the front room gets loud.

The food was delicious and the prices were fair. We enjoyed the dips and hummus, which were great choices for vegetarians. Plus, they have fresh pita breads that keep refilling, which is a plus!
