In the late 1800’s, Royal Street was home to a famous “curio” shop, a place where curiosities from all over the world could be had for a dollar or two. Today, the shop is no more, but the feeling of excitement and wonder still exists on Royal Street today. And so in the heart of the most premier art district in New Orleans, we’re bringing back the curiosity – reintroducing New Orleans to a circus of flavor so vibrant it makes other restaurants nearby pale in comparison.

This was our second visit to Shaya...and just like our first visit, we loved our meal. We enjoyed three of the dips: Babaganoush, Ikra, and another that had anchovies. They were all amazing! Of course, the fresh, warm pitas would make anything taste yummy! Next we had the hummus with fried chicken. It was good, but wish we had gotten the hummus with lamb ragu which we had last time and it was truly outstanding. We enjoyed a salad, that could have been cut up a bit more. It was sort of messy to get onto your plate and eat. It was good, but nothing special. Finally we enjoyed the hanger steak and potatoes. Delicious! Tender. Juicy. Just really good. They have great wine selections and the service was appropriately attentive without being annoying. We will definitely return if we come back to NOLA.

Everything we had was exceptionally flavorful and our waitress was so friendly & helpful with the timing of our courses. The whipped feta and salmon crudo are both sizable appetizers. The smoky aioli and chimichurri added great flavor to the crispy octopus. The ambiance is so quaint and perfect for date night!
