My wife and I stopped by for lunch at Shayu. They have a great lunch menu with smaller portions and reasonable pricing. Lunch include soup, a small appetizer and an entrée. We will return.

Our dining experience was absolutely phenomenal. My girlfriend and I both have loads of allergies and it’s usually hard to find places to eat so accommodating. But dining here was the most relaxed we’ve ever been about a menu. The drinks were incredible, almost everything was naturally gluten free and the buffet style was amazing food that was constantly being refreshed. We spent just as much as we would any place in Mystic but it was the first time we’ve ever been wowed and thought “yeah that was worth the money”. Safe to say we were blown away.

Simple but tasty menu that had good portions. Service was great. The flatbread pizza is really just a small round thin crust pizza (which was good)
