Shahai Take Away & Grill
Shahai is the kind of place you stop at when you’re ready for something honest, local and full of flavor. Tucked in Santa Cruz, it’s a take-away style grill with a warm, welcoming feel - think home-cooking meets casual roadside eatery. Their breakfast board out front starts early (7 AM to 11 AM) with good coffee, ham & eggs, croquettes and pastichi, and later they fire up the grill for their famous BBQ platters and beach-friendly take-away meals.
The space isn’t slick - it’s more about real food, good portions and friendly service. If you’re in the area of Santa Cruz or heading toward Baby Beach, this is a solid local stop.
