About the Menu

The New Shahai Take Away N.V. offers a simple, no-fuss menu that reflects the laid-back, everyday charm of local Aruban dining. This casual spot is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy comforting, familiar flavors without the formality of a sit-down restaurant. Whether grabbing a quick lunch or an easy dinner, the menu caters to moments when you want straightforward, hearty food that connects to local traditions.

Menu highlights include savory dishes like galinja stoba (chicken stew), beef with peanut sauce, and their signature “sacos” – a flavorful combination of chicken, potatoes, fried plantains, and Johnny cake served in a paper bag. On weekends, the BBQ offerings add a special touch, perfect for relaxed gatherings or a satisfying meal after a day out. You can also find simpler options like burgers or snacks paired with a cold beer, making it a convenient stop any time you’re out and about.

The menu fits naturally with the easygoing atmosphere of the place. Whether you choose to sit and enjoy your meal briefly or take it to go, the food feels welcoming and familiar.
