After being disappointed by the Gyro food trucks in DC and NY, I went to Sher Halal in the food…read moredesert of State College. I loved the gyro with lamb, it's the best I've had. My kids loved the chicken strips with rice (the strips are basic but the rice is good for me). Their falafel is excellent. The man making the food is kind and will not let you forget your free drink! What to expect: 1. Walk up and try to make eye contact to show you are ready to order. 2. Order your meal (specify if you want there white sauce and hot sauce, you probably do because they are tasty). 3. Get a drink while you wait. 4. Get your food and pay (make sure to tip). 5. Stuff your face with tasty lamb or falafel at the tables near 3 dots or the benches along the sidewalk on campus (we go to the circular one right in front of Old Main). Bring lots of napkins!

I was given a card my first visit to Shah's when I ordered the chapli chicken platter, a bowl with ground chicken patties with spices, and included a few pakora chips. I didn't know about the promotion, but it fit my plan to try every type of bowl! The bowls are customized at the counter, adding sauteed peppers'n'onions, black beans, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, hummus, chickpeas, etc. I usually keep it simple. They are very generous with their signature white sauce and you might want to ask for less, and the green sauce is tasty too. The pakora chips are very good, I recommend anyone skip the french fries this time to try them instead. I wasn't a fan of the pita, thick and without much flavor. The fish had just the right amount of coating and was very good. I'd skip the chicken kofta, it was too dry. Overall, good.

My other friend got a regular Jimmy John's sub from around the corner (can't complain really, that's our 3am power move), but the wraps here were really good. There's a good selection of meats available, and the toppings were varied too. The employees that work here seem nice too, not sure what the other reviewers are referring to. I'd definitely come again if I'm ever in State College again.

I feel like I found a favorite near us. It's not one of those places where I would travel to, but…read moreif you're relatively close to Urbana, it's worth a stop. It's a small mart that specializes in middle eastern Mediterranean cuisine and ingredients. They place does not have seating inside, but plenty of seating outside. So plan on either take out or picnicking. They make the food right as you order so things are fresh. The part I really liked about this place was that the sauces were not overly salted - to increase shelf life - and the amount of oil/butter was not overly used to try to mask the ingredients. It's more on the "let the ingredients speak for itself" which I really dig. In the end, you don't feel heavy after the meal and you feel like you had a hearty and healthy meal. My favorite was the lamb shawarma. He toasts the outside pita and it gives it a nice crunch. The lamb is fresher than other places and he doesn't over season it to hide the lamb smell. Other places - if you notice - tends to use cumin a lot of mask the lamb smell. Not here though. The falafel sandwich was okay. It was colder than the lamb shawarma. But the falafels were made right there in front of you. I got the sujuk sandwich too (which is a type of sausage). It was a breakfast burrito basically. Our order took 20 mins to make and he makes it right when you order. So be prepared to stay there and peruse around. Some ingredients there were interesting. The one thing that caught my eye was a bottle of pomegranate molasses. He sells it close to 50% what Harris Teeter would charge and he has various brands of pomegranate molasses. I use pomegranate molasses to make grenadine for cocktails. Also has orange blossom and rose water (also both used for cocktails) I like this place and the guy is nice and sweet.
