    2. Chicken over Rice
    Sophia L.

    A bang for your buck ! The halal shop is located on SFSU campus and offers quick , affordable , and tasty Indian cuisine. Although it doesn't look like much from the outside (it's just window service) I was pleasantly surprised with my choice of chicken over rice. The chicken had an abundance of flavor and was hot and fresh. I also enjoyed the sauces , they didn't over power the meal. I'll def be back to try the tikka masala over rice.

    We were exploring the Berkeley campus during orientation and came across this Halal Shop food truck. I didn't have any food vouchers because I'm not a student but they were kind enough to offer me a falafel gyro on the house! The falafels were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very well seasoned too. The fresh crunchy vegetables balanced out the falafels perfectly. To top it off, the pita bread was warm and fluffy. Really delicious gyro and generous people!

    My favorite place to eat on campus hands down. This is what I would call fast food Indian food but it's worth every penny! I always get the chicken tikka masala with no salad and extra spicy (the spicy sauce is sriracha). And the food includes a drink with the price ($9.75). If you are looking for a place to eat on campus that has full flavor, amazing food with the right amount of kick then look no further than Halal Shop!

    Came here today and felt soo happy that the Halal Shop is back open after more than a year. This is honestly the best place gyros and plates. The most unique and delicious item on here would be the chicken tikka over rice. Its a one of a kind meal and could not be found at any other shop. The white sauce is also super amazing. I will be visiting again!

    8. Chicken Tikka Masala
    Sandy K.

    I haven't been here since last semester, but I'm so glad I came today!! The worker (working alone around 4:15pm) was super friendly and made my Chicken Tikka perfectly!! They have a rewards system, so if you come here frequently you should definitely sign up! I have 7 points so far and I only need 3 more to get the reward (very excited as I come here quite often, I just forget to enter my rewards). I will be coming here more frequently from now on (: Always great quality food at this shop and I highly recommend it to SFSU students or anyone in the area.

    Lamb gyro. Big portion filled with generous portion of lamb. $8.40 incl tax+drink.
    Moushumi K.

    Simply delicious. In the student center of San Francisco State University. Very generous amount of lamb in a big pita bread that's super soft. Gyro meat? Mmmmm. Very tender with perfect amount of spices. Definitely a repeat if in the area. This is definitely not a grab-n-go dish. The sauce in the gyro is not eat-while-on-the-road type. Your palate will be in 7th heaven while your neat-goddess will not be a happy camper as juices drip all over. Everything under control though! Now, go, have some gyro!

    First time and it's so good. it might seem small but it's filling. I like how each component balance each other out.

    You walk around campus looking for a deal on foods on the go, you could probably bet your next paycheck that everyone is going to tell you to go to ikes. But eating so much bread for so long gets taste bud numbing....unless its Banh Mi :) 7.50 for chicken marsala w/ sirracha over rice and salad.....a You find me abetter deal on campus for what i am getting, then ill say to you...youre not talking about those mini marts full of subpar sandwiches right? Chicken perfectly cooked and moist sirracha wasn't overpowering, pepsi cola was chilled as can be.... For a cold morning.. This was perfect... Maybe not masterchef perfect presentation but perfect enough that you couldn't complain.

    Chicken over rice
    Kristal D.

    "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back it's yours forever." Back when I attended UC Davis, I'd go to Shah's all the time. It was a feel good (and affordable) meal for us college students. Long and behold, I was excited to discover that SF State has a Shah's too! I always order the chicken over rice - sometimes non spicy, sometimes spicy. For about $8 you get seasoned red chicken, rice, lettuce and white yogurt sauce. Simple ingredients, generous portions, and it taste amazing! I like mixing them all up together. You also get a free drink with your order. I love Shah's enough to visit the SF State campus even if I'm not a student. Reunited with Shah's and it feels so gooooood.

    I went there on a Tuesday around 1pm but it was closed. The other stores next to it was closed too.... Are they closed this semester?

    Hello, my apologies we are closed for this week and will be back beginning of the semester which is next Monday.

    When will the business be open once more? I miss your food!

    Hi! They are now open from 9 am to 6 pm from Monday through Friday!

The location on Geary is excellent--it has that perfect neighborhood "bodega" feel but with a polished, modern edge. ### The Vibe & Service The ambiance is casual and welcoming, and the service is consistently solid. It's the kind of place where the staff actually seems happy you're there. On a sunny San Francisco afternoon, their **alfresco seating** is the place to be. There's nothing quite like tearing into a warm pita while catching some rays on the sidewalk. ### The Food The "delicacies" here are the real deal: * **Hummus:** Incredibly smooth and rich. It's clearly the star of the show. * **Babaganoush:** Perfectly smoky and creamy. * **Falafel:** Crispy on the outside, vibrant green and fluffy on the inside--just how it should be. * **Pita:** Hands down some of the best in the city. It arrives warm, pillowy, and fresh. * **Salads:** Don't sleep on the sides. The Israeli salad and cabbage are crisp, fresh, and provide that necessary acidic bite to cut through the rich tahini and hummus. **Verdict:** Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or lingering over a spread of small plates outside, this place delivers. High-quality, authentic flavors with a great community vibe. Definitely a staple in my SF rotation.

It is not a sit-down restaurant and doesn't pretend to be. What it is, is consistently excellent food at prices that still make sense in a city where that's getting rare. We're regulars, and we usually go on Sunday evenings after my girlfriend gets off work. Falafel wrap and chicken shawarma are our usual order -- the falafel has that crisp-shell, tender-middle thing going, and the wraps are generously built. We've branched out plenty and everything we've tried has been good. The other reason we keep showing up is the people. Turna usually takes our order, and she is genuinely lovely -- friendly in a way that isn't a customer-service script. My girlfriend and I always walk out in a better mood than we walked in with, which is worth a lot. Practical notes: halal, lots of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options, open until midnight Fri/Sat, and they cater. Grab some napkins if you're eating the wrap on the move -- it's a big one, and that's a compliment.

Staff is friendly, and most of the time you can stand on their ledges to eat or sit outside. There were 2 small tables that seat 2-3 per table. Pro tip: ask for the tahini and hot sauce on the side and load it into your wrap--it takes it up a notch.

We were quoted a 70 minute wait time on a Sunday night. When our name finally came up we were offered a tiny table inside (outside table sidewalks are where you want to be, more room, good people watching) that could have fit two fine but was going to be a squeeze for 3 adults. We opted to wait for a bigger table/outside spot. Once you get a table then you have to go inside and wait in line to order. The space is small so expect to get bumped from every direction. The person behind the register was obviously stressed out and could not have been less friendly or less helpful. I asked for a glass of cabernet and she just said, we don't have it and stared at me. I asked if she could suggest another option and she did but it was a struggle. All of the workers seemed miserable. No one smiled, everyone seemed overworked and it was so hard to flag someone down if say your steak came out entirely raw, which mine did. It seems like the workers are either not getting the training or the support that they need to allow the overall experience to be good as the food.
