The food was so good I might have to go back tomorrow!! The customer service was so amazing 10/10 please go and enjoy some good food with family read more

We walk in and none of the food was made and the guy tells us it would take 10 minutes to make the food and it ended up being 30 minutes. The guy at the counter was disrespectful, most likely on drugs and the food ended up being lowkey disgusting. My friends sort of liked it though. read more

This is a good place to eat on your way to Fenway, or at the end of shopping on Newbury. Similar to Halal Guys but not quite as good. read more

I hadn't been to Shah's Halal in over a year, so I decided to revisit. The price of the rice plates has gone up a bit to $11.99 - not a dealbreaker on its own. However, the meal has also fallen victim to shrinkflation. The takeout box is noticeably smaller and shallower, with a portion size comparable to a bare-bones Chipotle bowl (the kind you get when you order online and feel shortchanged). Even the utensils have shrunk - the plastic spoon looks like it's about two-thirds the size of a standard one. Shah's used to be cheap, fast, and filling. It's now cheap, but not in a good way. read more

Got me some good old comfort food as I was craving the chicken and rice platter and the fish and the crispy chicken wings! Went here and got take out. Luckily nobody was there and so I was glad that we would get our order quickly! We ordered 3 platters - chicken, kofta kebab and lamb over rice with all toppings - which is essentially fresh veggies lettuce tomatoes cucumber onions, plus white sauce and got the green sauce on the side. No red hot sauce this time! Also got the 2 piece fried fish and the 6 piece chicken wings. There is a bit of a wait for the fish and the wings because they have to cook it fresh and that's totally fine by me! We sat on the couch while we waited. The inside decor is fun and bright with the red walls and food art. Service was friendly! They do have a lot of take out/ delivery orders as people came in to pick up orders. So I'm glad they are doing good business. Also got the baklava which was okay. Overall great meal as always very filling and tasty and so affordable! Keeps us coming back for more! read more

Had to order from here after arriving late in Boston and honestly I was skeptical with all the negative reviews here. DONT LET THEM KEEP YOU AWAY FROM THE DELICIOUSNESS. idk the experience of everyone else on here (a lot of them seem to be delivery issues rather than food) but I got my Uber eats order just fine and let me tell you - it was delicious!! Super tender meat, fluffy rice, green sauce slapped a lil white sauce on the side was good (and also in packets!), and the veggies had a good freshness and crunch. I think this place is a chain (I've had it in ATL) and it seems to be consistent in quality. So good! read more

Absolutely delicious! First time having it and wanted something similar to halal guys and so found this and it was SO good we had it for lunch then REORDERED it for dinner hahah. That speaks volume! Service was quick and everything looked clean as well! It was empty when we went but we sat down and ate and saw a bunch of people coming for delivery orders so clearly it has good traffic! Would recommend and eat there again for sure if i come to boston and am near that area. read more

I was pleasantly surprised--the food surpassed my expectations. I really enjoyed the Philly cheese steak sandwich, and my friends liked theirs too: the fried chicken sandwich and lamb gyro. When they say spicy, they mean spicy! It is casual dining, fast-food style. Especially because there are not a lot of halal places in the area, this was a great find for us! read more

The food is actually pretty good, and they give you a good quantity too. Generous with the meat. HOWEVER, we ordered through postmates and got a staple mixed into our food. That is unacceptable. It wasn't on the edge of the food, it was hidden in the food. Also, there are no staples in the food packaging, so I'm not sure how it even got in there. This is an extremely dangerous food safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately. read more

Tried their spicy wings for the first time. Pretty much wing dings size. There was a kick to the wings. Not going to lie, I actually liked it a lot lol dip with their white sauce, it was really good. Since they changed their packaging, they have been way better. Portion wise too. read more

My new go-to halal joint in the Fenway area! I recently ordered takeout from here and was super happy with the experience - not only were the prices reasonable, but the portions were massive. I ordered the combo rice platter with a side of pita and fries. The meat, veggies, and sauces in the platter were delicious. The flavors meshed together very well. The rice tasted a bit different than some other halal places I've been to in the past, but it was still tasty. The pita was nice and fresh and the fries were absolutely perfect. Everything was super filling and satisfying! Highly recommend if you're looking for some easy, tasty takeout. read more

What I Ordered: Chicken over Rice Platter * chicken was on the drier side Kofta Kebab over Rice Platter * chicken was well seasoned, has a meatball texture, and had a very slight spice Falafel over Rice Platter * falafel was dry and hard Combo over Rice Chicken and Lamb * lamb had a meatball texture * overall very delicious and filling 9/10 read more

Although I am regular customer at this restaraunt and I love their food, my latest experience ordering in was awfull. I ordered Lamb over rice with extra falafel (which I payed for) but they forgot to add the falafel. I called in the store to speak to them about it and some indian guy who barely spoke any english picked up my call, used abusive language addressing me with his colleagues ( he didn't know I speak hindi as well) and shamlessly disconnected my call. I expect a call from the manager explaining why their staff would do something like this! read more

I've been ordering from this place for more than two years now and I must say both the quality and quantity of food has drastically plummeted. Their prices have gone up (which I can understand, given the rising cost of produce), but the quantity of food they now serve -- especially in their Buy One Get One offers -- are shockingly bad. I used to love their gyros and platters -- not anymore. Their BOGO chicken platter (for $17) is as much as a normal plate of chicken over rice that sells for $14. They scrimped on the amount of salad in the gyro too, which isn't worth it for $15. For that price, there are better gyros in the city. I'm probably not going to order from Shah's again. The food just doesn't match up to their prices. It was fun while it lasted! read more

Delicious food hidden in plain sight. I think I've eaten here every week this past month lol. It delivers consistently tasty food, has quick service, and is the definition of bang for your buck. Let the food speak for itself and go to Shah's. gogogo. read more

I am not AT ALL happy with this place. And you just keep taking money with NO CONSEQUENCE HORRIBLE! Your buy one get one free ...is a lure to get people to buy. My Pita bread didn't arrive.either that was a disappoint. You've guys screwed up so many orders and I've given so many chance but this is it. My Uber order arrived a bit earlier than expected The plates were warm at best. I ordered your shops bottle of hot sauce for 7.99. Instead ...you guys send me that little dot of hot sauce. Again HORRIBLE! I don't know what it is I don't care what it is I'll NEVER order from here again. You guys are horrible at following instructions. HORRIBLE! read more

Shah’s Halal- Boston - Chicken over salad - Halal Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food: I got the salad platter with chicken & lamb. It was rather bland in flavor, all I could taste is diluted white sauce which should be more creamy, tangy, and garlicky. They did put a good amount of chicken and taste rather tender, but ediable at best. The lamb wasn't as gamey which isn't bad but I didn't nearly had the same amount as I did with the chicken. Service: The service was fine, they made sure I got everything I wanted in my salad. There's muiltiple team-members helping you out in the stations so pay attention to where your food is going as each section moves. Ambiance:It was during a rush after a concert ended so it was a bit chaotic, it's small and def gives off the vibe of when you're out and hungry, this is the place to grab a quick bite. Location accommodation: They have a limited ourdoor seating and there barely side parking as this is near a college so theres quite amount of people traffic passing by. read more

I LOVE Shah's Halal food! I often order their meals on UberEats and it is consistently delicious. The chicken over rice plates are flavorful, well-portioned, and scrumptious. Their plates are very reasonably priced and there is often a BOGO promotion too. If and when you decide to place your order, then make sure you add the green sauce (it's a MUST). I promise you will not regret it! It's hard to find good halal food in Boston, so thank you for your wonderful service to the community. :) read more

Bowls are excellent, flavorful and delicious! I ordered half chicken/falafel. White sauce is so good I recommend asking for extra. Hummus - so smooth and delicious. I will eat here again before we leave to go home read more

best drunk food in boston in my opinion, great portion size for great value and you don't feel gross after eating it.

I am very confused by this place. They only have one veg option which is falafel. Yet they don't have any sauces that are vegan as they don't even have tahini. They have beans to go in your falafel which doesn't make sense to me. Well this may have been the most tasteless thing I've eaten. Not sure how that's possible but apparently everything is bland as hell unless you get a sauce on your pita/meal. It may be a lot of food, which is messy as hell but not worth it if doesn't taste good. read more

The food here is great. Not sure why the low reviews. It's quick and affordable @ $11 a platter. I like that they offer other toppings like grilled veggies, beans, onions and tomato cucumber salad. I grab a plate almost once a week. read more

I totally second the other reviews which like this place more than The Halal Guys or Chicken and Rice Guys. The prices here are awesome too! The portions are quite big for an affordable price. I ordered my food through Seamless. The platters (chicken or lamb) are $9.79 with the option of adding various toppings for free or hummus, black beans, extra rice, extra protein for an extra charge. I got the chicken on rice platter and added hummus for an extra dollar. The container was super heavy and packed with food. I wish they gave me more hummus though. The seasoning on the rice and chicken are perfect and their sauces are great. The green chili chutney is a must try. I didn't find the hot sauce to be too spicy. While other places continue to increase their prices, I'm glad to see that Shah's is a more affordable, tasty option that will fill you up. read more

After a late flight and late check in on a Sunday, I'm tired and I'm hungry. Go to Uber eats and this was the first replace to pop up so I rolled the dice. The chicken and rice plate was excellent. The falafel wrap was ok - maybe didn't travel well. Falafel and pita were soggy. Also felt the falafel was a little too dense. Otherwise good. Would like to try again there. read more

The food here is so good!! Ordering delivery can sometimes be hit or miss, but it's usually a hit! On a few occasions they've given me too little chicken or barely any sauce, but that is not the case all the time. The food is good enough that I'll be a repeat customer always. read more

Update 5/15/2020 When I asked for kabab, he said " those are frozen", can't give it you. I said, but you can cook them; he responded " sorry we don't have kebabs". It's terrible experience, how can someone change statement in seconds, just to save yourself from some work. Their food is good but service is bad read more

The 3 1/2 star rating seems accurate to me. Stopped by late night and got a chicken and rice plate. Food was decent. Customer service was on point. Place could've definitely been cleaner. Good spot for a late night bite. read more

Ok food and fast delivery for 1am but they did not include any utensils! Why would you do that...... The falafel had a flowery taste which is interesting but I prefer the original. read more

Very tasy plus great customer service, quick and easy dining. I live close and just started coming this is my new go to spot.

This place isnt too bad for what it was, but it wasnt that good either. The flavor relies too much on their white and "red" sauces, and very messy when ate it. I put red in quotes because beware, that sauce has MSG and food coloring in it if you look at the bottles they sell. read more

I randomly walked into this shop after googling falafel in my area and realized it was within walking distance. The falafel was freshly fried and had a good flavor. The chicken was good but could've used a little more spice. I think it would've been more bland without the white sauce and chimichurri but those made the dish excellent! read more

I've only gotten delivery but there Burger is really good. Fries are good. I've gotten a few other things but can't remember the names. They were also very good. Delivery was pretty fast, I live in Roxbury. read more

LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS. My order was totally wrong. Diet snapple I got full sugar. i asked for no rice and salad base explicitly and bowl was about 75% rice. I get hives when I eat rice and am not interested in drinking 83% of my daily sugar intake in 10 oz of highly processed fake fruit juice. So now I spent 25+ dollars and have no food or drink to eat. People who order diet soda will not ever want the full sugar option, if your going to replace it atleast make it a diet coke or another diet beverage. To top it all off I lost my student ID yesterday and am a college student so I haven't been able to eat for over 24 hours. Finally I get food and the things i EXPLICITLY asked for are ignored. 0/10 read more

I eat only halal.. and I couldn't find much in Boston area. I door dashed first time from my hotel. And I was in LOVE! The food is delicious, their sauce is so yummy.

We ordered takeout from there Back Bay outlet late in the night at around 11 given it was open and highly rated on Uber eats. The delivery took over an hour as the food wasn't prepared. Ordered falafel on pita with fries and both were just average. Portion size is quite large and the place is quite affordable. Wouldn't vouch for taste or health. read more

My husband and I loooovvveee this place. Definitely go order in person and don't do the delivery through Uber eats or Postmates. It comes out to the same price if you were to just go get it in store and you get more food and mix in options to choose from. read more

Very happy that there's a halal place in this neighborhood finally and what's better is their food is very tasty, neither salty nor greasy. The seating area is clean, the prices are very reasonable, and the staff is friendly. I've been here for lunch two days in a row. I can see myself coming again very soon. read more

I called today for a pick up order and the man who answered was so nice! If your reading I am the one who ordered two mixed combo platters with kofta kabob as the extra added protein, the spicy chicken wings and fries and a coke :) Aman just picked it up! They have THE BEST halal cart style food. It extremely similar to their New York food cart. I believe this is the same owner as the one near my undergrad school in queens. The sauces are GREAT! I love the white sauce and the spicy sauce has a nice kick to it. The lamb gyro and chicken are both flavorful and I just LOVE their rice. Compared to The Halal Guys and Chicken and Rice guys these guys are my favorite!!!! read more
