Went to the Sandlake location for lunch. Ordered a cheesesteak and a combo plate. Combo plate was served right away so sat and waited for the cheesesteak, and waited and waited. I heard the guy taking the order tell the line cook to make the cheesesteak but I guess he just decided he was too busy even though we were the only patrons. After about 10 minutes I stood up and looked at the guy and he said to the line cook, where's the cheesesteak. He said Im making it, nothing on the grill and he's fooling around, washing dishes. My companion is almost finished with the combo plate when I finally get my sandwich. Won't be back to this location. The one on Orange does a great job. This one needs to take lessons on customer service. read more

Shah’s Halal Food - Middle Eastern Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Shah's is hands down one of my favorite spots in Central Florida for some tasty halal food! This location is right on Sand Lake Rd, right next to the Florida Mall. It has a nice spacious parking lot for easy access to the restaurant. Upon entering you place your order at the counter, then they have you choose additional toppings as they build your order right in front of you. The menu consists of pita wraps, and rice platters...with protein choices including lamb, chicken and falafel. For toppings they have a wide range of fresh items such as salad, cucumber, onions, hummus, and chickpeas. Now my go to order is always the combo rice platter with lamb and chicken. Let me tell ya'll... when I say that they pack on the food... they truly give you a generous portion. Oh and let's not forget about the white and red sauce which truly elevates the food and adds so much flavor! But I have to say... what keeps me coming back is the consistent amazing service I receive each and every time. There is a younger guy that works the counter who is always positive and tries to have a genuine conversation with each of his customers... which truly makes a difference. Definitely check out Shah's the next time you're around the area! read more

This was my first time visiting. Staff acknowledged us when we first walked in. I got a menu and after a brief look decided to try the lamb platter. The platter came with rice and choice of toppings. I added light peppers and onions, lettuce, and cucumbers. I then added the white and green chili sauce. The food was good but the sauce was actually too much. It didn't look like a bad idea at the time. My son had ordered the same thing. He's been there before so I decided to get the same amount of sauce he did. However, it was just too much for me. We did try a sample of the chicken. It was delicious. It's red in color and by appearance may look spicy. It does have good flavor but it's all spice not heat. read more

My Order: Chicken Over Rice platter and a Diet Coke The Food: The chicken was juicy and full of flavor like it soaked up every bit of seasoning. The rice was fluffy and tasty and the salad with chickpeas gave a refreshing bite that balanced the meal perfectly. The white sauce brought everything together in the best way. The Atmosphere: Nice clean and friendly with quick service and a welcoming vibe that made the stop even better. The Experience: Overall good from start to finish and definitely a spot I would visit again. Overall Score: 8/10 read more

Shah's Halal Food is a great spot for a quick meal. The service is really quick and my questions were answered promptly. I ordered the chicken & Lamb combo platter. One thing I did wish to add to my order was more green and red hot sauce because I had feared how spicy they could be, however, when I tried the platter, I would have love to add more next time. read more

The food smells so delicious. I smelled it from across the plaza and knew I had to come here. Came at 10:30pm on a Tuesday and more people were coming after 11pm. They're open till 2 or 3am! The staff were happy and super friendly when we went. We were recommended the fish, but wanted to try everything so we got 2 combo platters. Got one lamb and falafel platter and one chicken and fish platter. The rice was perfectly cooked - al dente, seasoned well, had tons of cumin seeds, and flavorful but not too salty. The meat is tender, soft, flavorful, leaning towards the saltier side, but balanced really well in combination with rice and lettuce. The fish is battered and fried. Super surprised how good it was. So flavorful, soft juicy bites with a crispy thin fried layer. Highly recommend! But would probably only get the fish if I eat it fresh there, not to-go. Each falafel is a pretty large, dense ball but it was cooked all the way through. The outside is crispy, almost crunchy, with a bit of a kick as well. The green sauce was so refreshing with a tiny kick of spicy. Their white sauce is not too heavy. I like their bbq sauce a lot cause it's more refreshing, lighter, and reminds me of an Indian tamarind chutney. Both the falafel and green sauce spicy levels are very mild and they don't linger, which is perfect for me because it feels complimentary to the food rather than overpowering with spicy. I do wish the falafel was a little less dense, but overall still good. Will definitely be coming back regularly. read more

We were immediately welcomed as we walked in. It didn't take long before recommendations were coming our way. Staff was super patient and even let us taste chicken to make sure it was not too dry for me. Build your own bowl was a success. Very generous portions. Was able to have enough for second meal. Will be returning! read more

(2/18/2025) ordered online for pickup at the Sand Lake location. Food was packaged and ready and I was a little early to pickup. The parking lot at this plaza at the SW corner of Sand Lake and OBT always sucks. I got in, got a rock star park v space and got out as fast as possible. Since Shah's is not on the Chipotle or Chick Fil-A side of the plaza, traffic is slightly less aggressive and competitive. From my brief chance, the place was clean and tidy, I did not see any immediate seating, just a long takeout counter for ordering, but k also wasn't looking. The food was piping hot when I got to it a few minutes later. All the sauce options seemed accurate (extra white, 3 stripes hit, 3 stripes green and 1 stripe BBQ) on my combo plate. The mix was tasty, the rice was pretty firm, as is the style at most of these halal fast food joints. I personally would like more fresh vegetables, like lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. The combos usual are the end bits and as such, a touch dry. Fast food packaged fried items were fried hard, and were fine. The Pakora Chips are your basic battered potato slice (crosswise round wavy chip-style, not matchsticks). Falafel was pretty dense and dry, I should have gotten a dipping sauce. Overall decent fast food option in that corner if you're nearby. read more

We decided to try Shah's and we were throughly impressed! The chicken and rice here is amazing and the white sauce is great. We've had chicken and rice in Baltimore, NYC and other cities and honestly, this may have been better than those experiences. The food is absolutely delicious and this is a must try restaurant. We got takeout so cannot comment on the service or experience dining in but as far as the food goes, 10/10, would recommend! read more

Not bad but not the best. Be sure to check your takeout or DoorDash orders because they forgot multiple items of mine sadly

I love how fresh everything was the service there is okay on a busy day I may come back on one of their slower days.
