    Raw chicken sandwich.

    Absolutely horrendous. I ordered 2 "spicy" chicken sandwiches, today March 14,2026. I am fasting for Ramadan so was looking forward to some good halal food. However when i got home, my family and i realized that both of the chicken patties were regular chicken sandwich, not "spicy " how i ordered; although i confirmed with the cashier and he insisted it was spicy chicken. To make matters worse, the chicken patty is raw. Inedible. Took a bite and the middle of the patty is raw, gummy, chewie. It smells so bad and after a long day of fasting, your food was the biggest disappointment.

    I stopped in during a late lunch before getting my nails done. I miss halal carts from living in Philly, and this really hit the mark! Even at 2pm on a Thursday, there was a line. While it wasn't as fast as I'd hoped, I got my pakora chips fried fresh. They were delicious! I also got the chicken/rice platter. Huge portion that I only ate half of, and my husband enjoyed the rest later. Bold flavors and everything cooked well. The staff were really kind and attentive. Will definitely be back!!

    Shah's Halal Food is a welcome addition to the Lancaster, PA food scene occupying the space of a former pizzeria along a busy street right outside of the city. Signage has been up for a few months and I have been anticipating their opening. I finally discovered this week they are open so I had to get there. I stopped in today with some coworkers for lunch. This is a fast casual establishment serving build your own platters, gyros, salads and also features some sandwiches and side orders on the menu. Service was quick and friendly and the interior was clean. I ordered the Kofta Kebab Platter. Platters include choice of protein served over basmati rice and salad. The Kofta Kebab Platter comprises of two chicken skewers that were sliced. I chose to add cucumbers, tomatoes, hummus, onion, white sauce, hot sauce and BBQ sauce was accidentally added but did not interfere with the flavors. Every bite was an explosion of flavors that I thoroughly enjoyed and everything was delicious. Be aware that their hot sauce has good kick to it! My coworkers all enjoyed their food as well. The falafel, Kofta and fries are all cooked to order so there is a small wait if you order those items. I definitely plan on returning to try other items on the menu.

    I definitely recommend this place the food was delicious and a special thank to the cashier friend who brought my order to my car .

    The hostess/server was not friendly. The food had a taste of old cooking oil. It lost it's charm from the previous owner.

    The flavors were mid- the pictures shown are not accurate depictions of what you actually receive…read more Do NOT order the chicken nuggets, in the picture they look like actual chicken with good breading. They are literally the generic ones from Walmart. wanted to try something new - and ended up disappointed.

    I had the buffet, which I was charged $14.99 for. Much better than the $18.00 someone else paid…read more However, I think it was still too much, given the variety of the dishes. Not very many things on the buffet, although all of them were hot. The restaurant was very clean, and the ambiance was good. The service was good, although the gentleman who was working didn't seem to have a lot of English, which may be a problem in the future. He was very kind and helpful though, which is a plus. I think this place has a lot of potential. They've JUST opened, and haven't ironed out the kinks yet. I will definitely be back. Suggestions to the owners: 1. You need a Meze/Combination platter (I think this is Lancaster County's first Middle Eastern restaurant, people don't know what the food is, they want to try it without committing to the whole dish.) Maybe do a "Pick 3 appetizers" for $11.99 or something. 2. The buffet was bland, don't Americanize the spices,we can handle the real seasonings, this isn't overly spicy for us. I was quite surprised to see that some of the dishes hadn't even been salted. 3. Maybe some fusion ME/American dishes? There is a place that does Shawarma fries in Chester County. Best of luck! I think you're on to something.

And that means a lot coming from me, I have tried many places and have a very high bar. We started with the mezza platter- hummus was my absolute favorite (which really sets the tone for what the other dishes will be like). SO creamy, soft, smooth, light, but flavorful. Destroyed the platter. Then we shared a chicken Greek salad and chicken kabob platter that came with rice and grilled veggies. Chicken was so juicy and soft on both dishes. Perfectly seasoned. Chicken kabob platter was piping hot and fresh. Rice and veggies perfectly cooked. The owner came to our table to ask how everything was. He was so sweet, and so were the ladies waiting on us. We are absolutely coming back asap- and bringing the kids!

The portion was quite generous (it's the kind of portion that my wife and I would split, while also ordering an appetizer... but alas. I was traveling solo for this trip).

    This is one of my favorite spots for Mediterranean food. The food is amazing, service is wonderful,…read moreand I appreciate the homey but fast casual approach of the dining room. I discovered this place from Yelp and am so glad that I did. I really like their shawarma platters. All of the meats (chicken, beef, lamb) are good. I am usually not a fan of lamb because of the games taste but it is not noticeable here. I like the hummus as a side and it comes with a delicious piece of bread, that smells amazing if you pop it in the oven for a few minutes. They also have an option to sub the rice for veggies in the platters. I enjoy dining in because the service and ambiance are nice. It is also convenient for take out. My only gripe is that they use styrofoam takeout containers so the hot food does burn into the containers, which releases toxic chemicals. Definitely worth a stop for food! Located in a plaza with plenty of parking.

I didn't hold out hope for battered fries, but they were surprisingly good for frozen fries. I didn't give them a 5 because of the hummus appetizer. The hummus was unnaturally smooth. It tasted fine, but whipped texture was a little disconcerting. Pita bread is kept is little plastic bags that they might microwave before serving. Bread is fresh and warm when you open the bag, but it degrades quickly.

Fries were fresh, and perfectly seasoned with salt. All their burgers and sandwiches have the Route 66 sauce. Don't skip it, if it's served with it, just go with the flow!
