    Another visit and it was 10/10!! I had the Philly cheesesteak and hubby had the combo plate with rice and both were so delicious!!

    It's like a chipotle of Mediterranean food. Fast and friendly service. I tried the chicken over brown rice with an assortment of salads on top. The chicken was cut up grilled thighs and very flavorful but the red seasoning on it stains fingers so be careful. The brown rice was super fresh along with the salads and veggies that topped it off. The wings we tried were small and covered in a breading before being fried but had a nice flavor. It's a bit of a whole in the wall located in a shopping plaza which offers plenty of parking They take credit cards too

    Build Your Own Salad

    Extremely good value for the amount of food you get. I built my own salad and got a combination of their chicken and lamb meat as my protein. There's not a lot of choice for the salad, but the star is the meats. I preferred the lamb gyro meat to the chicken. It was more flavorful and juicy. If you're looking for a gourmet experience, this place isn't it, but if you want good food for a good price give it a try.

    Combo Lamb and Chicken over Rice and Kofta Gyro

    With so many Shah's Halal spots popping up around CT, we decided it was time to go and see what they were all about! We visited their Norwalk location for a fast-casual dinner. We enjoyed their chicken and lamb combo platter over rice with all of the fixings, including all of their signature sauces, as well as the kofta gyro. Even their Philly cheesesteak and hot wings were delicious! I would definitely come back and it's great to know a quality halal spot I can recommend. All of the ingredients were noticeably fresh, and the staff worked quickly to prepare all of the orders coming their way!

    Chicken over rice with white & green sauce, and salata

    I love shah's halal. It is always fresh and yummy. I also really like that they are open really late every day.

    6 Piece Hot Wings

    I am pleasantly surprised to find a Shah's here. They started as a cart in Queens and I have eaten at one of those carts. I am happy to find good halal chicken over rice nearby instead of having to wait for my next trip into NY. Shah's chicken over rice is very good and flavorful as in the rice. The chicken is not dry at all. You can choose the vegetables you want in the platter, lettuce, bell peppers and onions, and mixed vegetables. The mixed vegetable salad was fresh and a nice palette cleanser. They also have a choice of white sauce, hot sauce, and green sauce. I also had the hot wings but it was not good. I expected it to have some sauce coating the wings but it was only bread and seasoned. I tasted mostly salt and pepper. Hard pass. Stick with the rice plates and gyros.

    First time trying out this restaurant for take out, it's like buffet style , you pick the side to go with your dishes. I love the salad and Hummus!!!!! We ordered Lamb and chicken both tastes great and can't miss the white and hot sauce. The meat are slightly lighter taste than the one i get in city, but I'd prefer less sodium. Decent price too! Thank you to the sweet guy who answered our questions and gave me a free dessert sorry i forgot his name. No pictures of the food, ate them all before i could take one, oh well next time then.... Highly recommend if you want something healthy and fast.

    3 things about this restaurant: 1. The staff that served my food was very friendly. Second timer at Shah's and from the moment I stepped my foot in the door, the staff greeted with a welcoming smile and asked how I was doing. 2. Price is AMAZING. $7.99 + tax for a combo plate and they stuff the plate up. I have been to different halal food places in CT but this is the best halal food restaurant in CT. 3. Quality is fresh and they care about their ingredients. Because the price is reasonable, people might think they quality is just okay but that is not the case. Also, the place is super clean and is following the pandemic safety protocols. Overall, 5/5! Nothing but positive experiences and highly recommend to people looking for halal foods.

    Chicken and falafel, 4/5
    Joe B.

    I went for lunch at Shah's Halal Food for the first time this past week. While this type of middle eastern food is among my favorite, knowing it was a chain restaurant gave it a slight stigma in my eyes, but I tried not to hold that against this restaurant. I decided to try the chicken and the falafel as a salad. It took an extra two minutes for the falafel which was not a big deal to me. Otherwise, like Chipotle, there was a bar with options to go with your rice and meat. I got pretty much everything, the onions/peppers, the hummus, the cucumber and tomato salad, iceberg lettuce, chickpeas, and both the green and white sauces. It was a quick option, making it even more enticing. I had the red sauce on the side. The chicken was flavorful and delicious. The falafel was a bit dense and underwhelming. The red sauce was super spicy. The green sauce was a bit tangy, a nice addition. The rice was well-cooked, one of my favorite types of long grain rice. Otherwise, it was an amalgam of flavors, textures, and temperatures. I didn't give five stars because of the falafel, so maybe upon my return another 'meat' might impress me as much as the chicken, or just chicken. It was also a bit one-dimensional, or maybe under-seasoned, I should say. I am nitpicking here, but will probably return for lunch on other days, to give it another shot. If I am going to give priority between this or chipotle, both being chains with similar offerings (different cuisines), I am picking chipotle. But, for some variety, I will go back.

I was impressed with just how sweet they were given that it's only natural ingredients. I also love that the juices come in reusable glass bottles, which are cute and sustainable. The first drink I tried was the OG, which is a beautiful blue color. I thought the workout instructor said the other one was called Recovery, but I didn't see that on the online menu so, now I'm thinking it may have been the Slim Project. That one was probably my favorite of the two, but it's tough to say! Overall, these are some of the best cold-pressed juices I've tried. The quality is definitely top-tier, though the price reflects that. I'm excited to come back and explore more of the menu. I'd love to return for brunch with friends or family and split some toasts, a salad, and smoothies.

This has happened multiple times where people are waiting and waiting and there seems to be food ready for pick up. Here's a pic of my latest visit. My food- avocado toast is waiting and ready in the white to go box. And the lady is just talking to who looks to be her boss/owner and he's leaning back just talking to her...telling her an in depth story. Meanwhile the guys at the grill are busy making the orders. The person running the cashier is taking orders and this dope is leaning there, telling his story and she's just listening letting the food stack up. I deleted the other pic where there are a ton of orders on that table and they're just talking away....while the food is good, the customer service is poor. I timed 10 minutes where I was waiting for my food- and half of which was because this dude and chick were engrossed in some convo which prevented her from multi-tasking. Shame on him for preventing her from doing her job and not adding value. Shame on her for not excusing him to get the food out to the waiting customers...who by the way, can SEE you and our waiting food!!! The food has to be taken to the counter (as seen in the foreground of the pic)...it's not far. Low score as this happens REPEATEDLY. Step up the customer service and focus on the customer because no one likes $10.00 soggy avocado toast. Btw when not soggy, it's delicious but due to consistent poor service I haven't had non soggy in a while. As I write this, I guess the joke is on me as I keep coming back. Going to find me a new joint with better customer service. PS- when she FINALLY brings the food she brings the latest made food out, and I wait till the end. The other lady and I who were waiting (she's the bag delivery and I'm the white to go order) look at each other with the same thoughts.

You will be amazed on how tasty the food is - especially paired with the hot sauce! Of everything we have tried so far on the menu - the breakfast ones are definitely the fav. Although be prepared to drop a bit of $$. And they are a cashless cafe.
