    Not as pretty looking because it's mixed already with everything. But it was yummy!
    Julie H.

    Shah's halal food restaurant recently opened about 2 weeks ago in the North point village shopping center. And it's pretty good here!! If you like Halal guys and DCG and wished that there was a place closer in Reston? Look no farther!! We got the combo platter as usual, they give pretty good portions of rice, chicken, gyro meats, veggies, red onions and you can choose other toppings like chickpeas, hummus, diced sweet onions, other types of veggies. Sauces they have the white sauce and spicy red sauce (which wasn't too spicy for us since we eat our food extra spicy) and they also have green chili sauce which we didn't get. Next time I will try some. But for now, this bowl of food was satisfying as it is. Their chicken and gyro meat tasted good, it wasn't overly salty like some places. Their meats went very well with their rice and veggies. Service was quick and friendly! We will be back for more!

    Shah's Halal Food is another expansion from a food truck in Queens, NY and they just opened in Reston with a free rice platter at lunch. For those that are familiar with the Halal Guys in NYC, this is very similar and it looks like they are growing just as fast. Lamb, Chicken, gyros, falafel, and even cheesesteaks. My son and I line up in the cold and the line outside quickly lengthens in size to 50+ folks. We wait approximately 10-15 minutes outside and then get inside where the friendly manager/owner (not sure which) chats with folks and talks about the impressive expansion they are doing in the DMV. Nice people working the store... We both opt for the Combo Rice Platter with lamb and chicken. The chicken has a reddish/orangish marinade which is a bit different from other halal places and you also can add numerous toppings - lettuce, cucumber/tomatoes, onions, chickpeas, hummus, fried veggies (onions, peppers), etc. You then must top it off with the white sauce and I also prefer the hot red sauce. There are a few other sauces offered but I didn't partake. How does it compare? Good, solid, tasty food...the proteins are moist and marinated nicely, the veggies are fresh and with the combo of the white and red sauce it is a good meal. Is it the best rendition I've had?? Probably not..but definitely a solid option when feeling a halal meal. Nice to have this new option in Reston...

    If you live in Reston and don't want to go out of your way to get The Halal Guys, this is a great and delicious alternative. It was full of flavor and the Falafel had a nice crunch to it.

    Went there the other day. It has a huge parking lot so it's not hard to find parking. It wasn't busy when I went in around 5, and food was good! I love DCG, but it's further out from me. This place is just as good minus the extra minutes to drive to DCG. They offer a variety of toppings such as beans, chickpeas, and salad, and they're generous with the sauce. I liked it and I will be back!

    Twisted Sweets and Savory had been on my radar for quite some time. Yet, it took us quite a while…read moreto give it a try. In part, that was us not quite able to figure out exactly where it was. Grant Street, it turns out, is disjointed. In other words, it's not like it's just a straight shot from one end to the other. We stopped in here on a Saturday around 4 p.m. The place closes at 6 p.m., and are closed on Sunday. At that time of day, they weren't at all busy. The young man at the counter took our orders, and someone working in the back made the sandwiches. We just ordered savory items, so we can't speak to how the sweet items are (although some of them sounded so good). I ordered the salmon sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with dill cream cheese, filled with smoked Atlantic salmon, spring mix, cucumber, and red onion." The bread choices are everything bagel, jalapeno, and cheesy. I chose the everything bagel and asked for no onion. I found this sandwich to be tasty, but I thought they could have gone lighter with the dill cream cheese. The bread had a nice crispness. My husband ordered the ham and Swiss sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with paprika mayo and filled with black forest ham, Swiss cheese, fresh romaine hearts, spring mix, sweet pepper, tomato, cucumber, and red onion". He wasn't happy with the paprika mayo, as he says mustard would have worked better. Nor did he care for the sweet peppers. Now he knows not to order the default setting for this sandwich but instead to customize the toppings. They work with DoorDash, which, when ordering online, gives the option to customize one's order. There are high tables, the type that are found in bars, for those who want to eat their sandwiches there. The place is kept very clean.

    This place is not visible from the road. It looks like all the buildings around are offices, but…read moretrust your map; this place is in one of those buildings. Drive around if you need to, and you'll eventually find the sign. Should you go through all that trouble to find the place? Umm, yes, because the sub I had here was really tasty and gave me a homey feel. It's family-run, and the staff was very friendly. If you are out of ideas for lunch and nearby, consider trying the subs at this place. You won't regret it. The thick double plastic bags are overkill, though. I wish they would use paper wraps and paper bags instead. Something to improve upon.

    I'm so glad that I was able, courtesy of Yelp, to get a free sandwich here. I brought my husband…read morealong (we paid for his sub) and we both decided to try the "Crazy Italian" sub. We both ended up liking this sub so much that we've now had it two more times. This sub consists of: "capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, Genoa salami, lettuce, tomato and provolone cheese." We got them with oil and vinegar and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. The second time we ordered 2 subs using Doordash. These subs came with the default toppings which are mayonnaise, onions and hot peppers. We both agreed that we prefer them with just the oil and vinegar plus salt and pepper. These subs are the best we've had. The bread is soft and fresh plus the family who owns the place knows how to assemble a sub so that everything is packed in well, thus making it easier to eat. All the ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The family who runs it is very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised when we went there recently, since we were in the area, and decided to buy 2 subs to go, that the lady who waited on us when we first went there, remembered us! The one drawback---They are located in an office park. Thus their business hours correspond to regular work hours. On Thursday and Friday, they do stay open until 6 p.m. They are closed on the weekends. So...basically, it's a hidden gem. If you like subs, it's worth a visit or an order on Doordash. And, yes, we will be back!

    I have frequented this location many times, and I am headed there tonight. Three out of four times…read moreno complaints. Special requests seem very hit and miss, which is frustrating when you pay for extras. I stick to the steak and cheese, onion rings, Italian sub, godfather sub, and New Yorker. Curly fries are also very consistent. Occasionally I take a chance on steak fries, but sometimes what I receive is under cooked. The supremo pizza is ok, but sometimes undercooked and tastes like a Digiorno frozen pizza. Stopped ordering the calzone because it rarely gets to the temperature to melt the cheese inside and the dough is a little under. (Maybe get it to go and heat for 10-12 min in 400 degree oven.) Always clean inside when I have visited and tables maintained. Service usually with a smile. Their to go business keeps them hopping. They have a decent size menu and worth a try, but improvements could be made.

    Oh my God. When I tell you that my office wanted to order from here last Friday, I literally said…read moredon't do it because I just had a really bad experience and they cannot handle the lunch crowd. However, I was outnumbered and so I decided to give them another shot thinking I might possibly change my review if today's experience was better. Who would believe it was even worse. Needless to say, I told everyone, I told you so, they are an utter shit hole and cannot deal with a line of people. The man that I now know is the manager, wasn't delegating people behind the counter. He was running around doing a whole bunch of nothing himself. I waited for 25 minutes to pick up the order for my office and everybody's food was cold. This location is an utter shit hole. There's no other way to describe them.

Instead we got local chicken breast, which at about $7 per lb. Is pretty good for local chicken. Our CSA previously charged $10.99 a lb. And some pork chops to throw on the grill - they were nice thick cuts too! Their different beef cuts looked good and the one guy was talking about bringing in some A5 in the future (admittedly this was a conversation I was eaves dropping on so I don't have details -- but... something to look forward to???) They also have different prepared foods - apparently their shepherd pies were very popular this past week and sold out and they have shaved ribeye that we would have liked for cheesesteaks (alas! Also sold out) It was a Sunday so I am sure they were winding down inventory for the week, but if they are selling out - it must be good, right!?! Bottom line: knowledgeable and helpful staff & good, quality selection - wish they were closer to us, but we will be back anyway!
