    Chicken over rice w 2 lines of hot sauce, Standard white sauce, green 2 lines sauce
    Haley T.

    No joke this is the best halal chicken over rice I've ever had. Been here multiple times after a long nba game and it always hits. Open late and food is GREAT. I recommend ordering online before hand and then picking up because I hate to wait a the food stays warm. Need halal chicken (or lamb) over rice...COME HERE!

    Combo Platter

    I've been to Shah's Halal Food but I think the food is just off here or something. This used to be where Dunkin Donuts used to be before it turned into Shah's and Legend's Chicken and Waffles. Parking space is small and limited but most people get their food to go as they make the food here pretty quick. Like all Shah's they are known for wraps, bowls with rice and veggies. It's a quick and affordable meal to get for a solid price and it fills you up. I got the combo platter which was just chicken & lamb, rice, and cucumbers and lettuce over white sauce. They have everything ready chipotle style and it's pretty much ready to make in minutes over the counter. The place is small but it's clean. Since not much people are dining in I feel that tables are less used but it could also be different at night where it's open until super late. It's still good to get for a quick bite but it's just not like other locations I've been to.

    This is actually two restaurants in one, Shah's Halal Food and Legend's Chicken and Waffles. So they have wraps, fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, salads and gyros. They have a decent sized parking lot and a modest dining area. The staff there were friendly. I ordered a 3-piece meal with a side of potato wedges. The food was already premade so I had it right away. That was not a good thing though. The food was very bad. The wedges were old and hard. I could not even eat them. The biscuit that came with the meal was equally hard and I could not even take a bite out of it. The chicken was ok. It looked better than it tasted and i had to force myself to finish it. This meal was a struggle and I really wanted to like this place. I do not think I will come here again and cannot in good faith recommend this joint.

    "It's like chipotle for halal food." That's what the guy behind the counter said. He was right. Fast. Good. And tons of veggies on the gyro. The inside is clean. No frills. It was November and a bit cool inside but the staff was busy wiping tables down and keeping everything neat and tidy. When we ordered and said we'd be eating in, the counter guy said he'd grab us for the gyro so we could eat at the same time as the Philly and fries would take a few minutes. They do a pretty brisk business. A lot of folks coming and going while we were eating in. And all of the food looked really good. Went passing through the area, this place is now on my list to stop. As I definitely want to try their chicken, especially their Nashville chicken. Don't look at this place and say no way. Definitely worth a stop

    Open late and really nice service. The place had a few tables and was a bit dirty inside and the lights were quite bright so it was a quick stop for us. The chicken waffles were pretty standard but it hit the spot for late night bites. The chicken was really big so I would order less than you think. The sauces were all good.

    Capo Italian Deli - Old Town Alexandria…read more I reviewed our new Old Town neighbor - Capo Italian Deli - early in 2026. Time for an update. The deli is outstanding. Taking up a tiny footprint on the N. Washington Avenue thoroughfare, a few seconds from King Street, the deli delivers both hot and cold deli entrees, soft drinks, and salads. There's maybe half a dozen tables inside and a couple of tables outside, but from what I have seen thus far, most of the trade is with carry-out service, drawing from the excellent reputation Capo brought with it as it arrived in Old Town (the restaurant has siblings in Shaw NW, and Western Market in the District, Tyson's Corner in Vienna, VA, Annapolis and Potomac, MD). Fresh Philly rolls for those seeking a traditional hero sandwich, with go-to seasonings and all of the essential protein groups. My favorite is a large half roast beef half turkey with lettuce, tomato, and mayo (I skip the Italian dressing, which is part of the default, and I skip the cheese). I can and have made this $18 sandwich last three meals (so I ask them to cut the sandwich into three pieces), and the ingredients stay fresh for the next 24 hours. The last time I did this the sandwich fed me from 4:45 a.m. to 9 p.m., as I served as an election officer at one of Alexandria's polling places. Neat, trim, and completely satisfying. Just a point of concern: given its location, the opportunity to double-park while picking up an order seems to be just too tempting. This location, however, cannot over the long term sustain double-parkers. The deli is about 100 feet from the intersection of King Street and N. Washington Street. There is a dedicated lane for cars seeking to park adjacent to the deli. And then there are two northbound lanes on N. Washington Street. That's it - just two lanes serving one of the busiest intersections in Old Town. If a delivery-service car pulls up alongside one of the parked cars, all hell will break loose by drivers who suddenly find a delivery vehicle double-parking in front of Capo, leaving but one northbound lane open for however long it takes for the delivery agent to gather the order and beat it out of there. This happens with remarkable frequency, starting at about 11 a.m. and running throughout the day. That's not going to make good neighbors of Capo's nearby shops. Alexandria Parking has its work cut out for it, but here the rule prohibiting double-parking has to be enforced - it's both a safety issue and an issue of common courtesy. Doesn't matter if you think you'll just be in and out of the deli in seconds. We know it doesn't work that way, not always, and here - not even often. More often than not the double-parker will be creating a traffic hazard just by parking alongside a parked car in front of the deli. Please, don't do this.

    This review is based solely on the customer service I received over the phone…read more I had placed a $62 order through DoorDash and chose Capo even though there are plenty of other deli spots nearby, because they normally make really good sandwiches. Unfortunately, the customer service this time was extremely disappointing. I called with a simple question about the bread since I have braces and needed something soft. The person who answered the phone was rude and dismissive, acting as if my call was an inconvenience. When I asked which bread was the softest, he cut me off to say they were "super busy" and could only change the bread on one sandwich, not both. I asked again for clarification, and he continued sounding irritated and uninterested in helping. He repeated that they had a line of people and needed to know which one sandwich I wanted to change. For the amount I paid, the lack of basic courtesy and willingness to answer a straightforward question was unacceptable. This will be my last time ordering from Capo in Alexandria, VA.
