It was my first time trying Halal food! Wow, was it delicious and unique. I ordered a platter. Chicken over rice. It's served with brown basmati rice and a salad. There's toppings you can add, I chose onions, peppers, and black beans. I added the white sauce! And added a side of pita bread. It's was perfect! The chicken is flavorful with a little kick. All the ingredients were fresh. The restaurant was very clean and the woman who helped me was very kind. This place is a must! read more

The falafel on pita was superb. One of the best I've tasted yet. Service was on time, all the time.

Missing 4 items on an order of 8 things. None of the sauces that I ordered were included.

The food the service and the ambience was amazing. Large portions taste great! The restaurant spot was very clean well kept.

Cheap, healthy eats that are delicious, with friendly service! The restaurant isn't fancy but it is clean and there is seating. My go-to is double chicken with rice - no salad, no veggies, no sauce. read more

Fantastic food! Good service. Small seating but very nice. Definitely will be back soon.

I'm glad to find Shah's has a new location in Stamford so I don't have to order from the Norwalk location. Shah started out as a halal cart in Queens, NY and has since expanded to brick and mortar restaurants. The food is good and the vegetables are fresh. My favorite is the fish. It is tasty and light, not as heavy as the other meats. You can choose from a few mix-ins, including hummus, but I prefer the mix vegetable salad and the onions and bell peppers. Add some white sauce and a bit of green sauce and it makes a great meal. read more

Shah's Halal Food - Fish - Halal Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

So I had a busy day on Wednesday and didn't have time to prepare dinner. I remembered that there was a new Halal restaurant near us on Hope Street. We ordered Chicken over Rice, Kofta Kebab over rice, Falafel over rice (do we like rice?), a Philly Cheesesteak (yes, they make these!), and a side of Falafel. They offer a number of "toppings", such as hummus, "white sauce", hot sauce, green chili sauce (they recommended we ask for extra green sauce when we go to pick it up, so we did), tahini, side salad, etc. After I called they told me the food would be ready in :15 minutes (!!!) and I was like, ok, that's great, not believing them. I entered a very clean (and very red) establishment which upped my confidence in having chosen the right place for dinner). I showed up in :15 minutes and they were just finishing up making the food and I was in and out of there in just about two minutes - but not before speaking with the nice gentleman at the counter ringing up our order, who answered my probing questions such as "how long have you been open" and "how many Shah's are there?", etc., which he graciously answered. On the counter they had for sale their white and hot sauces bottled and labeled, which alerted me to the fact that this is a much larger operation than I first thought. Apparently, Shah's is a big supplier of Halal street carts in NYC, and the nice person behind the counter told me they originated in Queens. As we drove home with our order, we got stuck in traffic on Hope street at 5:00 PM, as one does, but the car smelled amazing. Finally, it's dinner time! The family comes to the table and we all open our orders. We begin eating and everything is... DELICIOUS. My kofta is the perfect consistency and flavor. The rice took on the kofta flavor and the hot sauce, hummus, tahini I ordered over it was placed on top, but sunk in to the meat and rice a bit for a very flavorful eating experience. The hot sauce is HOT - no joke - so I'd only recommend getting it if you like spicy. (You can also order all of these toppings on the side). I like spicy. When I was eating my dinner, it took me back to my days living in NYC, like the fictional restaurant critic in the movie Ratatouille, where upon his first spoonful, travels back in his mind to simpler days as a young boy. Only I went back as a 19 year old eating a gyro from a street cart on Sixth Avenue & 50th. My entire family enjoyed their respective dishes, and at one point, the table was completely silent, as we devoured our food. I'd say all in all Shah's Halal was a five star at-home dining experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who visits Stamford's East Side. read more

See all

Love the menu. I used to buy from the push carts in manhattan when I was working down there. Same great food and toppings. I usually order the lamb and chicken over rice with white and red sauce. The service is friendly as well. read more

Great food - felt like New York City in Connecticut!! I will be coming back - the guys here are friendly and attentive - the place is clean to the fact you can eat off the floor (I don't suggest that) read more

Best customer service and great food every time. The guy in the front is so great I love coming here for his amazing service

I ordered dinner from here after hearing good things about them and wanting to change up my usual takeout places in Stamford. I got the chicken & rice platter that came w salad and it was so flavorful and delicious! I have no idea what white sauce is but it came in a packet and it went amazing with the chicken and rice. Also, the green Chile sauce- a tiny bit spicy but yummy. I threw both of them on my dinner & was delicious. I ordered online & was ready on time by the time I went to pick it up. I would order from here again. read more

This used to be my go to place each week, however I stop because the past few trips, I've noticed hair in my food. Not just once but a couple of times. Initially I thought perhaps it is not them, but after a few trips, I confirmed it is. What a bummer. read more

The halal food is great. I was already happy with that. One of my go-to hangover foods for sure. But THE WINGS. Easily the best wings I've ever had in Stamford. Do not sleep on the wings. They're like, I'm not sure, double battered?? And the hot sauce is INSIDE the batter? They look like just very plump fried chicken on the outside but they are soft and fluffy and juicy and out of this world when you bite into them. Seriously you will thank me later. ADD THEM TO YOUR ORDER. read more

So-so Very good prices but the quality of food is Average. Also feels too commercial, not like a real kebab place, next time when I want some kebab I'll drive to other places. read more

Really high quality food with huge portions and consistently good. They drown the chicken and rice bowls with their amazing sauce and are generous with toppings. A real treat and something I don't feel gross after eating. It's not the prettiest but it tastes phenomenal read more

The food was good as usual. But the server, a young lady who works there occasionally was not. She always skimp on the portions and always forget to give you the sauce, even when you remind her. Well, I guess shame on me for not checking prior to leaving. The gentleman who normally works there is right on point. read more

I ordered chicken over rice without onions and with white sauce and this guys brought me at different way and very very spicy I just waste my money I call them over the phone to tell them whats the problem and the girl was very rude read more

On a late night where I was starving and happened to be in Stamford, this place was the happiest discovery. I LOVE halal carts, so imagine that concept, but as a casual sit-down eatery. Absolutely DELICIOUS! Plenty of options to load up your platter, and all your favorite, classic sauces to spruce up the flavor. My server, Viv, was super generous with the portions too. I can't believe I'd never heard of this place before. Will absolutely be back. read more

Amazing food! Great amount for the price! It brings variety to Stamford! Will be there more often read more

go to place in downtown Stamford. Open late and always fresh no matter the time. The people who work there are very nice as well.

It gets the job done ! 2 meals for like 10 bucks ... atleast when I can control myself :) It is really one of the best fast food joints I've been to.... One day I'll order something other than the combo plate (or not ) read more

This Brooklyn Diva just rejoiced!!!! I recently relocated from Brooklyn to Darien as a resultant of COVID-19's undertaking of my beloved city *sob* ... So imagine my surprise when I saw the Halal Gem of Queens open in my "new" neighborhood! Just when I was so melancholy about missing my favorite NYC fare! The green sauce alone is so delectable you can eat it with a spoon like soup! Service was impeccable, food quality was top notch, the establishment was pristine and beautifully renovated, staff was extremely polite! I am mortified to admit that I am heading back there for the second time TODAY! It's that delicious... I ordered the combo platter with chicken and lamb with cucumber and onion salad, black beans, hummus! Sensational flavor! Their set-up is like a Halal Buffet of Bliss and you can choose any topping to your heart's content! Weeeee!!!!! I would love for them to get a frequent customer system in place-- a punch card or something. Because I'm going to need it! read more

You can always count on good comfort food! The chicken over rice is my to go meal. The rice is excellent.

Amazing food. I have had the chicken gyro with everything and fries. No humus though. I am not a fan. Perfect pricing. I could go there every day for lunch and dinner , it's so good. I see they have burgers too . I cant wait To try them. Oh boy!! read more

Delicious fresh food. Generous portions presented exactly the way it's pictured on the Menu, which is a rare thing when you order delivery like me. Even the Shopping Bag is very nice. I love their Food and prompt delivery. read more

I've ordered from here on a few occasions, both through in person ordering and via Uber Eats. I have decided to finally write a review based on today's experience. The food has always been consistent and tasty, however, today they forgot one of the most important ingredients (white sauce). Not only were they apologetic, but insisted on correcting the error by remaking and personally delivering a new order. I would highly recommend them. read more

the food here is very good. portions are very good also. just very surprising to hear Mexican music blasting outside the restaurant and inside the restaurant that you cannot hear the staff when they talk to you. don't mind music but it's a bit too much when you cannot speak or hear the staff. read more

Good quick serve service at a good price. They also have big servings and a nice clean seating area. Nice to have this option in locally in the area. read more

Delicious, fresh food and to top at a very fair price. My new go to for chicken rice and salad.

My colleagues and I have loved this place since it opened in Stamford. Just had takeout and the portions of the chicken over rice and lamb over rice platters were MUCH smaller than just last week! I hope this was just a one-off...we'll give it one more shot. read more
