    Great Halal restaurant (that originated in NYC maybe from a food truck) with gyros for $9 and plates/platters for $11 - meats to choose from include chicken, beef, fish and lamb, and they have great sauces like white, green and red. Wide assortment of beverages available as well. Great and prompt service (they make the food live in front of you) and spacious atmosphere with stairs leading up to the counter and tables/chairs all around. Highly recommended!

    We don't have many halal food carts/spots where I live, so I was thrilled to find Shah's Halal Food on a recent trip to DC. I had a fish gyro which was amazing, and I ate it quickly and forgot to take a picture. They do fry the fish fresh, so if you order a fish and rice bowl or a fish gyro, it takes a few extra minutes, but it is worth it. It's hot, crispy, and the gyro is filled with fish in every bite. Get some extra white sauce on the side to put your meal over the top. My husband and I both ate for under $30, so Shah's is great if you're on a budget. Plenty of seating inside as well.

    I honestly miss the Halal Guys in this spot, but this is a decent replacement. I got my usual order, a combo platter featuring chicken and lamb. I thought the lamb was more flavorful than the chicken, so maybe I would just get all lamb next time. Plenty of rice and white sauce on top and three streaks of green sauce, which wasn't too spicy at all. Just like Halal Guys, Shah's packs plenty of food into the tray. I had enough for two meals! Pretty clean on the inside of the restaurant. Service was nice.

    Food was cold, flavorless, and service was almost non existent. Felt awkward inside. I even asked the guy making the food if he warmed up the pita and he said he did so he definitely lied. The white sauce tasted like ranch. Definitely won't be returning.

    Chicken over Rice

    Shah's is the best thing known to man. I love it so much. If I had to pick one meal to eat for the rest of my life it would be chicken over rice with everything and extra white sauce.

    This is a busy little sandwich shop that has a small dining area and some seating out front on the…read moresidewalk. There is metered street parking and commercial lots/garages within a reasonable walking distance from here. They serve wraps, salads, and cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered the Korean Steak Sandwich. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare my sandwich. They should use a number system for order pickups because people, including myself, had difficulty determining which order they were serving. Many of the sandwich names sounded alike. My sandwich was kind of small for the price, and it wasn't very filling. It was, however, very good. It was flavorful and packed with flavor. The service was ok. It was nothing special. They did their job and did not go beyond or be overly friendly. All in all, I would recommend checking this deli out for some really good sandwiches. They really do live up to their name, the Best Sandwich Place.

Personally, don't think the hype meets the expectations. But with that said, it's still a good wrap and I'd get it again but I don't think it's the best wrap I've had or worth going out of your way for. If you're hungry and near by, sure go get it but don't make any special trips just for this wrap. Id love to try their other options on the menu at some point!

    I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

    This place fell way off…read more I was fooled by social media and ordered their Thanksgiving sub... false advertising. Did not look like the video - all bread and extremely SKIMPY. The worst part is they charged me nearly $20 for that abomination. What a rip off. I thought they were decent pre-covid, but apparently they just don't seem to care anymore. Other places make loaded sandwiches... save your money!!

As a certified sandwich girlie I can't go a single WEEK without heading to union market for this BLT. Neopol Smokery single handedly CARRIES this place the absurdity of quality of this sandwich is off the charts. Smoked salmon BLT stuffed to the brim with beautifully cooked smoked salmon, bacon, lettuce, tomato and red onion tied together on a bed of Romain with the most perfect gravlax mayo. Be sure to get it on the sunflower flax bread TRUST!!! Add sliced apples to it when your back in ten min for a second sandwich. I mean it. You will turn right back around the second you take a bite. Friendly staff and quick service make me love them even more. Also LGBTQ owned!! Don't forget the smoked mussels. Thank me later. They're 12 for $12 and I would do a disservice trying to explain how flavorful these bad boys are! Follow my TikTok for the full review and more! @thegutgoblin

The sandwich was packed with flavor: the smoky salmon paired perfectly with the salty bacon and crisp red onions. Every bite was rich and satisfying, and it came out in under 10 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, this spot really impressed me. Delicious food, quick service, and fresh ingredients. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Union Market.
