The young lady at the counter helped guide me through their menu options and made sure that I selected an option that would be best for my dietary preferences. Pro tip - the brown rice is cooked with chicken stock so if you're vegetarian, go for the regular white rice. I ended up with the falafel bowl and added most of their veggie toppings as well as the tahini sauce, hot sauce, and a lemon vinaigrette sauce. Sauce me up. The serving size was generous and everything tasted fresh. Just what I needed to fuel the rest of the day's adventures.

They don't drown it in white sauce unless you want it that way. The brown rice was flavored so well! You can choose white or brown. They give you all the toppings you want and they're all fresh, high quality. There are so many tangy, delicious flavors all together! Chicken is grilled fresh, so you have a 10-15 min wait, but I like that rather than premade chicken. It's a quiet, clean, peaceful restaurant with plenty of seating. Smells clean. They're very popular. People come to eat or for takeout. But you wouldn't know. Service was perfect! Shri was fast, efficient, so respectful, asking everyone how they like the food. She really welcomed me and every customer. I wish all people at such places were like her! Generous with servings and respectful, she looked like she really wants you to enjoy and come back! They have lamb chops, salmon, shrimp kebabs, all sort of Mediterranean foods. They won't skimp on toppings. You'll be full and want to return! Highly recommend!

Wow! There are so many places that serve Middle Eastern flavors inclusive of gyros and rice…read moreplatters...I've definitely had my share of these flavors over the years. Shah's offers a nice variety of food like chicken over rice, falafel, gyros, salads, sandwiches, and desserts. Most of their menu is highly customizable and you can build your entree to something you prefer, whether you're looking to eat more greens, have a carb party, or just be carnivorous, it's totally up to you. I've found their sauces are bold and delicious, a lot better than many other halal food spots I've tried. The rice platters itself are high quality and packed with flavor all by itself sans sauce, but with it, it really takes it next level! I've found my go-to order being lamb over rice with all the fixins (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and chickpeas) plus extra white sauce and just a single line of red. Mix it all up and it's a party! Besides the platters, I also found that their whole pitas and pakora chips as a nice vessel to carry the mixture. The platter is enough for one very hungry girl I am, and the baklava for dessert was the cherry on top. I'm glad to have found Shah's as a top contender and will be looking to try one again close to me.

I have the bowls before and enjoyed them - but skip the new Fat Joe's sub - at least the Old School…read moreJoe. The sub roll is toasted, then marinara is added, meatballs (without sauce), mozzarella and parmesan. Rolled tightly into paper, even for a sub staying in. Contrary to the photos - the cheese is NOT melted by a toaster, so it globs together in a mass, warmed slightly by the sub. The marinara is good, but because it's at the bottom, it soaks through the bread, making it a sloppy mess. And I was eating it right away, I can't imagine take away. I did ask for the sub to be toasted after the cheese was added, but I was told that isn't something they can do. The employees were super nice & friendly, as usual.
