Shah's is hands down one of my favorite spots in Central Florida for some tasty halal food! This…read morelocation is right on Sand Lake Rd, right next to the Florida Mall. It has a nice spacious parking lot for easy access to the restaurant. Upon entering you place your order at the counter, then they have you choose additional toppings as they build your order right in front of you. The menu consists of pita wraps, and rice platters...with protein choices including lamb, chicken and falafel. For toppings they have a wide range of fresh items such as salad, cucumber, onions, hummus, and chickpeas. Now my go to order is always the combo rice platter with lamb and chicken. Let me tell ya'll... when I say that they pack on the food... they truly give you a generous portion. Oh and let's not forget about the white and red sauce which truly elevates the food and adds so much flavor! But I have to say... what keeps me coming back is the consistent amazing service I receive each and every time. There is a younger guy that works the counter who is always positive and tries to have a genuine conversation with each of his customers... which truly makes a difference. Definitely check out Shah's the next time you're around the area!

Our food came out relatively fast as it is a quick service restaurant but that's when it fell short as all of the food we ordered was lukewarm like you could tell it all had been sitting for a while as to the point of where it really lacked had this been hotter I'm sure it would have been better. The spicy chicken sandwich wasn't bad had it been hot I can see the flavors coming out more as it was a decent sized piece of chicken with some of the spicy sauce and some bread and butter pickles which I did find to be a surprise as not many places use those pickles on a chicken sandwich. My lady said her chicken pieces were also lukewarm and she said that had they been hot that they would have been significantly better as it fell the same way with the yuca fries as those too were lukewarm and just left her looking for warmer food. The empanada was probably the warmest item that we received it was ok as it had a decent flavor to it but it lacked a lot of chicken as it felt like it was mostly sauce which was definitely underwhelming at most. All of the employees we encountered were very friendly and busy working and cleaning and just seemed to be enjoying their shift which is definitely a plus as I know how it can get in a QSR environment. Even though this had nothing to do with the restaurant I do have to say that this random guy came in and was like arguing with the staff about using the restroom this is after he came over and took some paper towels from the employee's roll who was cleaning the windows kinda random but it was kinda amusing to watch them while we ate. One other thing I noticed here was that there was no trash can at all which I'm very much so not a fan of as I'm not for leaving my plates on the table for someone to clean it up at a fast food restaurant as that's something I prefer to do myself. Overall the food here definitely fell short as I'm not into getting lukewarm food a chicken sandwich should me piping hot when you first bite into it so it's for these reasons I highly doubt that I'll ever come back.

The only down side is that it is so popular, at times you may have to wait for your food, but it is worth the wait!! Having grown up in California and used to authentic and amazing Mexican food, I can vouch for this restaurant! You also have to be careful driving in and out of this spot because it's on an incline.

Are the Chicken Sandwich Wars (cue Megadeth) still happening? If so, Shake Shack might be one of…read morethe contenders! The Chicken Shack (cue B52s) is a nice piece of chicken with lettuce, pickles and sauce. I did add a tomato and onions at no charge. That's a surprise when other places are charging for those add ons. The Cheese Fries (cue Primus) were good too. Freshly made which is always a plus. I've had their burgers before but I think the chicken is just a better value... and I do use the term value loosely. My meal (with a soda pop (cue Hanson)) was over $16 before tax and tip and the only upgrade was the cheese on the fries. Yeah, it's pricey, but it's also pretty good. The store is run pretty efficiently too with a person dedicated to delivering food to tables and keeping things neat and tidy. I need to try an actual Milkshake (cue Village People) sometime as they sound good too.
