When we ordered it, the woman who took our order told us "good choice, it's crunchy, the way it's supposed to be." Later she came by our table and asked us how it was. It was thinly sliced red cabbage in a simple lemony dressing. We said it was perfect. She said "that's what I told you."

We ordered two lamb gyros and fries. The pita was packed with fresh veggies, sauce and meat. Every bite was filled with yummy flavors. The fries were basic but perfect. Crisps and salted perfectly; great combo. I loved this spot and would totally go back!

Been meaning to update my review for a bit but man I love this place. The chicken schnitzel pita is…read moreone of the best sandwiches in Brooklyn hands down.

The mixed grill is perfectly cooked, the chicken shawarma is juicy and delicious, and the falafel is crispy on the outside and soft inside.

Whether you're dining in, ordering takeout, or catering an event, Semkeh consistently delivers amazing food and generous portions.

What was once a humble cart in eastern Queens has ballooned to a number of locations across the…read morecountry and beyond, including this Shah's cart on the corner of 46th and Greenpoint Ave. The meteoric rise that Shah's has experienced over the years has been nothing short of impressive. If memory serves correctly, this cart started initially under the 7 train 46th Street station tracks before moving further into the Sunnyside Arch (#1). Since the name has taken off, even the cart looks different with bright colors and big branding. The good news is the food is still tasty. Most of the time, I tend to go for the evening hours when I might not be completely sober (#2) aiming for my go-to combination lamb and chicken over rice with a blanket slathering of white sauce and a dash of hot sauce. I also found the service to be friendlier at night with Muhammad (?). However, even during the daytime, the cart serves as an excellent lunch option. It's a different crew but the food is no less tasty. Different crowds are here at different times, so there are weights occasionally, but I found that the food has always been consistent without much of a wait. While the prices have gone up significantly due to foodflation, the portions have been consistently hearty. I have a feeling they accept credit card, but I always recommend paying in cash.

It was pretty empty, but there was a place to charge my phone. It's nice. It was clean in there. The halal food was good but I've had better. I'd come here though if I just needed a quick bite.

I'm more used to pitas like this having lettuce, tomato, and cucumber with perhaps onions and olives with feta and this falafel pita is more limited in toppings with red onions, herbs, and a few tomatoes. I assume it is to elevate the experience of being able to really taste the very delicious homemade falafel. I also tried an order of fries and they were really good, still hot when delivered, and excellent dipped in the garlicky tzatziki.
