    Combo over Rice Chicken and Lamb (I ate some before taking the photo so it doesn't look as beautiful as it should)
    Huma H.

    Had to order from here after arriving late in Boston and honestly I was skeptical with all the negative reviews here. DONT LET THEM KEEP YOU AWAY FROM THE DELICIOUSNESS. idk the experience of everyone else on here (a lot of them seem to be delivery issues rather than food) but I got my Uber eats order just fine and let me tell you - it was delicious!! Super tender meat, fluffy rice, green sauce slapped a lil white sauce on the side was good (and also in packets!), and the veggies had a good freshness and crunch. I think this place is a chain (I've had it in ATL) and it seems to be consistent in quality. So good!

    Absolutely delicious! First time having it and wanted something similar to halal guys and so found this and it was SO good we had it for lunch then REORDERED it for dinner hahah. That speaks volume! Service was quick and everything looked clean as well! It was empty when we went but we sat down and ate and saw a bunch of people coming for delivery orders so clearly it has good traffic! Would recommend and eat there again for sure if i come to boston and am near that area.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Sabrina K.

    I was pleasantly surprised--the food surpassed my expectations. I really enjoyed the Philly cheese steak sandwich, and my friends liked theirs too: the fried chicken sandwich and lamb gyro. When they say spicy, they mean spicy! It is casual dining, fast-food style. Especially because there are not a lot of halal places in the area, this was a great find for us!

    Staple in our food (we took it out)
    Eugene W.

    The food is actually pretty good, and they give you a good quantity too. Generous with the meat. HOWEVER, we ordered through postmates and got a staple mixed into our food. That is unacceptable. It wasn't on the edge of the food, it was hidden in the food. Also, there are no staples in the food packaging, so I'm not sure how it even got in there. This is an extremely dangerous food safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately.

    Tried their spicy wings for the first time. Pretty much wing dings size. There was a kick to the wings. Not going to lie, I actually liked it a lot lol dip with their white sauce, it was really good. Since they changed their packaging, they have been way better. Portion wise too.

    Combo rice platter with side of pita and fries
    Erin O.

    My new go-to halal joint in the Fenway area! I recently ordered takeout from here and was super happy with the experience - not only were the prices reasonable, but the portions were massive. I ordered the combo rice platter with a side of pita and fries. The meat, veggies, and sauces in the platter were delicious. The flavors meshed together very well. The rice tasted a bit different than some other halal places I've been to in the past, but it was still tasty. The pita was nice and fresh and the fries were absolutely perfect. Everything was super filling and satisfying! Highly recommend if you're looking for some easy, tasty takeout.

    What I Ordered: Chicken over Rice Platter * chicken was on the drier side Kofta Kebab over Rice Platter * chicken was well seasoned, has a meatball texture, and had a very slight spice Falafel over Rice Platter * falafel was dry and hard Combo over Rice Chicken and Lamb * lamb had a meatball texture * overall very delicious and filling 9/10

    Food: I got the salad platter with chicken & lamb. It was rather bland in flavor, all I could taste is diluted white sauce which should be more creamy, tangy, and garlicky. They did put a good amount of chicken and taste rather tender, but ediable at best. The lamb wasn't as gamey which isn't bad but I didn't nearly had the same amount as I did with the chicken. Service: The service was fine, they made sure I got everything I wanted in my salad. There's muiltiple team-members helping you out in the stations so pay attention to where your food is going as each section moves. Ambiance:It was during a rush after a concert ended so it was a bit chaotic, it's small and def gives off the vibe of when you're out and hungry, this is the place to grab a quick bite. Location accommodation: They have a limited ourdoor seating and there barely side parking as this is near a college so theres quite amount of people traffic passing by.

    I am not AT ALL happy with this place. And you just keep taking money with NO CONSEQUENCE HORRIBLE! Your buy one get one free ...is a lure to get people to buy. My Pita bread didn't arrive.either that was a disappoint. You've guys screwed up so many orders and I've given so many chance but this is it. My Uber order arrived a bit earlier than expected The plates were warm at best. I ordered your shops bottle of hot sauce for 7.99. Instead ...you guys send me that little dot of hot sauce. Again HORRIBLE! I don't know what it is I don't care what it is I'll NEVER order from here again. You guys are horrible at following instructions. HORRIBLE!

    Chicken over Rice Platter
    Caroline S.

    Delicious food hidden in plain sight. I think I've eaten here every week this past month lol. It delivers consistently tasty food, has quick service, and is the definition of bang for your buck. Let the food speak for itself and go to Shah's. gogogo.

    Chicken over salad
    Yo H.

    I have ordered chicken over salad, i requested no tomatoes but it had tomatoes. No fork came with the food. The chicken is very spicy and that wasnot explained that it comes spicy as a default. I would not buy from them again. And do not recommend them to anyone.

    Chicken over Rice Platter
    Amal A.

    The food here is so good!! Ordering delivery can sometimes be hit or miss, but it's usually a hit! On a few occasions they've given me too little chicken or barely any sauce, but that is not the case all the time. The food is good enough that I'll be a repeat customer always.

However, it's close to Boston Common and the public garden so there's things to do to while you wait. The owner and staff are super nice and friendly. They're cognizant that people wait a long time to eat at their establishment and treat you with kindness when you're inside. It is very cramped and the tables are close together, but the rustic feeling makes it a great place to catch up with 1 or 2 friends. There's a wide variety of breakfast/brunch items, so there's something on the menu for everyone. The kitchen also is good about substitutions. Additionally, the portions are reasonable for the price, especially for the area. Most entrees come with a salad, which was a fun surprise. I got the Signature Scramble and liked the variety in the dish. The eggs did have caramelized onions, which I picked out, but there was a good amount of sauce and flavor on the plate. This place has been on my Boston brunch bucket list, so I'm glad that I've gone. I'd recommend this place to people who appreciate a good meal, but wouldn't take people who are impatient or claustrophobic.

We ordered the cheese topokki (soft rice cake, fish cake, vegetable, & mozzarella in Korean spicy sauce) & the beef bulgogi bowl (fried marinated beef, vegetables, steamed rice & side of soup). The cheese topokki was just as good as we remembered - chewy, flavorful, comforting, & a little bit weird. The cheese was poorly distributed, but it was still very tasty. The beef bulgogi bowl was really underwhelming. Firstly, it was very little food. We were promised vegetables, but there were only a few scarce onions & zucchini pieces mixed in. It was also dry. It was devoid of moisture & sauce, so we added some from the fridge at home. The side of soup was a joke. It filled only about 2/3 of the container & looked so sad, we wondered if it was the sauce that we we so desperately needed. Nope, just a meager amount of watered down miso soup. So the conclusion - great topokki, sub-par bulgogi, non-existent soup.

But was really delicious!

    I do think much of the experience depends on if you are seated upstairs or downstairs here…read more Unfortunately for me, I was seated downstairs which took a big hit on the service front. I came here for lunch and ordered the foul al-shams, chicken vegetable stew, and a side of rice. Unfortunately the stew appeared without chicken and foul al-shams was so delayed that we told them to cancel it. The chicken vegetable stew was piping hot and full of flavor. The shredded chicken was tender and the stew did not feel too heavy to feel bogged down. The bread that came with it was also big and crisp but still soft inside. Together the two made a complementary meal that was satisfying. Despite how hard it was to track down our waiter, we still enjoyed the part of the meal we had. The upstairs definitely feels like the waiters are more on top of it and there is a more airy ambiance. The downstairs wasnt the most ideal and while good for big groups, youre still very aware of dining in a basement.
