A great place to get a great meal Shah's Halal Food in Manassas is tucked beside Harris Teeter off Prince William Parkway. The chain began in 2005 as a single food cart in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York. According to a sign on the wall of the restaurant, it was launched by a family determined to serve authentic, halal street food made from their family recipes. That lone cart exploded in popularity, leading to the first brick-and-mortar store in 2016 and rapid franchising. As of late 2025, Shah's now has over 120 locations across the U.S. This particular spot is small--very limited seating, just a few chairs. It looks like most people grab and go. Inside, it's spotless and the staff is genuinely warm and welcoming. The assembly-line setup lets you watch everything happen: pick your protein (chicken, lamb, combo), point to toppings, and decide how much of that famous white sauce and hot sauce you dare. The portions are massive; one platter or gyro combo easily stretches into two full meals. Most importantly, the food is outstanding. I got the combo (lamb and chicken) with a lot of the white sauce. It was delicious and, like I sad above, I made it into 2 meals with chicken one time and lamb the other time. I highly recommend this place for the food, the price, and the staff. read more

Hefty, good meal. They had the meal made already. The sauce can be pretty spicy. Rice was well cooked. We got the lamb and chicken. It's a quick take out. read more

Someone recommended this spot on our community page so we decided to give it a try. And it was AMAZING! Why did we wait this long to try it????

We actually got all the sauces except the bbq sauce. The price is awesome at 10.99 and I was full half way through(my son was more than happy to finish it ) Seriously y'all need to try this place out! read more

I thought this place was really good! The portions are a decent size and you can tell them exactly what you want or don't want included. I got the combo, which includes chicken and lamb, and got all the toppings. The ratio was pretty good and everything tasted great. I did notice that the chicken was a liiiiiitle spicy, but I am weak when it comes to spiciness. My husband got just the lamb one and he loved it as well. There was no line to order when we went and were greeted when we walked in. The place was also super clean. read more

The service was very good when I went. The man behind the counter was attentive and he was very sweet. It's more a takeout restaurant rather than a sit down. The food was delicious! Think - food you get in New York like the halal guys. It's very similar. The food was delicious and the portions are great. The green sauce is by far the best. Unfortunately the hummus and the pita are rather pitiful, so I don't recommend that. Overall delicious! read more

Generous amounts of meat on the plates and the gyros. The gentlemen working there was super friendly. Ambiance was mid, a random place I wouldn't really eat at, I would and plan on taking it home every time. Must get the white sauce, it's delectable. They even sell it in large bottles. The red sauce is quite spicy so be aware... I got "2 lines" and it was plenty. I will return. read more

I like this kind of food but I've had better in Manassas. The portion was fine but the lamb over rice dish I got was drowning in sauce. Couldn't taste the food itself. read more

Great place to go for quick and delicious food with generous portions. My wife is a huge fan of the chicken and I love it all! Make sure to get plenty of red sauce if you like good spice. Nice spot to go for consistently good food and very friendly service. read more

Food - 4.5/5 Service - N/A Ambiance - N/A Great chicken & lamb over rice. Delicious and the sauces aren't too overpowering. This was a DoorDash order. read more

Shah's Halal Food - Combo Lamb and Chicken over Rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Amazing food! Great ambiance. Big portions. Excellent service. A lot of choice to pick.

Ordered the Combo over rice which includes lamb, chicken, and beef. There are options for spice level. I went with the regular spice. The portion is large- for comparison, it's bigger than a Chipotle bowl serving. I haven't had halal in many years, but this was delicious and better than I ever remembered. If you're hungry and looking for something different, you can't go wrong with the combo bowl. read more

I love the customer service and food. The prices are affordable for me. They are quick and patient while you decode on what you would like order. read more

Love this place . Can't get enough of it. Love the chicken over rice. The only thing wrong was the size of my chicken sandwich was huge on the first experience. When I went back the second and third time the sandwiches were much smaller. read more

Shah's Halal Food - It was good food tbh we were enjoying that I would love to come here every single day and im so happy for that - Mediterranean Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Customer service sucks and the food was cold. Nickel and dime you for sauces - like WTF ?

Ordered from this place 2x, both times the food was cold and mediocre. I'd ordered the chicken over rice, and the combo over rice, with a side of the chips (fries), and falafel. First time ordering assumed that it was just new-restaurant issues. Second time ordering proved it's just the lack of quality in the food itself. read more

This is the BEST food in the close area. You get high-quality cheap mostly organic product that tastes out of this world. I would recommend the lamb gyro with hummus. They always stack your gyro read more

I stood in lind for 15 minutes at 11pm on a Friday night. No one took my order while taking multiple orders. I feel discriminated against because I am African American. As a man in stalwar kameez was taken care of right away, I immediately knew what was going on. I live in the community and will never be back... read more

I just had the best midnight snack I had in a while the rice was amazing. The chicken wings were awesome. The sauce is amazing. I would recommend this place to anybody read more

I don't usually give reviews, but I feel like it's necessary for this one. The food itself isn't bad at all. but this is the second time I find hair in my food. the first time I was super hungry it was late at night when I first saw it I was grossed out a bit but like I said I was hungry and I ate it. So yesterday I decided to give it a second try and there it was again pieces of hair in the food and that was it for me I just threw that crap away. yall need to put some hair nets or something. Cause damn that's nasty. Other than that I won't be coming back. read more

Just discovered this place a week ago and I've already ordered three times and got my husband and cousin hooked. We all get the combo over rice and it's absolutely delicious. Also a huge amount of food so it makes two or three meals for me. read more

I did online order for fish gyro and the fish was so small on the gyro more of the salad then fish as it was supposed to be a fish gyro. The quality and quantity no quite what I expected from this restaurant. read more

these people are racist against black people. they allow the n word used in their restaurant. they are very rude to black people. they ignored me when i approached the counter and threw my food together at tge last minute. the food was cold and it ended up making my sick. i will never come there again but i will make sure to let everyone know!!!! read more

Love this place. My father told me to try and I was glad I did. They are always very welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious and the portions are big. I love the lamb platter and get to choose all the things i like. Love the green sauce and the white sauce together. Have recommended to others and they love it too. read more

Heard great things about this new restaurant so we did a Uber order yesterday. OMG! So good! Ordered the lamb and chicken combo over rice with green sauce and white sauce. Arrived on time, well packaged and hot. Will definitely go again, but I think I'll just do lamb as the chicken is a bit spicy and I'm not a spice girl. The lamb and chicken were cooked perfectly. read more
