I am obsessed with this place! Everything is always fresh, perfectly seasoned and the staff in Orange, CT is awesome!! You pick which platter you want them add in all the goodies and you get a TON of food for the price. $12 for a protein packed meal? HECK YEAH! Ps. Get the white sauce (I ask for extra) & red hot sauce for your platter and the green sauce with the potatoes! You won't regret it!!! read more

Shah's Halal Food - Chicken over rice - Halal Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

Shah's is a weeknight takeout staple for our household. Their portion sizes are good value, so it's convenient to order 2-3 entrees for dinner + lunch the next day. Our go to order is the combo plate (chicken + gyro), and I appreciate that you can add black beans and chickpeas/hummus for a little extra protein. There are often promotions available for delivery on UberEats, but if you choose to go in person, they have ample free parking and quick service! read more

One of my favorite go-to options when I'm feeling a bit lazy is falafel! Whether it's falafel in a pita or over rice, I enjoy it all. The falafel in pita especially reminds me of the ones from that food truck in NYC, but I love that I can get it without having to drive all the way to New York! I usually order through a delivery app, but I've also done a few in-person pickups, which is nice too. The staff is friendly, and the service is super quick! read more

This is the spotttt! Bằng for your buck as they say, flavor packed and loaded plate. Falafel over rice, all the sauces, white, green, bbq and hot!! That hot sauce is forreal hot but I love how juicy and sauced up the platter is. The falafel is mouth watering and moist. read more

Shah's Halal Food - Falafel over Rice - Halal Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

There is a Halal food truck in Manhattan that I absolutely love, but unfortunately, they are too far. I finally decided to try this place because I was craving a combo plate. They definitely didn't disappoint. The lamb and the chicken were seasoned to perfection, the rice had a great texture, I like mine spicy, but it wasn't overbearing. The white sauce, the green sauce and the barbecue all came together very well. I'm sure their gyros are delicious and I wouldn't mind trying one in the future. It's a very quick service establishment, but they don't lack in quality or flavor. No seating or limited seats (I forgot). But ample parking outside. The young lady at the service counter was very hospitable. It's nice knowing I don't have to wait until I'm in Manhattan for a mixed plate. read more

Shah's Halal Food - Lamb over Rice - Halal Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

Delicious "fast food" Halal... In short, I loved it! Halal food is all food that is considered to be lawful and permitted according to the Islamic faith. The type of animal, health of animal, and slaughtering practices are strictly controlled. It's about a lifestyle! This actually makes for better tasting meat and better tasting meals overall. I love the simple concise menu consisting of gyros, sanwhiches, several platters and salads. I ordered a salad in which u pick a protein *I love lamb and then you choose what veggies you want plus a sauce. With only a few veggie selections,I didn't expect this to be as good as it was. My sauce was the green chili chutney. It was delicious and filling! Then I went for the 6pc hot wings. Super crispy and flavorful! It's new, so it's clean and hopefully stays that way. There is only Small seating area. Customer service is great! I loved that I was able to see the menu and order online. So convenient! This is actually a chain restaurant, so the consistency of food and service should stay the same. And the prices are right. A great value for what you get. I see the potential for this to become a regular place of mine!!! read more

Highly recommend this place! They're in a little strip mall so you can find lots of parking outside. Place is really neat and clean. The service was really great - thank you to the lovely Indian lady whose name starts with an A - sorry! I had the combo platter which has chicken and lamb on really delicious rice. I really liked the rice a lot - it had lots of flavor. Then you can choose black beans, grilled onions, and salads, and chickpeas. They put a lot of their delicious white sauce on top. This sauce is like a ranch dressing with mayo. Yum. You also get a green sour sauce and a red really spicy sauce with it. There's lots of really clean seating. It was nicely air conditioned on a really hot day. They also have Philly cheesesteaks and gyros. You can read about how they started in Queens. Really excellent! read more

This is a great spot. I was able to snag a BOGO deal for their chicken platter and lamb gyro. Both HIT and I'll be keeping an eye out for this place from now on. I ordered to New Haven (Wooster) and the items were still hot. They packaged everything so amazingly. The white sauce is glamorous and huge. The mango chutney is so tasty you should be ready to have it on everything. Red sauce was solid. BBQ sauce tastes like McDonald's in a good way. It's sweet, so use sparingly. I'm hype to go back to SHAH's. It's the best quality gyro ive had since moving to new haven from the DC area. read more

Stop, drop and get here!!! This is the halal version of Subway but totally next level. The food is fast, fresh and extremely flavorful. When you walk in you choose your meal from the menu overhead. Then it's prepared fresh in front of your eyes. They make gyro sandwiches, platters of your choice of meat or fish with rice and sides with their signature creamy garlicky sauce. (Yes the bottled it!!! It's that good) reminds me of my late nights in NYC at the food trucks. But again.. sooo much better. I had the combo plate which consisted of gyro meat and spiced chicken over rice with pickled red onions and peppers and salad. It's a crave worthy taste. If you've never tried halal food. You're missing out.. but let this be your first experience because the bar will be set very high in flavor. read more

So glad we spotted this place! The food was amazing and the portions were generous. We split a beef chapli kebab & chips over rice and hummus with pita, served nice and warm. The flavors were spot-on and we liked the chips (round seasoned fries) so much we got an order to go. The restaurant was a bit sterile, but very clean. The only down side was the TV playing loud Mexican music videos, which seemed at odds with a middle eastern restaurant. read more

The worker behind the counter today Thursday May 26, 2022 was very rude and I'm pretty sure he's the manager. I will never come back here. This place is so unfriendly I could not believe it. The worker couldn't even act like he was welcoming us, he looked and acted annoyed with all of us. He wanted us in and out. The portions he gave me were so small too, I almost wanted to walk out right there at that point, and he made me pay just to have a normal amount that I got the last time I came! He was pressuring my friends and I, he was not being clear, it was extremely unsatisfying coming here.... I will not be back. read more

Good stuff. Pretty much a carbon copy of what you'd get from one of NYC's better halal carts, with some additional toppings that you don't usually see like chickpeas and sautéed veggies, and a clean, spacious seating area, which is a nice change from trying to find a public bench. The only reason I've knocked off a star is because they're not quiiite at the level of, say, the legendary King of Falafel cart at 53rd and Park, or Mido's on 6th Ave, but they're pretty darned solid and they satisfied my halal fix. read more

Really tasty, and great bogo deals on Uber eats. Just make sure to pass on the "bbq sauce " option, or at least get it on the side. I thought maybe it was going to be a different style/flavor of like "halal bbq" (i.e. Korean bbq, or Mongolian bbq) but this is just regular sweet bbq sauce, imo that flavor doesn't go with a gyro AT ALL. Everything else tasted good and was a good bargain. read more

Service was amazing, place was clean and food look very fresh. Not too expensive and the food is good. I got the lamb and chicken and they both was fresh and taste good. read more

Get lunch from here all the time & it is always delicious. Excellent food for low prices.

Coworker raves about the location in Winsted. Didn't have the same experience at the one in Orange/Milord where ever it was. Had the combo chicken/lamb platter. Tasted decent for the like 6 pieces of meat in it. Maybe I just had a terrible service. read more

Good but always forgets my sauce and side orders and they only do uber eats who do not give refunds never answer the phone so will not order from there again read more

The food is great. Ordering is like at Chipotle's where you choose a bowl or on a pita, choose your protein or falafel, fillings and toppings. The gyros are great. Try mixing the lamb with the chicken. And get the white sauce on top. Also do not skip on ordering french fries. They are larger and crisp. Even when delivered the fries stay crisp. I usually won't eat cold fries but their fries hold up well when cold as well if you have leftovers. Service is pleasant and efficient. There are a few tables inside. The place is clean and sparse. Shah's foods travels well so it's great to eat there for lunch or take out or order delivery. Food comes out fast. You have a bit of a wait for fries but that's good as it's cooked to order and piping hot. read more

the meat was so red and seasoned so hard that I couldn't eat it at all! I'm highly dissappointed! My dog won't even eat it! This is far from halal food! I eat halal food on a regular and I would never ever ever ever sell this let alone eat it! This is bad and I spent my last $20 on something for myself and my daughter and neither one of us will eat it!! read more

Wow the lamb gyro here is the best I've ever had! The place is super clean the staff is always friendly but the best part is the food ! I discovered the gem last month and have been returning at least 4 times a week for the amazing lamb gyros so good I haven't been able to try anything else there ! I've spoken with other customers there and they rave about there cheese steaks and kofta You will not regret this place If I could give 6 star's they would have it ! Shahs Thanks for bringing this chain restaurant to our area . read more

Yessssss. I went with the chicken platter for my first visit, figure hit it down the fairway. It was so good and the white sauce took it to the next level. I got the falafel as well to try them out, they were ok but not as good as some of the other falafel I get in the area (shame on Chrome or Yelp for flagging falafel as a spelling error btw). The dishes are very filling, plenty of food for two meals probably. I wish there was a little more room for salad so you can make a more rounded meal but all in all it was a great first visit, I'll be coming back for sure. read more

Ordered a couple of gyros: lamb and chicken. Chicken was spicy. Lamb was so moist! Will order again.

Friendly staff & the best fries i've ever had! love the combo over rice with all the toppings & they're generous with the white sauce if you ask :) delicious. read more

Assorted Baklava for a dessert sampler, and Chicken over Rice with channa, peppers and onions. Comes with salad and sauce. The sauces are good, white sauce, green chutney, and a hot sauce. Not in photo was the 2pc fish over rice I ordered. I'm told it's whiting. I had black beans and peppers and onions as well as salad. After shopping on Boston Post Rd it was good to be able to eat when I got home. I have no complaints. They have canned or bottled soda. More non carbonated beverages would be good. read more

I had Lamb over rice with mixed vegetables here. It was my second visit & the food was good. I enjoyed this place twice so far.

As someone who's seemingly eaten her way through every halal cart in NYC, I consider myself quite the snob when it comes to a good chicken over rice platter, and Shah's does not disappoint. The quality and portions are fantastic, the chicken is tender, and the flavor is perfect! It's honestly some of the best chicken over rice I've ever had! read more

The food is great and the staffs are friendly. I would definitely recommend trying out one of their dishes.

Reasonably price, fast no-fuss halal with good portions, great taste and open late! What more can you want? Given everything, I've found myself choosing Shah's over other local halal options in New Haven. That spicy green chutney has me in a chokehold and being able to grab some greasy combos over rice at 12am is a godsend. read more

Good food and reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend it. I bet you won't regret it.

So delicious. Tried for the first time today and absolutely will be a regular here. Coming to CT from NYC, I always missed the occasional meal from the Halal carts. There use to be a Halal Guys in New Haven that shut down and haven't found a place with such great Halal food for years. I'm so glad this place is only a 15 minute drive from us. They're super generous with their portions. Would highly recommend to any fans of Halal food. It's definitely not the healthiest food but is most certainly delicious. Can't wait to have them again. read more

Food is good but service sucks! This is the second time this app says the order is ready but I still end up standing in the store for 10-15 waiting on it!

I ordered online and within a few minutes I was eating falafel over rice that brought a tear of deliciousness to my eye. As I am writing this review I am constantly being pulled away from my keyboard by the allure of the perfectly blended medley of flavors and aromas rising from my plate (who am I kidding, I couldn't wait to put it on a plate - STRAIGHT FROM THE TIN BABY)!! This meal was a breath of fresh air that turned what would've been just another drab night into a truly comforting and mouth-watering experience. Thank you Shah's! read more

Very ordinary food, nothing special about it. But what really motivated me to come to yelp is the fact that the owner asked me to give them 5 stars... read more

First time ordered we got the kofta kebab over rice and added our personalized toppings. It was so good, we ended up coming back the next night for more for the family. I ordered the combo over rice (lamb and chicken) added my toppings, and grabbed a philly cheesesteak Loved it, and the serving size and price is decent. The guys at the counter are friendly and some speak spanish. Did I also mention they are open til 2 am?! Highly recommend!! read more
