Chicken over Rice
Latifa H.

We got chicken and rice from here to go and the protein portions were generous. The chicken tasted a little bland and had quite a bit of food coloring but the rice tasted really good and so did the sauce. One container was very filling so it lasted me about 1.5 meals. The service was super quick and I didn't have to wait too long after placing the order.

We don't have many halal food carts/spots where I live, so I was thrilled to find Shah's Halal Food on a recent trip to DC. I had a fish gyro which was amazing, and I ate it quickly and forgot to take a picture. They do fry the fish fresh, so if you order a fish and rice bowl or a fish gyro, it takes a few extra minutes, but it is worth it. It's hot, crispy, and the gyro is filled with fish in every bite. Get some extra white sauce on the side to put your meal over the top. My husband and I both ate for under $30, so Shah's is great if you're on a budget. Plenty of seating inside as well.

Great Halal restaurant (that originated in NYC maybe from a food truck) with gyros for $9 and plates/platters for $11 - meats to choose from include chicken, beef, fish and lamb, and they have great sauces like white, green and red. Wide assortment of beverages available as well. Great and prompt service (they make the food live in front of you) and spacious atmosphere with stairs leading up to the counter and tables/chairs all around. Highly recommended!

Combo over Rice (Lamb & Chicken)
Celina G.

I honestly miss the Halal Guys in this spot, but this is a decent replacement. I got my usual order, a combo platter featuring chicken and lamb. I thought the lamb was more flavorful than the chicken, so maybe I would just get all lamb next time. Plenty of rice and white sauce on top and three streaks of green sauce, which wasn't too spicy at all. Just like Halal Guys, Shah's packs plenty of food into the tray. I had enough for two meals! Pretty clean on the inside of the restaurant. Service was nice.

Food was cold, flavorless, and service was almost non existent. Felt awkward inside. I even asked the guy making the food if he warmed up the pita and he said he did so he definitely lied. The white sauce tasted like ranch. Definitely won't be returning.

Chicken over Rice

Shah's is the best thing known to man. I love it so much. If I had to pick one meal to eat for the rest of my life it would be chicken over rice with everything and extra white sauce.

An Italian sandwich the size of Texas... sign me up!…read more I went into this market when I was exploring Georgetown one day and I naively ordered an Italian sandwich and once they received it I realized it was big enough to feed a family. I found the cutest little park bench and decided to dig in. Needless to say I had left overs but I could have found a way to eat this whole sandwich because it was that good! Every topping was homemade and you could tell. Def a must stop in DC.

I'm a bit torn on this one…read more I stumbled across Stachowski's while looking for a unique local spot for lunch. The sandwiches looked epic and the photos of the place looked adorable for a local joint. We walked over from our hotel in Georgetown and were overwhelmed by the sandwich choices. Caught between the Grinder and the Pastrami, we went with the employee's suggestion for the latter. About 5 minutes later we were handed a wrapped sandwich the size of a football. We found a quiet spot to unwrap and enjoy it and dug in. Frankly, I wouldn't order it again, and I think we would have enjoyed the grinder more. It was just a huge pile of meat on pumpernickel bread with mustard. Flavor was meh. Neither of us was overwhelmed for nearly $25. Props for the cute European goods in the shop, though, and the employees were courteous and friendly. But next time I'll look elsewhere for lunch.

There is metered street parking and commercial lots/garages within a reasonable walking distance from here. They serve wraps, salads, and cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered the Korean Steak Sandwich. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare my sandwich. They should use a number system for order pickups because people, including myself, had difficulty determining which order they were serving. Many of the sandwich names sounded alike. My sandwich was kind of small for the price, and it wasn't very filling. It was, however, very good. It was flavorful and packed with flavor. The service was ok. It was nothing special. They did their job and did not go beyond or be overly friendly. All in all, I would recommend checking this deli out for some really good sandwiches. They really do live up to their name, the Best Sandwich Place.

People fishing for compliments is the worst right??? But RESTAURANTS fishing for compliments?…read more Perfection, apparently. I was in the neighborhood for a couple days for work and this shop was only two blocks away. Two things I love- a good sub and a short walk - so it's automatic for me. As long as you're ok dropping $25 on lunch, don't miss this place. Honestly you can probably make this a two part lunch/dinner portion anyway. The subs are big. The toppings are plenty. The bread is perfect. They have my favorite like of drinks, Just Iced Tea, and even Utz Salt and Pepper chips. The music is good but unfortunately no one around to give you any flash art tattoos which seems like a missed opportunity given their decor.

If you love sandwiches like me then this is the shop for you…read more Hands down one of the best sandwich shops around. Exceptional service and even more exceptional is the food. Everything is fresh. The bread is from Cardinal Bakery (bonus). They have several popular and unique sandwiches like The Crunchy Boi. Usually split one with the boyfriend. It's turkey, provolone, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo (we get it on the side) and potato chips. Wow-wee get in my belly goodness! One bite and you're hooked. For real. Get your sammy fix on!

I returned nearly after a year and happy to see improvements in packaging. Love foil wrapping because it does not leak and holds the sandwiches better. It's extra work back so I hope they are being compensated for it cuz the sandwiches cost the same. Don't change that.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it
