Pros: From the moment we walked in the man working there was so nice and friendly. We ordered our food and we ordered chicken wings and fries which were freshly made and tasted delicious! I recommend one line of the red sauce if you don't want alot of spice. The wings were sweet chili and Chipotle BBQ which were delicious and just the right amount of spice. 1 order of fries is enough for two people to share. I love this place and I will come again. Cons: Bathroom and general eating area needs cleaned. read more

This is definitely the place you go if you want halal food late nite. This is basically a hala guys type of spot The hot sauce was the best thing 5/5 I don't think I have tasted a better hot sauce at these type of spots Fries :3/5 they give a lot for the money . they are more like thick potatoes wedges than fries. You are definitely going to need something drink to wash them down. Lamb and rice 3/5 decent amt of food for the price. It's lil bit than halal guys but I would give halal guys version a 2.5 /5 Cheeseburger 2/5. Overpriced . The best thing I. It was the pickles. 2.5 out of 5 overall..if you need halal food late nite check the out! read more

Because they're located in Oakland they keep late hours for the college kids. Most nights they don't close until 2 a.m. That was always a bonus for us when we'd want their food later in the evening. Most times we'd walk over from Bloomfield. Sometimes not. Everything I've ever had was freshly made with the best ingredients. I love the chicken and rice platter. My boyfriend always got a gyro. They also have things like burgers, fries, and cheesesteak but I've never tried. Always fast & friendly service. read more

I love the chicken & rice w white sauce but all their food is soo good! I always order online and the pickup is super fast.

Takeout from Shah's was delicious. I was not expecting the hot sauce in the kofta kebab to be as spicy as it was but it was sooo good and flavorful. The rice was excellent too and everything traveled well which was great. I will definitely order from them again! read more

Shahs Halal - Kofta Kabab over Rice - Halal Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

They're open super late which is awesome for a late night snack/meal. Got home late after a football game and was really hungry so ordered with a friend. They have online ordering which is super quick and easy and the food was ready sooner than expected and they sent a message to let me know. The food was pretty good too the only issue was that they didn't label the two platters at all. My friend and I ordered the same platters but with different sauces and there was no indication of which was which and they looked pretty identical. read more

Shahs Halal - Halal Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I gave a try to a nearby late night Mediterranean food on Door Dash not expecting too much, but I was blown away by the attention detail and delicious flavors here. I ordered the chicken kofta rice plate with all the veggies and sauces. One precaution is their spicy sauce is spicy and so this I got one pour less. Otherwise everything was perfect and moist. read more

I ordered the combo over rice (lamb and chicken) with white sauce, and it was pretty delicious. This combo exceeded my expectations! It was fun to eat and very filling too. The fries were fresh and a great accompaniment! I can see why there are so many good reviews... my food was bomb! I look forward to trying out different menu items next time. Thankis Shahs Halah read more

I thought this spot was quite good and satisfying! There aren't a ton of halal places in Pittsburgh, so it's great to have a spot like this. I know this place is technically a chain, but it's not a huge one, and I still was craving some halal food. I've heard great things about the food. I decided to try their signature chicken over rice with the white sauce, as well as BBQ and hot sauce on the side. This meal was absolutely delicious. The portion was quite good, and the price was reasonable as well. The chicken itself was tender and flavorful. It wasn't too spicy, which I also appreciated. There are options to get a ton of vegetables, but I decided to stick with the classic chicken and rice. The rice itself was well cooked, too. I truly loved their white sauce, which was a little creamy. The BBQ and hot sauce were kind of ordinary and not the best. All in all, I really enjoyed this spot. The meat was tasty, the rice was well made, and the sauces were great. It's awesome to have a halal spot near the area. read more

It was a great feeling to visit Pittsburgh over the weekend and find that Shah's opened a location outside the DMV. The Muslim double whammy of Jumuah + Shah's for lunch simply cannot be beat, Alhamdulillah. I will restate what I wrote about their original location too: the food is so delicious and the combination of sauces, veggies, meat, and rice so outstanding that I feel guilty wasting my time and money with Halal Guys. Their food is poor compared to Shah's Halal. This place is awesome and I'm halal jealous of all my Pittsburgh Muslims who now have this excellent addition! read more

Shahs Halal - Combo over Rice (Lamb (Contains Beef) & Chicken) - Halal Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A great place to grab a quick bite to eat that is not just a fast food joint. The food is fresh and made to order right on the spot. My nine year old and I shared a chicken and rice with salad which was delicious. I ordered falafels which were a bit overcooked but we're still tasty just wish they had not cooked so long. My son ordered a side of spicy chicken wings but he said they were not even spicy so he was a bit disappointed. Overall, I would still return when needing to get something late at night when all other restaurants are closed. read more

They're opened really late which is nice, it's very straightforward as far as the taste, I just wished the white sauce was more dill and cucumber tasting. The pita was also very good. read more

Shahs Halal - Chicken over Rice - Halal Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I really enjoyed the gyro. It tasted great and had lots of meat. I gave 4 stars because the meat was cubed. It was a little off putting at first and it made a messy sandwich harder deal with. *****5 Stars for the big piece of baklava. It was worth the price and calories!! read more

Cheap, tasty and good service. I picked up a lamb platter, a combo platter and french fries. Yummy!! They didn't cost more than $23. The staff were nice and generous with the sauces. I just wish they had both white rice for a change and not just brown. But their brown rice is still good.They also let you pick whatever veggies you want (see pictures). Issues: Their falafel is not good to be honest. The service changes sometimes depending on the people and that is why I'm giving four. Parking: It's hard to park in that area. I might go back again because it's cheap and the people are nice. read more

I love this place! Been getting food for more than 2 years and never had a bad meal. In fact the fish here is better than any other fish place. I've ordered the Lamb over Rice, Kofta over Rice, Mixed Meats over Rice and all have been so tasty, moist and delicious. The Kofta is spicy. Choose salad or pepper and onions(my fave) to go with the meat and rice, both are great. The sauces, red, white or green are all good. The white ameliorates the spiciness of the Kofta. I'd love if they offered salads such as Piyaz, dishes such as mujadarrah so that Shahs could be my all complete dining experience! read more

Best food in Oakland. Had the combo chicken and lamb with rice. The white sauce and green sauce is so good. Get the hot sauce. read more

I don't understand why this place has good ratings on help. To call what I ordered a 'gyro', albeit I realize what I ordered was a chicken gyro, is a joke. It was a chicken shawarma at best, and not a good one at that. I've had lots of shawarmas from different places including Lebanese, Turkish, Syrian, Iranian, Israeli, and I don't know what that was they served me... 'Gyros' don't have cumin in the marinade, and should come with tzatziki, not whatever is in that packet labeled 'White Sauce'. The default options for toppings were lettuce and 'salad', which would be okay, but all I got was bright red, overcooked and spicy (?) chicken, dry white meat, with no veg whatsoever beyond the onion cooked with the chicken. Not a gyro, not a shawarma, just a big disappointment read more

Great drunk food because they are open late but in the light of day, they are just okay. I have had mixed experiences here- some are really fast and great and others I felt like the staff was rude and unprepared. Either way, it is relatively cheap and the chicken and rice can last me two meals. read more

Shahs Halal - Falafel over rice - Halal Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Was looking for a place in Oakland that wasn't super packed on a Friday night because we were looking for a quick bite to eat and found Shahs Halal! Ordered Chicken over Rice and Lamb over Rice platters. For the platters, you select your meat, 3 veggies, and a sauce with the option to get extra. Both were good, no frills, halal fast food. Portions are generous, meat was flavorful, and plenty of the sides/sauces. The white sauce reminds me of Halal Guys! We also tried the green sauce which was also good but definitely prefer the white sauce. They were pretty greasy but it is kinda like fast food. It was also really cheap - I don't think we paid more than $20 for both platters. There is outdoor seating available so we are right outside, which is nice with COVID still going on. Would definitely recommend trying this place! read more

This storefront location opened up recently, separate from the street cart usually located near UPMC Presbyterian on Fifth. This location is well placed in south Oakland, and offers a few meal choices, including platters and gyro wraps. You are able to fully customize the platters and add several toppings, including chickpeas, hummus, tomato, peppers and onions. The white sauce is quite good and I would recommend. The fried fish is really good and was cooked fresh for my order. I've also tried the falafel and the chicken platter, which were all good. Meat quality is quite good and food is quick and tasty. This is our favorite restaurant of this style in the area and I would recommend it read more

nice spot for a quick dinner, otherwise location is not clean i just visit there food is also so so

I normally order from them for lunch when I cant leave work to go anywhere (Via GrubHub) There was a glitch in the system and It was marked delivered but it was not delivered. So of course I reported my order as not received the app canceled out my order and refunded me my money. The store owner calls my phone asking why I canceled well sir. I didn't receive my food what else am I suppose to do? He then proceed to tell me no one ever came and got it. I told him I cant leave work to come get it. He then told me to never order from there store again. I know your mad because you lost money but its not my fault that's on grubhub. The Food is amazing but fuck you bro. Don't ever call my phone like that ever. read more

Great choice if you're looking for a late night option in Pittsburgh! Super fast friendly and efficient service

Thank you all for the delicious food Your chicken over rice was delicious Thank you for caring about the buyer.

My experience ordering from this establishment has been nothing short of disappointing. From the very beginning, we noticed we had been delivered the wrong order which is equally their fault as it is the uber eats driver's, so I can't blame them entirely. Alas, we ate the food which was served cold, we were dissatisfied with the texture of the lamb. When we finally received our fries and baklava, the fries were burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside. Despite the baklava's beautiful appearance, the mirage quickly faded as the first bite felt like biting into sand. The flavor was good, but the dryness destroyed its entire appeal. Let it be noted that we were not provided any utensils or napkins and that our original order was never fully replaced. read more

This is a great take out place in Oakland! I'm gluten free and don't have a lot of options and this is my go to! They're chicken over rice is a comfort food for me frequently and their salad items are always fresh and tasty! They have my favorite fries in Oakland too! Highly recommend to everyone! read more

Great prices and good options Friendly staff - personable Taste like a good nyc halal cart And they deliver! read more

My rating is not based on the food but based on the staff. The food was actually really good. I got the lamb & chicken over rice. The two people working in the front were very rude and the one girl didn't know what I was asking for. Then they proceeded to get annoyed with me for something that they should've known. read more

Shahs Halal - Lamb and chicken over rice - Halal Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I probably ate here 6x a week this past semester of college. Fantastic choices, although I learned a few weeks in the lamb is much better than the chicken. Would totally recommend that. Staff is always super friendly and helpful. Only thing I could complain about is sometimes the chicken and sauces can be somewhat inconsistent. They're also frequently out of certain toppings but that's not surprising considering the popularity. read more

I have tried their food now several times and I have never been disappointed!! It is delicious!! My kids who aren't always eager to try new things love it too and it's a lot healthier than your usual convenience foods. The prices are reasonable and it's quick, efficient and friendly service! We enjoy the chicken over rice and the lamb and chicken combo over rice. I always order extra white sauce too because it is so good! Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

If you are a pitt student looking for cheap (ish) and delicious food quick definitely check this place out! I got a chicken & rice platter w chickpeas, lettuce, and cucumbers which was delicious and filling (and a little spicy which I wasn't expecting, but it made it even better!!) My roommate got a falafel gyro which she loved. Def recommend this place for late night delish eats. The online ordering was a little sus though because the website was weird to figure out and it didn't give us a time to pick up our food, but we just waited 15 minutes and our food was ready. Also the white sauce is obviously bomb so get an extra packet! read more
