I occasionally order a healthy meal here when there are no church or other feeding programs open for a hot takeaway dinner. All their menu choices are reasonably priced, with big portions, and always ready within five to seven minutes for pickup. Before the pandemic when you could go inside and eat at a table like a civilized person instead of in the car, the employees are uniformly professional courteous, and helpful. All around good value and pleasant to deal with.
Have always had a great experience in the past but today I went in and there was a girl named Anna who worked there. She was extremely rude from the start and did not even greet me after I greeted her very nicely and with a smile. I asked for extra lettuce because that was all I was getting on top and she said I have to charge you 50 cents for that. I never had anyone else say that to me even in other locations including Hauppauge the only time they ever charge extra is for extra white sauce packet which that makes sense. She again rolled her eyes and ignored my question when I asked if they charge extra for card because I would pay cash if that was the case. She kept louder and louder yelling “cash or card”? I am very disappointed with this service.
I seen SHAH’S HALAL on Saturday, and knew I had to stop in to try it.. today I made that stop and it definitely was not a mistake nor my last visit..The Service was excellent, the place and staff was spotless clean, and more importantly..the food was AMAZING!I had the lamb over rice platter with white sauce and I loved it...I’ll definitely be back here very soon.. ( knowing me, probably either the weekend or next week ).GREAT JOB GUYS! THANK YOU! ✊
Wow the food is straight gas.. I had the chicken over rice and combo over rice. Price is reasonable and won’t break the bank. 10/10 for flavor. Tastes fresh. Not many places serve fresh food around here anymore.I ordered through door dash but I called in for extra sauce and guy on phone was super friendly. My new go to place! Recommend 100%
Best value for your money with decent quality. Portions are large and usually last more than one meal. There is fairly good variety for this type of establishment. If you like hot and spicy, the hot sauce is great. I intend to purchase a bottle if they still have them for sale next time Im in. I hope they keep up the good work.
Shahs Halal is a staple in Queens and Long Island and Im so glad they came out here as well!The chicken over rice with white sauce is something I always get and am always excited for! If you havent tried this out youre definitely missing out. I have recommended it to my friends as well and none of them have disagreed with me.The service is nice as well and very welcoming. Didnt get a chance to sit in because of the pandemic but was able to get takeaway and didnt wait at all. They prepare the food right in front of you.
My son and I tried this recently and we both were a bit underwhelmed. The food was surprisingly bland despite the intense color of the meat. The chicken was so vivid in hue I was expecting a burst of flavor and spice that simply was not there. Overall, our meals seemed like the packaged Thomasbagels or mall food court version of authentic ethnic food. The sauce was lacking in intense flavor and watery. That said, it wasnt unpalatable; were willing to give it another try because it is still a step above the standard fast food options.
Rude preparer/cashier. I went for Chicken over Rice, stood on the order line area, someone else came to the register and the worker started with him first. I said I was here first, she said 1 minute. I told her I dont want anymore and went to the chipotle couple blocks away. Rude customer service.
📍 Shah’s Halal Food1767 Old Country Rd, Riverhead, NY 11901A family brand established in 2005. What had started in Queens, New York as a humble mobile food cart serving halal food opened its first brick and mortar location on Long Island. It quickly grew to a thriving chain of national and international fast, casual restaurants where 100 percent certified halal food is served daily, made with love and their family recipes in their USDA approved facility.Review:⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️(3 out of 5 stars)I’ve been to many other shahs halal location, this one in Riverhead is by far the best. It’s decent food at an affordable price 💰 It’s really clean, spacious, food is fresh, and staff are really friendly 😊 Jose and Jamshaid made sure everything was good 💯 The ambiance and how clean the restaurant is one thing to note 🧼 I came with family and was going to do take out, but I ended up staying and eating. If you ever near the area or shopping 🛍 at Tanger outlets, check it out. Dinning in is until 10pm. There aren’t that many halal spots out east so this one is a game changer. They do take out too and are open late. I hope the restaurant stays consistent in the food quality. Usually, at other shahs the white sauce is watered down or the chicken doesn’t have much flavor. You will get full. The food is fast and to me It’s decent. Lastly, don’t forget to say Bismillah and Alhamdulilah for everything. Follow me on Instagram @AliThehalalfoodie
Came in with my EMT partner to grab a quick bite to eat. I was met by the owner and surprised to know that he is a registered nurse and works at a hospital we frequently go to in Queens. He wished us a happy EMS week and gave us a free plater after finding out we werent going to receive one fo the 50 platers he donated to Peconic Bay Medical Center. A total class act. I was even more surprised at how great the chicken over rice was. I will surely be coming back and recommend you try this food out for yourself!

2022-04-28You wanna eat good? This is your place, chicken, lamb and rice is great, if you like the taste of the food trucks scattered about further in the city, you can get it here. don’t know why you would go to a halal place for burgers and wings but if you do they won’t let you down in that department either, staff is cool, red and white sauce are good. Red sauce is sometimes super hot and sometimes it’s hot, ranges from 7/10 -11/10 on the pain scale and for fans of Mexican cuisine the kafta here tastes like longaniza. No attitude from the staff and food does it’s job exceptionally. Bathroom is broken pretty often but they’re selling rice and liquid pain, can you blame them? Prices are good too

2021-06-12Tastes so good. Great price. Def loaded it up with goodies for $7.99 u cant go wrong. Friendly staff too. Little off with english but not in a bad way just hard to understand the dude behind the register but all good. This pic is a gyro combo (chicken n lamb) with hot sauce. Worth the try i got 2.
