Shah's Halal Food Albany Reviews
Just picked up some food. The staff were very nice and quick. Good tasting food too.
Always a pleasure eating here, great service. Always fresh and delicious. One of the best halal spots in town.
I ordered beef burger from their that was veey good and tasty. The staff was very professional and food was tasty .
Absolutely amazing experience. I ordered from Shah's Halal in Albany through DoorDash and even though the order arrived late, the experience ended up being incredible. I called the restaurant and the guy I spoke to was genuinely kind and respectful. I asked for some extra white sauce and they didn't just add a little - they hooked it up generously. The food itself was unreal. Easily some of the best halal food I've had. The flavors were on point, portions were great but I thought portions of chicken could have been a bit more. The food was flavorful The chicken was slightly chewy, which I think was due to the delivery taking longer than expected rather than the cooking itself. Also they even threw in extra pita bread for no reason, which honestly made my night. You can tell they care about customers. Great food, great people, and real hospitality. I'll definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend.
The staff at Shah’s Halal are truly amazing! Even when I call over the phone to place an order, they do such a great job—always polite, professional, and making sure everything is right. They’re friendly, consistent, and really know how to take care of their customers. I love the experience every time, and their I love the experience every time, and between the great service and delicious food, Shah’s Halal always stands out.
I really enjoy the combo over rice at Shah’s Halal Food. The mix of chicken and gyro is flavorful, tender, and cooked just right. The rice is fresh, and the sauces add the perfect balance of creaminess and spice. The serving size is big enough to share or enjoy on your own, and the quality is always consistent. It’s my go-to order whenever I visit.
Shah’s Halal is so good! The chicken over rice is my favorite—flavorful, filling, and always consistent. The portions are big, prices are fair, and the staff is super nice. Definitely one of the best spots when you want something quick but delicious.
Shah’s Halal Food has really good chicken over rice. The food is fresh and tasty, and the portions are filling. The flavors are balanced, and the sauces make it even better. It's definitely a solid spot if you’re craving halal food.
Food was very good and the staff was very friendly, cool and professional. Chicken over rice was excellent and good price. Mainly the morning shift employees are very cool
Albany, hold onto your hats! Finding a truly exceptional Halal spot in Upstate NY can feel like searching for a unicorn, but let me tell you, Shas Halal is a shimmering oasis in the desert. For the uninitiated, "Halal" isn't just about the absence of pork; it signifies meat from animals raised naturally and prepared with a specific, humane bleeding method. Shas Halal doesn't just offer food; they assemble a vibrant masterpiece in a bowl. Picture this: succulent lamb mingling with tender chicken, piled high over fragrant rice. Now, imagine loading that canvas with crisp lettuce, earthy zucchini, juicy tomatoes, hearty chickpeas, and creamy hummus. The grand finale? A generous drizzle of cool tzatziki (their "white sauce"), a zing of cilantro chutney ("green sauce"), and a fiery kick from their red sauce. This isn't just a meal; it's a flavor explosion, a towering testament to deliciousness, all for a steal at $13! Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Immaculate flavors that dance on your palate. Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal and lightning quick. Atmosphere: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spotlessly clean, though the space is small and cozy. Across multiple visits, Shas Halal consistently delivers, earning a resounding 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only whispers holding it back from a perfect score? A parking situation that can be a headache, a couple of uncomfortable encounters with panhandlers inside, and limited seating that leans towards a quick grab-and-go experience (though this is typical for many Halal spots). Despite these minor drawbacks, Shas Halal is a must-try. Go experience this Upstate NY gem for yourself!
I ordered the wings with fries and the chicken was undercooked and 90% fat. The fries were good, I guess, but very disappointed overall. DO BETTER!
I ordered here many times and always it's tasteless, not delicious at all. Saggy oily & warm temperature food. I gave them many opportunities now i'll never comeback Insha Allah.
Not sure why this location employs staff like this. We had a Buy One Get One Uber order but were charged full price. When we asked in person, the employees were rude, careless, and completely dismissive, repeatedly telling us they “don’t care” and to talk to Uber. Other locations are great, but this store consistently has issues with unprofessional staff. Very disappointing.
The worst, tasteless and stale mix over rice Shah’s I’ve ever eaten is definitely far from the taste of Long Island New York. Those who want to throw their money away can go directly to this address…
Shah’s Halal has been my go to for chicken over rice, but I had such a disappointing experience at this location. The chicken was not only extremely dry but also not fully cooked through, which made it unpleasant and concerning to eat. On top of that, the beans were straight from the can and not even strained properly, leaving them watery and unappetizing. For the price they charged ($13 a platter!!!), the food quality just wasn’t there. Definitely not worth it and I wouldn’t go back here.
