Honestly… I enjoy the freshness of everything- and I never feel yucky after eating here. The portions are plenty for me and the service is so fast because the line is always so long but they get through it beautifully!

Favorite spot on SDSU campus! Many vegetarian, vegan, halal meal combinations you can get. I’m vegan so a Falafel salad bowl is my go to. Staff are always friendly and helpful, including the student workers.

There is not enough time or words on this planet that can adequality praise Halal Shack. The dinning experience is nothing less than spiritual, may I say religious. In a world of darkness, pain, and misery the Shack is my refuge. My life hangs off of Halal Shack like the Shawarma hangs on the rotating stick. To say the least, the atmosphere is extraordinarily comforting. The perfectly simple basmati rice is delectably seasoned, and perfectly complements your choice of protein. The sauce and sumac finishers bring it all together into a perfect equilibrium, much like God's perfectly chaotic universe. The whole experience, the buildup as you wait in line, the experimentation with different ingredients, the final hurrah as the flavors overwhelm your mouth, it is a near sexual experience. The staff are experts, guides in this incredible experience. They are the deliverers of my holy communion, priests ordained by the highest authority. We are not worthy of Halal Shack, yet the Shack does not judge, it invites those of all backgrounds. The shack dwells in Babylon; Panda Express, Rubios, Subway, Shakesmart, Baba's Pizza, and Jamal's Chicken tempt those who have not been Enlighted. Yet others and myself have seen through their lies, hacked through the jungle that blocks our path to destiny. Halal Shake, thank you with all my heart.

I love the food here; it’s always been a bit pricey, but lately it’s gone way overboard. The portions are a joke… they shake the spoon just to give you less protein. And worst of all, they told me that starting today, double chicken is only 3 scoops, not 4 like it’s always been. But the price? That one they don’t change. What a scam.
I won’t lie, I did enjoy my last bowl from this place, but for what they charge and what they give, I’d rather eat somewhere else on campus that doesn’t feel like a rip-off.

This is my absolute favorite place to eat after a long day always healthy and super clean! The staff are so nice and friendly. I asked for extra protein and they happily added it.

The food is okay, but every good option is an extra charge.

Confusing food system, and the staff rush like its a conveyor belt. I get it's busy, but even when its slow they seem agitated if you ask a question. Kind of short and abrupt, they seem a bit anxious.

There are better places to eat at SDSU than this. At the end of the day it's $20 for a bowl of rice, with a handful of meat chunks tossed in.

Flavors are pretty good. Portions on the smaller side.

Within SDSU’s dining hall, the staff is so friendly and helpful with picking options on their open bar. Great service makes me want to go here more!
