Halal Restaurants near Middletown, CT

“Last week, while I was in London for work, I stopped by Shah’s Halal Food. I usually avoid fast food or shawarma spots because of my strict diet, but I chose this place for two reasons: they serve halal food, and during a snowstorm it was the closest option available. I’m really glad I did it turned out to be a great experience. I ordered the Chicken Salad Bowl with grilled chicken chunks, cucumbers, lettuce, chickpeas, hummus, and a variety of flavorful sauces. It was perfect for my no-carb diet and everything was fresh, tasty, and very satisfying. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a halal, nutritious, and budget-friendly meal. The staff were also incredibly polite and welcoming.“

“There’s something about Main Street in Middletown that I really enjoy. On any given day it has this eclectic, culturally diverse vibe that makes it feel alive. Tibetan restaurants. Vegan spots. Italian. Mexican. Coffee shops and pastry counters.

On this particular day the sun was out, the sidewalks were busy, and people from all walks of life were strolling the street. It’s the kind of place where you can just sit for a bit, soak it all in, and watch the world go by.

Today we decided to stop into a new place: Middletown Halal Grill & Pizza.

We tried two pies: a classic cheese and a Philly cheesesteak pizza.

Both were excellent.

Everything started with a really flavorful crust. Nice balance of crisp on the outside with just the right amount of chew inside. The sauce was well balanced too. Not overly sweet, not acidic, just a nicely seasoned tomato sauce that let the other flavors shine.

The cheese pizza was simple and well executed. Cheese evenly distributed and melted perfectly, giving that smooth, creamy texture you want in a good slice.

The Philly pizza used the same base and added shaved steak, peppers, and onions. Great combination. No single ingredient trying to steal the show. Everything worked together.

They also offered a side of house-made tzatziki sauce for the Philly.

Now I know what you’re thinking… putting a cold white sauce on hot pizza can get you some funny looks. But trust me on this one. It worked. The tzatziki was made in-house, light, refreshing, and added a cool contrast to the rich steak and cheese.

Bonus points: the dough is made fresh daily.

The place itself is a cool little spot. Nothing fancy. Very unassuming. But sometimes those are the best places. A perfect stop to grab a pie, sit for a bit, people watch on Main Street, or catch up with friends over good food.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which always makes the experience better.

They offer a variety of other items too, wings, grinders, and more. Everything on the menu is Halal, meaning no pork. And honestly, that’s fine by me. This time I stuck with the pizzas, but next time I’m definitely going to try some of their Halal meats.

Solid pizza. Friendly people. Great Main Street vibe.

I’ll definitely be back“

“Food was very good! Indian is one of my favorites!“

“Very tasty food specially Chicken over Rice“

“The employees are so nice and welcoming. The food was so good!! I got the lamb and chicken combo over rice with white sauce and red sauce. The portions are generous and the food is flavorful. The fries, tomato, and cucumber complement the platter very well. Would definitely order from here again!“

“Came here for the first time last night. The man behind the counter was so kind and friendly! We spoke about the shop and after hearing it was my first time he gave me a free hummus to try. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! Hands down best Mediterranean in the area. I will be back!“

“Went here with my husband and sons and we loved it. My older son ordered chicken and waffles but the waffle was a bit too hard. Me and my husband’s burgers were great and the milkshakes were soooooo great! I’m definitely going to go back and give them another chance.“
