Halal Restaurants near Orange, CT

“Absolutely love this restaurant! The staff is super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Santana helps pick the BEST dishes!! The environment is cozy, chill, and relaxing — it’s just a place to go when you want some good food and a calm night! Now the FOOD is FIVE STARS!! Never had an issue and I’ve been here many, many times. Always cooked to perfection. The dessert is yummy and their special coffee is the best I’ve ever had… If you have never been, don’t walk, but run… (:“

“Whenever I am in town I always make sure to get falafel over rice from here at least once. Its so yummy, saucy and optional spicy. Definitely try rice platter i would say. There are plenty seating available too for dine in. Staff is sometimes rude and non welcoming but not too bad.“

“I can’t recommend this place highly enough. I used to get Halal Guys on the green in New Haven for years and was so disappointed when it closed. I’d say Shah’s is even better and more authentic to the “Halal food truck” roots. A combo plate is enough for two meals. Definitely a go-to spot.“

“Today was my first time trying Shah Food, and I ended up going back twice in the same day. I tried the chicken burger first, and within two hours I was back for the hot wings. Their spicy sauce is really good. I grew up eating spicy food, so I can handle heat, and theirs has flavor and a kick.

The chicken and meat taste very fresh, not rubbery at all, and the bun on the burger was crispy in the best way. I’m already looking forward to trying the gyro next. Exam week has me hungry, and Shah Food is definitely becoming my go-to comfort spot.

Staff is very nice. Their shop is clean as well.

Highly recommend!“

“This is the best (if not only) place in the New Haven, CT area to get authentic Levantine food, including / especially toum. Eating here brings me back to past vacations in Lebanon and the incredible food and company I enjoyed there; for those that prefer other cuisines, this place has you covered as well! Pizza, pasta, the full gamut of Mediterranean food!“

“AMAZING VEGAN SUBS AND PASTA DISHES.“

“My husband and I ordered online and were pleasantly surprised by both the price and how great the food was! The service was excellent as well. We had to call to add a few items to our order, and the person who answered was friendly and very helpful. Overall, a great experience—we will definitely be returning customers!“

“I love Dave’s hot chicken! Specially this location, employees are so welcoming and environment is amazing! Especially James. His attitude is inviting and awesome! Thank you guys for making going out to eat with the family a great experience!“

“Lamb over rice is delicious, highly recommend this halal food, it is family ran and operated. Thank you to Rosie and her family!“

“AMAZING ! BEST SPOT IN TOWN !

I’m traveling for work so I have to eat out everyday, I’ve found my go to place ! I’ve tried like 8 things on the menu.

1. The Gyro, very good, very filling & worth every cent ! Ask for extra white sauce.

2. Mixed over rice ! Probably the best thing on the menu next to the chicken wings. Truly is just gas !!!

3. Hot wings, juicy, crispy, flavorful ! WORTH EVERY CENT !

4. 2 piece Fish, pretty good, not my favorite but isn’t a disappointment at all.

5. Seafood salad, BEST SIDE !!

6. Cheeseburger is hella good too, worth the $6, I’ve got that twice.

SO OVERALL, mixed over rice, hot wings, or gyro over pita are my highest recommendations !

Oh, & the salad is good too !

Next time I’m gonna try the butter chicken

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly atmosphere, nice outside dining area“

“Everything was well when i got the food until i arrived back to work to eat and i noticed a small hair in my food. Took it out and put it behind something white so it’s easier to see (placed in the center of photo vertically). I was check NO: 45 and the time was 1/27/2026 1:27pm on the receipt. I often see hair in homecooked meals from my family so this isnt really a big deal for me but i still feel like its important to mention that this did in fact happen. I hope they make sure that this dosent happen again. I really liked the food and would want to eat again worry free.“

“We tried the new North Haven location. The food was absolutely delicious! We had their monthly special “ispycherrypie” which is lemon chicken!! Soo good, highly recommend!!“
