Middle Eastern Restaurants near Newark, DE

“Unequivocally, the best halal food you can get here! Their white sauce, that you can buy hand-made by the bottle, is the best we’ve tasted at a halal store/food-truck/cart. If you like middle eastern food, even a little bit, or kids that just likes French fries, don’t hesitate to order from here! The food, flavors, portion-size, and price can’t be beat. They encouraged us to customize the food any way we wanted! So, also great for picky kids.

The kitchen & store was/is impeccably clean. The staff are so nice! When you enter, the staff instantly treats you like habibi—it feels like being welcomed into a home, and they truly care about you!

Our party remarked both at how incredibly reasonable the price was and how amazing the food was. My brother pointed out that when I took my first bite, my eyes literally go wide & lit up. Our party kept remarking on how good the meal was for the rest of our day.

I ordered the chicken gyro w/ fries and customized it with Tika chicken. We also got the tilapia gyro, falafel gyro, and onion rings & mozzarella sticks (both come with white sauce, instead of marinara, which we were hesitant, until trying). We went back and got a bottle of white sauce to use at home for everything.

The flavor had uncountable amounts of flavors and was perfectly cooked & spiced; no ingredient or spice overpowered another, but you can taste them all. The french fries are also always the perfect crispiness, that somehow only the best truly authentic middle eastern/halal shops, can get them to be.

Absolutely incredible! All the money is put towards the food and cleanliness with the semi-open kitchen.

The portion size for a single gyro is huge! Everyone in our group exclaimed how much food each of us got! It was large enough that most could only eat about half and was able to reheat the rest. So 2 meals, for ~$13. Absolutely nothing compares!

I can’t recommend them enough; go enjoy your meal!“

“We decided to check out Shah's because it's conveniently close and has extended hours. Let me tell you, it was an excellent choice! From the moment we walked in, the service was impressively fast, and the staff greeted us with warm smiles that instantly made us feel welcome. The environment was spotless, setting the perfect stage for an enjoyable meal.

Now, let's talk about the food—absolutely delicious! We ordered the chicken over rice, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Each bite was juicy and packed with flavor. The trio of sauces—red, white, and green—complements the dish beautifully, and if you’re a fan of spice, you’re in for a treat! I can't believe I didn’t think to ask for extra white sauce, chickpeas, and pita to elevate my dinner even more. Next time, I’ll definitely keep that in mind!“

“Had the gyros from here a few times and their always on point. The pita is always so fluffy. Maybe gyros don't traditionally come with fries but at this place I'm glad they do because their always the perfect amount of crispy. Even better than the food is the service - always happy (or good at faking it), always attentive, the food comes out fast, and I love to sip their tea while I wait. I haven't branched out from the gyros but maybe next time that I'm back!“

“My family's favorite!! Just about every Monday we pick up gyros for dinner and they are always amazing, fast, and fresh!“
