“I went to a Friendsgiving Saturday November 15, 2025 and everyone that was invited had to bring catering. And let me tell you, man did I I hit a home run with Shah’s Halal Food! 💯🗣️😋 the food was delicious and it was gone within an hour lol I ordered chicken, lamb, rice and veggies the very same day and the manager was caught off guard when I told him that I needed within a couple of hours lol the manager and his staff very friendly and professional, even gave me extra sauces and gave me a free soda 👍🏽👌🏽 I truly thank these guys and would recommend them to anyone for any catering service, thanks again Shah’s Halal, until next time 🤛🏽👊🏽“

“Walking into this hole-in-the-wall eatery is like a warm hug. You are engulfed not only by the anticipated flavors of the food, but a tangible vibration that tinges of love. The aromas begin wafting your senses as you approach the entrance. We are partial to the lamb options, however the menu also includes fish and chicken. You have the choice to pair your protein with their signature orange rice with beans, or fresh baked clay oven bread. Non-meat options include falafel, grape leaves, baba ganouch, selection of salads and the creamiest hummus I have ever encountered. Soup is made fresh to accompany whichever entrée you choose. Hot sweet tea with milk or without sits reliably on the table for your self-serve. There is a busy first floor eating area for convenience, however, a 2nd floor space provides a calm quiet experience for those who are willing to climb. For the quick takeout at midnight, the lamb wrap is a filling go-to for under $10. Don’t be the one to miss out on this Baltimore diamond-in-the-rough.“

“Amazing falafel. Don’t sleep on the mint lemonade. Friendly staff. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.“

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!“

“Amazing Lunch at The Halal Guys!

I had a fantastic lunch at The Halal Guys. I ordered the chicken platter, chicken wings, and the baklava cheesecake, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the desserts were the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

What really stood out was the exceptional service provided by Ahmed. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure my experience was enjoyable from start to finish.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful halal options with top-notch service! I’ll definitely be returning soon.“
