Just went tonight and grabbed 2 chicken platters to go with my fiancé. The employees were wonderful. Beyond kind and personable. The food I don’t have words for. I didn’t take a photo due to being over excited but the portions are more than fair for what you pay. The hot sauce is VERY hot for me personally but I like it. The salata that comes with the entree is so fresh and tasty. The chicken is perfectly cooked - tender and seasoned deliciously. Even the rice is a masterpiece. We also highly recommend the pakora chips! They’re crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the outside, seasoned, and made fresh to order. We were even told by the staff that we were welcome to sit and make ourselves comfortable while we waited for the chips since they are made to order but our food was done so fast we barely had a chance to! We’re not done eating but we’ve already agreed this will be our Saturday night go to. For 2 people getting 2 platters and a side of pakora chips it was just $30. You’d spend more per person getting dinner from any other restaurant around.

Today was my first time at Shah’s Halal Food & it was DELICIOUS!!! The portions & taste are great. I’ll definitely be back.

Finally a place in Chicagoland that does the Halal chicken and rice the right way. I also tried the chop cheese which was authentic out of Brooklyn. This is the only place doing it right in the area. Today was probably my 8th time there since they’ve opened. Great place, keep it up.
*The other new place is all show and no taste or class for that matter.

They were friendly and the service was fast. That was the best burger I’ve had in a long time. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle… 👌🏽 (chefs kiss)

Food is decent and could use some flavor, but despite the polite people , they give terrible guest experience: no water is available unless you pay for it. Once they straight told me that. Next time they didn't have cups. Thats the dumbest excuse I have heard of.
Its not the employees fault: its the franchise. Even the overcharging airport outlets give you the choice of getting not bottled water. This is pathetic: if you buy a bottle, finish it, you have to buy another. I have not recently come across any decent place that does this. This is not guest friendly and certainly not kid friendly

Everything was very fresh and tasted terrific. The portions sizes were appropriate for the price. The staff was above and beyond friendly.

I recently visited Shah Halal at Cypresvägen 4, and my experience was disappointing. The wait time exceeded 30 minutes with no clear queue system, and it was frustrating to see guests who arrived after me being served first. Ultimately, I had to give up without being served.

Had lunch here. Food was meh. They need add a little spice or flavor option to the chicken. Was an ok price for the amount of food.
This has become one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always fresh and flavorful and the portions are huge. The prices are great and the staff is always friendly! I ordered the fish gyro for dinner tonight and it was was amazing! I haven’t had anything here that I don’t like. This is now one of my go to spots. They don’t miss!

What most people are saying is true here. The owner and the workers do not know at all how to provide customer desired sauce. So I gave them a second try and ordered sauce in the side which ended up with one tiny pack of sauce. People are extremely stingy here and does not take customer requests seriously.

Absolutely love the food. The fries are out of this world. So soft and risky at the same time.
