Excellent halal spot in the neighborhood, right off of Lark St. Fast and friendly service! We each got a platter, one with lamb and one with falafel. I loved having the "choose your own' toppings and appreciated the heavy sauce serving. Great flavors!

Best halal spot in Albany! I regularly order chicken over rice, and the food is always delicious. Today, there was a mix-up with my order, but their customer service was exceptional—they quickly corrected it and delivered the right order immediately. Highly recommend!

Literally the best and most affordable. I’ve tried other halal places and taste wise and price wise shah’s halal is the best. Everything on their menu is delicious and a good price range.

Shah’s Halal is so good! The chicken over rice is my favorite—flavorful, filling, and always consistent. The portions are big, prices are fair, and the staff is super nice. Definitely one of the best spots when you want something quick but delicious.

I really enjoy the combo over rice at Shah’s Halal Food. The mix of chicken and gyro is flavorful, tender, and cooked just right. The rice is fresh, and the sauces add the perfect balance of creaminess and spice. The serving size is big enough...Read More

Great chicken over rice platter, just like the city. Comes with choice of salad and sauces, not too pricey and enough food for two people. Workers blasting music though lol, what can we expect, its Albany!
