Shah's Halal Food

"This casual chain, which got its start as a food cart in Queens, is a reliable option, especially convenient for Berklee and Northeastern students. The menu features gyros such as lamb, platters such as falafel with rice, sandwiches such as a Philly cheesesteak, and more." - Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Shah’s Halal is opening in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood, adjacent to Berklee College of Music, on February 7, at 1124 Boylston St. Shah’s Halal started as a food cart in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York, in 2005, and expanded into restaurants since 2016, now having over a dozen locations in the U.S. and one in London. Each outlet is certified halal by the Halal Food Council U.S.A. The menu includes gyros, rice dishes with chicken, falafel, kofta, fish, lamb, hummus, and Philly cheesesteaks, based on family recipes. The expansion aims to bring authentic flavors and fresh ingredients to Boston, as well as competitive pricing." - Terrence Doyle

"Shah’s Halal will soon open at 1124 Boylston St., Boston, in a space previously occupied by Crazy Dough’s Pizza, near Berklee College of Music. The restaurant is part of a chain that started as a food cart in Queens, New York, in 2005 and opened its first permanent restaurant in 2016. It has expanded to include 10 permanent locations and several carts in New York, with plans to expand to Boston and London. The restaurants are certified halal by the Halal Food Council U.S.A. The Boston location will feature the same menu as New York, including gyros, rice dishes with chicken, falafel, kofta, fish, lamb, hummus, and Philly cheesesteaks. The recipes are family recipes, and the food caters to everyone." - Terrence Doyle
