Halal eatery with gyros, rice platters, falafel & cheesesteaks
"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
"Opening Friday, February 7 at 1124 Boylston St. in Fenway, Shah’s Halal began life as a food cart in Richmond Hill, Queens in 2005 and opened its first restaurant in 2016; it has since grown to more than a dozen U.S. restaurants and one in London, and each location is certified halal by the Halal Food Council U.S.A. The Fenway spot will occupy a space formerly home to Crazy Dough’s Pizza." - Eater Staff
"Opening Friday, February 7 at 1124 Boylston St. in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood next to Berklee College of Music, this New York City–based halal restaurant chain began as a food cart in Richmond Hill, Queens in 2005 and opened its first restaurant in 2016; it has since expanded to more food carts, more than a dozen restaurants in the United States, and one restaurant in London, with each location certified halal by the Halal Food Council U.S.A. The menus at Shah’s New York and London locations include gyros; rice dishes featuring chicken, falafel, kofta, fish, and lamb; hummus; and Philly cheesesteaks, and the restaurants’ recipes are derived from family recipes. Owner Khalid Mashriqi said they are bringing the same authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and competitive price point to Boston, and the Fenway spot will occupy the former Crazy Dough’s Pizza outpost at that address." - Terrence Doyle
"Soon to open at 1124 Boylston St., steps from Berklee College of Music, I learned that Shah's Halal will occupy the former Crazy Dough’s Pizza space and hopes to open in the next several weeks once city permitting and the buildout are finished. What began as a Queens food cart in 2005 and opened its first permanent restaurant in 2016 has expanded to ten permanent New York locations and multiple carts, and Boston (along with a forthcoming London restaurant after a London cart launched late last year) will be its first locations outside New York. The restaurants are certified halal by the Halal Food Council U.S.A., and the Boston menu will mirror the New York menu—gyros; rice dishes with chicken, falafel, kofta, fish, and lamb; hummus; and even Philly cheesesteaks. Owner Khalid Mashriqi said, “Halal food is booming everywhere,” noting that all of Shah’s recipes are family recipes and that the food is designed to cater to everyone, which he believes explains the interest in Boston." - Terrence Doyle
