★★★★★ 5.0 NJ 4 Fun · Oct 2025

I stopped by for lunch before the Grand Opening and I ordered the lamb platter, chicken gyro, fries, chicken sandwich, wings, plantains and chicken nuggets. Generous portion for the platter and the gyro, great options for lunch if you’re in the area. First time trying the secret white sauce and I like it a lot. Asha was really helpful with my order. Fast service and good customer service

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Momentum Sayreville · Sep 2025

I recently ordered the Chicken Platter and Chicken Gyro, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The chicken in both dishes was overly watery, which detracted significantly from the overall flavor and texture. It lacked the richness and seasoning that I had hoped for. While the white sauce had a decent taste, it too was watery, making the entire meal less enjoyable. Overall, I was quite disappointed with my order and would not recommend these dishes based on my experience. I hope for better quality in the future.

If you’re in the area this is the place to order your food. There’s also online option to order from. This has been my most satisfied Halal restaurant experience. Clean environment, spacious and nice restaurant design set up. I got chicken and lamb over rice with vegetables combo. It’s an explosion of remarkable taste. Customer service was excellent and their meal comes in good portion too - so you get more for the very affordable price.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ankit Patel · Nov 2025

Really impressed with Shah’s Halal in Parlin! The food is always fresh and flavorful — the chicken and lamb over rice are my go-tos. The sauces are amazing (especially the white sauce), and portions are generous for the price. The staff is super friendly and the place is always clean. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Definitely one of the best halal spots in the area — highly recommend!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 DARREN BLUSTEIN · Nov 2025

I tried a mixed platter. The meat was cold. I had some pieces of fat and grizzle that I had to spit out. I did not like the white sauce. It had a sour or vinegar taste to me. It was almost like creamy Italian dressing meets ranch. I did like wingz and thingz back in the day. This place was not my cup of tea.
