Shah's Halal Food — Restaurant in Mount Pocono

A Hidden Culinary Gem Worth Finding

I’m so glad I discovered this spot! I visited yesterday, and it exceeded all my expectations. The location is brand new, immaculately clean, and serves up food that’s fresh and flavorful. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted, setting the tone for a great experience.

Having tried Shah’s in New York before, I was already familiar with their offerings, but this location truly impressed me. The setup is food-bar style, where you can customize your meal with whatever toppings you’re craving. I went with the lamb and chicken over rice, adding a vibrant mix of salad, chickpeas, hummus, and assorted vegetables. If you've never had it, don't feel intimidated. Everything is delicious!

The sauces stole the show: the creamy white sauce was indulgent, the hot sauce packed a satisfying punch, and the green sauce added a refreshing, zesty touch. I also ordered a gyro, and it was just as satisfying.

This place didn’t just meet my expectations—it surpassed them. I’ll definitely be...

I had eaten nothing else all day except for my normal breakfast at home. The next morning i threw up 5 times and had diarhea all morning afternoon and night. I called them twice but they didnt care. I wanted nothing but to warn them. They first said the manager wasnt there which was a lie. Why would they lie about that!!?!?!? When i spoke to the manager Maria she was defensive. I told them something was wrong with either the food ,or some kind of contamination was happening. They said i couldn't prove that....I wasnt trying to ''prove' it . I mean how could i? And why would they even say that!!!!! I was trying to warn them so they would not lose business. Sadly they lost mine. They need to review their preparation or how they keep things warm at the right temp or something. i'm sad i have to leave this review, and...

let me set the scene: me (jill), matt, and jake walk into this unassuming halal spot, just expecting a quick bite. what we got instead… was a divine experience wrapped in foil.

then enters KD. a man. a myth. possibly a magician. instantly welcoming, with the confidence of someone who knows his food is borderline illegal in how good it tastes. he handed us our plates like he was passing down ancient treasure—and then came the white sauce.

listen. this sauce? suspicious. it’s too good. like, “what did you put in this and do i need to talk to someone about it” good. smooth, creamy, just the right amount of tang, and somehow made everything on the plate taste 4x better. matt literally said, “there’s no way this is FDA approved.” we kept dipping everything into it. the rice, the meat, jake’s fingers. it made us weird. we’re still...
