“He smiles because he has one of the best lamb over rice platters I've tasted in NYC.”
“Got the lamb over rice and was really above most other places, besides maybe Halal guys in Manhattan, but for the price it really was delicious.”

WARNING: As much as I loveeeee this place – Do not visit when the normal older guy is off, or on vacation. This summer, a younger lad took over the stand for a few months while the regular guy was away in India and I've never been more sad about Halal. This filler guy was so cheap with the food – it was just sad. He gave maybe half the portion of what the normal guy gives. But anyway..
I love this particular Shah's Halal so damn much. Briarwood Van Wyck is definitely not the train station I hop off at to go home, but I intentionally haul my butt off the train at this stop just for Shah's. I don't know his name (which I really should), but I've never had such generous portions, EVER. Trust me when I say generous. If your regular Halal guy is generous, this guy is like Santa. But generosity won't win me over if the food isn't good. Flavor wise, this cart also wins hands down. From the rice, to the lamb, to the chicken, to the kofta, to the white sauce. Only thing I wish he could improve on is the spiciness of the hot sauce. It just isn't hot enough.
$6 for a lamb and chicken over rice, LOADED + a soda. You can also ask for pita on top and he would cut it up for you and put it over your already loaded platter of rice and meat.
