Shah’s Halal Food at 159 Colindale Ave, London NW9 5HR, brings authentic New York–style halal street food to North London, offering flavour-packed meals that combine simplicity, freshness, and value. As a reviewer who has explored many halal dining concepts across London, I find this location particularly successful in maintaining both authenticity and consistency—qualities that define a reliable fast-casual experience.
The menu focuses on classics like chicken over rice, lamb gyros, and falafel platters, all served with Shah’s signature white and red sauces. The chicken is tender and well-seasoned, while the lamb is juicy with a satisfying char that gives it depth. The basmati rice is fragrant and cooked perfectly, forming the ideal base for the generous portions. The white sauce adds creamy balance, and the spicy red sauce delivers a bold kick for those who like heat. Quantitatively, I’d rate food quality 9.3/10, portion size 9.5/10, service 9/10, and overall value 9.4/10.

The service is fast and efficient, even during busy hours, and the staff maintain a friendly and accommodating attitude. Cleanliness is another strong point—the kitchen area and dining space are well-kept, reflecting professionalism that’s often overlooked in quick-service restaurants.
