Lamb gyro, too salty. never again. chicken tikka over rice was SO GOOD and very flavorful. $15.49. would definitely buy again. however the price point is quite high to have so little vegetables. the lettuce is like taco bell lettuce. no onion, no tomato. $2 for a pita. that sounds like robbery at a college campus.

A bang for your buck ! The halal shop is located on SFSU campus and offers quick , affordable , and tasty Indian cuisine. Although it doesn't look like much from the outside (it's just window service) I was pleasantly surprised with my choice of chicken over rice. The chicken had an abundance of flavor and was hot and fresh. I also enjoyed the sauces , they didn't over power the meal. I'll def be back to try the tikka masala over rice.

Food is very delicious and authentic. I don't even go to school, but I am willing to go on campus just for this.

I tried their meat and I bought some middle eastern stuff I love it I highly recommend this store if you wanna try something different

The food here is so good!! And the service is great. I have been missing halal cart in the city and this one but the spot. It's not the same with the yellow rice but they do the salad with the white sauce etc. I got the tikka chicken over rice and highly recommend. wish it was located off campus (I'm not a student so walked on to grab it, it's that good!) and the hours were expanded over the weekend. But I'll take what I can get!

Came here today and felt soo happy that the Halal Shop is back open after more than a year. This is honestly the best place gyros and plates. The most unique and delicious item on here would be the chicken tikka over rice. Its a one of a kind meal and could not be found at any other shop. The white sauce is also super amazing. I will be visiting again!

Wow! I went to SFSU for undergrad and never thought to go here for some strange reason. And now I am back in grad school and was told that this place is great and it absolutely lives up to expectations. I get the chicken tikka masala every time I go and not only is the food hot and delicious, it is also one of the only places on campus that is efficient enough to get through a long line quickly. My plate of food comes with chicken tikka masala, rice, and a small salad and it is only $9.75. How could you not give this place 5 stars?! Great food and great customer service! I wish I could find a place like this near my house because I would eat here all the time.

I haven't been here since last semester, but I'm so glad I came today!! The worker (working alone around 4:15pm) was super friendly and made my Chicken Tikka perfectly!! They have a rewards system, so if you come here frequently you should definitely sign up! I have 7 points so far and I only need 3 more to get the reward (very excited as I come here quite often, I just forget to enter my rewards). I will be coming here more frequently from now on (: Always great quality food at this shop and I highly recommend it to SFSU students or anyone in the area.

We were exploring the Berkeley campus during orientation and came across this Halal Shop food truck. I didn't have any food vouchers because I'm not a student but they were kind enough to offer me a falafel gyro on the house! The falafels were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very well seasoned too. The fresh crunchy vegetables balanced out the falafels perfectly. To top it off, the pita bread was warm and fluffy. Really delicious gyro and generous people!

My favorite place to eat on campus hands down. This is what I would call fast food Indian food but it's worth every penny! I always get the chicken tikka masala with no salad and extra spicy (the spicy sauce is sriracha). And the food includes a drink with the price ($9.75). If you are looking for a place to eat on campus that has full flavor, amazing food with the right amount of kick then look no further than Halal Shop!
