I’m getting settled in to my new position here at Syracuse University, and with a new job and a new work environment comes new places to eat! Cue The Halal Shack!
LOCATION: 303 UNIVERSITY PL, SYRACUSE, NY 13210
SCHINE STUDENT CENTER
Of course, I’ve eaten at The Halal Guys back in New York City as well as Chicago, so I was pretty excited to find The Halal Shack here right in the same building as my new desk. Of course, this isn’t the same franchise, but close is close enough, no complaints here - at least not until I give The Halal Shack a shot!
I had to do a build your our rice bowl of course, and I decided to go with chicken today along with chickpeas, lettuce, red onions, cucumbers, mozzarella cheese, and the halal classic white sauce. This is a pretty standard bowl for me with everything that I want and nothing extra (sorry tomatoes but you don’t quite make the cut) and I wasn’t disappointed.
I can’t say that this is a good as The Halal Guys but this isn’t a bad substitute for a college campus in central New York. I’m excited to go back and try a few other protein combos - I don’t know that chicken hits for me every time - but I think the rice bowl is my order and I’m super pumped that this meal is a stone throw away from my office. Things are looking up here in Syracuse!
