Quick info
About SHAHID'S
SHAHID'S is a halal restaurant in Leicester, at 45 Rolleston St, with HMC certification for its halal food. The menu centres on the chop cob, a lamb chop served in a cob, so the lamb comes as a hand-held meal. Lamb chop burgers sit alongside it for anyone who wants the same meat in a different bun. Samosas and a range of sweet and savoury pastries cover the lighter side of the counter. The restaurant has moved from its older site to a new shop, and the Rolleston St address is where it now trades.

“I'm going to give a low rating as there's no way to find the opening hours of this place. Those in the know, know. The rest of us have to guess 😕 I've heard good things about the food here, so was keen to try it out. I'll update if I ever manage to try the food here”

“Great selection of HMC certified halal pastries. Both sweet and savoury available. From bread rolls to their beloved samosas (that usually finish within a few hour of opening). Open as usual, parking is difficult unless you have one person mind the car while another goes in to shop. Some industrial traffic may block the road occasionally.”

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are about access and manner. One reviewer gave a low rating because opening hours are hard to find, noting that those in the know know and everyone else has to guess. Another says the shop is closed on Mondays and misses an older staff member who gave good service, and a third says the staff were rude and they weren't treated as a customer. One reviewer adds that parking is difficult and nearby industrial traffic can block the road.
