"kids rice tray ~ this was a perfectly portioned tray. There was enough for sharing as well! Tasty and delicious with a great flavor + a perfect price point. We got the chicken which was pleasantly hot for my dinner guest if you really like hot food. Personally for me, I'm not a hot & spicy food person. The flavors were fantastic though. I would order this again if the "flame" could be dialed down for my palette. kids pita pocket tray ~ Very delicious, well prepared, great portion size, pleasing to the eyes and smelled fantastic! junior bowl ~ I ordered mine over Romaine lettuce. Another triumph for this establishment. I am grateful that I was able to sample all 3 dishes. They did not disappoint in any way. A heartfelt thanks to the owners and staff for a great meal!"
"This is, and I kid you not, the BEST rice bowl I have ever had. The portion was LARGE, the vegetables were FRESH, the sauces were perfectly complimentary and the steak pieces were deliciously seasoned and perfectly cooked. 10/10 would order again - it's pricey but VERY worth the price."

"Everything was delicious! The Lamb Shawarma ( شوارما لحم ), the Yemeni bread ( خبز ) -HUGE- so so good. Perfectly cooked. The shafut ( شفوت يمني )was so delicious and fresh and light. And the Fatteh with Dates ( فتة بالتمر )was the perfect dessert. Will definitely eat here again. Great customer service. Really remarkable food! Thank you so much! "
"Wouldn't get it again. The Lamb Shawarma ( شوارما لحم ) was on the smaller side, but tasted ok. The veggies were fresh but the meat was bland and small for $15. The Yemeni bread ( خبز ) was huge, around the size of a small pizza, but lacked flavor and was a little burnt."

"The lamb over rice, and the chicken over rice is excellent! Big enough to share with two people! Recommend the Taziki sauce, I always get extra! I actually get the lamb and rice and have it for lunch and then bring it home for dinner too. I work in Hampton once a week and I always order from delicious deli everything there is always great and fresh! Top notch deli! I lived in New York for 20 years and it's not always easy to find a good deli here in Virginia. I definitely recommend this one."
"Went to Delicious Deli in Hampton on Commander Shepard blvd. Across from McDonald’s and next to the citgo gas station. I believe this place used to be Chris’s cafe or something like that. It was a breakfast spot not too long ago. Ever since I had Halal Guys in Northern Va. I’ve been looking for a good bowl. I got the lamb and chicken bowl from here and was pleasantly surprised. I’ve have a couple others in the area and they were a letdown. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the lamb was delicious. With fresh veggies and rice and you can’t forget that white sauce. I also got a side of hot sauce and it added a nice kick. If you’re not a spicy person stay away from the hot sauce because it’ll make sure you’re awake. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth. If halal bowls aren’t your thing they also do breakfast, breakfast sandwiches, subs and other stuff. — at Delicious Deli Hampton ."

"Finally got the opportunity to try this place after many recommendations from co-workers and I ended up getting the Combo Chicken and Lamb Over Rice with onion, green peppers ,lettuce, tomatoes, white sauce . Absolutely awesome chicken that while flavorful and heartily portioned isn't overcooked and delicious lamb that is both tender and crispy on the edges, I also couldn't begin to tell you what the sauce is that is put on top of everything but I'd tell you I'd certainly get more of it as it's got a delicious tang similar to a yogurt sauce and when mixed with the rice and lamb/chicken mix it creates a flavor bomb in a fork full. Bit pricer than similar alternatives but certainly like the portion and flavor better than anything I've gotten from Chipotle or the likes! Would definitely recommend the combo to get a bit of everything and look forward to trying other items!"
"S & A Finest Deli never lets me down. Every time I order, I know I’m getting my money’s worth... big portions, great prices, and food that’s always hot and fresh. My go-to is the Lamb and Chicken over rice with White sauce. The mix of flavors is straight-up heaven. If you’re craving something delicious and satisfying, this spot is a must-try."

"This was my first order. I was so excited when the order came because it looked like what my Granny taught me how to make (on a cast iron wood burning stove) & she was a mountain woman from the Appalachian Trail. It tasted like home cooking. I loved the Collards, Fried Okra, Fish Tacos, tartar sauce, pico de gallo, Clam strips & even the Chicken tenders! The portions were huge! I ordered the Hushpuppies as well. I'm not used to sweet Hushpuppies with corn inside. My homemade hushpuppies are savory, no sugar. The texture was on point, cooked perfectly & the inside was light & fluffy. Like I said, I'm used to savory. That my preference! My order was on time, hot, delicious & brought back a wonderful childhood memory! I didn't need a salt shaker or any other seasonings! Thank you Seafood Shack for a delicious dinner. I will be ordering from Seafood Shack often. I look forward to trying everything you have on your menu. OH, the Whiting in my fish tacos were grilled! Juicy & delicious!"
"The breading is thin so you don't get a lot of extra carbs and oil. Fresh flavor. I would have preferred if the Catfish N shrimp dinner had thicker fillets but there were plenty of them. Shrimp was good. My husband and I love the Hushpuppies* with the corn in them. We got the cole slaw and potato salad and they were good."

"salads were good. pretty straight forward deli fair. good amount of all the ingredients of the Avocado Cobb Salad . I hate when you get a salad with just a tiny bit of bacon or blue cheese. I would have liked more avocado. 1/2 size salad was HUGE! the lasagna soup was so good...like lasagna in a cup and very meaty. they packaged everything well and included utensils. I liked the bonus of the rolls. one thing that might be a door dash issue- when ordering I had to go into each item and uncheck the box for premium items. I don't know what would have happened if I left it checked without selecting anything but that needs to be fixed."
