Chicken platter was amazing. Best halal around imo. Friendly service too!! Located in a gas station with some gambling machines so not the best atmosphere for dining in, but it was clean and the food is so worth it.

I am Lebanese and am very hard to impress when it comes to shawarma. All the places I have tried have never come close to the Shawarma in Lebanon- except for Halal Maestro. They have EXCEEDED the Lebanese shawarma. I am beyond impressed and blown away at the quality and taste of the food. Our first time visiting the owner brought us so many complimentary sides and dishes to try with the shawarma. The generosity, cleanliness, taste, and atmosphere truly makes me want to visit every single day. They opened about a month ago, and this is our 7th visit so far. Halal Maestro is a family owned business that I am so proud to support and am happy to recommend to all my loved ones. RVA has been missing out on a place like this for a long time.
