Halal Restaurants near Alameda, CA

“I just ordered from here yesterday and today I had to order again me and my husband LOVED IT. When I say the best food I had in a long time. Thank you for your services and good amazing food. It really touched our soul. My new favorite place to eat.“

“Coleslaw is slamming. Sweet tea is delicious and flavorful. Dino rib juicy and tender. Barbecue sauce not too sweet. Perfectly tangy. Potato salad good, cools off your tongue from the hot sausage.

Nasi Goreng, yum.

The line was fun, people are cool. You can have a good time there.

Staff super helpful.

Can't wait to come back for the chicken and the brisket.“

“Best lamb I’ve had. Kids loved it too!!! Our new spot“

“Great pizza, clean dining and conveniently located, I have been a long time customer and I am still satisfied and keep going back

Parking: Next to O'Reilly's Auto Parts. It is a pretty big lot so generally there is ample parking .“

“THE BEST CHICKIN IN INDY“

“Got out of Oakland Zoo and found this place next to a liquor store but the food is deceptively tasteful vs the neighborhood. We order 2 gyros and a lamb bowl. Besides the ample portion, the meats (lamb, steak and chicken) are well marinated and tender. The lamb is not gamy at all. The fries that come with the order are so seasoned such that ketchup would actually ruin it.

Will definitely revisit next time I visit the zoo.“

“Recently stopped by for a weekend lunch and it was delicious! Unfortunately, no pictures of the dish I ate (chicken curry, pacific iced tea) but my friend did snap a few photos of her food (tacos, samosa, and bhajia). The bhajia actually has an interesting story! My friend tried ordering it when we first arrived but we were told that they had run out due to a large order that morning. We ended up ordering our other items and sat at one of their outdoor tables to enjoy our food. Near the end of the meal, one of the owners comes by and offers us an order of bhajia on the house(!) because they ended up having enough for us. It was such a kind gesture and we ended up having a short chat with the owner. Really nice owners and great food - what more can you ask for?!“

“I love this place I used to live right down the street from there. I miss Mike and A.J. My favorite people miss them.“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“This place is a hidden gem. Atmosphere was small and quaint with dine in option. Very clean and comfortable. I had Carne asada with scrambled eggs/cheese. To my surprise tortillas, rice, and beans were included too. Not to mention grilled onions and green peppers. The delicious food was washed down with Mandarin drink. I would definitely stop in again if ever in the area considering the menu was extensive with halal and Mexican options.“

“The food tastes great and at a good price! :)“

“The chicken halal plate from this place is Beyond DELICIOUS! If you like halal food, you won’t be disappointed eating here. It’s pretty good. The block it’s in can be sketchy at times, so practice caution when parking, stay alert and quick purchasing. They also have really good herbs, seasonings and products to purchase.“

“Such a lovely experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with such warmth. The gentleman who helped us was not only kind but clearly passionate about what he does, and we enjoyed a great conversation with him. The food was fantastic—the chicken shish and lamb combo plate was so flavorful and tender, rice so tasty. Don’t leave without trying the baklava and my sister and I will be back for the Turkish tea and coffee; they’re an absolute treat. Thank you!“

“Food is great. Service is prompt. Place is clean. We tried malai boti roll , samosa, and chicken tikka fries. They are generous with chatnis. Chai was lovely. Nutella paratha was a great fusion twist. The Owner is very attentive. Will highly recommend this place if you are visiting Berkeley, you must try this place.“

“Got the 8 pieces of dark meat, and it was surprisingly really good with crispy batter and a little spicy kick. It's even good the day after, reheated in the microwave. Definitely coming back here when I have that fried chicken craving.“

“I recently visited Bab Al-Yemen to enjoy some Yemeni cuisine, but unfortunately, my experience was tainted by an unpleasant incident. The food was actually quite good, especially the rice and grilled chicken, which were well-prepared and flavorful. The ambiance of the restaurant was also nice, although it could be improved in certain areas.

However, I encountered an issue that made the overall experience uncomfortable. There was a large SUV parked in the handicap parking spot outside the restaurant, but it wasn’t displaying the required disabled placard. I pointed this out to a woman who seemed to be involved with the restaurant, and instead of addressing the issue, she began harassing me. Despite leaving the restaurant, she continued her aggressive behavior, which left me feeling upset.

It’s unfortunate that what could have been a pleasant dining experience was overshadowed by this incident. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the situation, as I believe customers should feel safe and respected when they visit.“

“Original. . . there's none like it. . . food is fire or should I say Kamehameha ? curly fries look a little overwhelming but they are on point. Not just another add add Sriracha mayo on everything kind of place. Truthfully original. . . . have order more than 5 times from this place. . . .every time. . .ON POINT!!“

“I was headed to the post office on 13th street when I noticed this kabab restaurant. I thought, I'll stop in on my way back. What a treat, I had the curry lamb with rice. I must say that it has to the best curry sauce that I have ever had. The flavors were bold and rich and the lamb was cooked to perfection. I will most definitely be going back!“

“Try the newest special the Cajun Tropical Wet Burrito! It’s so yummy and amazing! 😋I highly recommend this restaurant. Also, great customer service and quick service. Great quality with great prices! 😉“

“They are DELICIOUS. The marketing/design of the product is great. They even super conscious of the environmentally when it comes to the packaging. Would by again! I got the sauce trio and the sumac. There was a problem in transit with two of the products. Customer service was top notch. Sent replacements right away. Ethical and amazing company.“

“The best food I have had in a long time! Great taste and excellent customer service. A must try !“

“Best food in town. If you love Indian food then you should go and try their authentic Indian food. I am pretty much sure that you won’t be disappointed. I give them 5 out of 5.“

“Good size portions of good food at a good price. Great location too. They will see me again many times. Limited menu, but that’s not a bad thing. Perfect before or after a show or event. Plus they are open late.“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“A community-friendly market and restaurant. Good prices, good food with generous portions and helpful staff.

Vegetarian options: Serving halal and vegetarian food with well stocked refrigerated/ frozen foods and meat counter.“

“These guys opened, a few months later Shake Shack closes. I think it’s fair to say they put them out of business. Everything here is full of flavor, and FAST. I recommend the cheeseburger, have it your way, and the fried chicken. Haven’t tried the Philly yet, but I’m looking forward to it.“

“This place is located in a very inconvenient area however the wrap I ordered from here was very very good and probably one the best wraps I’ve had. I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap which came with a hefty amount of lamb. The other filling was lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and yogurt sauce. Alongside the wrap it comes with hummus and side salad. All the veggies were super fresh and crisp which surprised me! I say surprised because everything else is sitting out on warmers as if you were at Subway ordering a sandwich. Some items looked like they were sitting for awhile and I ordered my food/visitied relatively earlier in the day. That threw me off a bit and I wasn’t expecting much from the wrap but it shocked me. Very tasty and I absolutely would order it again!“

“Best burritos in the bay period end of discussion“

“The people are awesome, the food is awesome, the menu is huge. The only thing I hate about Ike’s is how few locations they have. They need to be everywhere, on every corner, like Subway.

Vegetarian options: I’m not a vegetarian, but they have plenty of options for vegetarians.“

“First time tried their subs. It was very tasty and good quality. Thankful that we have a halal subs close by. Highly recommend.“

“I bought the oyster combo with DoorDash and I absolutely loved the deep fried oysters. The fried breading was very tasty and the oysters tasted like they were cooked just right.

I chose potato salad for the side, I liked it, however, I do not know if they make it fresh.

The combo also comes with a Shasta brand soda, but cola and lemon lime are the only offered flavors.

I definitely want to order from here again.“

“Great food and lots of outdoor seating“

“Our kids really wanna try food here as they have seen the menu and pictures. Finally we manage to go on her birthday to celebrate with family and friends . We had Mango lassi, pani puri , samosa, chicken Momo, Briyani, paneer lababda, muglai chicken, butter naan, butter chicken,jeera rice ,Chicken Briyani, tres lache cake and lal Mohan with ice cream . Of course gentlemen had wine 🍷 too.All the food were yummy , desent portion . I was expecting 8 pieces of Momo but it was only 5. Shout out to Briyani . It was yummy . Do visit this place . I bet you won’t regret.“

“I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A REQUEST THAT YOU NEED MORE VARIETY ON THE SIDE SAUCE. WHY NOT AVE SIDES OF NASHVILLE HOT SAUCE? THE ORANGE DIPPING SAUCE YOU OFFER IS PLAIN AND BOOOORING. THE SLIDER WAS DELICIOUS BUT SURE WISH I COULD HAVE POURED SOME OF THAT DARK RED OILY NASHVILLE SAUCE THAT SOME OTHER HOT CHICKEN JOINTS OFFER. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE THE SEASONING YOU PUT ON THE CHICKEN AND BLEND IT WITH OIL! NO BRAINER DAVE...

Parking: THEY GIVE FREE CAR WASH WHILE WAITING“

“One of the best halal Middle Eastern food spots I've ever tried! The flavors were incredible authentic, rich, and perfectly balanced. The grilled meats were juicy and tender, the rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the hummus was unbelievably smooth. The service was friendly and made the experience even better. If you're looking for amazing halal food, this place should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!“

“Gave Dave’s hot chicken a try after a long time and didn’t expect it to be up to par compared to when the location first opened but they beat all expectations.Our host made it feel like we’ve known her for a while, was really nice and accommodating.The food was fresh ,hot and didn’t take no longer then 10 minutes even though they were pretty busy. Our Host, Leslie, recommended to try the chicken with honey and it’s a MUST TRY !“

“I had the chicken Tika Masala Burrito, it is one of the best meals I’ve had in the Bay. Don’t sleep on this place, if you don’t like it then you are a hater. I’d fly all the way back to California from Chicago just to have that burrito again.“

“Excellent food. The lamb shashlik was delicious. Also the large, varied platter of appetizers. We were there on a Sunday at noon and there were not many others at that time, so there was hardly any noise which was good for me. I will definitely return to try other dishes, or maybe have the lamb again . . . . Highly recommend.“
