Halal Restaurants near Alameda, CA

“James beard semi finalist and I can tell why. The fusion is so unique and it works. Food sells out fast which is most of the negative reviews because it’s so damn good. Redang plate was amazing and the slaw was ridiculously good. Highly recommend and grab a tasty beer or three next door.“

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

“We usually get delivery, but have eaten at the restaurant a couple of times, and it's been a comfortable experience.

The food, though—the food is soooo good! The pizza is always a good choice, and I often find myself going for the rigatoni pasta with Alfredo sauce and chicken. It's cooked perfectly, and it comes with garlic bread!

The salads are a good size for sharing, and we usually order the Caesar.

They offer halal meat options, which is not a consideration for me, but it's good to see that they are conscious of their customers' needs and preferences.

The people are really nice, too!“

“Just go! There's a parking lot so you won't need to circle to find a spot. The food is INCREDIBLE!
And they have a little hidden oasis in the back where one can eat a crazy good burger & spiced fries.
It's the little things that matter - the special sauce, the sink in the back where we could wash our hands before / after eating, and the incredible service & smiles we received when we walked in. We'll be back anytime we are in the neighborhood!!“

“I just came to this restaurant for lunch and everything was amazing! The food was so delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. What made the experience even better was the customer service. As soon as I walked in, they welcomed me so warmly and made me feel comfortable right away. They were very kind and kept asking if I needed anything, saying they were there to help. It’s rare to find both great food and such excellent hospitality together. Highly recommend this place, and I will definitely come back again!“

“We enjoyed they chapli kebab, I would say this is my favorite spot to get it actually. Great portion for the price! We tried the Mantu and that was our first time ever trying and I could say it was delicious and a great first experience for Mantu.“

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!“

“When I search for a burrito I’m looking for the biggest messiest flavor packed burrito I can find—Casa Maria’s birria burrito had me on the floor. I went back the next day for the shredded chicken and it was quality meat soaked in a delicious sauce. The spicy salsa was thick, spicy, and amazing. They do not skimp here. They are also friendly and clean. Impressed all around. Don’t hesitate, eat here.“

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

“JazakAllah the food was amazing Im going to spread the word please keep doing the good work 🙏“

“The karahi was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and tasted just like homemade food. The saag was fresh, rich, and went so well with the naan. Everything was served hot and the staff was very welcoming too. Definitely a place I’d love to visit again with family and friends. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic desi food!“

“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.“

“Best burger In town! Recommend.“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking into this family owned establishment, The environment was clean, and the people were very kind. The menu was exceptional with great prices. I got the chicken Marcella, the naan, and the salmon which was the daily special. The chicken Masala was perfectly spiced. I got the mild because I can't eat spicy food. I dipped the naan in it and it tasted perfect. The naan was big and fresh and its own separate bag, so I was able to take it home and munch on it later now the salmon was delicious. It was super crispy and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning was complementary to the fish. it was wonderful to be able to talk to the Chef and get to know the people that cooked my food. The chef that's been working there. He's on the establishment for a while and he's been cooking for over 40 years. He also told me that he is from New York, which definitely shows in his food because this Indian Pakistani restaurant is definitely authentic. I will drive an hour and a half to come back here again. Definitely would recommend them for Catering or a nice dinner date.“

“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to Raquel! From the moment I walked in, she was welcoming, friendly, and super patient while I decided what to order. She explained the spice levels clearly and made sure I picked something I’d love.

The food was fresh and delicious, but what really stood out was Raquel’s positive attitude and great customer service. She checked in to make sure everything was good and made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming.

Employees like Raquel are the reason I’ll definitely be coming back. Dave’s Hot Chicken is lucky to have her!“

“Falooda and I must say that it was so rich in taste , flavours & very authentic.“

“Tried it for the first time yesterday. We’ve walked by many times during lunch, thinking it was just another fast food chicken place…..finally gave it a try. It was excellent and staff was friendly. Chicken was fresh and crispy. They have many spice levels to choose from. Medium was plenty hot for me. The chicken tender was great, but the sliders were even better. Totally recommend this place!“

“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! 😉“

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

“I have been having great shopping for my home ,when ever we need afghan food's,they are treading well ,Specially Kaka Taimour he is the coolest person same all ,The food qualities are great ,the price is medium ,I’m a one of regular customer of Marwa grill and go there from San Francesco,god bless them“

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

“Food is good, potential to be great but currently it is extremely greasy and oily (especially the aloo gobhi and baingan bharta). Still, I recommend the spice roasted pineapple, a creative dish. Very comfortable, nice atmosphere and place to sit, and great service.“

“Heck yes it’s good! I’ve had this from time to time at middle eastern restaurants and never knew what it was called. Got my a few days ago and it’s amazing. Definitely check it out.“

“Tasty Lebanese food + other things like pastries, fruit drinks and coffee in a no-frills setting. I usually get the chicken shawarma plate which is quite filling and delicious in a homemade way. Spicy sauce is tangy and relatively mild. Yogurt sauce is incredible, next time I will ask for extra. Falafels are more soft than crunchy and very flavorful. Staff are respectful and easy to work with. Located in the Oakland City Center plaza.“

“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.“

“What an amazing night at Chez Mansour! We went to watch Terga Group, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The music was incredible, the ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, and the food was delicious.

On top of that, the owner is extremely kind and made us feel right at home. You can really feel the passion and care behind this place. A perfect spot for a great evening with live music, good vibes, and amazing food.

Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back!“

“I have to say this experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.

A dear friend insisted I try the pineapple coconut cakes, ordering four and telling me “you will see.” That level of confidence immediately raised my curiosity and it absolutely delivered.

From the moment I walked in, the staff set the tone. They were kind, informative, patient, and genuinely welcoming. That level of service matters, and they got it right.

I initially ordered four plates and appreciated the menu variety, especially seeing whole chicken wings offered. But the real moment came when I sampled the shrimp in my car. It was outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and memorable.

I turned right back around and ordered an additional plate with catfish and shrimp, and that sealed it for me. The shrimp are 🔥🔥🔥!

This is the kind of place that earns repeat visits. The food is bold, the service is warm, and the overall experience leaves a lasting impression. I will absolutely be back.“

“Staff is friendly and the lunch box wall decor is cute. Parking will NOT be in your favor tho.“

“It was truly a great place to sit and eat at. The food was amazing and delicious. I recommend this restaurant and will be going back. However, there is always room for improvement, the owners family or friends were sitting in the restaurant and was sometimes noisy with kids running around and mess with toys. Beside that it was all good.“

“The food at Kojokojo is decent, but it’s not quite a “wow” experience. In terms of taste, I’d rate it a 7 out of 10. The dishes are enjoyable and well-prepared, but they don’t particularly stand out. One downside is the pricing, which feels a bit on the expensive side for the overall dining experience. While it’s worth trying, the value doesn’t completely match the cost.“

“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.“

“Ellie, thank you so much for the great service.
We were initially disappointed that the syringe ran out for the fall out collab, but your attentiveness and care truly made our experience worthwhile. Everything was delicious, and you turned the moment around for us. We really appreciated it.“

“when I'm not in the mood to cook the first thing I think about is going to them.“

“Best burritos in the bay period end of discussion“

“Good cheap eats. Sort of fun to get your own chai, as much as you want.“

“Very nice little Indian restaurant close to work. I've always enjoyed the dishes I've tried here great authentic taste and flavor. I especially love their aloo paratha and chicken tikka masala. My only issue is that they are not consistent with their timings. They say they open at 12 noon, but sometimes they are closed or not even open by 12:30.“

“Savoring Lebanese cuisine; like never before . una reunión de amigos ... y una comida excelente ... de falafel boy quede impresionado. más que recomendado.“

“East Bay Express has an article about this place! Excellent Afghan cuisine in the heart of Oakland. THE BEST Mantu I have ever had ( home made). Must try the Chami kebab plate!!! The spicy and savory sauces add to a perfect meal. Family friendly and has an authentic Afghan seating area as well. The owner was so kind and the server provided great service. Come support this little Afghan grm and fill your bellies full. Thank you and we will come back soon!“
