Halal Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“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.“

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

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

“Great food and lots of outdoor seating“

“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.“

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

“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?!“

“We ordered the fire fries and pani puri shots as appetizers and they were great. I’m personally not a big fan of pani puri but my wife loved them!

For our main dishes we got the chicken tikka masala and the dum biryani. The chicken tikka masala was great but unfortunately I don’t think either of us were super fond of the biryani. Not that it was bad, just not our cup of tea today I guess.

For drinks we had the mango magic and triple threat and both were amazing choices.

We’ve been here before and my favorite item had to be the chicken tikka pizza! We will be coming here again next time we’re in SF!“

“Great food and good costumer service“

“Chef Azalina's restaurant in San Francisco's Tenderloin district offers an exceptional dining experience that goes beyond just food. It's a testament to passion, perseverance, and community engagement.

The cuisine is remarkable, showcasing meticulous attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. Each dish demonstrates craftsmanship, with a harmonious blend of tastes that speaks to the chef's skill. The menu features unique ingredients, including an herb reminiscent of Fruit Loops cereal. I'm not going to write too much about food because I think it's borderline just pointless to describe food in words.

What sets this establishment apart is Chef Azalina's commitment to her craft and community. She maintains close relationships with her suppliers, including fisherwomen from Half Moon Bay, ensuring the highest quality ingredients and supporting local producers. I'm convinced that if there were 1000 more Azalinas in SF, this would be the greatest city on earth.

After my meal, I had the privilege of speaking with Chef Azalina for two hours. She shared fascinating stories about her relationship with food, the inspirations behind each course, and her experience as a restaurant owner in the Tenderloin. Her passion for culinary arts and dedication to her community were obvious.

Chef Azalina also opened up about the challenges of operating in the Tenderloin. Many potential patrons unfairly dismiss her restaurant due to its location, overlooking the exceptional culinary experience it offers. Despite this, she remains committed to her vision and to making a positive impact in the neighborhood. Her presence has contributed to the neighborhood's revitalization, demonstrating how a restaurant can be a force for community improvement.

Azalina offers not just a meal, but an experience that combines culinary excellence with personal passion and community engagement. It's a must-visit for those seeking innovative, thoughtfully prepared cuisine in San Francisco, and a shining example of how food can transcend stereotypes and transform communities.“

“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,“

“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.“

“I highly recommend Mashallah Halal if you are looking for quality Lamb Curry✌🏾“

“I recently stopped by Halal King and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Given that it's a take-out spot, the setting is pretty basic. It’s clean and well-organized, making it easy to navigate. It’s not a place to linger, but perfect for a quick grab-and-go meal. I tried their Grilled chicken with rice and side of salad, and it exceeded my expectations. The ingredients were fresh, and the portion size was generous. The flavors were well-balanced, and it felt like a homemade meal. The staff was friendly and efficient, taking my order quickly and ensuring that everything was prepared just the way I wanted. The wait time was minimal. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. You definitely get a good bang for your buck here.

Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time here celebrating his birthday. We were offered a comped glass of champagne since we were celebrating. The place definitely gives swanky steakhouse but with a more modern twist. I HIGHLY recommend the Pavé Tots with caviar, the steak tartare, the potato puree and the truffle bordelais sauce. You really can't go wrong with any steak you choose. If you're a cutlery or a knife nerd, they let you choose your own steak knife from their eclectic collection of hand made knives. They also have a pianist that plays in the lounge nightly which i think adds to the ambiance. Thank you Vault Steakhouse for a wonderful time and meal! Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“very yummy halal mexican food, had the fajita, nachos, quesabirria, chicken and birria tacos.
was absolutely delicious, so happy to be able to have delicious food available as halal !! huge shoutout to the restaurant for that. great if you love cheesy things like the family i was with!!

Dietary restrictions: serves all halal meat“

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

“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!“

“اكل حلال اسعار في متناول اليد تعامل قمة في الذوق“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 stars) Pizza Twist is a flavor fusion haven! Amazing Indian-inspired pizzas with vegan, vegetarian, and halal options. The taste is a masterpiece, and the service is exceptional. Highly recommended! 🍕🌶️👌“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“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! 😉“

“I enjoyed the falafel wrap sandwich. The bread was soft and fresh. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The falafel was kind of different. Like chickpea French fries. The service was friendly and helpful. The ambiance needs some work. Otherwise, it's a nice new place in my neighborhood!“

“Such a great experience eating at this restaurant. The service was top notch and the pizza was to die for.“

“Everything looks just amazing. Truly Mediterranean came highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Extremely delicious!! 🤎🙌🏾🙏🏾“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Simurg Bakery provides great baklava to the ones missing a professional taste in USA. Go for it!“

“It's de bomb. No but for real this food hits the spot whenever I'm in SF, I think either my Afghan friends or some chill random dude at SFO told me about it but either way I made it a habit to go out of my way to get this excellent food once a year when I'm down in SF. Really perfectly spiced, comforting food, nice people.

Vegetarian options: The Vegs are good and you'll have veg entrees to choose from, I think their roasted meat is the must-have though so I'll say they have options but it's not why I go here.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly“

“Great place to grab quick and delicious Halal burgers with juicy wings. The portion size of their meals and their French fries are phenomenal. ❤️

Had a small issue with my beef mushroom burger and got it replaced with a new one in 5 minutes. Awesome customer service 👏

Would definitely visit this place again soon.“

“TLDR: huge plate of quality Mediterranean food for under $15 in the FiDi!

I came here ordering takeout and the plates averaged around $13. I got the mixed combo plate and though it didn’t come with rice, it came with beef and chicken, hummus, salad, bread, falafel and dolma which were all great! Service was friendly, food came out quickly and I even got some hot sauce with my dips! Would definitely come back“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience here! The people are the sweetest and the food is so tasty. They have a great selection and are very accommodating to your likings. It is also very clean and comfortable to be at. They also offer halal and vegan options which is really sincere and genuine of them. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: They love children here and are so sweet to them!“

“This restaurant food is much more better than other Pakistani Indian restaurants all around the US. Chicken biryani & seekh kabob was so delicious authentic Pakistani flavor specially the Tea which is so so so good like Pakistani famous Pathan’s tea and we never had an experience before this in US. The best thing is they make in front of us so the quality of the food is so fresh and yummy like your own kitchen.“

“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!“

“Perfect spot for a quick lunch. I first tried the food from Sajj in San Mateo. It was a "regular" lunch place for many at my office. Now that I occasionally work in SF, I was please to find a Sajj just a block away. Love that the food is fresh and bonus that it is full of flavor. I take advantage of ordering ahead and picking up on my schedule.“

“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.“
