Halal Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“I had the opportunity to enjoy their food at a recent pop-up restaurant put on by La cucina in San Francisco! their cuisine is Algerian and very delicious! I have never had the chance to experience this particular cuisine and now I cannot wait until they open the Municipal Marketplace in San Francisco's tenderloin neighborhood! expected to open in July, KAYMA will be one of the stalls featured there. absolutely every morsel I tried at that dinner was delicious but they're brined black olives were incredible! hoping they will have them available in jars to take home!“

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

“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!!“

“Stopped by OakTown Kabobs and had a really good experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with generous portions that made for a satisfying meal.

The place has a casual, welcoming atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive. Great spot for tasty kabobs and a relaxed dining experience 👍“

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!“

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

“I got the atlas salad, lentils and chicken shawarma. The perfect lunch if you are looking for something nutritious, fresh yet satisfying. Also love that the staff is so helpful and kind they go above and beyond which is rare to see these days! ❣️“

“Great food and good costumer service“

“This is the best South Asian cuisine I have had outside of my home. The food actually tastes authentic and not watered down for people who do not like spicy food. The goat biryani, chicken biryani, and goat karahi were excellent. If you are in the Oakland area, you have to try this place out!“

“I have try so many burgers places in SF I think this is my favorite spot now on in SF
I got the double cheese burger it was so big and fresh. The guy really surprised me with the fries I dont like skinny fries but I will come back again.“

“Okay wow. My kids love this spot and I never tried it bc I thought it was just whatever but I finally ordered a single tender for myself to see what the hype was all about and it was so good!!! I got mild which is just a tiny kick but not where you need to find water and it was so good! Amazingly crispy even after waiting after I had driven home to eat it and the pickles and super soft slice of bread was the perfect complement. The batter is very tasty with a hint of sweet and the chicken itself felt like great quality and wasn’t dry. Okay I get it now! Will order myself some food the next time the kids ask for this!“

“Kiosk for ordering, so no human interaction. I can’t really compare what I ate with other Mexican restaurants because of dietary restrictions. We had tacos: hand made blue corn tortillas! Meat had a charred flavor and was of good consistency. Quesabirria eas nice the consume was on good too. Overall great experience.“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“The location is right next to a gas station, so it’s probably not the best spot if you’re looking to hang out with friends or have a date night. But don’t let the location fool you—the moment I pulled up, I could smell the food from the parking lot, and it smelled amazing.

The customer service was exceptional. The gentleman who helped me even gave me complimentary black tea with spices while I waited. It was piping hot and had a really good flavor. My food also came out fairly quickly.

I ordered the chicken shawarma plate, which came with seasoned chicken, rice, pita bread, hummus, and a creamy garlic sauce on the side. Everything was hot, flavorful, and well seasoned without being overdone. I was a little surprised that the chicken was shredded since I expected larger grilled pieces, but it was still delicious and had plenty of flavor.

The hummus was especially good—it honestly tasted homemade—and the creamy garlic sauce went perfectly with everything. Overall, the great service and delicious food definitely made up for the location. I’d come back for the food and hospitality.“

“I've been wanting to visit forever, and it didn't disappoint! We arrived near opening time with no wait, but there was a line by the time we finished.

We shared smoked brisket, smoked ayam lumpia, nasi goreng, rujak slaw, and macaroni goreng—just the right amount for three of us. The brisket was tender, and everything was flavorful, with the slaw providing a nice crunch. I'd definitely return!“

“I've been coming here since they opened. Since the 'rebranding ', I noticed that the pizzas are smaller and there's hardly any pepperoni on the pizza. I ordered cheese and pepperoni medium. It's usually more than enough, but not anymore. Please continue with the size and quality that you have done in the past. I know that things have gotten more expensive but it's too much of a difference.“

“Absolutely stunned at the quality of food here! 5/5 stars for everything. My husband and I ended up getting the pani puri shots, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, beef brisket pizza. For drinks we had a dragonfruit mocktail and chai. Taste was the gold standard, and service was super attentive. Shahil is such a humble and hardworking guy, doing great things for the San Fran area and halal food scene all over.“

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

“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!“

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

“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! 😉“

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

“Everything was served hot and fresh! The Chicken Over Rice was my favorite—the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The sauces were amazing. The green sauce is my absolute favorite and takes everything to the next level. The chicken sandwich was sooo good, and the patty was greatttt—crispy, flavorful, and delicious! Fresh food, generous portions, and super satisfying. You can also feel the care that goes into the food. Definitely recommend this for an everyday meal, any day of the week!“

“I love, love this little spot. They are fairly new to the area and I love them. Not only is the food always fresh, and packed with tons of flavor, and deliciousness, the staff is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. This is my new lunch favorite. The prices are phenomenal, especially for the area.“

“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.“

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

“What a hidden gem in Oakland! If you're looking for authentic halal smash burgers, delicious wings, and comfort food made with passion, this is the place to be. Every bite tasted fresh and was clearly prepared with pride and attention to detail.
What made the experience even more special was meeting the owner in person. You can instantly tell he's pouring his heart and soul into this business, and his love for cooking and serving customers shines through in everything they do.
The restaurant is spacious, perfect for families and large groups, and they even have a pool table where you can relax, have fun, and unwind while waiting for your food or hanging out after your meal. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and very family friendly.“

“Great food lovely location“

“Their food is some of the best I’ve had in quite some time. We stumbled upon this corner restaurant by accident and had zero regrets. Our favorites are the chicken and waffle burrito and their French toast. Their French toast is the best I’ve ever had, soft and flavorful. You must check this place out!“

“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.“

“Halal Wings Plus offers truly authentic Pakistani flavors in a no-frills, hole‑in‑the‑wall setting. While the ambiance might be modest, the food is absolutely top-notch. I can’t recommend the lemon pepper spicy wings enough—they’re bursting with flavor. The burgers are also delicious, and overall, the quality of the food is excellent. It’s definitely a must‑try spot in the city!“

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

“Dottie made our evening! We were lucky enough to be seated in her section and she was the best! Her recommendations and attention to detail were perfect! The food was delicious, although the rib eye and steak frittes were a little too salty. If you like salt I'm sure they'd be perfect. Drinks, appetizers and desserts were also very, very good - especially the tots with caviar! Yum!!“

“The food is phenomenal. Everything, from the sauce, the salad, the rice, the chicken, the beef, the burger, was phenomenal. Even though the prices are not cheap, they deserve it. If the tomatoes and salad taste good, that means everything's good, and they care about everything.

After we're done, we would put that whole place out. We don't have to clean; they clean everything for us. What is the service?“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (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! 🍕🌶️👌“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Marhabah Cafe brings a wonderfully warm and authentic taste of Yemeni coffee culture straight to Oakland. The cozy, inviting atmosphere is the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends. From their richly spiced traditional Qishr to exceptional pastries, every item is crafted with incredible care. I will absolutely be stopping by again soon.“

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

“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!“
