Halal Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

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

“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.“

“just went to the modesto location today and got the boom reaper. soooo good 🔥🔥💯“

“We needed a larger table for my mom’s bday in a last minute decision to have dinner here, and although during their busier time, we were lucky and got a table. Nity was so kind, attentive and accommodating from the very start of our first phone call. She recommended a set menu for our party size and gave great recommendations. The process was smooth, informative and her communication was good. The entire staff was friendly and professional while also being polite and respectful. Food was served hot and freshly made and everything we had tasted excellent and nothing was over bearing. This included the super yummy and summery watermelon salad, malai chicken, tawa shrimp, baigan bharta, chole, dum biriyani, butter chicken, kheer brûlée and some pistachio trés leches! Kudos to the chefs! I know it can be hard to make a choice for Indian food in Berkeley but I recommend Noor, 10/10 ! Beautiful ambience, fresh and delicious food, premium service making for a really nice and refreshing experience. Ty again to you and your team Nity!“

“Punjabi Dhaba is my go-to indian food spot, it's truly so yummy. They have a great selection of indian dishes, and they are all executed very well, with great spice.
My favorite is the chicken biryani, but the chicken tikka and chicken vindalo are both great as well. MY ONLY WARNING is that the chicken tikka is very HEAVY. I think they must use a lot of butter or heavy cream or cheese or something, because eating the chicken tikka makes me feel like I have rocks in my stomach afterwards, so just keep that in mind. If you get their chicken tikka, I recommend getting a second dish (like the biryani) and splitting both with a friend, or splitting it across 2 meals.
Anyways their biryani is spiced really well, with great depth of flavor, and is never salty or unbalanced. It's really delicious always. Their chicken tikka is also super yummy (just remember it's very heavy), and I love to get it with my friends because the flavor is super creamy and rich. The vindalo is delicious and I love that they do make it actually spicy. Not so spicy that its overpowering, but it is properly spicy, while still letting the great spices shine.
Another thing is that their chicken dishes tend to have pretty dry chicken, but that's never an issue for me because I always get a side of raita (yogurt sauce) which goes so amazingly with the biryani, and I also love to get their mint chutney, because it's just amazing. But I think I just like mint.
The workers are also very nice, I normally see the same two men working the cash register, and they are both very polite and helpful. I never feel rushed or unwanted. I feel like they are very patient, and I appreciate that.
The inside of the restaurant is very small, with only 1 bar and 4 stools to sit on, but there is plenty of seating in the courtyard. I also like the decorations inside the restaurant, it feels cozy to me.
Overall: Please come here at least once. The food is delicious, not overpriced considering the portions, and they don't skimp on the protein in any of the dishes. A single dish from them will easily fill me to the point of almost bursting.
OH also their naan is very fluffy and delicious, with a great flavor and chew. Please try them!!!“

“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!“

“Came here on a whim after some golf with a friend. One of the best gyros I have had in years! Really kind and attentive staff as well. I would not hesitate to go back if I am in the area again.
Seating is a little sparse and the layout is a little cramped, but absolutely delicious food and really friendly staff. I would absolutely recommend if you are looking for some great lunch.“

“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!!“

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!“

“These guys are the real deal. I have been searching for proper combo over rice since I moved here from NYC 2 years ago and have struggled to find it anywhere. Somehow I hadn’t found this place yet, but man am I thrilled finally have. Full of flavor, cooked well, great portion for the price, and the guy was super friendly. Absolutely will be a consistent customer here. This is the place man, don’t sleep on it.“

“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! ❣️“

“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.“

“Great food and good costumer service“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“I’m visiting the city and Googled the best Shwarma around, and they have exceeded my expectations. The taste of the food was fenomenal and the quality was excellent.
They provide generous portions that can feed three adults.
If you are ever in the area please do yourself a favor and go.“

“Coworkers and I were actually looking for a different restaurant, got lost, decided to eat here and I am so glad we did because this place is DELICIOUS. The naan bread was SO good, crispy and chewy and fresh. I had the veggie korma, my coworkers had chicken curry dishes, we all had rice, everyone was delighted. I got a mango lasse to go and it too was fantastic. Our waiter was very nice too and we were served quickly. Total stroke of luck to wind up in front of this place, since we all want to go again soon.“

“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!“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“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.“

“Fikscue Craft BBQ is an absolute gem. The Indonesian BBQ fusion concept is unique, creative, and packed with flavor. The brisket was the highlight—beautifully smoked, tender, juicy, and full of rich flavor. You can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into the barbecue.

The nasi goreng was an excellent complement to the smoked meat, bringing a distinctive Indonesian touch that makes Fikscue stand out from a typical BBQ restaurant. The seasoned fries were also delicious and worked perfectly with the rest of the meal.

The portions are generous—around 2 lbs (almost 1 kg) of brisket along with the rice and fries—and everything felt well prepared and thoughtfully put together. It’s not inexpensive, but the quality of the meat, portion size, and overall experience make it feel like a special meal rather than just another BBQ dinner.

If you enjoy serious smoked brisket but want something different from traditional American BBQ, Fikscue Craft BBQ is definitely worth trying. Excellent food, distinctive flavors, and a memorable BBQ experience. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time trying- food is pretty great! The chicken was crispy and... crunchy if you can believe it, ever after a drive home and sitting while we wrapped up chores. It was juicy, and had just the right amount of seasoning which allowed for dynamic dipping flavor action. That this place is in a supermarket and the service is a bit here or there adds to the charm. Jambalaya is awesome, great kick. Mac n cheese is okay. Mashed tatos is what you would expect.“

“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! 😉“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“yes i recommend Halal wings plus and they just opened a new location in fremont very close to mirchi restsurant . Thanks God they are here becuse Wings plus food and price is awesome and affordable. Mirchi is getting out of pocket and also less quantity. Now we don't need to get expensive and less quantity food from mirch restaurant .Thank u Halal Wings plus .“

“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.“

“great experience! from the moment we walked in, the sound of the piano bar, the host who was flexible and gave us a great table, our primary server, Chris, who was attentive, friendly, helpful but not overbearing, the team of servers that pitch in to help any customer that needs help, the quality of the drinks and food, the table side caesar salad (must have), our T Bone steak - so good. And to top it off, they gave us a hand written card as we were celebrating our anniversary. Well done!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food lovely location“

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

“I've walked by a thousand times and finally went in for dinner. My only complaints is that I waited this long to try it. The food was amazing and the service was attentive yet relaxed and we didn't feel rushed. I'll absolutely be going back soon.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (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! 🍕🌶️👌“

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