Halal Restaurants near Cerritos, CA

“Making the most out of this Covid-19 situation for pick-up. Order was secure, exact, and made fresh. They were backed up as when I first got there they were a little short staffed as The Friday Dinner rush was starting, but they kept their cool, their extra hand showed up, and they did well. Just make yourself visible so they got your name assuming you pre-ordered for pick-up. The short wait will not disappoint. And they definitely didn't forget my white sauce - always my biggest fear as it's truly the essence of this place!“

“We arrived earlier than the food truck and almost missed them, but luckily right as we were looking for dinner alternatives they pulled in! Absolutely delicious, we ordered the 24" chicken shawarma meal with extra pickles. The chicken was super delicious, and the fries really hit the spot. Highly recommend!“

“10/10 Most delicious food with friendly customers service 😋 highly recommended 👌 👍“

“Decided to stop by here on the way to LA after a delicious ice cream treat. We ordered quesadillas and their tacos. The food was spot on and this is after us having some ice cream. The food is prepared outside on the parking lot in front of the store. I love their green sauce and they’re very generous with their cilantro and onions. The service was amazing as the young lady made great recommendations and she was very nice. The ambience is nice because you have a choice of sitting outside on a nice day or if it’s cold you have the choice to sit inside the marketplace.“

“I always get the combo over rice with white sauce. The meat is always consistent and I enjoy the food very much. The restaurant is clean and the employees are great. Good service overall at the Garden Grove location.

Parking: Park anywhere it is available.“

“GUYS, if you haven’t tried it, you are MISSING OUT . Soooooo goood.“

“I've been in search for a place that serves good quality desi street food and snacks and this place did not disappoint! I had their pappri chat, kabob pizza and freezi mint drink and all was so satisfying! Everything was high quality and taste! Highly recommend if you're craving Pakistani cafe type of food and drinks!“

“Best Egyptian food place in Cali. The owners are super friendly. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻“

“first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn’t taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don’t usually drink black coffee unless it’s very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it’s good but on the pricier end.“

“Everything was fantastic from the service to the food to the ambiance. Great place to go for some authentic Turkish dishes served by Turks themselves.

Definitely the best lamb I've ever had, and their pepper sauce was delicious! Be sure to try an apple or pomegranate tea and stop by their desert shop next door!“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“Excellent Biryani, Gola Kabob, Dubai Smash Burger, Chapli Kabob, Chicken Kharai, Bihari Kabob, Gola Kabob, Naan and Falooda Sweet Drink…. Also they do lots of catering with excellent service.“

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!“

“really recommend so yammy and the price is good variety of meals must try“

“I was there in California from another state. We ordered jalapeños beef burgers, halwa puri platters, beef seekh kabobs with rice platter, masala fries, mango lassi and sweet lassi. Each and every single food item was fresh and hot, seekh kabobs were so juicy and perfect flavor, cholay were soft and with some light gravy to eat with puri. Aalo were soft yet some small size chunks in plate with light gravy, and halwa that you just don’t want to stop eating. My kids are very picky eaters but they loved each and every single thing we ordered from this restaurant. Beef burger was so yummy that my daughter kept ordering the next time we went there again. We ended up going 3 times in our 1 week trip. We tried their fried chicken the third day, oh my gosh it’s just one of the best fried chicken ever. We were so glad that we were able to find a halal restaurant with all the choices at one place for our kids and adults. Last but not the least, their prices were very reasonable and the staff was very nice and friendly.“

“The food was delicious! Especially the Tandoori Chicken! I also really enjoyed the Chicken Tiki Masala and the Cheese Naan.“

“Solid! I liked the chicken over the burger. Nice bread. Seems better quality than normal burger joint. Good fries too. Maybe the sauce containers are maybe a bad fit? Ranch opened up in the bag lol. Great cashier also he was chill and helped me order. Thank you!“

“Good food. Very friendly people at along Beach location. 😊“

“A Must-Visit for Authentic Afghan Cuisine
The Afghan Kabob House is an absolute gem! The owners truly care about their customers and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.
The food is simply incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We especially loved the lamb kabobs, bolani, mantu. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu – it's all a must-try!
Pro tip: Go with a group so you can sample a variety of dishes and share the deliciousness.
The service is top-notch, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. I can't wait to return for another fantastic meal. Highly recommend!“

“Love love love the food , great dinner I fly out here just for this place“

“I absolutely love the chicken sliders here, they’re incredibly delicious! The flavor and spice are just perfect. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind, which makes the experience even better. Aisha was really sweet. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving some amazing hot chicken!“

“well good food great service“

“I ordered the Grilled Salmon and it was simply amazing. Everything in that plate was so delicious, kudos to the chef! I was going there for the Shawerma; however, I couldn't resist getting the salmon since I was craving it and they didn't disappoint 😋“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“My Dave’s experience is always great! The food is always fresh and made to order. I never wait too long for my meal and the customer service is alway awesome. Amanda, provides such great customer service and made sure my order was accurate, I really appreciate that!“

“Curry on Pie is honestly a great find — finally a really good pizza spot in Artesia 🍕 This was my second visit, and it definitely did not disappoint. The location is in a perfect, convenient spot, which makes stopping by easy.

The first time I visited, I tried their vegan pizza, and it was really good 🌱 The pesto pizza slices are also very flavorful and well made. You can tell they care about consistency and quality, which really shows in the taste.

Customer service here is great 😊 The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to offer recommendations. They genuinely seem to care about what they’re serving and about the customer experience. The place itself is clean, and there’s street parking available, which is a plus.

Overall, a solid pizza spot with good flavors, good service, and consistency. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area 🍕🙌“

“My wife and I ordered the Mediterranean Bowls. I ordered the chicken schwarma and she ordered the chicken Kabob. Staff was very friendly and even offered us Turkish Tea to taste when we were done with our food. We're not from the area but would definitely eat here again when we're back in the area.“

“I haven't been at the restaurant but my friend brought food from there and it was amazing! Very different from what seen in other restaurants! From presentation to flavors! Now I gotta go check it out in person and try other things in the menu!“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“Jose and John were very friendly and helpful. We got samples of the frozen Hi-Cs. Ended up buying two because he gave us the option of combining two flavors. We had placed an online order and he was fast and accommodating. Our food was hot, accurate, and delicious. We loved the vibe and the atmosphere here a lot more than our closest location.“

“BEST BEST EVERYTHING!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Ikram Grill. The food was absolutely perfect — clean, delicious, well-prepared, and served warm just the way it should be. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care and pride. The portions were incredibly generous; there was so much food that we happily took some home with us, and it was just as good later.

The service was beyond perfection. Truly outstanding. The employees were attentive, kind, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. They made us feel genuinely taken care of, not rushed, not overlooked — just appreciated as customers. Anything you could possibly want from an eatery or restaurant, Ikram Grill had it to offer.

This kind of work is not easy. It’s hard work, demanding work, and yet they make it look effortless. That alone speaks volumes about the people behind this place and the standards they hold themselves to. The care, consistency, and effort show in every detail — from the food to the service to the overall experience.

No one asked me to write this review. I’m doing it entirely on my own, and I’m truly happy to do so. Ikram Grill deserves the recognition. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. I will absolutely be back and will gladly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.“

“Everything is delicious & authentic. It’s as if it were made by my own Lebanese family. Diverse menu options - so if you do or don’t eat meat - you will find lots of yummy options.“

“Good service, good food friendly staff“

“First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken! The food wasn't bad, the chicken was pretty juicy. Medium wasn't that spicy but the food was definitely made fresh! The fried were super hot and crispy when they came out, as well as the chicken. Overall, the food was pretty good.“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“We first found Big Al's Pizzeria on IG. All of their pizzas caught our eye because of the unique flavors that they serve. We know that often times when you see something on IG and go experience a place in person it may not be as expected. That was NOT the case with Big Al's Pizzeria. WOW!! Can't even tell you how much they exceeded our expectations when it came to the flavors and textures that they deliver. You can tell that they use High Quality, Fresh Ingredients and take pride in their creations, especially with everything being homemade!! I know a lot of people say that it takes a while to receive their pizza but we can tell you IT IS WORTH THE WAIT AND CALORIES!! The combinations on their pizzas are next level and so fun and unique! The pizza dough has the perfect fluffiness, chewy texture and flavor. The wings WOW! Definitely in our top 5 of favorites! So crispy and flavorful! OOh plus the Brisket Sandwich and the bread they use... ufffff!!! Don't forget about Dessert! Even if you fill up on pizza you better at least take a slice home with you because IT IS WORTH IT!! They are large, creamy, flavorful and just AMAZEBALLS! We got the Tiramisu and it was NEXT LEVEL! Everything is OUT OF THIS WORLD and we can't recommend them enough!“

“BETWEEN THE REVIEWS w/ Rodney S

Q) So, Rodney, where did you go for lunch?
A) To Pak.

Q) 2pac?! The rapper?!
A) No, to Pak. I went to Pak Halal in Artesia.

Q) Oh, I see. Was this your first time visiting?
A) Yes, Rodney. A few Muslim gym buddies o' mine kept recommending Pak Halal, so of course I had to give the place a shot.

Q) What did you order?
A) Being my first time, I gave the Special Dishes display a thorough perusing.

Knowing I wanted a beef or mutton entree, after much thought & deliberation, I went all in on Pak Halal's Beef Nihari.

Q) Rodney, how was the Beef Nihari?
A) Spiced tender beef, swimming in flavorful broth. I enjoyed the Beef Nihari. I prefer a solid amount of fat to meat, and the Beef Nihari had just what I was looking for. Ample portions, with enough to fill up on. Speaking of filling up, the ginormous Garlic Naan provided a lot of garlicky carbs, made all the more better when soaking up with the Beef Nihari broth

Q) How was the service, and what are the seating arrangements?
A) Rodney, the service was good. The wait wasn't unreasonable. Being a small deli, there is a table or two inside & outside. Pak Halal is more an order ahead, grab n' go eatery. The railing outside Pak Halal acts as a standing communal table, in which I used to dine on my meal.

Q) Rodney, would you recommend Pak Halal?
A) Absolutely, Rodney! The food was great at Pak Halal, and when I'm in a hurry and not looking for a sit-down restaurant experience, I know I can head over to Pak Halal and order something to go, or enjoy a quick meal on the railing, before life's troubles beckon me, elsewhere“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“We were hoping this restaurant was going to be as good as their Fullerton location. Unfortunately, they have a ways to go. Admittedly, it is a high bar to cross. We started with Pani Puri. It was ok but not as good as I've had in Little India (Artesia). We also had Saag Paneer, which turned out to the best dish of the night, and Peshawari Chicken Karahi. The chicken dish was promised to be a bit spicy but turned out to be fairly mild unless one would eat the sliced jalapenos on top. The sauce was a bit sour and lacked depth. We asked for some spicy chutney which helped a bit. The nan, raita, and rice were perfect. My hope is that they send their Fullerton chefs in to give the chefs here a refresher course. Either that or we'll have to drive farther to Fullerton. Definitely will try again and order some different dishes. Our server was very friendly and helpful.“

“honestly my favorite hot chicken spot. super glad to have one within 5 minutes of me!“

“Everything fiat heads and sweets“

“This family-owned restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is unbelievable—fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with real love. The whole vibe is warm and welcoming, and you can feel the pride they put into every plate and every detail of the experience. The service makes you feel like you’re part of the family, and the atmosphere is the perfect mix of cozy and lively.“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“this was my first time eating here..I highly recommend!! perfect 10!! place is super clean, customer service is excellent n the food was delicious!! the food is FRESHLY made so it does take a kool minute to get ur meal but TRUST, it's worth it!! they serve big portions at fair prices.“

“Very Excellent! It's comparable to Raising Caine's , even the sauce. It's a little cheaper in price, and without the wait. They use REAL chicken not fake processed/pressed chicken. As an added bonus, they accept EBT Food. The only downside is it's hard to locate. It's a sub-let inside the Minimart on the corner. There's no outside signage.“

“One of the best places for Indian food I have ever eaten and been to. We ordered Palak Paneer, Chicken Makhani, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, all of them tasted really good and authentic! And also 5 stars for the service. Highly recommended!“

“Good DELICIOUS Food Great Customer service“

“It’s an Indian restaurant with most of the Indian staff .They know the real taste of India“
