Halal Restaurants near Citrus Heights, CA

“Chicken plate was really good. Husband said it's the best rice he's ever had. My beef and lamb gyro was amazing!! Baklava was TOP NOTCH! We look forward to eating here many times again.“

“My wife and I decided to give this restaurant a try instead of going to our usual eatery. To say that we were positively surprised by the quality of food (taste and the way it was cooked) and the vibrant atmosphere of this Uzbek restaurant is to say nothing. My wife is into Middle-Eastern food as she lived there for 30 years and she knows all about it. At the end of our meal in Caravan, she said that it was the best restaurant so far for that kind of food. I may not be that specific, but I definitely liked it a lot. We are already planning to come back to this place again and to bring our friends here, too. The only drawback was that the place is so much popular that sometimes you would need to wait for quite a while. So, if you are planning to go there, try to chose not crowded times (if you can)“

“I signed the waiver and went with Angry level

🔥 Carolina Reaper

Scoville Heat Units (SHU) Notes
Carolina Reaper 1,641,183 – 2,200,000+ SHU

Was told only 1 or 2 persons try it out each month
Guess my name entered into their record books.
It’s the hottest burger I’ve ever had. Had the fountain coke coming in to cool me down.
But in the end accomplished the “been there done that.”
Very clean ambience and professionally run. Must try them out to become one of the regulars.“

“My wife and I basically had the place to ourselves when we visited. The person working their made our food fresh and it was delicious, comparable to places like Halal Guys. The person working there was even playing the piano in the restaurant, he asked us if it was okay if he played. We will definitely back again.“

“Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon because where we were going was too crowded and we were very pleasantly surprised! Great gyros, hummus, tzatziki and chili. Pita is ver very y yeah good. Can’t wait to try the amazing looking Dubai chocolate and their baklava too.!“

“Halal Grill Express (حلال Kabob+Shashlik) is hands-down one of the best spots in Folsom for anyone craving authentic, high-quality Mediterranean and West Asian flavors. Located right near City Hall, it’s a bright, modern, and welcoming space that clearly prioritizes quality and hospitality.
What Makes it Stand Out:

The Signature Kabobs: You can’t go wrong with the Chicken Kabob Plate. The meat is incredibly tender and perfectly charred, served on a bed of fluffy, seasoned rice that hits the spot every time.

The Hummus & Sides: The hummus here is buttery smooth and tastes amazingly fresh. Even the salad is a highlight—vibrant, crisp, and clearly prepared with care rather than as an afterthought.

Unique Favorites: If you want something a bit different, the Afghani Wrap (stuffed with fries and seasoned meat) and the Loaded Fries with garlic sauce are absolute game-changers.

Hospitality: A huge part of the experience is the owner, Masi. He is genuinely one of the nicest people you'll meet, making everyone feel like a regular from their very first visit.

Whether you’re dining in to enjoy the clean, neon-lit atmosphere or ordering takeout (which is always packed with impressive care), this place never misses. It’s fresh, it’s flavorful, and it’s a must-visit in the area!“

“I cannot express enough how much I adore Falafel Fusion in Rancho Cordova--it's truly the gem of Mediterranean cuisine in the Sacramento area! From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere and the friendly staff make you feel right at home. Inayat, the manager, is an absolute star! His passion for delivering an exceptional dining experience shines through, making each visit memorable. Conveniently located next to the I-50 exit with ample parking, Falafel Fusion is easily accessible, adding to its charm. Now, let's talk about the falafel platter--an absolute masterpiece! The combination of pita, falafels, basmati rice, house salad, and that secret house sauce is nothing short of divine. The pita was incredibly soft, the falafels crispy with a delightful cilantro flavor. Each bite was a burst of taste explosions, and the falafels literally melted in my mouth. The spice levels were spot-on, providing a perfect balance of flavors. The hummus, a heavenly side, complemented the falafels and basmati rice flawlessly. Speaking of the rice, it was not just any rice--it was a flavorful journey on its own. The house salad, fresh and vibrant, added a delightful crunch to the meal. Now, let's talk about that secret house sauce--it's an absolute game-changer! I've never tasted anything so good. It elevates the entire dining experience to a whole new level. Kudos to the brilliant minds behind this secret concoction! And the cleanliness! The spotless bathrooms reflect the commitment to maintaining a hygienic environment. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food you receive. In conclusion, Falafel Fusion is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic and mouthwatering Mediterranean cuisine. Support this amazing local business; you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Falafel Fusion, for consistently delivering an unforgettable dining experience.“

“The lamb in qabili palaw was tender and could be cut with fork. The curry was spicy but not over the top. All dishes well seasoned and attractively arranged even though takeout. The long grain rice and bread were also very tasty.“

“The owner is a friend of mine and having been to Afghanistan I can assure that the food is authentic, delicious and the atmosphere very hospitable.“

“I never been there, but it any place that makes gyros with lamb is awesome“

“This place is sooo yummy! I ordered the falafel wrap and I dare say it’s the best I’ve had. Creamy and ordered with medium spice which was perfect. Incredible flavor and the wrap was fried to perfection. Cute decor, quiet, lowkey. Not too fancy, not too casual. Perfect for a nice little lunch. More people need to go here!“

“Food was great! I got the Top Loaded Mac & Cheese and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were amazing and everything tasted fresh. YOUSIF was one of the nicest people I’ve met — very friendly, polite, and welcoming. He made the whole experience even better with his great attitude and excellent customer service it makes me come back. Definitely recommend this place and I’ll for sure be coming back!“

“the food was amazing I got the spicy shawarma and I was the perfect level of spice and the shawarma was massive for 16.50

the service was great super nice

the place was super nice in the shade, not too loud and in a private environment

and overall Id give them a 5/5

I would recomend 100%“

“I seriously cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We were greated by a very friendly man who offered suggestions on the menu. He pleasantly asked if we were happy with our food. The food is AMAZING. I got a gyro wrap, my husband got a gyro platter. The portions were huge and absolutely delicious. My husband eats more food then you could imagine and it made him stuffed while not sacrificing quality or flavor. The meat just melted in your mouth and the flavor was out of this world. We got two baklavas and I cannot even explain how good they are.“

“I stumbled upon this amazing Afghan street food truck randomly, and it was a delightful surprise. I tried their Afghan burger, and it was absolutely delicious. The blend of spices and herbs was on point, creating a unique and satisfying flavor experience. The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable, and the overall experience was fantastic. If you're up for a culinary adventure, definitely give this food truck a try - you won't be disappointed!“

“My fave afghan ice cream (sheer yakh) in Sacramento!

side note, they catered my brothers wedding and it was SUCH a hit. They were the star of the show and our guests went back for seconds, thirds, and even fourths. We love them!!“

“The ice cream here is unbelievably creamy and full of real flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients because every scoop tastes fresh and natural. The staff is friendly, and the shop always feels clean and inviting. Highly recommended!”“

“Beef curry, polaw, Bangladeshi dishes is sooo good� I really enjoyed it �“

“OMG!!!! First time trying shawarma and I picked the perfect place... Pulled up and was hesitant because there was nobody there but im glad I tried it. Ordered the chicken shawarma it was 12$ and it was plenty for 2 people. Asked for a side of spicy sauce it was mild but gave it a nice enhanced flavor.. now the shawarma itself was amazing 10/10 hot fresh crispy the cabbage inside was light and refreshing the chicken was flavored and had a slight char so it went well with the crispness of the cabbage slaw. I highly recommend and will def be returning.. also the the guy helped me was very helpful and customer service was amazing...

Follow up.
After this review I tried another shawarma plave called 812 grill and was extremely disappointed i will def be coming back to this place again due to the flavor and authenticity from caravan. Still best shawarma ive had in sacramento...“

“I recently visit Prime Gyro and Grill, and I want to share my experience. The staff, Sayed and Mohammad, are very professional and respectful. They make you feel welcome and valued.

The food is excellent—both the taste and quality are remarkable. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and it was wonderful! You can feel the freshness in every bite, and the flavors are truly amazing.

If you are searching for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️halal restaurant in Sacramento or Placer County, this place is great choice. The prices are fair, considering the high quality of the food. I enjoyed my time there so much that I will definitely return.

I recommend Prime Gyro and Grill to everyone. Give it a try, and you will want to come back again!“

Randomly decided to go here years ago And it was the best choice ever made every time I visit I always gotta stop at Ray’s and get some shrimp scampi 🙏🏼“
