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)“

“This place is amazing and the food is amazing as well. Its sooo so sooooo good, we ordered a angry mac bowl, and a chicken sandwich. The vibe is amazing as well. I also like the option of how you can choose the spice level. I highly recommend this place.“

“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.!“

“Очень вкусная шаурма и бурегры😋😋😋😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Went to this place on Friday, customer service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Will be going back for sure.“

“Cute little place! Fresh and delicious 🤤“

“I didn’t expect an Afghan restaurant to feel this personal. From the moment I walked in, there was a quiet warmth—not loud, not forced, just genuine. The dishes carried depth without trying to impress. Every bite felt layered with care, especially the rice and slow-cooked meats. It’s not just food, it’s a calm experience that stays with you after you leave.“

“delicious food and good customer service“

“Afghan Ice Cream & Grill is one of the only places I found everything fairly good. Here I had the traditional and athletic Qabli Palaw in which lamb and rice are simmered together which gives it the true flavor of Qabli, which is hard to find. The price was fair and a service with humility. Even though it’s a small place but the evening summer breeze on the patio made everything more pleasant.“

“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!!“

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

“Excellent food And friendly service. I had their Philly cheese sandwich and fries really good lots of good meat and peppers and other things in the sandwich, a little heavy on the sauce so you might want to tell them to go light on the sauce if you don’t want a lot of sauce, but the quality was good. The taste was good. The fries were outstanding will definitely be using them again in the future.“

“The service was great and the food was amazing, I had the chicken shawarma. Just the one thing I recommend is that they get some type of shade over the chairs and table. The days are getting hotter and I would like to enjoy my meal on a shaded table, I will definitely be back, the food was that good.“

“We went today and it was great! Friendly staff and fantastic food. 5 STARS. We will be returning, for sure.“

“Quality food & excellent service.“

“My second time here and I ordered the vegan fish online but they were out. I had the curry 'chicken' (lion's mane mushrooms) instead and it was so good! Spicy and very flavorful.“

“Freshness and deliciousness is felt in every bite of your food in M’s Halal. Nice and quiet family friendly restaurant! Great place, definitely recommend it.“

“I had a great experience at Rays Chicken and Fish! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the fish was crispy and tasty. The portions were generous, and everything was served hot.

The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s clear they care about their customers and take pride in the food they serve.

I highly recommend Rays Chicken and Fish to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Excellent authentic taste. Highly recommend“

“Food is seriously good. Flavorful rice, crispy flavorful falafel. Fluffy pita bread. Good hummus and tkatziki. Person working there is cool. Good selection of canned and fountain sodas.
They have great specials on rice bowls, they're buy 1 get 1, that ends up being a super cheap meal for 2.“

“OMG, fast spot for quality and tasty pasta. Get the Cajun chicken pasta. Noodles and chicken were cooked up perfect. Portions were generous. Sauce stuck to the noodles nicely, and spiced to perfection. insane value for quality, taste, and convenience.“

“Best option for food in the mall hands down!! You already breaking the bank why pay the price to on your health as well??? Eat healthy, feel better!!!! Yum . On my way to eat here second day in a row. Thank you for providing healthy option here in the galleria mall!!!“

“Ong, they're pretty respectful and social. I spent 4 years eating here. I like the food. I always get the Chicken Platter and lately I've been hearing people getting their fries. I left a tip on the Wednesday of finals, and boom. I got to try a small tray of fries for free along with my food. Ong they didn't have to do that but the fries were PRETTY GOOD. ngl.

Anyways, yeah. Been coming here my whole 4-5 years at school. Love the food. Love the Staff. Hopefully one day I'll come back! Literally my favorite spot here!

My god tho, I wish I ordered the fries long ago. I only got to eat them at the Wednesday of finals lmao.“
