Halal Restaurants near Corona Del Mar, CA

“This charming restaurant has some of the best Indian food my wife and I have ever had (we have eaten more than once at well over a half dozen high end Indian restaurants in London and at a number in New York and elsewhere in the US). We especially enjoyed the mulligitawny soup (with chicken)and the chicken tikka masala and the naan was excellent. We appreciated the lack of blaring rock music and the fact that, when we asked for our dishes mild, that is exactly what we got.“

“A beautiful spot with authentic food and delicious flavor. My favorite were the Samsa triangles, filled with delicious meat. My wife loved the “big chicken plate”, the portion was amazing and went really well with the naan. My kid loved the skewers and naan.“

“The guy who makes the Manti and the Samsa wasn’t there. That made me a little sad but our food came out really fast. It was a very homely atmosphere. The food literally almost caused me to ascend. The food was incredible. I have no complaints.“

“Halal spot ; We were on the way to South back home and stop by this restaurant for our light dinner.
I think it’s family owned and the prices are pretty reasonable. The staff were very friendly, and assisted us in ordering. Everything turned out good, they were super nice providing us extra condiments, etc. Be sure to select your spice level wisely cuz we ended up in tears, but we still enjoyed it though.

We hope that we can visit this place again next time we are on the way back from north
** hoping for a new branch near San Clemente soon.. we will be your regular customers“

“Coffee is really good! The turkish bagel (Simit) is THE best in California!!! We got a turkish breakfast plate, shakshuka, and the cheese omelette and everything was amazing. Great service and the owner is super cute :)
They also have amazing eclairs - a must try!“

“I had an amazing dining experience at Halalglu Turkish Restaurant in Costa Mesa. Not only is the food authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor, but the staff is truly incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The team was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect.

Every dish was cooked to perfection. The spices and fresh ingredients brought out the best in every bite. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making it a great spot for any occasion.

As a halal restaurant, it’s also a top choice for those looking for delicious and quality halal options. I highly recommend Halalglu to anyone in Costa Mesa looking for outstanding Turkish cuisine and impeccable service. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Fresh and delicious. Inexpensive if you need to feed a large family. Perfect for the person who like hot sauce. I have seen grown men wiping the sweat off their face with a smile!“

“We chose this place for brunch after a long search for the right restaurant. We focused on the choice on the menu and the availability of good coffee. Bayshore cafe met our expectations. The patio was wonderful. The fountain enlivened the atmosphere. Almost all tables are equipped with an open fire (if desired), but are too low for eating (we are tall, with a belly).
The server was exactly how we like service - friendly, respectful, fast, thoughtful. Our company rated all ordered dishes 5*. Baklava is a separate major song! Thank you very much for starting the day off.
But I would like to draw your attention to the fact that only one detail distracted from our meal - several intrusive flies. One even drowned in a glass of orange juice, which she had to part with. You can hang some sticky tape or something, I'm sorry.
Closed 2-story parking in the same building, free, but you probably need to find a place with a sign for the establishment.“

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“Some of the best food you will ever have. Great family owned businesses and also great catering. This is our to go place for authentic Egyptian food.“

“This location was absolute 🔥🔥🔥. On entry greeted with excitement. everythibg was great he understood what I was aiming for and made it happen. His recommendations were perfect. Paul if you read this understand that you closed out an amazing birthday week for my little girl and you made it that much better with your service. I will definitely be back and that cauliflower was beautifully done.“

“Fresh, Flavorful, Fantastic!

"The moment I walked in, the aroma took me straight to the streets of Germany. The Döner here is absolutely top-notch—crispy bread, juicy meat, and fresh ingredients. It’s a flavor explosion in every bite. Don’t miss out on this place!"“

“Excellent food and fast service!“

“Great experience eating in there… paratha qeema was delicious, and off-course their Jalapeño Burger is of different level (since i tried it first in their lakewood’s branch) Tried their hookah and experience was great! Just a suggestion, please make it available through out the week 😊, if possible!!!!“

“Arad is an outstanding cashier at Dave’s! Every time I’ve come in, he’s been friendly, professional, and quick at the register. He always greets customers with a genuine smile and makes the checkout process smooth and pleasant. It’s clear he cares about doing a great job and creating a positive experience for everyone. Shoutout to moe and arda for consistently excellent service!“

“I was visiting from Montreal, Canada, and I’m so glad I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken! The food was absolutely amazing—crispy, flavorful, and the perfect level of spice. What really made my experience special, though, was the outstanding service. The manager, was incredibly welcoming, took the time to suggest the best sauces to pair with my chicken, and made me feel like a valued customer from start to finish. It’s not every day you encounter such genuine hospitality!

Now, whenever anyone is visiting Orange County, I’ll be sure to refer them to this spot. If you're in the area, don't miss out—definitely worth the visit!“

“I first ate at The Halal Guys on the street in Manhattan and immediately counted it as one of my go to places to eat. The red sauce adds the right kick to the combo platter, which is almost a two-meal entree. Great portions, great flavors, and worth the fair price.“

“I love there food is very delicious, the service is greart too, this a ghost kitchen is only for pick up food, you can order in the app or come to the place and ring the bell. highly recommend the kibbeh is made in oven no fried. Is more healthy option“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is affordable and delicious with good portions. But what stood out the most was the staff, they’re very friendly. I accidentally ordered Tzatziki Salad when I meant Tabbouleh and they gave me a portion anyway. Just very kind family owned vibes here. Would definitely recommend!“

“This is my go to place 😁“

“Wonderful welcoming and friendly environment, excellent and authentic Turkish food, and they take the time to answer any questions. Highly recommended!“

“Great service and reasonable prices“

“Best Indian restaurant for delicious Indian food in Orange County.“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“Make sure you arrive hungry! The portions are large, the food tasty, and service was excellent. Don't be fooled by the unique design of this restaurant - looks like they added to a fashionable takeout restaurant by adding a chic patio area that looks almost like a full indoor restaurant with full service menu. Takeout in the front and bei restaurant in the back and side.“

“Delicious turkish kebap (kabob), döner, lahmacun, meze plates, and desserts! And the most important dish of all, iskender kebap ("Alexander kebab" )! My favorite! 😛 Just be careful about the pepper 🌶️ that comes with the iskender... it's spicy 🔥

The sitting area is small but comfortable and they also have some outdoor seating.“

“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!“

“Great food! Great service! This is one of the best places for lunch in Irvine!“

“Was super excited to eat at Masala Bae. My friend had been hyping the lunch buffet for so long and we would always talk about coming to eat here on a Saturday morning. Well today was finally the day and it really didn’t disappoint.

We showed up pretty much as soon as it opened and only had to wait about five minutes before we could start getting food from the buffet. It was all so delicious! The standouts for me were the paneer and the chili chicken. I felt like these two dishes complemented each other incredibly well. I am not much of a dessert guy but I also tried the different desserts they had and I enjoyed them very much. Especially the custard with the fruits.

The waitstaff were all amazing as well. Super welcoming and friendly, they made us feel right at home. It was nice and cold inside which was also great because of the heat outside. Would love to come back and eat here again.“

“Excellent Indian food“

“Ikram Bakery – Shawarma, Falafel & Sweets That Keep You Coming Back

If you’re in Orange County and craving legit Mediterranean flavors, Ikram Bakery is where it’s at. Their shawarma is juicy, packed with spice, and wrapped in the freshest bread. The falafel is perfectly crispy outside, soft and herby inside—no dry bites here.

Then there’s the baklava—flaky n just the right amount of sweet. Pair it with their simit, a fresh, sesame-crusted Turkish bagel, or a bowl of sütlaç (Turkish rice pudding) if you’re in the mood for something creamy and comforting, suggest always take some to go.

And if you have time? Sit down with a cup of their Turkish coffee—strong, rich, and the perfect way to end your meal. Tried it once, and now I’m a customer for life. 🔥🥙🥯☕🇹🇷“

“Great service, really premium meat, family friendly, we tried Halal lamb and it was vey delicious, tender and perfectly marinated with great spices.
This place is definitely GoTo when you want to Try Korean BBQ style.
Homemade desserts worth the try“

“The food is great but the customer service sucks! Please train your employees properly. Don’t hire anti-social people!“

“They serve authentic Hyderabadi biryani, but only on fri-sun. I tried first time and def on my next visit to Irvine I will go this place. Also , first Indian restaurant in So cal which serve rumali roti . Must go place if you are in Orange County

Vegetarian options: Hyderabadi biryani and paneer butter masala“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“It's a simple menu, but there is a ton of variety with food choices. This has become our go-to lunch place whenever we're in the mood for something healthy. The food is delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is great. We often see the same staff every time we come and they are always attentive, friendly and professional.

SAJJ is especially great if you're vegan or vegetarian as it's way more than just a salad, there's so many options you can choose that you can have something different every time you come. I also like that you get a lentil soup with your meal too. Such a great added bonus.

The portions are generous, and I often get filled up. If you come during the peak lunch rush, expect to wait a little and you may not find a table. But the line moves quickly and there's plenty of public seating around the restaurant as well.

Signing up for the app got us occasional discounts so you may want to check that out, and we always return regularly, but especially when there's a promotion. Enjoy healthy eating!“

“Great dinner, our server was excellent! Loved the guitarist.“

“We had a fantastic dinner at Mozambique visiting Laguna Beach last night. The decor was interesting and unique. We ordered samosas(delicious) for our appetizer and for our entrees we had the shrimp scampi with Mozambique rice and peri-peri sauce (delicious) and Seafood Malay Curry with rice(outstanding) and for dessert Portuguese Pudding(great) Our server Mariana was friendly and took good care of our needs. She made recommendations with a nice smile. We are sure to be back when we visit Laguna Beach again. Good food and service,“

“Pita sandwiches are bomb!!“

“One of the most sub standard experience! The food had all the same curry base, made from canned ingredients. The staff was unhelpful and did not care at all. The seating is narrow and cheap. The portion size of s horrible. The taste of the food is awe filling because it’s probably microwaved rather than cooked properly. Horrible experience. Stay away! There are better Indian restaurants.“

“Quality meat that’s not frozen. Good ventilation. Prompt service.“
