Halal Restaurants near Corona Del Mar, CA

“Had dinner here and the food was honestly the best Indian food I’ve ever had! Staff were amazing and gave us her recommendation and they were spot on and incredibly delicious. Atmosphere was so nice in there and it was such a nice evening eating here. Would highly recommend. Butter chicken was incredible.“

“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“

“It was our first time here

The pastry was fresh and you could taste good ingredients
Service was also great
We really enjoyed our meal
Thank you“

“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.“

“Initial entrance, I was welcomed by our wonderful cashier who was filled with kindness and a lot of enthusiasm. We were also given free Daves hot chicken holiday scratches. Although we didn’t win, it was still fun! The food here is always top notch. Fast service and a heartwarming environment!“

“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.“

“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!"“

“Man! Arda and Nizar are the best! Not only friendly but up and beyond! They explained the whole menu for me without breaking a smile! Man I’ve never had this good of a service at Dave’s hot chicken! I will bring my whole team here to eat out’ thanks guys!“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“Okay, if you’re looking for a spot with a gorgeous ambiance and amazing food, you have to check out Bei!! Truly feels like you’re stepping right into Lebanon because everything is so authentic. Highly recommend the cold mezze dishes like fresh hummus and baba ghanoush that are just SO GOOD and fresh, and then the hot plates like kibbeh and sambusik that are perfect for sharing (great portion sizes here).

For entrees: the grilled meats. They do kofta, lamb chops, ribeye, chicken… every single bite is packed with flavor/perfectly cooked!! That kofta though!!

But back to the ambiance: you sit inside a glass-enclosed patio that’s super cool and gives off this chic, cozy vibe. Perfect for date night or with friends or just anytime you want to feel a little fancy without breaking the bank. Cannot WAIT to come back to Bei!!!“

“Excellent food and fast service!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“This is my go to place 😁“

“This place genuinely has the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Their lunch buffet provides a massive array of incredible options, fit for anyones taste. Everything was fantastic, but I HIGHLY recommending trying the biryani. Not to mention the unbelievable mango lassi to pair with the meal.

The buffet is also clean and I was able to get seated immediately on a weekday afternoon.“

“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. 🔥🥙🥯☕🇹🇷“

“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!“

“Fast, efficient service with 2 meat options within chicken besides others. The pomegranate chicken is our favorite. You can mix and match the options including pita or bowls or rice. Plenty of sides and flavors. We like their spices. Staff is very friendly. Every order comes with a side of lentil soup at no cost. Good options of falafel and pita bites for kids. Good place for lunch. All options halal.“

“If you're looking for a top-tier all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ experience in Tustin, I Can Korean BBQ is a must-try! From the moment we walked in, the service was attentive and friendly, with the staff making sure our grill was always clean and our meats were cooked to perfection.

The meat quality here is excellent—everything was fresh, well-marinated, and flavorful. The premium cuts like the beef brisket and short rib were melt-in-your-mouth good, while the pork belly had the perfect balance of fat and crispiness when grilled. They also offer a great variety of banchan (side dishes) that complement the meats well, and the kimchi was spot on!

What really stood out was the ambiance—modern, clean, and spacious, making it a great spot for both small gatherings and big groups. The ventilation is solid too, so you don’t leave smelling like smoke.

For the price and quality, this is one of the best KBBQ spots in the area. Whether you're a seasoned KBBQ lover or a first-timer, this place will definitely satisfy your cravings. Highly recommend!“

“simple easy menu.
you order from a kiosk, a bit confusing for my first time.

delicious wrap.
i coulda used more lettuce.
plenty of chicken, good heat options.
side of ‘kaleslaw’ was mid.“

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

“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.“

“I went to Mozambique last night for the first time again in years (to see Pearl Jam tribute band!) and the entire staff were so amazing. Everyone from the valet, hostesses, and meal service team were all so lovely and kind. And the food is delicious!“

“Delicious! Loved your vegan plate and mint lemonade! We’ll be back.“
