Halal Restaurants near Costa Mesa, CA

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“This is my go to place 😁“

“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
It was more than our expectation
Food was delicious, you could taste home made food
The pastry was fresh and you could taste good ingredients
Service was also great
We really enjoyed our meal
Thank you“

“Great Halal Food options in LA. Delicious food. Loved their Cheeseburger and special sauce. A must have if you ever visit this place.

The only thing off was their ambience and atmosphere. Extremely dull and off-putting. No modern vibe of a cafe.“

“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!“

“Food is excellent, excellent service , they take the time to make sure food is 100 % perfect and flavors are amazing!!!!!“

“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 food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first visit!“

“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.“

“Great food. Very Happy I stopped there for dinner. I will be going back there again soon.“

“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!“

“It was truly a great experience. The portions are very generous, and the staff are respectful and understanding.“

“We ordered the Gully Smash, it was 10/10
Do visit them and show them some love please. I do not know why they didn't show up on my search for halal restaurants to eat on google. But what a happy little surprise, we found them while looking for Mongiello's (another halal place at the same location)

Dietary restrictions: Halal food available.“

“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!!!!“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“Really good love the place“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We came in on a Wednesday around 6:45. We waited about 20 mins for a table. We started with the roti and calamari both were delicious. For entrees we ordered the nasi goreng fried rice which was my favorite dish. Highly recommend! The hainan chicken was good too. The sauces it came with were subtle, I was hoping for more flavor since the fried rice was so flavorful. Our table was wobbly and it was a bothersome while eating but a server came by to refill our waters and noticed the table was wobbly and pushed it against the wall for us and that fixed the issue.“

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

“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.“

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

“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 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 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 service and food“

“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. 🔥🥙🥯☕🇹🇷“

“I love this place and honestly besides the prices being a little steep, I like how everything is prepped and handled. I love how they don’t haggle me for having my bike inside the building compared to other fast food places.

Kid-friendliness: If you treat them right, they will too.“

“Love this place. Their Tabouleh is the Best.I am so happy I only live one mile away.“

“I ordered the chicken and filet mignon Platter and to my amazement, the meat was so delicious. First time ordering and the bread and sauces are divine. Ran into and acquaintance and asked for recommendations. Fantastic hummus, salad was fresh. Rice was done perfectly. Fast service with a smile.“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“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!“

“It’s bad the lady is so rude, she don’t know how to handle the customers“
