Halal Restaurants near Cupertino, CA

“This coffee shop has a nice aesthetic and a comfortable seating area, but my experience was just average. The coffee was okay—not bad, but nothing particularly special either.

The menu had a decent variety, though some items felt slightly overpriced. Service was polite, but a bit slow during my visit.

It’s a decent place if you’re in the area, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to come back.“

“My family and I are fans of their services. They offer exceptional halal pizza, perfect for a variety of events. Every time I’ve brought their pizza to an event, it has been a huge hit—guests always rave about it and ask where it’s from. Their customer service is truly outstanding. On one occasion, when my baby was asleep in the car and I couldn’t step out, they kindly brought the pizza directly to my car. Their helpfulness and consideration left a lasting impression.“

“Pleasantly impressed by Uyghur Cuisine. Tried skewered lamb, mutton, home made noodle, soup & yogurt dessert. All Good & will certainly revisit“

“The food here is unique and pretty amazing. They make their own noodles and portion sizes are generous. I ate here with my family and we got the abalone big chicken plate, along with the big beef plate. Both come with hand pulled noodles. We also tried the cold black fungus mushroom entree. Everything was delicious, but a big plate meal is sized for two people. We didn't know this going in, so we had plenty left over. Service was also really good. If you're in the mood for halal asian cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We order from here at least every 1-2 months, food for everyone's tastes, fast service.“

“We ordered the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles, beef chow mein, garlic naan, grilled lamb chops, lamb skewers, and baked buns.

As someone from Henan, I thought the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles tasted somewhat similar to the style back home, and overall it was probably the best dish we had this time. The garlic naan was decent, and the lamb skewers were also okay.

However, the grilled lamb chops were disappointing. The meat was way too tough and almost impossible to chew. After we mentioned it to the staff, they kindly removed the dish from our bill, which I appreciated.

Later, we also ordered beef chow mein and baked buns. The beef chow mein was pretty average. As for the baked buns, it did seem like there was more meat filling than before, but the flavor was different from what I remembered. They weren’t as fragrant, didn’t have much juice inside, and overall tasted a bit dry, so they weren’t really to my taste.

Overall, the food here feels different from when the restaurant first opened, and I’m not sure if the chef has changed. Based on the dishes I tried this time, I’d say the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles are still worth trying, but I’d be cautious about ordering the other dishes. I also visited the Mountain View location for lunch, but personally I wouldn’t recommend that one either, since they didn’t have stir-fried noodle dishes and only offered soup noodles.“

“I’ve visited The Halal Cartel many times, and it’s honestly one of my favorite spots for a quick and filling meal. Every time I visit, the place is busy, which says a lot about how popular it is.

I tried the Cartel Chicken Rice Bowl, and it was really good and very filling. The rice itself is very flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I’ve tried rice bowls at several other Middle Eastern places, but the rice here really stands out to me. Combined with the white garlic sauce, spicy sauce, Cartel Special Sauce, and your choice of toppings, it makes a really satisfying meal. You can also customize the bowl and choose all the toppings you want.

The wraps are also really good. They normally come with three toppings, but you can request all the toppings if you want. Rice bowls are usually prepared extremely fast—sometimes in just about 2 minutes. Wraps usually take around 5–10 minutes, and sometimes a little longer when it’s busy.

The Mango Jalapeño Lemonade is a must-try. It’s super refreshing with a great sweet and spicy combination. The Strawberry Lemonade and Blue Raspberry Lemonade are also good.

The falafel is really good, and the masala fries are another favorite of mine.

The place also has both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor area has a playing area with table tennis, snooker, and some other games, which makes it a great place to hang out with friends while enjoying your food.

The management and staff are friendly and welcoming. Even though the place is almost always busy whenever I visit, the service is still pretty good.

Overall, I definitely recommend The Halal Cartel if you’re looking for flavorful halal food, especially if you enjoy rice bowls and wraps. I’ve visited many times, and the food has been consistently good. The flavorful rice is definitely one of the highlights for me.“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, very friendly service!
This is an authentic experience with great Egyptian hospitality and a wide array of delicious options on the menu, including vegetarian and vegan. The seating area is clean and well taken care of. Tea and water are complimentary. The attached supermarket is also well stocked and maintained. The owner/host is very welcoming and helps with ordering. The kitchen staff is also very friendly and easy to communicate with. We’ll be bam to try the Egyptian breakfast they offer all day on Saturdays and Sundays.“

“Me and my family ended up choosing this place due to its close proximity. The guy who took our order was humbled and nice.

The pizza itself has a nice and flavorful pizza sauce which is sweet, the crust also has a nice crunch to it. The veggies were also delightful.“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Delicious. The Yorker burger was so satisfying.“

“We had the shawarma wraps lamb and chicken, they were both really delicious, the best I have eaten in all California middleastern restaurants. The sandwiches were generous size and piled with generous amount of meat. customer service is excellent too I would definitely go back again and again. Wish they had an on-sight sit in options outdoors.“

“Thoughtful gluten free options which are so hard to find. Clean, well run. Insane dessert crepe w Nutella and a ton of fresh fruit. Never would have known it wasn’t gluten-full. Berry smoothie w oat milk too, ‘cause we’re gluttonous. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“

“Absolutely the BEST food and service at Eurogrill! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes sure everything is perfect. The food is outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and made with real Balkan tradition. The Ćevapi (house specialty) are simply the best I’ve ever had! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled to perfection. You can truly taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. If you’re looking for amazing Balkan food and top-notch service, Eurogrill is the place to go. Highly recommend! I will definitely be coming back again and again. 👏🔥 Ketering was perfectly arranged!“

“what makes this unique is that it's HALAL and tastes sooooo clean and fresh. i love it“

“Amazing food highly recommend“

“The best in the whole world. Try it.“

“Affordable Michelin-recommended spot in Palo Alto that’s perfect for a casual meal.

Parking was easy with free street parking. The vibe is fast-casual with limited indoor seating, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas, including overflow tables set up along the sidewalk.

You order and pay at the counter, get a number, and the food is brought to your table.

Everything we tried was delicious. The grilled chicken boti sizzler and chicken tikka thali both had incredibly tender, flavorful chicken. The garlic naan was warm and fluffy, and the mango lassi was thick, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Portions were generous for the price.

Fun fact: Zareen’s was founded by Karachi native Zareen Khan, who even bought a house in Menlo Park to rent to her employees at an affordable rate because of Silicon Valley’s high cost of living. It’s easy to see why this flagship location earned Michelin Guide recognition.“

“Simply amazing food and incredibly awesome staff ❤️👍 My addiction to ho here and eat ❤️❤️❤️ I just wish there was a Dish Dash in South San Francisco or close by 😕🙏“

“It uses to be a different chicken restaurant but I guess they went solo.
Still a really great chicken. Great flavor in both the crust and chicken itself and pretty juicy too.

Their prices are a bit high though, however their chicken is one of the best fast food fried chicken around.“

“I absolutely LOVE the Good Salad! It is one of my go-to places when I’m craving a delicious salad or just when I have a hard time figuring out what I want to eat for lunch! The Good Salad never disappoints and the staff is always very friendly and patient when I am deciding on what salad I want, as if I don’t know the whole menu by heart 😭 Would definitely recommend this place! My favorite salad is the Steak Supreme with avocado added to it 😍“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“One of the kind gem, meat lovers paradise without breaking the bank. The quality of the beef was spectacular and the rotisserie chicken right on point. From what I can see, it appears to be a family business so they take pride on the food and service“

“great place and nice food“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“Ahh SAJJ... Excellent food, fresh ingredients, endless combinations of ingredients. Good size portions, and fast, chipotle-style preparation. One of the best, and tastiest lunch options around!“

“Great fast food and very quick service. I would recommend for a quick easy bite to eat. Love it specially Pleasanton location“

“We got the arabi style chicken wrap with fries, 10 falafel, and the rice pudding with pistachios. The food was super warm, we really loved how crispy the wrap was and how being cut up was easy to share - plenty of food for the two of us to share.“

“Food was Great! Service super Friendly Restaurant very clean, great place to have a bite. i recommend it. we coming back“

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!“

“I love this place, it's my go-to for Pakistani food, making me feel like I'm back home. A friend of mine visited from Texas this weekend. Friday when he arrived I took him here straight, to the North 1st Street and Trimble location. On Sunday before his departure, I took him to the Santa Clara Street location, and he loved them both, agreeing with me that this was amazing Pakistani food, feeling like we were in Lahore.“

“I ate Suqaar at the MCA on Friday and it was my first time eating East African food, and suffice it to say, I look forward to eating here again next week!

The flavors are bold and extremely tasty, but not overwhelming at all. The salad was fresh and the dill dressing was refreshing. And the rice was vibrant and had a nice saffron scent. Finally, the chai was really nice :)

Thanks so much for an awesome lunch!“

“Great fast food and very quick service. I would recommend for a quick easy bite to eat. Love it specially Pleasanton location“

“Service was great, prices very reasonable. Food, yum!😋. We will be back! Chili Chicken was so good!“

“Absolutely delicious food“

“One of the beat if not the beat at all Highly recommended“

“Visited all the way from Manteca, I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding experience during my recent visit. This place offers a truly unique and welcoming atmosphere; the outdoor seating was particularly delightful. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, perfectly complementing the superb service from attentive staff. The thoughtful inclusion of a prayer room was an especially impressive detail. I'm already spreading the word and eagerly anticipate my next visit. Thank you for creating such an exceptional environment.“

“every one have to come and test the food.I highly recommended the Halal express Kebabs.customer service is great. I really like the food.“

“The food and staff were great. But I had to pay $2 for a small thing of ranch. 🫠 like…. Seriously lol“

“This is a nice go to spot but be warned it's not your avg sit down dinning area. Consider more of a ghost kitchen with a name attached. They offer alot of the standard food items but are restricted to certain days for more popular menu items. Service is friendly and fast.“

“The service was great, food was brought out quick and all of it was so delicious. Will be back again.“

“Truly, I do not enjoy writing bad reviews but based on what happened tonight it is warranted. My two allergy kids wanted some pizza, it needs to be gluten free and dairy free. We called them we spoke to two different people at the restaurant they said that's totally okay, we will charge you 18, we're going to do the kids pizza for the allergies needed. When we drove all the way to pick it up for dinner ,they said sorry we tried to call you and tell you but we're going to charge you $50 because we have to make it large. First of all I checked my phone no one called us. They called someone else. Which really shows how unorganized the restaurant is. And second of all they had absolutely no remorse. Espically the manager. In the end I refuse to pay for something that I was lied to. And I feel like they should have still honored the price due to what they told us. It's not my fault that nobody knows what to do there. And it's affecting the customers. I hope the owner and others reads this and teaches his staff to not punish the customer for their own negligence. It just makes me think what else do they do? this is the los gatos location.“
