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“

“Possibly the best noodle soup we had anywhere. Amazing noodles, broth, great ingredients, subtle spices that do not overwhelm and mask the overall taste.

Clean and tidy place, pleasant servers.

Make sure to pay attention to their closing times or call ahead to make sure, as they close the kitchen a little earlier than what they have on their site.“

“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.“

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

“This was our first visit to Cairo Grill and we were very impressed by the quality of the food and variety! You’ll get the most authentic taste of Mediterranean foods there. And the rice pudding is a 10/10! You must try this for dessert! The grocery store is also truly unique and has a variety of products that you will not find anywhere else“

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.“

“Delicious. The Yorker burger was so satisfying.“

“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!“

“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 😕🙏“

“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!

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

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Stopped in while visiting in San Jose. I was looking for an affordable meal that was local and delicious! Everything hit the spot right. Warm fluffy pita, tender juicy meats, fresh dips and sauces, homemade soup to warm my heart and fresh made lemonade. So glad this was a pop in that made me smile.“

“Great food! Can’t wait for the Irvine location to open! It will definitely be worth the drive from San Diego!“

“I’m not usually that kind of person that likes to leave reviews!! But this place is awesome �!! Great food, clean place, third time here and will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area .“

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

“🌯 The Gold Standard for Authentic Shawarma
If you are looking for the best shawarma in the area, look no further than Shawarmaji. This place serves what I can honestly say is the best shawarma I have had to date. The meat is perfectly seasoned and slow-roasted to a juicy perfection, and the wraps themselves are incredibly hearty and filling. Whether you go for the chicken or the lamb, you are getting a massive portion that satisfies even the biggest appetite. It was so delicious that I found myself ordering a second one to eat before I even left the building—it is genuinely that addictive.

🍯 Fantastic Signature Sauces (That You Can Buy!)
The real secret to their success has to be the sauces. They are absolutely fantastic and elevate the entire meal. Their garlic toum is legendary—thick, creamy, and packed with that bold garlic punch that every shawarma lover craves. They also have a spicy shatta that adds the perfect level of heat without being overwhelming. A major highlight for me was discovering that they actually sell their sauces in-store. Being able to take a jar of that toum home is a game-changer for my own home cooking!

⚡ Exceptional Service and Friendly Staff
Beyond the food, the experience was made even better by the people working there. The staff were really friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Even though they were busy, they were quick to cook the food and took the time to offer great suggestions on which wraps and pairings to try. It’s rare to find a spot that balances high-speed service with such a hospitable and helpful attitude. You can tell they really care about the quality of the food and the satisfaction of their customers.

Filling Portions: You definitely get your money's worth here; one wrap is a full meal in itself.

Speedy Cooking: Despite the high quality, they manage to get orders out very quickly.

Pro Tip: Ask for extra pickles—they add a perfect crunch and acidity to the rich meat and sauces.

Authentic Vibes: The flavors stay true to traditional Jordanian-style street food, which is hard to find done this well.

👍 Overall Recommendation
Shawarmaji is a definitive 5-star destination for any food lover. The combination of superior flavor, friendly service, and the ability to buy their amazing sauces makes it a standout. It is the kind of place that you’ll want to visit again and again. If you haven't been yet, make it a priority—you might just end up ordering a second round like I did!“

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

“I am no expert on Pakistani food but the lamb curry I had a week ago was insanely delicious. Spicy, aromatic, very tasty. The ambiance is simple which is OK, too bad I was just traveling, I'd like to go there again. Prices are very reasonable comparing to other places in the area.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Honestly one of the best hidden gems in San Jose!!

New Tandoori Cafe serves authentic Indian and Pakistani food that tastes like it’s made at home. The chicken tikka is perfectly seasoned with a nice smoky flavor, the butter chicken is rich and comforting, super delicioso!🥰

What really makes New Tandoori Cafe special is that “homemade” feel. You can tell the recipes come from tradition, not shortcuts. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to because it feels genuine.

If you’re in the area and craving real, delicious comfort food, definitely give this place a try. Highly recommend! 💐🙏“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Both pasta dishes (Pesto mushroom penne and chicken artichoke fusilli) were delicious. Hardly any mushrooms in the pesto pasta dish, though. Glass of cabernet tasty but too warm. Service was poor, server forgot to put our order in, disappeared for 20 mins. Came back after we sent a busboy after her, and was reminded to order for us. Allow lots of extra time.“

“Dahi Vada was nice with the right amount of red and green chutney topped with boondi. Kal Dosa was also delicious. Standard nariyal chutney. Sambhar tasted nice but was watery. Courteous staff. Nice ambience with bollywood songs in bgm. QR based menu was a hassle“
