Halal Restaurants near Downey, CA

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!“

“I have been coming to this establishment for a couple years now. It’s one of our faves and we find ourselves here quite a bit. It’s family owned and the meat is halal/zabiha. It’s located in Downey and the space inside has a decent amount of seating. They cater as well and I am pleased to say their catering food is as good as eating it inside the restaurant.

My fave items are :
⭐ Chapli beef kabob- it comes with rice or bread
⭐ Mantu (meat filled dumplings) with lentils on top
⭐ Potato Bolani- potato filled paratha (bread)
⭐ Qabuli Pulao- rice with lamb shank
⭐ borani banjan- egg plant dip

Def check it out if you’re in the area!“

“I am now permanently coming to this location, food was much better than the bell location. The kabobs combo was genuinely the best plate I have had in LA. High five to the amazing cook here!! Highly recommend it. I didnt even get to take a picture of the food because it was so good I just devoured it 😁“

“Super tasty & halal 👌 highly recommended!“

“I stumbled across this restaurant with my dad randomly, and it quickly became a weekly stop. I like getting the rib and shank (+grilled) rice dish + extra grilled ribs. Texture and flavor is amazing. I brought my mom another time and she was surprised as to how authentic the rice was to the region this dish was from.

Highly recommended! It's a little pricey but absolutely worth it. I've been having trouble finding food my dad will eat so I'm incredibly grateful that my dad actually likes this place. The rice dish comes with lamb soup, pickled onions and carrots that are all refillable as well.“

“YOU HAVE TO TRY ZAHID’S HALAL FOOD!! The best halal food I have ever had. Juicy chicken and lamb with perfectly seasoned rice.. goes great with the white and hot sauce. The service was great, my food was prepared exactly to my likings. Food and service are incomparable to other halal spots. Don’t just take my word for it, try it yourself ;)“

“10/10 Most delicious food with friendly customers service 😋 highly recommended 👌 👍“

“Decided to stop by here on the way to LA after a delicious ice cream treat. We ordered quesadillas and their tacos. The food was spot on and this is after us having some ice cream. The food is prepared outside on the parking lot in front of the store. I love their green sauce and they’re very generous with their cilantro and onions. The service was amazing as the young lady made great recommendations and she was very nice. The ambience is nice because you have a choice of sitting outside on a nice day or if it’s cold you have the choice to sit inside the marketplace.“

“Great friendly service and food.“

“To be fair, I only gave 3 stars for the food because I had diarrhea after I got home. My wife was ok but she always had a stronger stomach. The food and drinks were actually very good. I like the decor and music and the service was above average. There are ample parking in the back.“

“10/10 very tasty food pilaf - the best“

“I had a delightful Iranian breakfast at Cafe de Alley in Los Angeles. The owner is a very friendly gentleman who made my experience truly special. The food was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my visit. I highly recommend this cafe and will definitely be returning!“

“Excellent Biryani, Gola Kabob, Dubai Smash Burger, Chapli Kabob, Chicken Kharai, Bihari Kabob, Gola Kabob, Naan and Falooda Sweet Drink…. Also they do lots of catering with excellent service.“

“Food is delicious and big portions lots of food I like it 👍“

“Second time here! First visited after a show at Teragram Ballroom. Here tonight for the Month Bar which is right next door. If you’re from around here or there for shows, please check this place out!

Beautifully crispy chicken and their loaded fries are fantastic. Will be back soon to try new items.“

“I was there in California from another state. We ordered jalapeños beef burgers, halwa puri platters, beef seekh kabobs with rice platter, masala fries, mango lassi and sweet lassi. Each and every single food item was fresh and hot, seekh kabobs were so juicy and perfect flavor, cholay were soft and with some light gravy to eat with puri. Aalo were soft yet some small size chunks in plate with light gravy, and halwa that you just don’t want to stop eating. My kids are very picky eaters but they loved each and every single thing we ordered from this restaurant. Beef burger was so yummy that my daughter kept ordering the next time we went there again. We ended up going 3 times in our 1 week trip. We tried their fried chicken the third day, oh my gosh it’s just one of the best fried chicken ever. We were so glad that we were able to find a halal restaurant with all the choices at one place for our kids and adults. Last but not the least, their prices were very reasonable and the staff was very nice and friendly.“

“We had the pleasure to go to Cloud Naan Urban BBQ . We received the excellent service..By far it was the best BBQ, we have had. We highly recommend Cloud Naan for excellent customer service..“

“Omg the food was so good I loved everything. It was seriously delicious I will definitely be coming back. The hummus was amazing, the salad was not only fresh but a type I’ve never had before. The flavors and ingredients had me like what is this I was honestly blown away at how tasty a salad can be. The fish was cooked perfectly and the rice was on point. All the sides were so good too I honestly can’t find anything wrong. You can really tell the cook puts love into the food. The staff was also very kind and welcoming. I really hope it’s just as good next time I come. Their jamaica tasted super fresh and natural. My kid loved it too!“

“The food is pretty good, with a huge variety and different ways to dine in with chicken. I especially love their sauces, its to die for. I loved the service as well, I had a worker named Rory who brightened my day with small talk. Not only that they were able to get my order up fast and easy with no complications and even after giving me my food, a big 'ol thank you and have a nice day from Rory made me feel comfortable in the space. All and all amazing place to dine for fast food- would try again!“

“I got the Tikka masala pizza and garden salad as takeout and everything was delicious. It was some of the best pizza I've ever had and the salad was a larger portion than I was expecting for $8. I arrived about a minute before the order was estimated to be done and I had to wait about two minutes before it was ready. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“The place has authentic Indonesian taste on their food. Expect self-service and to-go, but the place has a good seatings lay-out if you want to eat there, and you’ll be satisfied with the food. All food we ordered came out great, fresh, tasty. Try their fried duck, corned beef fried rice, prawn stinky bean, tempeh mendoan, and fried chicken.“

“The food was delicious, and the flavors were the same as when I tried them in Indonesia. I would recommend for anyone looking for Halal traditional and freshly made and super delicious Indonesian dishes. I suggest getting the ‘Sate Campur’.“

“Stop by for a quick lunch, Dave's great as always I've tried different locations and its always been a pleasure

Tried something new this time, wanted to try the hot moz but sold out!

So the regular top loaded fries instead, it was great, very well seasoned, very flavorful,

Recommended!“

“The food was really good, and the prices for decent. When we got there, it was only my friend and I. Though as the day progressed a lot of people came and went. The service was excellent and the server as well as what I think could have been the owner or the manager keep coming and asking if there was anything that we needed. I would definitely recommend this place to go and eat.“

“Tried Dave’s Hot Chicken and it was really good!
The chicken was super juicy with a crispy coating and strong flavor. I got medium spice, which was perfect🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️

Sliders were the highlight, fries were just okay. A bit oily, but definitely worth it for the taste.

Overall, a solid spot for spicy chicken 🍗🔥“

“This place is amazing. Great ambience and all workers were kind and gave Me great customer service. Honestly this place has the best chicken sandwiches and tenders hands down better than raising canes.
The milk shake is phenomenal way better than in n out. I definitely recommend y’all to try this place at least once.“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“For that whole cooking, check out this place. The hospitality is straight from the motherland trust me you will not regret it if you’re looking for fine, dining and white table cloths, you may want to get it to go otherwise get comfortable and enjoy the loving hospitality of this place.“

“honestly my favorite hot chicken spot. super glad to have one within 5 minutes of me!“

“Delicious meal. I ORDERED the kafta kabob to go and was amazing....it totally met my expectations. Generous portion, the garlic sauce was so fresh, salad, hummus everything on the dish was so tasty.... great value for your buck. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone searching to eat authentic meditation food. Can't wait to visit their meat market next door.

Thank you so much A+“

“We first found Big Al's Pizzeria on IG. All of their pizzas caught our eye because of the unique flavors that they serve. We know that often times when you see something on IG and go experience a place in person it may not be as expected. That was NOT the case with Big Al's Pizzeria. WOW!! Can't even tell you how much they exceeded our expectations when it came to the flavors and textures that they deliver. You can tell that they use High Quality, Fresh Ingredients and take pride in their creations, especially with everything being homemade!! I know a lot of people say that it takes a while to receive their pizza but we can tell you IT IS WORTH THE WAIT AND CALORIES!! The combinations on their pizzas are next level and so fun and unique! The pizza dough has the perfect fluffiness, chewy texture and flavor. The wings WOW! Definitely in our top 5 of favorites! So crispy and flavorful! OOh plus the Brisket Sandwich and the bread they use... ufffff!!! Don't forget about Dessert! Even if you fill up on pizza you better at least take a slice home with you because IT IS WORTH IT!! They are large, creamy, flavorful and just AMAZEBALLS! We got the Tiramisu and it was NEXT LEVEL! Everything is OUT OF THIS WORLD and we can't recommend them enough!“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

“BETWEEN THE REVIEWS w/ Rodney S

Q) So, Rodney, where did you go for lunch?
A) To Pak.

Q) 2pac?! The rapper?!
A) No, to Pak. I went to Pak Halal in Artesia.

Q) Oh, I see. Was this your first time visiting?
A) Yes, Rodney. A few Muslim gym buddies o' mine kept recommending Pak Halal, so of course I had to give the place a shot.

Q) What did you order?
A) Being my first time, I gave the Special Dishes display a thorough perusing.

Knowing I wanted a beef or mutton entree, after much thought & deliberation, I went all in on Pak Halal's Beef Nihari.

Q) Rodney, how was the Beef Nihari?
A) Spiced tender beef, swimming in flavorful broth. I enjoyed the Beef Nihari. I prefer a solid amount of fat to meat, and the Beef Nihari had just what I was looking for. Ample portions, with enough to fill up on. Speaking of filling up, the ginormous Garlic Naan provided a lot of garlicky carbs, made all the more better when soaking up with the Beef Nihari broth

Q) How was the service, and what are the seating arrangements?
A) Rodney, the service was good. The wait wasn't unreasonable. Being a small deli, there is a table or two inside & outside. Pak Halal is more an order ahead, grab n' go eatery. The railing outside Pak Halal acts as a standing communal table, in which I used to dine on my meal.

Q) Rodney, would you recommend Pak Halal?
A) Absolutely, Rodney! The food was great at Pak Halal, and when I'm in a hurry and not looking for a sit-down restaurant experience, I know I can head over to Pak Halal and order something to go, or enjoy a quick meal on the railing, before life's troubles beckon me, elsewhere“

“One of the best places for Indian food I have ever eaten and been to. We ordered Palak Paneer, Chicken Makhani, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, all of them tasted really good and authentic! And also 5 stars for the service. Highly recommended!“

“Making the most out of this Covid-19 situation for pick-up. Order was secure, exact, and made fresh. They were backed up as when I first got there they were a little short staffed as The Friday Dinner rush was starting, but they kept their cool, their extra hand showed up, and they did well. Just make yourself visible so they got your name assuming you pre-ordered for pick-up. The short wait will not disappoint. And they definitely didn't forget my white sauce - always my biggest fear as it's truly the essence of this place!“

“Such an Amazing Hole in the wall spot , I ordered a protein style double Wagyu burger and a Classic Jalapeño Double with extra Sauce . The vibe felt like a Classic burger joint from the 90s which I loved. Will try the chicken next . Extremely Clean an Giorgio hooked my up with extra fries on the house . Definitely coming back“

“Khansaab (previously Shor) in Hawaiin garden is an absolute gem. The food was incredible, and the ambiance and hospitality were even better, truly a Michelin star-worthy experience.

We ordered mango lassi, chicken psao, malai tikka, and Peshawari chicken with garlic naan (the highlight of the night with mouthwatering flavors), and finished with knafah- everything was outstanding and full of authentic Pakistani flavor.

Special recognition to Ali for the warm, and kind hospitality that made us feel like family. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Delicious food a must try. Outstanding customer service. The cashier was nice and helpful. Super clean. ❤️👍🤗 Highly recommended 👌 🌮“

“This place rocks. The pizza is awesome and how cool is it that they offer so many vegan options (I’m not vegan but my partner is). Big recommend.“

“chicken strips...even the mild will set you on fire!“

“One of the best Pakistani food in the area“

“Their food is divine! Their Dave's sauce is so delicious!! The seasoning on their fries, chefs kiss! The combination of the flavors are pure ecstasy in the mouth. I love that the original/no spice still has a lot of flavor.

This location is a bit small compared to other locations. The workers seemed to be a bit overwhelmed by the many orders coming in.

But I would 1000% recommend this place. Actually I should thank their Fallout promotion. I tried it for the first time in my life because I wanted a stimpak and I immediately fell in love.

Yes, there are many chicken places but this one is one of the top, high ranking places“

“Great food and good service“

“Friendly staff, good food“
