Halal Restaurants near Downey, CA

“A must try in the area. I had Qabuli Palao Rice and the Afghan yogurt drink and both were so delicious. Can't wait to try other items on the menu! Atmosphere and service was great. Also customers were consistent, you can tell quality was still upheld!“

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

“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!“

“Great friendly service and food.“

“I'm usually not a big fan of lamb, but this place really knows how to prepare it. My favorite dish is definitely the lamb ribs they're incredibly tender, flavorful, and practically fall off the bone. Even someone who doesn't normally enjoy lamb would probably appreciate how well they're cooked here. I also tried the milk tea and really enjoyed it. The regular version was great, although I wasn't a fan of the salty milk tea since it just wasn't my personal taste.
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so seating can feel a bit limited during busy times. However, the food more than makes up for it. The quality, flavor, and tenderness of the lamb keep me coming back. If you're looking for a place that does lamb exceptionally well, this spot is definitely worth checking out.“

“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.“

“This place came out randomly in our search for halal fast food. The food was really awesome specially their wings were sooo yummy 😋. Clean n nice spot but parking is a hassle tho. Will be going back there for sure. Would definitely recommend 👌.“

“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..“

“delicious Uyghur food! my family especially liked the goshnaan. friendly waiter also let us try a piece of cherry baklava on the house, which was also tasty. inside has lots of traditional Uyghur decorations, such as paintings and stringed instruments.“

“Fantastic! I randomly found this place while craving Lebanese food. While it’s not exactly that, I was intrigued by their “where Mexican meets Mediterranean” concept and stopped in. They told me their Mediterranean side is inspired by Lebanese and Syrian cuisine, and I was sold.

I got the chicken shawarma plate. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the rice was great, and I went with the baba ghanoush after they recommended it. It was so good. If you’ve never loved baba ghanoush because the eggplant is overpowering, their version is perfect for you since all the flavors are balanced nicely. The Mexican influence complements it beautifully.

The young woman who took my order told me her mother is the chef, and she made my meal. I’m officially one of her biggest fans and can’t wait to come back and try more. Delicious!

Please support this small, actuallyyy family-owned business. I’d be genuinely devastated if they ever closed. It may not have been the traditional Lebanese meal I originally came for, but bringing Mexican flavors into the mix is a brilliant idea and I’m for it. Yum!“

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

“This spot is a local gem! Extremely delicious and authentic Indo food in our neighborhood. We tried the Kwe Tia’s Goreng which is similar to pad see ew and Perkedel which is like a potato fritter, but our favorite was the Nasi Bungkus, which was a sampling of different curries on top of rice paired with fried chicken. It was so delicious, and the sambals on the side were really spicy, which was a nice surprise! The chef was very welcoming and friendly, and there is tons of space in the dining room to sit down and eat. I’ll definitely be coming back for takeout and try the noodle dishes!“

“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!“

“First time here at Dave’s hot chicken in Lakewood and it was delicious. Amanda H is the cashier who helped us and she was pretty amazing. She was friendly and had real good customer service skills. She made us feel welcomed when we walked inside the restaurant. Thank you for being an AWESOME CASHIER!! You rock Girl!!“

“Went to get a take out butter chicken pizza. When I got home I was amazed how much toppings they added to the pizza. The whole pizza was filled with chicken! They don't skimp on thier meats! The pizza was delicious and my family loved it. It has that good curry spice to the pizza. One of the best indian pizzas I had recently. Keep up the good work, you gained a new repeating customer!“

“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.“

“They have really great flavor for their chicken. Their sauce is top notch. I am not a fan of thousand island but their sauce is really good! I love that it doesn't have pickles. Oh and the seasoning for their fries! Delicious and mouth watering flavors! Their bread is the perfect softness and there is enough chicken for every bite! Even the coleslaw they use taste great! Again, not a fan of coleslaw but theirs is a subtle flavor that just complement the slider sandwich.
I am a big wuss when it comes to spicy food but even their no spice selection is loaded with flavor!“

“Quality Indonesian restaurant with real Kechup. We went for Father’s Day and didn’t have a long wait for seating. The staff was friendly and patient with our ordering and questions about the menu. I had just returned from several months in Indonesia the food at Toko Rame was pretty authentic and had a good taste of Indonesian flavor. I ordered the egg noodles with chicken and ate everything😊 There are some lunch specials and they have many traditional Indonesian drinks. I shared the menu with my friend in Jakarta and she said the menu had many items common in Sumatra. I’d recommend it and try a few different items to get a good variety since it’s hard to decide if you like it based on one dish. They seemed to do a good take-out business while I was there also.“

“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.“

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

“Went in late at night on Sunday 7/13. Dominic was front cashier. Straight up and serious, not in a bad way but a “Get the job done” typa guy. Only downside was they had powered off the shake machine early so no shakes available. Other than that, they had everything else available! Solid location.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Fire!! 🔥 I’ve been wanting to try their chicken for a few years but never had the chance and today I finally did and omg this place really lives up to the hype. The chicken was so good.
Big shout out to the staff on site. They were super friendly and warm. Claudia and Fernando really made the whole experience even better. I love walking into a place where the staff makes you feel so welcome.
I’ll definitely be back! 🙌“

“World Famous Grill is easily one of our absolute favorite spots. You can truly feel the love they put into the place because it's family-owned. The owners are always so welcoming, and genuinely friendly every single time we walk through the door.
The portions here are massive, so you definitely leave full and happy. No matter how many times we come back, we always stick to our favorite: the shawarma plate. It is packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and just hits the spot every single time.
If you want incredible comfort food served by amazing people who treat you like family, this is the place to go. We're always looking forward to our next visit!“

“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!“

“I’m really pleased and delightfully surprised! As someone who loves Indian cuisine, I was scared to order because of some of the one star reviews, but the food was GREAT! I got the medium chicken tikka masala which wasn’t too spicy so i’d move up spice levels if you like spice. The portions are generous and the chicken was tender, sauce was flavorful. The vegetable samosas were large and perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It comes with complimentary mint chutney and tamarind sauce too, which were so good. There is a BOGO deal on doordash which gives you so much bang for your buck. I highly recommend this place since it’s open late, and i’ll definitely be back!

Pickup was easy, and this location is a ghost kitchen so it’s take out only, but there is an attendant to help if you need it. The location was clean, organized, and has parking.“

“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!“

“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“

“Extremely fresh chicken that’s cooked right after ordering , Giorgio Who I think was the owner was very kind and welcoming, and helped us with the menu. The sauce that was in the burrito was spectacular and the fries were nicely Seasoned I honestly regret not ordering the number one but will next time and the mac & cheese looks even better“

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

“Had a great time here with my family! The staff was very friendly and professional, and Ali provided excellent service.

The Karahi was 10/10, and the Namkeen Tikka was also 10/10. We finished with amazing Dudh Patti Chai. Great food, great service, and a wonderful experience. Definitely coming back!“

“First time there and has a good experience 👍“

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

“Nice ambient clean and delicious food“

“great food. very nice staff. food was fast and wonderful! only togo on indoor eating right now.“

“One of the best Pakistani food in the area“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“It's been a minute since I had Dave's, and they recently launched a collab with the animated series X-Men '97. I had to get the special X-Men Meal, which came with a cool mini-figure of an X-Men character. This location offers dine-in, take-out, and drive-thru ordering.

I've always liked the food here, and they've been consistent. The chicken slider I got with my meal was delicious, and just the right amount of heat for a medium level. I do like spicy food, so I may go hot next visit. The chicken tender was juicy and flavorful. The seasoned fries were freshly made, crispy, and hot, as well. For vegetarians, they offer a few items such as cauliflower sliders, mozzarella planks, and more.

I also got a regular fountain drink, which wasn't part of the X-Men Meal. Along with fountain drinks and iced teas, there were also bottled drinks available for purchase behind the cashier.

I dined in for lunch (before noon); it wasn't too busy, and I received my order fairly quickly. After I finished my meal, more customers started coming. There were no more seats for more guests to dine in. The dining area was clean, but only a few tables were available inside, and a few outside (without shade). The umbrellas weren't out the time I visited.

When not packed, the atmosphere is chill, and the art on the walls and ceiling adds a trendy, casual vibe. I think a few more tables could have fit in the dining area, but overall a pleasant experience recently.
