Halal Restaurants near El Cerrito, CA

“Very delicious, fresh and hot, definitely worth it if your looking for actual spicy chicken. I also love the pickles they have here, i would buy a tub of it. the worker their are so kind and make sure everything is ready and fresh before you get it. Will recommend to anyone if they ask if theirs a good chicken restaurant. It became my favorite place if its my turn to choose to eat out.“

“I had the opportunity to enjoy their food at a recent pop-up restaurant put on by La cucina in San Francisco! their cuisine is Algerian and very delicious! I have never had the chance to experience this particular cuisine and now I cannot wait until they open the Municipal Marketplace in San Francisco's tenderloin neighborhood! expected to open in July, KAYMA will be one of the stalls featured there. absolutely every morsel I tried at that dinner was delicious but they're brined black olives were incredible! hoping they will have them available in jars to take home!“

“Food is 9/10. You may only get 10/10 if you're physically in central Asia. At 2-3 pm the restaurant was almost empty, so there were no wait time at all. Food tasted very close to what it's supposed to be, and a waitress was nice and friendly. Honey cake is 🔥!
Overall, great experience!“

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!“

“I think their breakfast burrito is amazing but the chicken Caesar is okay. If you want to experience the real food here, get the breakfast burrito. I haven't tried the chicken tikka yet and I'm going to go back to try that.

It is closing strictly at 2:30 and they will run out of most of the food earlier. If you want to eat a breakfast burrito, you won't be able to get it at 2 p.m., especially on weekends. Be mindful of the timing“

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!“

“اكل حلال اسعار في متناول اليد تعامل قمة في الذوق“

“Great food and good costumer service“

“This is the best South Asian cuisine I have had outside of my home. The food actually tastes authentic and not watered down for people who do not like spicy food. The goat biryani, chicken biryani, and goat karahi were excellent. If you are in the Oakland area, you have to try this place out!“

“Exceptional flavors and ingredient combinations. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff, and excellent prices. I am only in San Francisco for 4 days and I might come back a second time because the food was so great. Well worth the visit!!!!!“

“Okay wow. My kids love this spot and I never tried it bc I thought it was just whatever but I finally ordered a single tender for myself to see what the hype was all about and it was so good!!! I got mild which is just a tiny kick but not where you need to find water and it was so good! Amazingly crispy even after waiting after I had driven home to eat it and the pickles and super soft slice of bread was the perfect complement. The batter is very tasty with a hint of sweet and the chicken itself felt like great quality and wasn’t dry. Okay I get it now! Will order myself some food the next time the kids ask for this!“

“I have try so many burgers places in SF I think this is my favorite spot now on in SF
I got the double cheese burger it was so big and fresh. The guy really surprised me with the fries I dont like skinny fries but I will come back again.“

“I had a great experience at Pronto Pizza! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was excellent everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“The location is right next to a gas station, so it’s probably not the best spot if you’re looking to hang out with friends or have a date night. But don’t let the location fool you—the moment I pulled up, I could smell the food from the parking lot, and it smelled amazing.

The customer service was exceptional. The gentleman who helped me even gave me complimentary black tea with spices while I waited. It was piping hot and had a really good flavor. My food also came out fairly quickly.

I ordered the chicken shawarma plate, which came with seasoned chicken, rice, pita bread, hummus, and a creamy garlic sauce on the side. Everything was hot, flavorful, and well seasoned without being overdone. I was a little surprised that the chicken was shredded since I expected larger grilled pieces, but it was still delicious and had plenty of flavor.

The hummus was especially good—it honestly tasted homemade—and the creamy garlic sauce went perfectly with everything. Overall, the great service and delicious food definitely made up for the location. I’d come back for the food and hospitality.“

“Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking into this family owned establishment, The environment was clean, and the people were very kind. The menu was exceptional with great prices. I got the chicken Marcella, the naan, and the salmon which was the daily special. The chicken Masala was perfectly spiced. I got the mild because I can't eat spicy food. I dipped the naan in it and it tasted perfect. The naan was big and fresh and its own separate bag, so I was able to take it home and munch on it later now the salmon was delicious. It was super crispy and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning was complementary to the fish. it was wonderful to be able to talk to the Chef and get to know the people that cooked my food. The chef that's been working there. He's on the establishment for a while and he's been cooking for over 40 years. He also told me that he is from New York, which definitely shows in his food because this Indian Pakistani restaurant is definitely authentic. I will drive an hour and a half to come back here again. Definitely would recommend them for Catering or a nice dinner date.“

“Absolutely stunned at the quality of food here! 5/5 stars for everything. My husband and I ended up getting the pani puri shots, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, beef brisket pizza. For drinks we had a dragonfruit mocktail and chai. Taste was the gold standard, and service was super attentive. Shahil is such a humble and hardworking guy, doing great things for the San Fran area and halal food scene all over.“

“Falooda and I must say that it was so rich in taste , flavours & very authentic.“

“We never come to The City without a trip to Aicha. Wonderful little spot with fabulous service & delicious food. Highly recommend.“

“The best food I have had in a long time! Great taste and excellent customer service. A must try !“

“Their food is some of the best I’ve had in quite some time. We stumbled upon this corner restaurant by accident and had zero regrets. Our favorites are the chicken and waffle burrito and their French toast. Their French toast is the best I’ve ever had, soft and flavorful. You must check this place out!“

“Try the newest special the Cajun Tropical Wet Burrito! It’s so yummy and amazing! 😋I highly recommend this restaurant. Also, great customer service and quick service. Great quality with great prices! 😉“

“Visited the vault for the first time yesterday w my bride. We were helped by both our Server, Chris, & a phenomenal manager, AJ. The food, ambiance & entire experience on Valentine's Day were top notch. The mushroom risotto w an addition of a lobster tail recommendation by Chris was out of this world amazing. My now favorite dish ever. I will have that again on my next visit. Great job Vault! 💰🏆🎖️“

“The chicken halal plate from this place is Beyond DELICIOUS! If you like halal food, you won’t be disappointed eating here. It’s pretty good. The block it’s in can be sketchy at times, so practice caution when parking, stay alert and quick purchasing. They also have really good herbs, seasonings and products to purchase.“

“Ordered on a whim and so glad I did. The bowl was delightful. The steak delicious and I’d definitely come back here. I’m going to be thinking about this meal for a while! Finally have somewhere to go when my husband goes to cheesesteak shop.“

“I love, love this little spot. They are fairly new to the area and I love them. Not only is the food always fresh, and packed with tons of flavor, and deliciousness, the staff is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. This is my new lunch favorite. The prices are phenomenal, especially for the area.“

“Great food lovely location“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“I ordered garlic parmesan and BBQ wings and a side of garlic fries. The food was so GOOD! You can taste how well the wings are prepared. They only thing that I didn't like was that the skin fell off the garlic parm wings. That was disappointing.The garlic fries were great and the BBQ sauce on the wings were delicious. I would recommend this place!“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“Food is good, potential to be great but currently it is extremely greasy and oily (especially the aloo gobhi and baingan bharta). Still, I recommend the spice roasted pineapple, a creative dish. Very comfortable, nice atmosphere and place to sit, and great service.“

“The food is phenomenal. Everything, from the sauce, the salad, the rice, the chicken, the beef, the burger, was phenomenal. Even though the prices are not cheap, they deserve it. If the tomatoes and salad taste good, that means everything's good, and they care about everything.

After we're done, we would put that whole place out. We don't have to clean; they clean everything for us. What is the service?“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 stars) Pizza Twist is a flavor fusion haven! Amazing Indian-inspired pizzas with vegan, vegetarian, and halal options. The taste is a masterpiece, and the service is exceptional. Highly recommended! 🍕🌶️👌“

“Such a great experience eating at this restaurant. The service was top notch and the pizza was to die for.“

“Heck yes it’s good! I’ve had this from time to time at middle eastern restaurants and never knew what it was called. Got my a few days ago and it’s amazing. Definitely check it out.“

“Best food in town. If you love Indian food then you should go and try their authentic Indian food. I am pretty much sure that you won’t be disappointed. I give them 5 out of 5.“

“Marhabah Cafe brings a wonderfully warm and authentic taste of Yemeni coffee culture straight to Oakland. The cozy, inviting atmosphere is the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends. From their richly spiced traditional Qishr to exceptional pastries, every item is crafted with incredible care. I will absolutely be stopping by again soon.“

“What an amazing night at Chez Mansour! We went to watch Terga Group, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The music was incredible, the ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, and the food was delicious.

On top of that, the owner is extremely kind and made us feel right at home. You can really feel the passion and care behind this place. A perfect spot for a great evening with live music, good vibes, and amazing food.

Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Simurg Bakery provides great baklava to the ones missing a professional taste in USA. Go for it!“

“I was there 7/19, I was beyond impressed with how the Egusi soup is beyond amazing with the use of olive oil with minimal palm oil.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Egusi Soup and fufu. The jollof rice was amazing also. I will be back before leaving the area. VERY GOOD SERVICE, FOOD, ATMOSPHERE!!!!“

“It was truly a great place to sit and eat at. The food was amazing and delicious. I recommend this restaurant and will be going back. However, there is always room for improvement, the owners family or friends were sitting in the restaurant and was sometimes noisy with kids running around and mess with toys. Beside that it was all good.“

“A hole in the wall restaurant with no fills bell or whistles but the food is outstanding. And that’s the best authentic food in the area. Food has been consistent for the past 20 years that I and adult children have been eating here. Kuddos“

“Staff is friendly and the lunch box wall decor is cute. Parking will NOT be in your favor tho.“

“I had an amazing experience here! The people are the sweetest and the food is so tasty. They have a great selection and are very accommodating to your likings. It is also very clean and comfortable to be at. They also offer halal and vegan options which is really sincere and genuine of them. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: They love children here and are so sweet to them!“

“Authentic Afghan cuisine. Try their chapli kabobs. Perfect blend of spices, beef and texture. One of the best I have tasted in the US. Comes with a generous portion of rice, bread and side salad. Also give their Bolani a try. Excellent quailty. Owner is very gentleman.“
