Halal Restaurants near Encinitas, CA

“Indian/Nepalese cuisine is one of my favorite cuisines. I am South African and grew up eating eating variety of traditional curries and stews. I travel a lot for work and have had the fortune of trying some of the best Indian restaurants in the nation, including dozens of places in SoCal. Everest Himalayan Cuisine is by far, the best restaurant I've ever been to. This cozy casual restaurant opened in November originally for take-out. I am a big fan of dine-in, so I was excited to find out that they recently opened for dine-in. I came with my best friend (we're always looking for new favorite restaurants). We decided to get a couple things to share. Started off with the Lamb Momos. They were such a wonderful treat. For Entrees, we went with the Lamb Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken with Cilantro Garlic Naan. While eating our Momos, an adjacent table received their Tandoori Chicken and Lamb. It smelled and sounded so good, we decided that we would have to order more (we also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Tandoori). Our food came, and when I dipped my Naan into the sauce, I nearly cried it was so good. It reminded me of a better version of my grandmas famous Tikka Masala. It's was then, that I knew this would become my new favorite place. It was so flavorful and luscious. All the meat was so tender. The Naan was supple, while pillowy and stretchy at the same time, (clearly proofed perfectly). Every dish we tried was the best iteration of the dish I've ever had. I usually order my food quite spicy (9-10), but if you like a flavorful warm heat, get a 5 to 7. We ordered another order of the Cilantro Garlic Naan to get every bit of the sauce. I know I'll be back soon. I really would like to try more of their dishes and their desserts. They also have a nice Lunch Special, I'd like to try. Thank you for sticking around, and reading to the end. I hope more people discover this new place; there's nothing like it, especially in San Diego.“

“Red Chickz’ chicken sandwich is amazing. The seasoning is habit worthy. Sooo tasty! The chicken, the fries, the cheese curds - everything is delicious. Even the cauliflower bites have the seasoning on it. I get the ‘Cool’ style - which basically means all the seasoning but no heat. But that’s just me. It’s amazing.

The owner, Mike, is super friendly. I see him come out to talk to people all the time. He spoke with my husband and I for quite a bit. I’m so impressed at the ingredients he uses and the care he takes in hiring certain employees and then how he treats them. He seems very conscientious.

I love that about this place.
Come try it!“

“Great service, and a nice atmosphere. Excellent lunch specials at only $8.99. Choice of two entrées, served with naan and a drink. Delicious food at an unbeatable price.Overall experience was excellent. Will definitely be back!“

“These guys definitely know what they're doing with their combinations here! About the beef and chicken bowl and it was a really lovely combination! The rice and hummus and tabouli and made really go well together! Every item on its own is quite decent, but when you mix it all up and have it in one bite it's just beautiful!
Didn't even need the garlic sauce!

Also got the chicken egg roll on the side. It was nice and crunchy and the filling on the inside was flavorful. They cut it into two so you can see what's on the inside as well. So that's kind of cute. I were surprised how it didn't taste as greasy and oily even though it was fried. Definitely recommended.“
