Halal Restaurants near Encino, CA

“Awesome spot for lunch (and dinner too I suppose)! I work across the street and come here all the time. The prices justify the more than generous portions, and you’re not left feeling like you got lied to. Flavor is amazing, always on point. If you work around the area, order beforehand and go pick up your food because it can get pretty busy during the lunch rush. 5/5.“

Karina’s customer service is truly top tier. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re considering this venue for your special day—don’t hesitate. It was everything we dreamed of and more!“

“I have been a long time customer of Chutney’s on Pico and Barrington in West La. The food is wonderful and the owner and staff are very pleasant to interact with. Highly recommended when you are in the mood for excellent quality Indian food!“

“Phenomenal food great tasting food and awesome quality!“

“The food was delicious! We got the medium heat spice, which was perfect for me. My son wants to try the hotter one next time. The place was very busy so that might be why none of the tables were clean and they were out of ice. But we will still be back because the chicken was that good 👍“

“I’m big fan of wood fire Pizza. Finally a halal spot. MashaAllah pizza is amazing. I love the crust. And the pizzas are light, so we got a couple options for me and my family.“

“LOVED and will be back! Thank you Sylvia and the team for making such a delicious dinner!! Super friendly, generous portions, plenty of parking and close to bus stops. We had spicy boneless chicken kebab plate based on their recommendation - very flavorful, not super spicy, and huge portion, with plenty of leftovers! We also enjoyed the appetizer combo with tzazkiki, falafel, baba ganoush, and dolmeh. Finished off with takeout baklava that I am enjoying right now! And to cap it off, Sylvia overheard my friend mentioning my birthday and treated us to a tiramisu. We only had a forkful each because were too full but I loved it with my morning coffee. There were quite a few pickup orders while we were there! Highly recommend and can't wait to go there again!“

“the chicken slaps! got the 3 tender combo, and these are by far some of the biggest tenders i’ve ever had (def should’ve got the 2 count). I ordered them with the “spark” seasoning and imo hits the perfect spicy but not too hot level. also ordered the cheese curds which were great as well! plenty of parking which is rarity in LA. 9/10 experience!“

“This restaurant has excellent choice of delicious Lebanese food, beverages and desserts. Every thing is authentically signed (961) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“First time eating Indian food. The meal was excellent! The service was excellent! We will be going back.“

“Everything here is SO authentically Indonesian! I loved it! 🤩👍🏻💯“

“Came on a Thursday night and it was packed. It took 25 mins for my food to be ready, only 3 people working. The staffing didn’t meet TikTok-viral boosted demand. However, the chicken wrap was absolutely delicious. The different sauces that come with it are good and fun to dip, and the fries were flavorful, nice and crispy“

“The food at this place is absolutely amazing and a true delicacy. I had the chicken with red tomato sauce along with the NAM garlic bread. I was impressed with not only the cleanliness of the place but with the amazing food and great service. This place does not disappoint! Enjoy friends!!“

“Samo Pizza absolutely blew me away! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming, the smell of fresh dough in the air, and the service? Next level.

Victor was very, very, VERY helpful — the kind of person who truly cares that you have a great experience. Whether it was helping us decide what to order or checking in with genuine hospitality, he made the visit feel personal.

Now let’s talk about the pizza… hands down some of the best I’ve had. Perfectly cooked, rich flavors, and just the right balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings. You can tell they care about quality. Every bite had that “I need another slice” kind of magic.

On top of all that — the prices were totally fair. Great food at a good price? Can’t beat it.

Highly recommend SAMO Pizza to anyone who loves amazing food and even better service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at this hidden gem, and I have to say, it's hands down some of the best food I've ever tasted. Every dish was bursting with flavor, cooked to perfection, and felt like a true celebration of fresh ingredients. I walked out completely blown away by how amazing everything tasted. If you want an unforgettable meal, this is absolutely the place to go!“

“Sooo good. I’m vegetarian and there’s lots of fun options (potato tacos, breakfast burrito… amazing), but the seafood also always looks super fresh and delicious. Love the atmosphere too— a very casual hole in the wall type place, but everyone is in a good mood and there’s always jazz playing.“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“Well priced, authentic Thai food! Lams looks like a small hole in the wall, but the food is extraordinarily delicious. I ordered 9 meals for a group of friends and on pick up it was ready on time, packaged beautifully and still very warm. Every meal was perfectly cooked and so tasty. Just an incredible, friendly, quality Thai restaurant. I've been ordering from Lams since before Covid and it never seizes to impress. Do yourself a favor.“

“Really yummy food 🥘 love it 😊 and grate Castmer service 👍“

“It’s hard to describe how great of a experience it is when you have Nashville Hot Chicken after a long day of work. Do yourself a favor and get the tenders and enjoy the sauce that comes with it. And if you leave a review they give you a cookie. Go there now and enjoy the spicy goodness each tender will give your tastebuds.“

“This is the second time I have ordered from this restaurant, and the Vizayawada biryani is absolutely delicious. You won't find another place in Los Angeles that serves biryani with such an authentic and flavorful taste. My suggestion would be to make the biryani spicier and add a bit more sauce for an even richer flavor.“

“todo está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“I ordered the beef combo and the taste was absolutely delicious! I’ve tried many Persian restaurants before, but Olive Paper really stands out. Even the rice is completely different and cooked to perfection. The food is amazing, the restaurant is very clean, and the service is excellent. A special shout-out to the cashier — she’s very kind and professional, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Olive Paper if you want real quality Persian food!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“I recently tried Almas Persian pickles, and I have to say, they’re absolutely delicious! The flavor is so authentic—it truly takes me back home. The perfect balance of tartness and spice makes every bite a delightful experience. Whether you're familiar with Persian cuisine or new to it, these pickles are a must-try. I’ll definitely be stocking up on these for future meals!“

“With so many Mexican food restaurants across the valley and on every other street corner, I would put this in my top 10. Good place to bring friends as they also offer non traditional eats as well. Pizza or a Cuban sandwich. yes and they are good too.“

“First time here and it was so worth it. I got the beef steak plate steak was juicy, rice was flavorful, hummus was tasty, and the pita was soft and fresh. The mango lemonade hit the spot too. Alhamdulillah, I was really happy with everything. Definitely recommend! Plus it's halal. I will definitely be back iA.“

“The market is a very pleasant place to be on a Saturday the fruit corner is very good and I buy my best Fuji apples there and best tangerines and peaches. I enjoy the experience a lot. There is a place for kids to run and play and comfortable tables to have a delicious meal bought at the market. I recommend the coffee there too and the bread. Enjoy the experience.“

“As a tourist visiting Los Angeles all the way from India, I wanted to explore some authentic South Asian flavors—and Tawakull Tandoori absolutely blew me away! From the moment I walked in, the warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with the aroma of fresh spices welcoming you in like an old friend.

I ordered the Chicken Biryani, a Lamb Karahi, and of course, some fresh garlic naan—and every bite was bursting with flavor. The tandoori meats are perfectly marinated and cooked to juicy perfection. The spice level was just right, and you can tell everything is made fresh with real love and tradition behind it.

The staff were so friendly and attentive, even offering great suggestions for what to try as a first-timer. I also tried the mango lassi, which was the perfect refreshing finish to an already fantastic meal.

If you're in LA and craving rich, flavorful, and authentic Pakistani food, Tawakul Tandoori is a must-visit. I honestly wish I had discovered this place sooner on my trip—I'll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Highly recommend—5 stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Technically a small grocery store with kitchen. Their meat samosas are to-die for. They have goat, beef, chicken, or potato. They also have what we would call baked empanadas and stuffed puff pastry as well, but our family craves the samosas. Kitchen is on-site and also offers typical Northern-India / Pakistani fare that is mostly ordered "to go" and by the "from there" people, so it must be authentic and region-specific. Chutney for sure is - very different from Anarbagh and very spicy hot-and-sour for the average American taste, so be warned. Everything except samosas/empanadas/pastry is cooked to order - no hot lamps there.“

“Small kitchen serving authentic persian food. Owner makes the food himself. It is a take away place. No dine in. The food is very authentic and generous amount. Would definitely recommend if you want to try Persian food specially if it's for a group of people. Would try again.“

“Taste of Tehran was my first time eating at a restaurant in Tehrangeles, and it was an awesome choice. This was definitely one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I've been to in LA. Everything was so great. And yes, I ate a lot of food on the first day here. I started off with some of the stews that included gormeh sabzi, the gheyme, and ash reshteh, which were all very tasty. The surprise hit to me was the Lentil Quinoa Salad. Seriously, one of the best salads I've ever had. It was sweet, refreshing, and savory all at the same time. No words to describe. And then the meats: the koobideh and soltani plate, just fabulous, along with that lentil rice. I can honestly say that Persians make the best rice out of all Middle Eastern countries! Even the barberry rice was amazing. Never had a rice this sweet and fruity before! Overall, an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Don't be fooled by the looks of this place. It looks like a quick, over the counter order type of restaurant, but the food is top notch. Even Anthony Bourdain has been here! I shot a Youtube video of my experience here, which you can see on my Youtube channel, Rockstar Eater.“

“Amazing 10/10“

“Incredible food with Incredible prices. We had the chicken wrap with fries and fountain drinks. Total bill under $15 each. Seats are hard, unpacked for your discomfort but hey... who cares! A bit noisy too with piped in music. Also took longer than I expected to receive our food but it's scratch made. Some of the moistest flavorful chicken I have ever had. I'll be back!“
