Halal Restaurants near Encino, CA

“December 21, 2024

I was searching my app for an affordable mediterranean spot and this place came out so I gave it a try. I thought their food was good because it had a good rating online and their food looked good in the pictures but I was wrong because their food wasn't good, it was actually super great! The cashier, manager, and server were super nice and attentive and it costed me about almost only $30 for two skewers, salad, and hummus.“

“We had the absolute best experience at our wedding venue, and it was all thanks to Karina and her incredible team. From start to finish, Karina made the entire planning process feel seamless. Her communication, professionalism, and attention to every little detail were unmatched.

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!“

“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“

“EVERYTHING!! LiLi is a wonderful hostess and the food is delicious! This Dutch girl is very happy to have found herself here!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I come here every time I’m in LA. I don’t need a menu, and a lot of times I don’t even need to put my order in. These guys are awesome. They only see me once a month but have my entire order memorized when I walked in. Chicken Tikka Masala, Buttered chicken, 2 mango drinks, Spicy chicken Biriyani rice, and 2 orders of garlic naan.

We don’t even wait 10 minutes before all our food is already out in front of us. One of the best Indian spots I’ve ever been to in the US!“

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

“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!“

“Dave's Hot Chicken delivers bold flavors and juicy, perfectly spiced chicken that hits the spot every time. The heat levels offer something for everyone, from mild to seriously spicy. The sliders are a must-try, especially paired with their signature sauce and crinkle-cut fries. Great for a quick, satisfying meal with a kick“

“Excellent fish tacos!! I grab them whenever I get the craving! Best days to go are on Wednesdays when they are only $2! It can get a bit crowded on that day but just know that they've gotten the Fish Taco Wednesday operation down to a science so they get you in and out pretty quickly!
Do be prepared to bus your own table, the spray is on the trash!
Do order at least 2-3 because they're not very big!
Do add the pickled onions and chipotle cream that they have in the salsa station“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food with lots of choice to pick from. 👍👍👍“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“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.“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“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!“

“Great place to spent with family and friends 🌹🙏🏻“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Great people! Great pizza! Great prices! Really felt like the Italian place I love in Little Italy in NYC. Intimate atmosphere with awesome service!“

“I had one of the best lunches of my life at Tehran Restaurant in LA—an experience I'll never forget! The food was absolutely exceptional, perfectly prepared and full of authentic flavors. Ms. Simin, the lovely owner, made me feel like a VIP with her warm and attentive service. I truly loved every moment and can't wait to visit again soon. Thank you for such a memorable dining experience!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a quick stop to get some Mediterranean food large portions child friendly I do recommend“

“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.“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

“i love this restaurant! went here a week ago with the whole family and couldn't help coming back again 😋. all the food that we have had is excellent, such as beef qorma, land and chicken afghani plates (chicken is best personally), mantu, ashak, and of course the bolani. it all tasted home cooked and the lady that owns the place and operates it all by herself is very very nice, making me feel at home, as if she were my own grandma. i would highly recommend for afghani food lovers and people who have never had it before. afghani food is highly underrated, one of the best cuisines out there, i would encourage anyone living in or near the valley to try this place.“

“Amazing 10/10“

“Love the food, service and atmosphere“

“excellent food, affordable menu“
