Halal Restaurants near Fountain Valley, CA

“first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn’t taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don’t usually drink black coffee unless it’s very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it’s good but on the pricier end.“

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“Great hole-in-the-wall place to get authentic, freshly made Turkish food. The food is not heavy, but nutritionally diverse, and satisfying - it's a great alternative to McDonald's or Costco food after visiting Costco or Costco Gas.“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“My wife and I ordered the Mediterranean Bowls. I ordered the chicken schwarma and she ordered the chicken Kabob. Staff was very friendly and even offered us Turkish Tea to taste when we were done with our food. We're not from the area but would definitely eat here again when we're back in the area.“

“BEST BEST EVERYTHING!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Ikram Grill. The food was absolutely perfect — clean, delicious, well-prepared, and served warm just the way it should be. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care and pride. The portions were incredibly generous; there was so much food that we happily took some home with us, and it was just as good later.

The service was beyond perfection. Truly outstanding. The employees were attentive, kind, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. They made us feel genuinely taken care of, not rushed, not overlooked — just appreciated as customers. Anything you could possibly want from an eatery or restaurant, Ikram Grill had it to offer.

This kind of work is not easy. It’s hard work, demanding work, and yet they make it look effortless. That alone speaks volumes about the people behind this place and the standards they hold themselves to. The care, consistency, and effort show in every detail — from the food to the service to the overall experience.

No one asked me to write this review. I’m doing it entirely on my own, and I’m truly happy to do so. Ikram Grill deserves the recognition. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. I will absolutely be back and will gladly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“Yes and yes! Great menu! Will be back!“

“We arrived earlier than the food truck and almost missed them, but luckily right as we were looking for dinner alternatives they pulled in! Absolutely delicious, we ordered the 24" chicken shawarma meal with extra pickles. The chicken was super delicious, and the fries really hit the spot. Highly recommend!“

“First time ordering fried chicken from this place.
I ordered 24 pieces of the legs and thighs.
I wanted to order all legs. But unfortunately not possible.
The chicken tasted really good and crispy.
Though my family prefer the legs more, so ended with lots of thighs leftovers, but all the chicken legs were gone.
I wish they'd allow the option of just chicken legs like Popeyes. I'd come back more if there's that option.“

“The guy who makes the Manti and the Samsa wasn’t there. That made me a little sad but our food came out really fast. It was a very homely atmosphere. The food literally almost caused me to ascend. The food was incredible. I have no complaints.“

“I always get the combo over rice with white sauce. The meat is always consistent and I enjoy the food very much. The restaurant is clean and the employees are great. Good service overall at the Garden Grove location.

Parking: Park anywhere it is available.“

“GUYS, if you haven’t tried it, you are MISSING OUT . Soooooo goood.“

“I've been in search for a place that serves good quality desi street food and snacks and this place did not disappoint! I had their pappri chat, kabob pizza and freezi mint drink and all was so satisfying! Everything was high quality and taste! Highly recommend if you're craving Pakistani cafe type of food and drinks!“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“I won't let one weird employee knock my rating down of this location. Usually the customer service is pretty good, but on this day 11/29/25 @ 1030pm The younger guy working the cash register had zero customer service skills. He seemed annoyed at the very first interaction and rushed me through my order. Maybe that's just his personality because he seemed to be like that with everyone. Gotta work on that for real“

“Food is excellent, excellent service , they take the time to make sure food is 100 % perfect and flavors are amazing!!!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Solid! I liked the chicken over the burger. Nice bread. Seems better quality than normal burger joint. Good fries too. Maybe the sauce containers are maybe a bad fit? Ranch opened up in the bag lol. Great cashier also he was chill and helped me order. Thank you!“

“The food here is awesome. The vibe is pretty great too. It was a bit empty when we came for a 6:30 dinner, but they were setting up a band for later. Only downside is the road noise, but otherwise a perfect evening. We ordered hummus, fried mushrooms, lamb kebab, and beef combo kebab. Super tasty, and very tender and juicy meats. Definitely will come back!“

“Excellent food and fast service!“

“Great workers great food 10/10“

“Great experience eating in there… paratha qeema was delicious, and off-course their Jalapeño Burger is of different level (since i tried it first in their lakewood’s branch) Tried their hookah and experience was great! Just a suggestion, please make it available through out the week 😊, if possible!!!!“

“The food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first visit!“

“Pretty good, but kind of overrated.“

“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.“

“Great service and reasonable prices“

“Great food. Very Happy I stopped there for dinner. I will be going back there again soon.“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“I had a great experience at this pizzeria! The portions were generous and everything I tried was really good and delicious. The staff was friendly and always smiling, which made the visit even better. We will gladly come back again.

“This is my go to place 😁“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“I highly recommend that you stop to eat here whenever you can. Amazing five star food. Staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly and helpful. Amazingly clean restaurant too. You will not be disappointed unless you pass them by and don't stop in.“

“Great workers great food 10/10“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“This savory food fills the tummy with comfort and feeds the soul with pleasure clare“

“Love going to Dave's Hot Chicken! Today they messed up a little and gave me Medium instead of Mild so I decided to try it hehe It was pretty good a little hot but very tasty. Always when I go to this location Juila most of time is there and she was today also and is always very friendly and helpful! I gave 5 stars today still because the food was very yummy and sometime a mistake can turn it to something that was meant to be :)“

“Everything is delicious & authentic. It’s as if it were made by my own Lebanese family. Diverse menu options - so if you do or don’t eat meat - you will find lots of yummy options.“

“Good service, good food friendly staff“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“todo muy rico, excelente trato y no tuve que esperar tanto 😋“

“Authentic Lebanese food! Hard to find in Orange County but now there's Bei! Thank you for bringing such a great restaurant experience to this part of Orange County. The food was amazing, service was great, and the restaurant ambiance was amazing! Checked off all the marks! Thanks Bei!“

“Thank you so much to the gentleman who provided me with the most amazing customer service tonight. He brought my food out to the car for me so I didn’t have to take all three of my kids in. He didn’t have to but he was happy to do it. So thank you so much. Also the food is always amazing have been going here for a long time now ✨“

“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!“

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

“The Reaper chicken.
That's what I've been seeing on social media.
I got it. It was hot, but not as hot as everyone made it seem.
Don't get me wrong, it was delicious and very spicy. But it's not for the weak. 👍“

“Everything fiat heads and sweets“

“I have never been to this location I only went here because I was going to the library down the street. It had a few positive Stars so I figured I'd give it a shot the person I talked to you at the front said they make everything here besides pizza from American food to Mexican food which is very odd. But the food was good I did order a pizza it was a large Hawaiian and it was actually pretty good I wasn't the best but it was a decent Pizza when I go here again not unless I was in the area maybe also the atmosphere is this location was kind of empty only one other person was here and they were from out of town just picking up a pizza as well and they asked me if the pizza was good and I told him this was my first time as well. But overall the pizza was good so if you're interested give it a shot and they're not very expensive like other pizza places around the area I would say it's a budget Pizza 👍“
