Halal Restaurants near Irvine, CA

“Love the food. Especially the lamb skewers, and the big plate chicken! Everything was delicious! The lamb eas tender and succulent. The chicken seasoned beautifully. However the Dessert is mid. The honey cake isnt like ones I've had at other uyghur spots. Its not thin layers. Its a bit dry.“

“I’m a regular here and don’t usually review places, but the team members in front are always very kind, especially Austin. He always offers a water cup whenever I have to wait a while for my pickup order and is great at customer service. Food is great and tastes even better when he’s up front.“

“Great service and reasonable prices“

“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. :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had the Turkish breakfast at Canan’s Kitchen and everything was delicious. The spread was fresh and generous, with fluffy warm bread, creamy cheeses, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, jams and honey, and perfectly cooked eggs. The flavors tasted just like a traditional breakfast back home, and the Turkish tea was the perfect finish.“

“Very good food. Good service. Kind employees. They have events from the local mosque advertised here. I got the extra hot chicken sandwich and a five pack of wings. The wings were a bit messy. The sandwich had the right amount of heat. Small shop and very good“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“The food is high quality and they offer a large array of options such as cauliflower for my vegetarian friends. The meat is also halal which makes me feel more comfortable with what im eating. The staff are helpful and friendly. The place is well maintained, not usually crowded and clean.“

“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.“

“Food was delicious and piping hot 🔥 The original skillet cheeseburger was juicy and packed with flavor. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh. The owner was very kind and even came by to check on our group. I'll be back soon!“

“Bayshore Lounge is hands down one of my favorite restaurants! The location is fantastic, and the overall vibe and atmosphere are absolutely amazing. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great food. They have the best kebabs I’ve ever had, hands down. Everything is packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The pita bread and hummus are equally incredible and some of the best I’ve tasted.“

“Great chicken sandwich and fries! Fresh and hot. Great experience! This was the Gastonia NC location, very personable and friendly lady at counter.“

“Big shoutout and thanks to Diana. She gave our food really fast, seats and tables were clean. Food quality was also really really high. I have enjoyed their burgers every time I came here. Today I have tried the rice bowls, super good and lots of options to choose from .“

“Why did I give so many stars you may ask? Well let's put it this way, are you looking for a place to snuggle with your family or simply hang out a bit with friends for some warm pizza or a freshly made cheeseburger? Look no further WOW! AMAZING homemade style food! If your looking for a warmth service you got it! If your looking for freshness you got it! If your looking for a nice smiley service, you got it! You won't regret it. I had a cheeseburger with a smile served and their famous sugar cane water. Superb. I also had a Chai tea. Delicately Hot and I warmed my hands up as I sipped away and day dreamed. Try this place out, its very peaceful here. You will not regret it a bit. Money well spent here.
P.S. NO RESTROOMS. NEXT DOOR NOORANI THERE IS A RESTROOM.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“★★★★★

Came to Urban Skillet for the food, but Rahila is the reason I’m coming back 😭. She was SO nice and made the entire experience amazing. Literally the sweetest employee ever and she deserves all the recognition. If every employee was like Rahila, I’d eat here every day 💀🔥

Urban Skillet needs to protect this woman at ALL costs. Give her a raise immediately. 11/10 service, 11/10 vibes, 11/10 Rahila. 🫶“

“i ordered the chopped cheese and fries, my sister ordered the platter. the gentleman behind the counter let us know it would take about 15 minutes which was not a problem because we weren't in a rush. the food came out hot and fresh. seasoning was on point, fries were perfect. it was more than enough food we actually took some home for lunch tomorrow. we did leave a little bit of room for dessert and got the baklava cheesecake. OMG!!!!! it was divine. wasnt too sweet like some places and none of the flavors overpowered any of the others. iit was our first time there and we will definitely be back.“

“This is my go to place 😁“

“There was 7 of us in town for a conference and we stumbled upon Hole in the Wall Burger! Burger was delicious the service outstanding and special sauce of the chart’s. Next time I’m in the area I’ll definitely be stopping by and have a burger!“

“Excellent food and fast service!“

“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 an outstanding experience at DonerG, where they beautifully blend the authentic flavors of Turkish cuisine with vibrant Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences. I opted for the Original Fladenbrot sandwich with beef, and added chicken as well. Both meats were incredibly well-seasoned, tender, and bursting with flavor. You can truly appreciate the freshness and quality of the ingredients in every bite. The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and warm, making it an ideal spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a meal with a larger group. Special mention to Eduardo and Saadi, who were attentive and provided excellent service, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning for another delicious meal!“

“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.“

“Absolutely smackin'. Always love some good chicken and I like how Dave's has spice levels so you can choose how spicy you'd like your chicken. Food was absolutely amazing and the loaded shake was great as well.
Edit 7/20/26: As if Dave's couldn't get any better, THE NEAPOLITAN SHAKE IS SO DAMN DELICIOUS OH MY GOODNESS ME!!“

“Pretty good, but kind of overrated.“

“Excellent donar, burek and baklava. Of course the coffee is great too.“

“I love“

“The service and food this evening for the 3 of us was wonderful! We came with no reservations but they found a way for us to dine inside and be finished within 1 hour. The steak scharma was wonderful. The humus and bubba gnonoush and garlic spread were wonderful too. I tried the kibbi nyeah. Was good but almost cream like. Not as meaty as I remember from the last time I had it it a few decades ago. It was spiced very mildly as well. They through in a baklava ice cream dish for our trouble. It was amazingly wonderful! Definitely coming back!“
