Halal Restaurants near La Mesa, CA

“First time here and not disappointed. Didn't have a long wait like others said. The doma was excellent. I got the combo to try their meats - beef kabob, chicken Tikka, and beef shawarma. All were seasoned well, especially the shawarma...very bold. But it's the cook on the meat that set them apart! All 3 were tender, juicy, and savory. Too many overcook these but they just melted in my mouth. Highly recommended.“

“Bold flavors that took us pleasantly by surprise. We’ll be going back.“

“Everyone is nice and easy going. I honestly appreciate it here. You can feel the good vibes, kindness and warmth from them. Celly is a clear example and really shows us the amazing standard they have at the amazing customer service. Pls, give him a raise!“

“I've been a loyal customer for years now and sincerely enjoy the bowls. You can customize the contents of the bowl to your liking and the sauces are made in-house. It's a healthy food option that rivals the finest out there in taste and quality. I recommend you try it.“

“I visited in April and had the birria tacos and birria dillas, and both were amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was great as well—friendly and welcoming from start to finish.

As a Muslim, I really appreciate having a halal option like this in San Diego. It's not always easy to find quality halal Mexican food, and Wet Tacos definitely delivered. Thank you for the great food and excellent service. I look forward to coming back!“

“Best fried chicken and fried shrimp! if your here you must try“

“Absolutely amazing food! We tried the Chicken 64 combo that came with Rumali Roti and was absolutely blown away! Easily some of the best Hyderabadi food we have tried! Reasonably priced, great quantity and amazing service! 10/10 would recommend!“

“We wanted to try this place for a long time now. When we had the chance finally we ordered beef burger, chicken burger, philly cheesesteak, and 6 bbq sauce chicken wings. The philly cheesesteak was not that good. I liked the beef burger, and chicken burger was fine as well. However chicken wings were no go for me.
Did it make to my list of go-tos, most likely no but if I am around maybe.
Btw parking is limited.“

“Had a great experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken! What really stood out was the amazing customer service from Diego. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s always nice when someone goes above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable. Thank you, Diego, for the great service! I’ll definitely be back“

“love the food I'm from Chicago and omg“

“I had the Combo Over Rice, which comes with marinated chicken and lamb gyro meat served over aromatic basmati rice, along with a fresh salad of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

Unfortunately, the meal came out only semi-warm. With this type of dish, it really needs to be served hot because the oil starts to thicken as it cools. Before I even finished eating, I could already notice the change in texture, which took away from the overall experience.

The flavor was decent, but serving it hotter would have made a big difference. Overall, I’d give it a 6/10.“

“The best restaurant so far in San Diego!!! The food is amazing and you get a big portion!!!“

“The place was amazing and the food was delicious“

“Best chicken shawarma wrap I’ve ever had in my life, and the nicest people serving too! Definitely should try this food truck if you are downtown!“

“Gyros House in El Cajon is a great spot for anyone looking for flavorful Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food at an affordable price. The restaurant is well known for its fresh ingredients, generous portions, and friendly service. Popular menu items such as the chicken shawarma, gyro sandwiches, and falafel are packed with flavor and served with warm pita bread and tasty sauces. Although the restaurant has a simple food-court style atmosphere, many customers enjoy the quick service and quality of the food. Overall, Gyros House is a solid choice for delicious and satisfying Mediterranean cuisine in El Cajon.

“My family and I were in search of a great burger and shake to honor my Dad on the anniversary of his passing. We considered In-N-Out, but are SO glad we changed our mind!
Everything was delicious!

My son actually didn’t “love” the crispness of the single patty, and wouldn’t eat it. As we walked out, the owner came after us with a delicious hot dog dressed in ketchup just for him ❣ incredible food and service. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The best chicken shawarma I have tried in San Diego 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 very friendly staff in person and over the phone 📱 the rice is really good too and the sandwiches 😋!!!“

“Excellent service, amazing and delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely loved the kebabs here! They reminded me of the authentic kebabs I grew up eating back home in Kurdistan. The flavor, seasoning, and quality were excellent. If you’re looking for authentic Kurdish-style kebabs, I highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“I ordered 5 Ground Beef Kabob Skewers , 5 Chicken Tikka Skewers, 1 chicken cream chop, 1 Shawarma Wrap, Rice, Hummus & Salad. Served with Pita Bread, Grilled So when I got home I find out there is only 4 Ground Beef kabob and 4 chicken Tikka And that was so embarrassing for me because I invited 5 people for lunch That was really bad experience“

“Everything about this place is amazing!!! Authentic Pakistani food, great clean ambiance, and super friendly staff!! Must try their beef haleem and seekh kebabs!!“

“Love my necklace! I’ll always have my cousin close to me now. ❤️‍🩹“

“I had the federation — half rice, half pasta — with one chicken suqaar and one beef suqaar. The rice was cooked to perfection, light and fragrant, while the pasta carried the spices beautifully without overpowering the dish.

Both suqaar plates were tender, well-seasoned, and balanced — not greasy, just clean flavor. Paired with fresh salad and banana, everything came together the way Somali food is meant to.

Easily some of the best Somali food I’ve had so far.“

“Bold flavors that took us pleasantly by surprise. We’ll be going back.“

“If you're looking for authentic Afghan food, Arman Cafe is a must-visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The kebabs were tender, the rice was cooked perfectly, and every dish tasted homemade. The portions were generous, and the service was warm and welcoming. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. I highly recommend Arman Cafe to anyone who enjoys delicious, authentic Afghan cuisine. I'll definitely be back!“

“Afghan cuisine is wonderful – flavorful without being overpowering. Think aromatic spices and tender meats, not just heat. The rice dishes with carrots and raisins (Qabil I Pulao) and the dumplings (Mantu) are must-tries. Such a warm atmosphere .🙏“

“I know nothing about the seating arrangements, pricing (high or low…I’m from out of town, and door dashed). All I know is the food I ordered chicken samosa, veggie samosa, chicken biryani, garlic naan and tikka masala (spicy with chicken) is some of the best Indian food that I’ve had on this side of the world. Highly recommend!“

“I ate hear years ago, don't know what took so long to go back but it did not disappoint. Ordered the fried fish and fries and the beef kebab plate. Ordered two in case the fish was not enough. I was pleasantly surprised to have received two massive, healthy pieces of fish cooked to perfection and a mound of great fries. I'll have to eat the kebabs later but I'm sure they'll be equally delicious.“
