Halal Restaurants near Lakewood, CA

“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.“

“My Dave’s experience is always great! The food is always fresh and made to order. I never wait too long for my meal and the customer service is alway awesome. Amanda, provides such great customer service and made sure my order was accurate, I really appreciate that!“

“One of the best places for Indian food I have ever eaten and been to. We ordered Palak Paneer, Chicken Makhani, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, all of them tasted really good and authentic! And also 5 stars for the service. Highly recommended!“

“Good DELICIOUS Food Great Customer service“

“Decided to stop by here on the way to LA after a delicious ice cream treat. We ordered quesadillas and their tacos. The food was spot on and this is after us having some ice cream. The food is prepared outside on the parking lot in front of the store. I love their green sauce and they’re very generous with their cilantro and onions. The service was amazing as the young lady made great recommendations and she was very nice. The ambience is nice because you have a choice of sitting outside on a nice day or if it’s cold you have the choice to sit inside the marketplace.“

“Best Chinese food I’ve had in a while. Lovely restaurant, and the staff was warm and welcoming.
We ate the Hunan Stir Fry Beef, and it delicious and full of flavor. Also, the fried rice was unique and had a wonderful taste. I also recommend the Ching Qing Chicken and Beef Dumplings, which were very popular at my table.“

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!“

“This was my first time here, and honestly, I’ve been to almost every Turkish restaurant across the America, I can easily put this one at the very top. The menu is huge, the place is spotless and well organized, and the design is modern and stylish. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, with generous and filling portions.

The highlight of our visit was Sefkan, the staff member who took care of us. He treated us with genuine hospitality and made us feel truly welcome just like a real host should.

Right next door, there’s also a dessert shop where you can find all the classic Turkish sweets and ice cream. Their desserts and ice cream were outstanding as well.

Highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“A Must-Visit for Authentic Afghan Cuisine
The Afghan Kabob House is an absolute gem! The owners truly care about their customers and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.
The food is simply incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We especially loved the lamb kabobs, bolani, mantu. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu – it's all a must-try!
Pro tip: Go with a group so you can sample a variety of dishes and share the deliciousness.
The service is top-notch, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. I can't wait to return for another fantastic meal. Highly recommend!“

“Good food. Very friendly people at along Beach location. 😊“

“I haven't been at the restaurant but my friend brought food from there and it was amazing! Very different from what seen in other restaurants! From presentation to flavors! Now I gotta go check it out in person and try other things in the menu!“

“Just ate at Habibi Grill in La Mirada. the Chicken Shawerma w/hummus & taboula was Great. Fantastic flavors and garlic sauce. Definitely recommend 👌“

“Jose and John were very friendly and helpful. We got samples of the frozen Hi-Cs. Ended up buying two because he gave us the option of combining two flavors. We had placed an online order and he was fast and accommodating. Our food was hot, accurate, and delicious. We loved the vibe and the atmosphere here a lot more than our closest location.“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

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

“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!“

“great food. very nice staff. food was fast and wonderful! only togo on indoor eating right now.“

“BETWEEN THE REVIEWS w/ Rodney S

Q) So, Rodney, where did you go for lunch?
A) To Pak.

Q) 2pac?! The rapper?!
A) No, to Pak. I went to Pak Halal in Artesia.

Q) Oh, I see. Was this your first time visiting?
A) Yes, Rodney. A few Muslim gym buddies o' mine kept recommending Pak Halal, so of course I had to give the place a shot.

Q) What did you order?
A) Being my first time, I gave the Special Dishes display a thorough perusing.

Knowing I wanted a beef or mutton entree, after much thought & deliberation, I went all in on Pak Halal's Beef Nihari.

Q) Rodney, how was the Beef Nihari?
A) Spiced tender beef, swimming in flavorful broth. I enjoyed the Beef Nihari. I prefer a solid amount of fat to meat, and the Beef Nihari had just what I was looking for. Ample portions, with enough to fill up on. Speaking of filling up, the ginormous Garlic Naan provided a lot of garlicky carbs, made all the more better when soaking up with the Beef Nihari broth

Q) How was the service, and what are the seating arrangements?
A) Rodney, the service was good. The wait wasn't unreasonable. Being a small deli, there is a table or two inside & outside. Pak Halal is more an order ahead, grab n' go eatery. The railing outside Pak Halal acts as a standing communal table, in which I used to dine on my meal.

Q) Rodney, would you recommend Pak Halal?
A) Absolutely, Rodney! The food was great at Pak Halal, and when I'm in a hurry and not looking for a sit-down restaurant experience, I know I can head over to Pak Halal and order something to go, or enjoy a quick meal on the railing, before life's troubles beckon me, elsewhere“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

“Making the most out of this Covid-19 situation for pick-up. Order was secure, exact, and made fresh. They were backed up as when I first got there they were a little short staffed as The Friday Dinner rush was starting, but they kept their cool, their extra hand showed up, and they did well. Just make yourself visible so they got your name assuming you pre-ordered for pick-up. The short wait will not disappoint. And they definitely didn't forget my white sauce - always my biggest fear as it's truly the essence of this place!“

“This was a very pleasant visit with friends. Had very nice mocktails, very nice. very nice presentation. Presentation was great for all dishes. customer service was very very good too.

Dahi puri was a punchy, very flavorful. Goat cheese kulcha was very nice as well. Dahi puri though was the winner of the two.

Seekh kebabs were fine but nothing special. Then a tough choice between lamb rogan josh and shaniwari karahi with goat. in the end, very similar taste profiles but the winner was the karahi. also had some nice but nothing spectacular naan as well as chicken biryani which was stellar. very flavorful with tender chicken inside.

Presentation of dishes is very nice. Portions may be on the smaller side but if you want to have a bit more luxurious experience, def worth the visit.“

“when we first walked in, the staff were friendly by welcoming us, offering us a menu, and recommending their best burgers.

we ordered the swiss mushroom and crispy chicken burgers, both combo so it came with friends and we can grab our soda of choice from the fridge. the place was spacious, clean, and had a lot of tables. once our food was ready, the staff brought it to our table!

swiss mushroom burger - THIS WAS SO GOOD! their beef patty is super juicy and flavorful. i haven’t had a burger like this before that makes you keep wanting to eat it. their beef patty is really really good. everything is so balanced, not overwhelmed by the mushroom or onions and it complimented each flavors perfectly.

crispy chicken burger - the chicken was indeed really crispy and juicy on the inside. this burger tasted like a hearty meal, not too salty or bland, on the higher end than other chicken burgers i’ve tasted.

their fries were crispy and seasoned well! i recommend getting their SPICY GARLIC SAUCE to dip. it was house made and delicious.

Ali, the cashier and who brought our food was so kind and welcome, really excellent customer service. will definitely be back!!“

“This family-owned restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is unbelievable—fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with real love. The whole vibe is warm and welcoming, and you can feel the pride they put into every plate and every detail of the experience. The service makes you feel like you’re part of the family, and the atmosphere is the perfect mix of cozy and lively.“

“Thank you for always accommodating our family ! Exceptional food every time.“

“Came back to this spot and they did not disappoint—the chicken was just as juicy, the sauce still hits hard, and that slaw added the perfect crunch. The seasoned crinkle fries were on point too, soaking up all that flavor without getting soggy. They even have great customer service. Highly recommend this place.👍🏾“

“I was introduced to this cozy mom and pop Mediterranean diner in HB by a coworker. Family-friendly, big portions, and the food is wonderful. It's my kind of place - a hidden hole-in-the-wall with good service and great food. I'll be back for sure - they're on my list of favorites now. The warm pitas they serve are a reason to go all by themselves!“

“Ciro!!! Wow! I want to take a moment to recognize an outstanding employee at Dave's Hot Chicken, Artesia, CA branch, Ciro!!! From the very first time we visited, Ciro stood out with his exceptional service and genuine positivity. He is consistently polite, respectful, and radiates a welcoming energy that truly enhances the customer experience.

Ciro goes above and beyond in everything he does. Whether it’s during a rush or a calm moment, he remains calm, efficient, and professional. He handles pressure like a pro. Always with a smile, never missing a beat. It’s rare to encounter someone who brings that level of dedication and grace under stress.

Employees like Ciro are rare gems. I strongly believe that he should not only be recognized but rewarded. He is exactly the kind of team member that any business would be lucky to have.

He truly deserves a promotion and continued recognition for his outstanding contributions. Thank you, Ciro, for being consistently amazing!“

“Great delicious halal Chinese food“

“This place rocks. The pizza is awesome and how cool is it that they offer so many vegan options (I’m not vegan but my partner is). Big recommend.“

“Nice ambient clean and delicious food“

“Sandwiches were extremely flavorful and juicy! Don’t pass up on their Blazin’ Fries with their comeback sauce! Dine-In area is clean and the customer service here was excellent as well. As far as my hot chicken sandwich experiences go thus far in life, this place has made it to my Top 3 hot chicken sandwich spots.“

“Great food and good service“

“One of the best Pakistani food in the area“
