Halal Restaurants near Los Alamitos, CA

“I’m so so sorry for all those that miss out on this little gem tucked away in this little strip mall cause you’re certainly missing out on some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in ages. Superblylicious!!! The place is small and very unassuming and in fact I thought I had walked in the wrong place if not for the yummalicious smell of the food in the air that had pulled me further in…my son picked this place out but I’d been wanting to try it for several months. I had the Lamb kabab dinner my son had the steak and then ordered a chicken kabab on the side. They were so delicious and tender I will order all 3 again. Yep. All THREE and share. Oh oh…the Garlic potatoes are off the rocker. So Ah-May-Zing! One order is enough for 2 people. But let’s talk hummus…seriously let’s talk. I love hummus and they do hummus. 5 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ for the hummus. So to recap we ordered the kabab dinner which are served over a huge bed of fluffy flavored rice with a grilled onion and tomato, huge serving of hummus ❤️ plus pita bread, salad, pickled spicy onions and the best garlic dip EHVERRRR! They have wraps, bowls and all kinds of items. The food is done right and I’m already planning to go back this week. They have 2 other locations. The one in Long Beach is a larger restaurant that is a larger dine in serves wine and beer. Going to try there too.“

“been going here the past few months, gotta say they have never disappoint. great service, owner is down to earth person and very personable. food is likely some of the best in the area. hoping to be coming out there for many more times to come.“

“I wanna start with service. Waiters are perfect and have a great manner. We have order all of our foods at the same time but the order of them were perfect, everything came out with perfect timing and order. Deserts including rice pudding is amazing. Worth to try as many as possible. Overall, We have enjoyed the place and the atmosphere. Highly recommended“

“It’s Halal restaurant. Food is fresh. We had Kabsa and Grill mixed. They service big portions. One plate can feed two people.Service is perfect. They are very generous and welcoming.Price is very appropriate.The only thing which I didn’t like most is the strong test and smell of lamb ground and kabab needs more tenderiser and spices.Give it a try!“

“My wife and I stopped in here after our massage appointment in the area - I am so glad we did because the food was amazing! We ordered the combo koobideh plate (beef and chicken) and chicken koobideh plate. We were greeted by the owner when we came out and he was so kind and offered excellent customer service. He also gave us free rice on the house! Everything was absolutely delicious!! The kabobs were flavorful, the bread was soft and fluffy and the sauces were delicious. I believe the white garlic sauce and hot sauce were made in house and they were so good! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Highly recommend lol“

“The food is freshly cooked and tastes great. It is a bit more pricey than you would expect. I ordered takeout even though I have walked past this restaurant many times. I had the salmon coquette bowl and it was excellent. The jerk sauce was awesome.“

“Really good Mediterranean spot, great for date nights or a relaxing afternoon.Food was impressive but not the best I've had. I ordered the Sultan. Lamb came as ordered but the shrimp was dry. The rice had flavor and the spicy hummus was on point. The bread was lacking but it worked out ok. Salad was salad.Staff was nice enough, my waitress was great. The location is small but cozy. I would visit again.“

“City of Paramount and local restaurants partnered up and gave away $50 gift cards. Lucky for me I scored on one, took advantage and chose Fatima's to finally try it out. The Downey location is always packed so I was happy to see a new location closer to me and hope I'd like it. My chile relleno burrito did not disappoint! I recently tried one at a different restaurant and felt the relleno was pointless and was not impressed. Fatima's burrito changed my perspective on that and the chile relleno with all the cheese was life! 4/5 only thing I wish they had was a good spicy/hot salsa to pair with it. I snagged the roasted hot jalapeno off my friends Chicken Kabob plate. Chicken 4/5 was good, juicy & flavor able but the rice 2/5 I was not a fan of. Tried the Birria Taco 3/5 they are generous with the meat because it came in 2 tortillas I was able to make 2 tacos out of the 1 and share it. The fish taco here was not to our liking. I do look forward to returning and trying other menu items. Also had good service.“

“First time, dining in last night with my girlfriend. Great place! I had the half & half chicken and kafta tawook plate while my girlfriend had the chicken shawarma wrap. Both were delicious! And, freshly prepared. Both recommended. And, their baklava was great! Muhammad, the owner and operator was very gracious and hospitable, we even had a nice conversation after we were finished with our meal. We'll definitely be returning again to try more of the menu.“

“This shawarma truck offers authentic, juicy, mouthwatering, fresh, and well-made Middle Eastern shawarma. So far, the BEST shawarma I've had in LA is as good as the shawarma you'll eat in the best places in the Middle East! Friendly and quick service. I highly recommend it if you want the real taste of SHAWARMA!“

“Have been coming to LBX for a while now to try new things and I can definitely say that this is now one of my favorite places to go to. Shout out to Jesus for being extremely nice and recommending me a dish that was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends and family along with me next time.“

“I've been going here since they've opened and this is by far the best Lebanese food around! It makes you feel like you've had a home-cooked meal the owner. Bruno was beyond nice and welcoming. It's so refreshing when the food matches the excellent service. I would highly recommend this place my kids love the food as well. It's always a hit.“

“The staff was friendly and very attentive. I dined with a party of 6 and everyone seemed to enjoy the food and the portions were generous . We shared the mezza appetizer which was delicious and definitely enough for the 6 of us. I ordered a chicken bowl which was tasty but the chicken kabob was overcooked.“

“Sofra is a hidden gem. If you are a meat lover & like to try different cuisine, then go to Sofra without hesitation. Their Bosnian sandwiches & plates are really outstanding & delicious. The place is a bit small, but definitely causey. The people there are so friendly & helpful. There is restroom inside & there is plenty of parking space just outside the restaurant. Great spot for one of a kind taste.“

“Nice Family Owned Spot, You can tell the food is prepared well. Tastes great too, I had the chicken shawarma combo plate with salad, hummus, and rice. Good portion and great tastes as well. Best part was very economical compared to some other famous spots around town.“

“My son & l tried this place Feb. 21/2024 we started with their garlic cheese bread then we had a half pepperoni & cheese and half Birria pizza this place is Amazing!! I give it a 10 out of 10..not only is the food Amazing The staff is also Amazing some of the friendliest people you could ever meet!! A Must TRY!!!“

“I would enthusiastically declare that this Turkish restaurant stands out as the best among those I have experienced, especially considering my previous encounters with high-quality Turkish cuisine in Turkey. The flavors are truly remarkable.it's just a little pricey :)“

“We were in the area , and accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant. And it was no doubt an excellent decision. On the recommendation of the manager we tried tikka ribs and beef chapli kababs. They came with a side and salad. The beef chapli kabab came with rice as well. We were totally blown away with both of them. It was like a party for our taste buds . I mean this was the best food we had in a longggg time . The servers were friendly and the customer service was great. The meat was grass fed as well. And alhamdolilah everything was halal. I would definitely 100 percent come back here and would bring my friends and family too. It’s a gem! Highly recommended.Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“Super large menu with a huge selection of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines. You should study their menu before you get there because it's humongous. I will return to try other things. Only complaint , some portions are small and too much rice to make up for the smaller portions.“

“I’ve been ordering off of DoorDash and honestly this is my new favorite place the 1st time ordered the food blew my mind. Even my mother who’s picky on certain foods was also amazed. I found my new favorite place.Kid-friendliness: has kid friendly foods fish and chips and chicken nuggets.“

“Just stopped in after a Disneyland trip to try out the food. Definitely worth the stop. Wife got the angus burger which she loved. I got the Nashville chicken sandwich that was melt in your mouth good. Awesome place to check out if your looking for a new spot.“

“Fantastic Kebab Experience!I recently visited this kabob shop, and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The flavors were exquisite, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was inviting.From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and a tempting aroma of perfectly seasoned kebabs. The menu offered a variety of mouthwatering options, and I was impressed by the quality of ingredients used.What truly stood out was the attention to detail in each dish – a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to delivering an exceptional dining experience. The kebabs were cooked to perfection, juicy and bursting with flavor. The side dishes complemented the main course beautifully, creating a well-balanced and satisfying meal.The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring customers had a memorable time. Their recommendations were spot-on, enhancing my overall enjoyment of the meal.In summary, I give this kabob shop a solid 5 stars for its outstanding food, welcoming ambiance, and superb service. If you're a fan of delectable kebabs and a cozy dining atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary experience!“

“I've ordered from India Restaurant La Habra twice so far: once shortly after it opened and another on a Sunday evening. Both times were for take out. I got the Tarka Dal and Garlic Naan the first time and got the Bhindi Masala, Tarka Dal and Garlic Naan the second time. It's all so delicious and filling!! The vegetable curries I get come with rice and the portions are pretty large so there is definitely enough for sharing. I love okra so the bhindi Masala is sooooo good and it has a touch of sweetness from the caramelized onions. And I love love love garlic Naan. I would eat a meal just of Naan if it wouldn't all go to my a$$. I'm a vegetarian so you can easily find vegetarian curries and if you're vegan, there are some dishes noted that could be made vegan on the menu. If you are vegan, just be aware that some veg curries can have dairy and/or ghee. I will definitely continue to order here and I'm so happy to have a delicious Indian place close to home! My ONLY critique is that, like other Indian restaurants, I wish this one would offer smaller portions of curries for cheaper in order to buy more than one to make like your own thali essentially. However, if you are buying as a group the portions here are perfect for that.“

“I loved everything about this place! As a vegan, it's great to have so many options to choose from. One of the best babaganoush I've had in a long time! The folks working were kind and attentive, we are outside on the patio which has enough reprieve from the sun with all the plants which have it a cute, welcoming atmosphere. After chaos of Disney parks, this was very welcomed. Highly recommend, 10/10 will come back again!“

“First time here,ordered Chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The chicken itself was good,the sauce was too sweet for my liking. Garlic naan was really good.I will not fault the restaurant for the sauce,this is the way they make it,and it’s not bad by any means,just too sweet for my tastes.“

“We love Adana Grill! The generous portions of exquisitely seasoned tender meats and fresh savory sides offer texture and flavors that compliment perfectly. Whether creamy or crunchy , roasted or pickled there is something for everyone here. We often start with the crispy Cheese rolls or Kibbeh. The house special Adana Kebab is excellent, and chicken and beef kebabs are some of our favorites. Don’t forget to finish your meal with Turkish tea and sweet treats of baklava and Turkish delight. Beautiful photography and lively music complete the casual atmosphere. Every meal we have here, or take home , we end saying, “That was so delicious and satisfying. I am so happy”!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly Great for family, date, friends group or just solo mealWheelchair accessibility: Easy roll up to tables for 1-“

“Chicken 65 is awesome, I like it as semi dry ?. Fish fry also tastes good. I really liked the food quality and taste. Chicken is very fresh. Limited menu, but best. I recommend this to all my friends. Service is also very good and less wait time:)“

“Nice environment and friendly staff! Chicken is good and the fried are amazing! but I would like to see slight improvements that can be made for the buns and toast. Buns were a little soggy feeling and Texas toast was okay! I like that they are halal it makes me feel safer about eating the chicken“

“For Muslim friends, maybe this is the only Indo restaurant in LA that is truly "HALAL" from all the menus offered here, (unlike other Indo restaurants which still have menus with B2, etc.)For rice rames rendang, like the rendang here, which is more recommended compared to the Indonesian restaurants that I have tried in several places, here it feels like eating at a Padang restaurant in Jakarta (I forgot to take a photo of the rames rendang rice because I was enjoying it too much?)For delicious pempek, it's just the sauce that doesn't taste goodFor a good place, the WLPN is not too big, the service is also very friendly when we chatGood parkingThe most important thing is that you are allowed to pray even in the corner of the restaurant room, because of the location.If I'm going to an Indo restaurant again, I'll come back here again to try the other menus.Overall ok!!Success & BLESSINGS always for busy shops!!“

“The food is always fresh and delicious. Most of the time I walk-in, it’s empty so food arrive very quickly. One thing I don’t like is getting charged the automatic TIP if you bring 6 or more people to support the small business restaurant. This makes absolutely no sense here and any other restaurant. This should alway be left up to the customer to decide. The automatic TIP charge is 15%-20%.“

“Was looking for a late morning snack with my family after driving from San Diego and was glad we found Al Amir. We ordered the mini zaatar manakish, mini zaatar and cheese manakshi and a regular meat manakish and they were so good. The zaatar tastes home made, the flavors were so fresh. We were all happy and satisfed.“

“Lovely little place with authentic Mediterranean Food and great value for money. For me as a car and motorcycle lover of course nice as sitting outside on a sunny Saturday afternoon you see a lot of great rides passing. Would have loved to see the waitress in a little bit a better mood, but let’s be honest - we came for the food and not the waitress. So for foodies definitely recommended.“

“It's a small hotel with a friendly staff and exceptional taste. I savored a delightful zinger burger and chips, followed by a memorable papri chat reminiscent of Karachi's Burns Road. I'm giving it a well-deserved 5-star rating ⭐️, considering the reasonable price.“

“Just had this and woah. Delicious fries, delicious fresh chicken. The sauce. The presentation. I mean what a great eating experience. The lady working is also very nice. I ordered Combo #3 that came with the two strips and fries. hOT. HOT! But not too hot where you can't eat it. Edible and quite tasty.I've had a lot of these Hot Chicken style places and this one ranks up there. Definitely recommended.Go! Go now!“

“We were looking for Halal Thai in the Orange County area and discovered this place. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by an aunty, a telltale sign of good food. Food was excellent and they still offered us service despite arriving close to closing. Tom Yum Soup was excellent and was full of meat and mushrooms, with their Spicy Mint Noodles having a generous portion of beef and flavourful.Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“This is one of my weekly lunch "Go to's". Always fresh and delicious. The service is top notch and the crew is super friendly! Used to get the gyros and now get the plate with beef. Love that white sauce on top but careful with the hot sauce... It's hot!! I love spice so I mix the hot sauce together with the white sauce on the container lid before adding it to the food for a consistent heat distribution.“

“Dave's Hot Chicken was born in LA in 2017, and quickly became wildly popular. They now have over 100 locations nationwide. When this location opened on 2nd Street in Long Beach, I thought meh, another place I have no interest in (I don't eat meat). Then, I saw a mukbang star on TikTok devouring Dave's' newest creation: a vegetarian cauliflower "chicken", and everything changed. In the interest of trying all of the new cauliflower items, I ordered a combo with a Dave's NOT Chicken! Cauli Tender, and Cauli Slider, with Cheese Fries, of course. The plate was $20 and a generous portion, served with pickles and a creamy chipotle sauce. I love that you can adjust the heat level in each item; I definitely tasted the difference between the "medium" and "hot". I preferred the slider to the tender, which came served on a slice of white bread, but they were both delicious. The breading was crunchy and savory, and the cauliflower juicy. I love that they use crinkle fries, but the cheese on top was thin and flavorless. It was so watery that the fries absorbed it. Still, I am so happy about Dave's NOT Chicken, and will definitely come back.“

“Mahmoud made authentic, fresh Egyptian food. Good food takes time. We were very happy with what we ordered and what we paid. How did my cheeseburger taste better than in-n-out? Kofta, tarb, chicken and kabab were all great! Wish you many blessings! Please ignore the haters! If this is the kind of food you crave, come and try it yourself, you won't be disappointed. Keep making fresh, tasty food! We will be back! Can't wait for desserts!“

“Halal food in Long beach! Don't be fooled by the outside - there's Mexican food here but also middle Eastern food too, so there are healthy options if you don't want a bunch of Cheetos on your food for example. I always liked the food here even before it was Fatima's, and the quality has remained the same! It's a small venue so you probably want to take your food to go, but for the price and quality it can't be beat!“
