Halal Restaurants near Manhattan Beach, CA

“I tried their food last night for the first time. It was excellent. I had the Mulgatani Soup, Chicken Zalfrazi and Alu Vindaloo. So good and even better the next day. I wished I had ordered more Naan as the sauces are so good to dip in.“

“This is one of those places I wish I had tried earlier. Everything we’ve had was fresh, high quality and delicious. I’d suggest ordering at the restaurant so you can meet the terrific people who own the restaurant and experience the care they put into making your meal.“

“Just absolutely incredible. First off when I walked in it smelled like I just walked into my grandma's house. So warm and welcoming in the best way. The tea was the best I've ever had. The lamb and rice plate was HUGE the colors were vibrant and the food was delicious. I would say a little more salt but that's just me. The pre meal soup was also very warm and simple and delicious. Not too much before a meal.“

“This Indian restaurant located in Culver City 90230. The couple running the restaurant are very nice. The prices and portions are on point. All dishes including the appetizers are delivered on an outside patio. No indoor tables except one table.“

“Abhiruchi is amazing! I've been going there for 2-3 years and I've never been disappointed. The Abhiruchi chicken curry, goat biryani, and the chili garlic naan are highlights, but everything I've tried has been excellent. The service is always kind and welcoming, and Omar in particular is the best. My girlfriend and I want Abhiruchi to cater our wedding!“

“I went to finally try this spot on a Thursday for $2 tenders. Ordered 2 cool (less than mild), 2 glow (mild), and 2 spark (medium). They all came out looking the same and once I tried it all, there wasn't much of a difference in spice level. I could've tried the next tier after Spark --- I think .The batter was great - loved the crunch and crispyness of it.I thought they would've been stingy about the $2 tenders but the size of the tenders were a good size.Staff was nice and efficient for a busy Thursday lunchtime. There's outdoor seating if you can't find a spot inside.“

“We were tourist to LA and found this great restaurant by the reviews on Google and it lived upto our expectations. Great food , ambience and most importantly great customer service. Couldn’t ask for more. We went for dinner and came back for lunch the following day due to the food being very tasty. Lunch buffet was very good and price was very reasonable. Tandoori fish is a must try.Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Tried this new place out. We had the all you can eat lunch special. There were definitely some pros/cons.The pros were: excellent food (especially the butter chicken), great naan! Price was reasonable at $19 per person. Easy to park with no extra cost. Dessert was good but they only had a fruit salad NO sweet rice or NO gulab jamun (which I normally looooove to eat at other Indian restaurants). Good service, the waiter was kind.The cons: the atmosphere could have been more upbeat, it was very quiet (no music playing), they ran out of the dish we loved so we had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes before they brought more out and the rice was limited; I think we could have asked for more but we ended up just using what they gave us.“

“Food is absolutely delicious! The staff & service are really good! I imagine precovid it was a restaurant with some ambience but it's just a bare bones place now that seems to do a ton of takeout. Definitely try if you have not! The food will not disappoint!!“

“I can't say enough good things - great food, great service and its Halal! The chicken is so moist, as is the beef. The falafel isn't dry, which makes the wrap a must have. Run don't walk on this storefront. It's a little hard to find, so keep looking!“

“Wow this was my first time trying pizza from here and it was deeee lish ! My husband and I were looking to order from a pizza place other than the big name chains ... we had the supreme 12 inch and it was perfect ! It tasted fresh and the crust was just right ! I love ranch with my pizza and so we got two cups and even the ranch was tasty! We will definitely order again sometime . Was so good and the perfect amount for 2 people ! Thank you SaMo“

“We came here Easter Sunday because everything else was closed. We didn't expect much but the food was delicious and the woman at the register absolutely makes this place a gem. She was so kind and friendly, and when we decided to eat in, she basically was our waitress too. She was lovely! We'll definitely be back!“

“First time here and omg… AMAZING! The gentleman is very kind and I asked for his opinion on what to eat. I ordered the Mee Tomyam because I do have a cold and suggested it would make me feel better. It’s absolutely delicious!! It is very filling and I drank the whole broth. Left nothing behind. I’m looking forward to trying more items off the menu and EASILY my new to go.“

“Hummus has different variety. I chose garlic which I think could be better as it was rather dry. Otherwise, the shrimp kabob was really delicious. Fresh and succulent! The lady serving us was really kind and helpful. More lighting could help with the ambience.“

“Simpang Asia is a hidden gem located in a small shopping center with ample parking. We came in on a weeknight and were seated right away. The restaurant has a great ambiance and the staff was extremely welcoming. Since it was our first time trying Indonesian food we decided to order one of the most popular dishes, the Mie Tek Tek noodles. While the Mie Tek Tek noodles may look like other South Asian noodle dishes, the flavors made this dish really unique and unlike anything we have tried before. You're able to customize the level of spice which is great since the noodles do have some heat! Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious and enjoyable our meal was. I will definitely be back!“

“Real Mexican cuisine!!! Despite the fact that the place looks very “simple,” the guys cook truly delicious Mexican food. I work nearby and it seems to me that I have already tried everything!! Favorite - casadilla with chicken and avocado?“

“I’m giving this space for my review to my six-year-old daughter, who provided these remarks verbatim: “I know I’m six but I just had to write a review. My parents said reviews are a thing. I wrote this review because the pancakes…the pancakes are delicious at (falsetto singing voice) Caaaaaalf and Chiiiick! How many stars? Listen up here: I’m giving it 100,000 stars out of 100,000 stars. And another thing, by the way. I liked the high chairs. They aren’t like baby high chairs. But high tables and high chairs. They are cool. You should go there because the food is…- I’m gonna say it is delicious and everyone was nice.”“

“Their goat curry is very rich and they choose delicate and delicious cuts of it for the curry. Great flavor in many of the food there.I enjoy their basmati rice, goat curry, mint chaay, pickled veggies, and fresh food!! I always like getting my weekend drink freebie of the super creamy Mango Lassi!Very quick service. They do their best to get you warm naan, cold water, and clean tables to get more food. Servers are quick to seat you and take care of your table. They are also very helpful especially when I needed anything.Hope to see this place stays open as it has been for over 50 years!“

“Great halal spot. Tried the OG dog (good but feel it’s overpriced) and the buffalo chicken fries (these were great). The girl at the front was super friendly! The place is clean and well maintained. There is indoor and outdoor seating available.“

“This was my first visit at this place of business. The food is delicious but the nasty attitude of the lead person servicing was not acceptable.I questioned the time it was taking to receive an addition (rotisserie chicken) that looked to be done to go and Lady told me "ok other people have ordered $100 + worth of food and you have to wait". I told her my $50 PAID is worth a lot to me. Instead of leading with the fact that there is additional prep time needed when I requested 1 of 3 chickens I saw, she wanted to argue. When I let her know my original online order was suppose to be ready 1:08 and I said nothing about additional 20 mins I saw workers were behind and I was patient. She then began saying they had to cut chicken, warm and prep right for me. This with an apology should have led communication.I like a few of the food places over there. I travel from South Central LA to medical appointments and to eat. I would love to tell my friends about this place but not want them treated this way. They also forgot my coleslaw!I wish them success!BlessingsNorine4/18/2024Thank you to the owner for your response. Please know I appreciate your addressing this matter. I am sure this business will thrive under your leadership and teaching. I shall let friends know about your tasty food and positive customer service .BlessingsNorineShow quoted textVegetarian options: Zuchinni is great“

“Indian food is my favorite food so I am very picky about it. I love this place! The food was so good and I am so happy now that I found this place. I got chicken Tika masala (medium spicy) with garlic and plain naan. This meal took back to the first time I ate Indian food. I would suggest ordering extra naan I always do.“

“Got off the airport shuttle and went to this Middle Eastern restaurant in Inglewood close to the airport. It only has a couple tables inside so it's for carryout mostly it seems. Al Hamra has most of the classic favorites. Lots of the good stuff like falafel, hummus, tabbouli, and more. The platters are big and are a lot of food for an okay price. A pretty small place but they have a lot on the menu, and it's better than it looks to be honest. It's not pretty from the outside but it's clean inside. There's the counter to order at, and there's just a few tables. Most people call in orders and get it to go. We were already there so we ate there. It's about $14 for the platters. These are big and come with lots of stuff. I got the Falafel Plate. This comes with hummus, rice, and salad. Good falafel. These were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Ones like these are best. Then I used the pitas to make sandwiches out of these. Convenient place after getting off the shuttle a few blocks from here. It's pretty quick and simple. There's great choices like the falafel for vegans and vegetarians.“

“First time here, we had lunch and we both had the grilled lamb chops plate. Service was very good and friendly. The food came quick and it was fresh and very delicious. Lamb is tasty. Mango Lasi is so good. We will definitely come back!. Area is clean.“

“Don't miss out on this hole in the wall tasty Pakistani and Indian Halal cuisine. Despite having three signs displayed in front of their building, it's really easy to miss because it's located on PCH, unless you happen to stop because of the nearby traffic lights. I'm always looking for mom and pop businesses to support and happened to be in the area and saw this spot. Prices are very fair and portions are generous. They even have lunch specials that are available from Tues-Thurs and other daily specials that you don't want to miss. They have plenty of indoor space and even have a gorgeous outdoor patio seating. Unfortunately, it was quite hot that day so I opted to sit indoors.|| L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G ||-Closest cross streets are PCH and Appian Way-Parking is available in the rear. You want to turn into the entrance as soon as you pass by the nail and hair salon. We passed by it thinking that we could just park in the next available entrance but that was not parking for that plaza.-Came on a Friday at noon and the lot was probably 70% full.|| F O O D / D R I N K S ||Mango Lassi ($4.00) - So smooth and delicious. Not too sweet!Potato Samosa ($4.00/4pcs) - So crispy and pairs super well with their green sauce! They also offer beef samosas but I wanted to try something without meat since my main dishes were heavy on meat.Chicken Tikka Masala ($13.99) - A classic Indian dish that I always order. What I liked about theirs was that it was so creamy and flavorful. We opted for a mild spice level and it was perfect. If you want to go for a spicier kick, medium would be a spice option to go with. Like many Indian restaurants, it doesn't come with rice or naan and will have to be ordered separately.Garlic Naan ($2.99) - Garlic Naan is always a must for me. Theirs was freshly made and the most fluffy naan that I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and make sure to order extra because one order is not going to be enough for two people. I made sure to order one naan for each person in my party.Special Chicken 65 ($15.99) - Decided to try something new and saw that many fellow Yelpers posted about this. It's chicken mixed with tangy and garlic sauce. The tanginess isn't too strong which was perfect for me. It pairs extremely well with rice or naan. Definitely recommend it if you're looking to try something new.Lamb Pulao (FRIDAY SPECIAL $14.99) - Our server recommended this daily special dish and since we were a fan of lamb, we decided to go for it. The portion is extremely generous. You can order one for yourself or share with at least one or two other people. Since it comes with a large portion of rice, I ended up saving some of that rice to go with my chicken tikka masala. Usually with lamb, there is a certain smell/odor that I don't like if it's not cooked properly but I was so pleasantly surprised that I could barely distinguish that odor. The meat was so tender that it came off the bone pretty easily.“

“Don't usually leave reviews but I had came in yesterday it was my first time eating there the place was kept very clean, great customer service the girl who helped me was named Crystal I think, felt very welcomed, and food was delicious definitely ordering again.“

“An excellent meal was had here by me and the BF. It is owned by a sweet husband and wife and the wife took good care of us. I got the chicken gyro for $10.99 which was delicious and she was not cheap about the tzatziki sauce and asked if we wanted extra, when does that ever happen? Answer, never! Double and triple bonus that the meat is seasoned so well. Boyfriend got the beef and the lamb plate and it was divine. The meat melts in your mouth and it came with a massive Greek salad. It was soo good. I will get that next time too (minus the onions). $14.99. They also told me, as someone with garlic sensitivity, to avoid the hummus and the chicken kabobs. I can do that! The restaurant has about 3-4 tables inside and is very quaint. Also we got homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert and they were very good. We will definitely come back!“

“Food is good! Staff is friendly, accidentally left 1 item out of my to go order once, when i got home and called they said it was sitting right in front of them and they forgot to pack it and apologized and reimbursed it. Its a rainy day place for me!“

“Called in beforehand to see if they had good halal meat for Korean BBQ or hot pot, and needed thin brisket slices. Was very impressed by the quality and affordability of the meat I was provided with, it was the perfect size for my needs and resembled the beef cuts that you can get at non-Zabihah Asian markets like Ranch 99. 100% will come again if I'm in the Torrance area.“

“As someone who works pretty much all day, everyday, I am ALWAYS hungry. I just had been working on several musical numbers and dancing for a showcase at SMC when I realized I just HAD to eat. So I go across the street for some pizza, and there was Sunny, greeting me right as I walked in! I noticed all the pepperoni and cheese pizza was gone, naturally when your 'zaa is in high demand, so instead of leaving I chose a healthy option and got the house chopped salad. BEST. SALAD. EVER. Right when I ordered it, Sunny's amazing smile lit up, and I could tell I was in for a treat. This salad was HUGE, (I needed an extra plate to separate it, taking it in two waves) and she was generous with all the toppings without overdoing it, keeping it all balanced! And with just the right amazing of salad dressing! One more word. Sensational! Thank you SaMo! And thank you Sunny!“

“I walked by and owner, Sergio is the sweetest and funny man. He said Hi and told me that they have Philly cheese steak too. That was cute because I don't eat meat. I looked at other places to see where to eat from. Then went back over here to see what I can order. Ordered their sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and white bread. Asked him for a cup of water. He's so funny. He asked, On the rocks? I said yeah with ice rocks lols. He said ok and handed me my water and said here's your cocktail. He made me laugh. I've ate here before many years ago. Like 8-9 years ago. Glad he's still here but I also asked him how come he's not retired yet. Hehe He said he loves it here. He'd be so bored at home. Haha I highly recommend here with great low prices that best everyone else's prices here. During the time when gas is high of $7 and may even go up to $10 with this biden government administration, food prices here are very helpful. I had a lovely chat with Sergio here and all his 2 staff are so genuinely sweet all the time from start to finish and beyond. :)He didn't just have best food, best prices, best customer service but the experience here felt great.“

“Delicious, all of it! Fettuccine Alfredo, Salmon with rice, BBQ ribs, Steak, salads (both caesar & blue cheese), Mediterranean platter, and the onion+bread starter which none of us had had before, all delicious! Shame we're only here for 1 night! But I think we picked the best restaurant around.“

“I drive by this place all the time as I only live a few blocks away. I was craving Indian food so I decided to give this spot a try and the fact that they sell pizza drove my curiosity even further. I ordered a Chicken Tikka masala pizza which was absolutely amazing, highly recommend that! I also ordered butter chicken, chicken Tikka masala, garlic naan, rice, and samosas for me and my family to share. The butter chicken was my 2nd favorite item I ordered. So delicious and they give you a good portion of chicken in it. I even put some of the sauce on my pizza to make it taste even better. The chicken Tikka masala that I ordered in the side tasted really good too but it was light on the chicken which was disappointing. Everything was pretty good, except the samosas. They weren't bad I just felt they were a bit on the bland side, the sauce they gave me on the side helped it out. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves Indian food!“

“My Favorite chicken place. If you love flavor Dave's is the spot. Whether you want spicy or mild Dave's has the tastiest options. The menu is limited but you don't need anything but their yummy chicken coated in tasty seasonings with possibly the best sauce I have ever had. No lie. Dave's hot chicken sauce is addictive. Popeyes who?“

“Ring new to LA I've been trying to find a quality affordable Mediterranean place and NAAB fit the bill perfectly. I got their Greek salad with chicken and added falafel and everything was on point. The salad was made of fresh ingredients, the dressing was a great mix of oil and spices. And the Hummus portion was huge and tasty. I also love that their pita bread is thin and fresh so it doesn't feel like I'm eating a whole pita with every triangular section. Highly recommended for the items I got.“
