Halal Restaurants near Newark, CA

“Don't let the parking lot fool you- this place is AWESOME inside!

They have a LARGE selection of ingredients to choose from for your hot pot as well as fruit, cake and freshly made ice cream for dessert. Drinks are included in the buffet price.

Staff are very friendly and helpful and explain things well. This was important for us as we had never been to a hot pot place before so we had no idea what to do😂.

They are open 7 days a week with lunch and dinner buffet. Call for hours and prices. We had lunch on a monday and before tip for 2 of us it was $44.95.

Definetly recommend!“

“We came early evening and enjoyed our food. I went with tofu and veggies, and my friend got steak and chicken. We also got a radish roll and a Philly roll. The food was very enjoyable, though the bite of steak I took from my friend's plate felt a little dry. As we kept eating, they turned away a few people, and we leaned they had run out of sushi rice when we asked to order a couple of rolls to take home. This was surprising because they would still be open for several hours. We ran out of tea and had to wait longer than expected to get someone's attention to pay our bill. They were quite friendly, and I would consider going back if I was craving a hearty dose of dietary fiber again as I really did enjoy my own plate.“

“The ultimate deli the r best. Sandwiches yummm 5 stars for this place ..I will be back again“

“Awesome, had the falafel gyro. It was very delicious. Crispy on the outside tasty and moist on the inside. If your looking for a meat substitute than the falafel is just the thing.�“

“This Thai halal spot never misses! I always order the broccoli beef with a big side of rice — the flavor and portions are perfect every single time. Fresh, consistent, and absolutely delicious. One of my go-to places when I want something satisfying and full of flavor in Newark! 🍛🔥“

“Excellent venue for events and food is the best.“

“Delicious burgers with options to suit all tastes. They have beef, chicken, and veggie patties as well as some without Pakistani spices for picky eaters like my daughter. They also have loaded quesadillas with fries and their signature spicy sauce which are amazing. They also have a good variety of shakes. We’ve had the mango and the Oreo Never Boreo.“

“Probably what's missing in Bay Area is a nice dine in experience and Charminar provides a best experience for dine in and a place to hang out with family and friends. It has tasty food, beautiful interior and friendly staff who follow up and take feedback in a very positive way. Will definitely come again.“

“Really glad we found this place! The slow-roasted lamb shank was amazing — super tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The lamb noodles tasted homemade by my grandma lol.

The restaurant is new and has a great vibe — clean, bright, and welcoming. Definitely one of the best new spots in town for Xinjiang (Uyghur) food. We’ll be coming back for sure!“

“Amazing burger, amazing tastes, the best cheese burger I have ever had in Falafel flame Hayward mission blvd. I strongly recommend this area for everyone Best of luck Hashmatullah faqiri“

“I give all five bc i loved the food i loved the Service of how nice he was, and the atmosphere ofc yes it was soo good, and by the way im Rahil and my mom grandma and my siblings came and we came today at 2;36 i think and came out at 3;47! We loved ur store and ur food and the burger was good!!❤️❤️“

“The food was authentic and fresh. We ordered baingan bharta and dal makhani. The best we had since last 3 decades. The Tava roti was so soft. Lachcha paratha was perfect. To top it all the best customer service. Kudos for doing an excellent job from front to back of the restaurant!“

“My go to place to sit and have a great lunch when at work. Always full and happy when leaving. Staff is pleasant and portions are plentiful. This is the only Halal Mexican place I’ve been. If you’re dying for some pork you’ll need to go elsewhere.“

“Honestly one of the best places my wife and I go too. Always make sure to stop by whenever where in the area amazing food big quantities and a great price what else would anyone want? Only issue is there isn’t one close to our house, please expand to the Central Valley 😁“

“Wonderful food! The meat in all the dishes was very flavorful, and I absolutely need to come again to try more. The noodles had great texture, the xiao long bao paired well with soy ginger sauce, the lamb kebab was crispy on the outside and tender inside, and I was gnawing on the lamb shank bone like a caveman by the end :)“

“The food was pretty good and the hand-made tortillas was something unique. I received a good service by the staff. Also, when i tried the camarones empanesados it was on the spot. Thumbs up. However, i feel like prices should be shown because I wasn't able to see until I got my bill.“

“We hired Tayyibaat to cater for my son's wedding and it was a home run. I don't recall being at a wedding feeding 150+ people where people go out of their way to comment how good the food was. That was our experience. I don't think you can get this level of quality and flavor for a large event without adding an extra 5k to the price tag. Literally everything they served was a hit from the meat, to the sauces, to even the classic Afghan salad with diced up onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Be sure to get the eggplant as well.“

“Nihari and naan of that restaurant is super great!“

“I finally found the shawarma I was looking for! For more than a decade I have searched for doner kebabs that prepare meat like the ones they do in Paris (the way the Moroccans and Algerians make it). And these folks do wonderful shawarma / kebabs. We ordered beef gyro, chicken gyro and crispy chicken burger. All of the food was 5/5. We were greeted by a super kind gentlemen named Aziz who made us feel at home.

I totally recommend this place. Will come back to try their chapli kebab next time.“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“The vibes are pristine. The environment in the restaurant is bright, beautiful and genuinely welcoming. The food came relatively quickly, and every single item was fresh and genuinely made from scratch and with love. The hummus - and surprisingly given the restaurant’s name - was for me in many ways the star of the show. Every meat was cooked pretty impeccably.

I am personally not a fan of the positive of seasoning and salt. That underscores much of Mediterranean gastronomical persuasions, but respect the art enough to know that these guys will deliver. The servers were respectful and had a dutiful energy about them insofar as they seem to take pride and the commitment to good service. Was it the most excellent Mediterranean food I’ve ever had in my life? No. But if you’re in the area and you want a very memorable, aesthetic restaurant experience in a vibe-forward, sort of way, you have to pay them a visit.“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“One of the better Halal Guys. Better than the one at The Plant“

“Amazing food highly recommend“

“We are from Connecticut, and during a recent trip to the Bay Area, we had the extreme good fortune to try the Afghan Awasana Kabob House. Oh my ... what an experience! The food was superb … an epicurean delight, but also plentiful, and very reasonably priced. The qabuli palow - a lamb shank dish was a standout, and the squash bolani - a stuffed flatbread was out of this world. The owner was very friendly during dinner, only to be surpassed by what happened after our dinner. Upon leaving, our car would not start. The owner offered to jump start our car. When that did not work, he offered us a ride back to the house where we were staying ... which we gratefully accepted. On the way, while we were thanking him profusely, he indicated that this was not an imposition as he routinely gave rides to his workers. I was moved to tears with his generosity. The Afghan Awasana Kabob House stimulated my palate, satiated my appetite, and above all, nourished my soul with renewed faith in the kindness of humanity. A truly memorable evening that will not soon be forgotten.“

“The chicken is cooked to perfection and the naan bread is good as well. My only complaint is as our group was halfway through our meal, the waitress came over to ask if we wanted dessert. After we said probably not as we were still working on what we had ordered, she then asked if she can close the tab. I felt extremely rushed. Perhaps give your customers sufficient time to finish their meal before asking whether they want dessert (while everyone was still eating) and demanding payment (her exact words were “who’s paying) at that very moment. I like what we had ordered but not sure if i would want to be back again after last nights experience. We were only there for about an hour before she asked us to pay the bill. Service at this restaurant really can use some improvement. The timing of this waitress really ruined the whole experience.“

“Simply amazing food and incredibly awesome staff ❤️👍 My addiction to ho here and eat ❤️❤️❤️ I just wish there was a Dish Dash in South San Francisco or close by 😕🙏“

“I’m not usually that kind of person that likes to leave reviews!! But this place is awesome �!! Great food, clean place, third time here and will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area .“

“Great fast food and very quick service. I would recommend for a quick easy bite to eat. Love it specially Pleasanton location“

“While being a small restaurant (it's pretty much a kitchen only with outdoor seatings), the food is absolutely delicious! Arguably the best chicken Tikka masala I have had in San Jose. I have brought some of my friends here and even they had nothing but great reviews for this place.

Update: I can strongly say that the chicken tikka masala, chicken boti sizzler, and mango lassi at Zareen's are god-tier. I have taken many people (both Indians and non-Indians) and so far, I dont think I have met anyone yet who disagrees with me on this. It's soo good that one of my friends, who wasn't a fan of Indian food, got converted and loved Zareen's. I cant stress this enough, you need to go eat at this place when you get a chance.“

“Awsm n tasty food………….. :)“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“Food is by far superb! A must try and check out the place. Food is C delicious you will love it and waiters are extra friendly“

“My friend and I had a great time at Sajj today, as usual. The service was so excellent, the staff today made sure we got a great discount with available promo codes today and were just so helpful and welcoming. I wish I could remember their names, but they deserve a shout out. Hope the manager reads this. 110% will be back for the food and service!!!“

“This is an amazing restaurant! Their food is great. We’ve catered big orders from them twice, and they’ve never let us down—their prices are fair, and they’re always on time. They have a wide variety of halal options, and their staff is personable and friendly. 10/10 recommend.“

“Went to this spot on Sunday and ordered three King Kong-size pizzas — Chipotle, Mexican, and Mixed — and let me tell you, they were incredible! Each pizza was massive, easily feeding 10+ hungry people (and probably more). The flavors were phenomenal — perfectly balanced, fresh, and full of flavor.

The owner was also one of the kindest people we’ve met. He went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, and when he found out we were visiting from out of town, he even surprised us with extra food!

If you haven’t tried this place yet, you absolutely should. Everything is 100% halal and HFSAA-certified, the place is clean, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended!“

“every one have to come and test the food.I highly recommended the Halal express Kebabs.customer service is great. I really like the food.“

“Excellent food- Visting from Chicago, and we have 100s of halal restaurants but nothing compares to this Authentic Chinese restaurant. Options for both spicy and non spicy. Large menu, but I would say, stick with basics for your first time. I don’t usually give reviews but this was actually very good.

*Zabiha halal per HAFSA“

“Good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff quick service and groovy music“

“one of the best zinger burgers in bay area.“
