Halal Restaurants near Newport Beach, CA

“The food here is awesome. The vibe is pretty great too. It was a bit empty when we came for a 6:30 dinner, but they were setting up a band for later. Only downside is the road noise, but otherwise a perfect evening. We ordered hummus, fried mushrooms, lamb kebab, and beef combo kebab. Super tasty, and very tender and juicy meats. Definitely will come back!“

“I highly recommend that you stop to eat here whenever you can. Amazing five star food. Staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly and helpful. Amazingly clean restaurant too. You will not be disappointed unless you pass them by and don't stop in.“

“Halal spot ; We were on the way to South back home and stop by this restaurant for our light dinner.
I think it’s family owned and the prices are pretty reasonable. The staff were very friendly, and assisted us in ordering. Everything turned out good, they were super nice providing us extra condiments, etc. Be sure to select your spice level wisely cuz we ended up in tears, but we still enjoyed it though.

We hope that we can visit this place again next time we are on the way back from north
** hoping for a new branch near San Clemente soon.. we will be your regular customers“

“The food here is absolutely incredible — every dish is delicious and full of flavor! The staff is very friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is wonderful, with beautiful decorations that create such a cozy vibe.

But my favorite part is the payment system for large groups: using the QR-code makes it super easy, and everyone can pay for themselves without any stress or splitting the bills. We love coming back here, whether it’s just a small dinner or a big celebration with friends. Highly recommended!“

“The guy who makes the Manti and the Samsa wasn’t there. That made me a little sad but our food came out really fast. It was a very homely atmosphere. The food literally almost caused me to ascend. The food was incredible. I have no complaints.“

“Coffee is really good! The turkish bagel (Simit) is THE best in California!!! We got a turkish breakfast plate, shakshuka, and the cheese omelette and everything was amazing. Great service and the owner is super cute :)
They also have amazing eclairs - a must try!“

“Great Halal Food options in LA. Delicious food. Loved their Cheeseburger and special sauce. A must have if you ever visit this place.

The only thing off was their ambience and atmosphere. Extremely dull and off-putting. No modern vibe of a cafe.“

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“I won't let one weird employee knock my rating down of this location. Usually the customer service is pretty good, but on this day 11/29/25 @ 1030pm The younger guy working the cash register had zero customer service skills. He seemed annoyed at the very first interaction and rushed me through my order. Maybe that's just his personality because he seemed to be like that with everyone. Gotta work on that for real“

“Some of the best food you will ever have. Great family owned businesses and also great catering. This is our to go place for authentic Egyptian food.“

“Arad is an outstanding cashier at Dave’s! Every time I’ve come in, he’s been friendly, professional, and quick at the register. He always greets customers with a genuine smile and makes the checkout process smooth and pleasant. It’s clear he cares about doing a great job and creating a positive experience for everyone. Shoutout to moe and arda for consistently excellent service!“

“Food is excellent, excellent service , they take the time to make sure food is 100 % perfect and flavors are amazing!!!!!“

“I was visiting from Montreal, Canada, and I’m so glad I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken! The food was absolutely amazing—crispy, flavorful, and the perfect level of spice. What really made my experience special, though, was the outstanding service. The manager, was incredibly welcoming, took the time to suggest the best sauces to pair with my chicken, and made me feel like a valued customer from start to finish. It’s not every day you encounter such genuine hospitality!

Now, whenever anyone is visiting Orange County, I’ll be sure to refer them to this spot. If you're in the area, don't miss out—definitely worth the visit!“

“Great experience eating in there… paratha qeema was delicious, and off-course their Jalapeño Burger is of different level (since i tried it first in their lakewood’s branch) Tried their hookah and experience was great! Just a suggestion, please make it available through out the week 😊, if possible!!!!“

“Great hole-in-the-wall place to get authentic, freshly made Turkish food. The food is not heavy, but nutritionally diverse, and satisfying - it's a great alternative to McDonald's or Costco food after visiting Costco or Costco Gas.“

“Excellent food and fast service!“

“Pretty good, but kind of overrated.“

“I had a great experience at this pizzeria! The portions were generous and everything I tried was really good and delicious. The staff was friendly and always smiling, which made the visit even better. We will gladly come back again.
The French family“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“My wife and I ordered the Mediterranean Bowls. I ordered the chicken schwarma and she ordered the chicken Kabob. Staff was very friendly and even offered us Turkish Tea to taste when we were done with our food. We're not from the area but would definitely eat here again when we're back in the area.“

“Great service and reasonable prices“

“This savory food fills the tummy with comfort and feeds the soul with pleasure clare“

“Great food! Great service! This is one of the best places for lunch in Irvine!“

“YES YES YES YES! A million times YES!

I am Lebanese and this is probably one of the best authentic middle eastern Lebanese places I’ve ever been to!

Flavor was on point, customer service was amazing, food was WOW and the ambience was very nice.

Come here with your eyes closed and don’t worry about a thing. You’re gonna have a great experience!“

“Excellent Indian food“

“Flavor flavor flavor so bomb. I think everything is made in house. They have like 200 different types of baklava. Hahaha. I think it's 6 or 8 but they also have a rice pudding that's really Good. Come to think of it. I've never been let down on anything I've eaten at this place. I believe it's family owned and operated. I live an hour and a half away every time I'm in the area. This is my go-to spot“

“The Reaper chicken.
That's what I've been seeing on social media.
I got it. It was hot, but not as hot as everyone made it seem.
Don't get me wrong, it was delicious and very spicy. But it's not for the weak. 👍“

“Thank you so much to the gentleman who provided me with the most amazing customer service tonight. He brought my food out to the car for me so I didn’t have to take all three of my kids in. He didn’t have to but he was happy to do it. So thank you so much. Also the food is always amazing have been going here for a long time now ✨“

“Great service, really premium meat, family friendly, we tried Halal lamb and it was vey delicious, tender and perfectly marinated with great spices.
This place is definitely GoTo when you want to Try Korean BBQ style.
Homemade desserts worth the try“

“I first ate at The Halal Guys on the street in Manhattan and immediately counted it as one of my go to places to eat. The red sauce adds the right kick to the combo platter, which is almost a two-meal entree. Great portions, great flavors, and worth the fair price.“

“Excellent service and food“

“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!“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“Great dinner, our server was excellent! Loved the guitarist.“

“It’s bad the lady is so rude, she don’t know how to handle the customers“

“Best fried chicken ever! Combination of spices and coleslaw makes your mouth water!“

“i’ve been lucky to eat indian food in the uk, scotland, ireland, america, and canada — and this is THE best curry and naan i’ve ever had. on top of it, the service was incredibly welcoming and kind. please introduce a 6th star just for this place!!“

“The food is great but the customer service sucks! Please train your employees properly. Don’t hire anti-social people!“

“One of the most sub standard experience! The food had all the same curry base, made from canned ingredients. The staff was unhelpful and did not care at all. The seating is narrow and cheap. The portion size of s horrible. The taste of the food is awe filling because it’s probably microwaved rather than cooked properly. Horrible experience. Stay away! There are better Indian restaurants.“
