Halal Restaurants near Orange, CA

“Absolutely delicious. If you are looking to try something new. Don’t hesitate. I can’t wait to go back. Portions are good. You could share but you won’t want to. Yum.. Price is great. I’m a happy customer. And I’m sure you will be to.“

“The food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first visit!“

“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!“

“Incredible meal at M Joy! The lamb was perfectly cooked and so flavorful—truly great. Combined with the high-quality ingredients and the amazingly friendly and attentive service, this place is a real gem. An absolute must-try! We can't wait to come back.“

“Yes and yes! Great menu! Will be back!“

“We arrived earlier than the food truck and almost missed them, but luckily right as we were looking for dinner alternatives they pulled in! Absolutely delicious, we ordered the 24" chicken shawarma meal with extra pickles. The chicken was super delicious, and the fries really hit the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing place! The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Portions are great for the price, and everything feels very reasonably priced, especially for the quality you get. Another big plus is the parking: plenty of space and no hassle at all. Overall, great food, fair prices, and convenient parking. Definitely coming back and highly recommend it!“

“I always get the combo over rice with white sauce. The meat is always consistent and I enjoy the food very much. The restaurant is clean and the employees are great. Good service overall at the Garden Grove location.

Parking: Park anywhere it is available.“

“Loved this spot. My favorite Pakistani restaurant so far in Orange County! Fine dining restaurant with great ambience. Food was great. Delicious, flavorful, filling Desi food. Definitely recommend the lamb chops and Chicken Karhai.“

“First time ordering fried chicken from this place.
I ordered 24 pieces of the legs and thighs.
I wanted to order all legs. But unfortunately not possible.
The chicken tasted really good and crispy.
Though my family prefer the legs more, so ended with lots of thighs leftovers, but all the chicken legs were gone.
I wish they'd allow the option of just chicken legs like Popeyes. I'd come back more if there's that option.“

“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.“

“As a self-proclaimed foodie, I don’t throw around superlatives lightly — but this place has hands down become my best Sunday brunch experience in Southern California, and I genuinely feel like people are sleeping on it.
If you grew up eating authentic Pakistani food or have ever chased that real, unapologetic desi flavor, you know exactly what I mean when I say most places just don’t hit the mark. This one does. Every single metric — the spices, the freshness, the depth of flavor, the portions — it all checks out in a way that’s increasingly rare to find.
For years, Shahnawaz was my go-to Sunday brunch spot, and I loved it. But after discovering this place, there’s simply no comparison. The food here is better in every way. It’s not even close.
The only “problem”? It’s a bit hidden. No flashy signage, no hype machine behind it — just incredible food waiting to be found by the right people. And that’s exactly why I’m writing this. If you haven’t been, you are genuinely missing out.
Do yourself a favor — make it your next Sunday ritual. Your taste buds will thank you.“

“🔥🔥 🔥 REMON, YOU HAVE CHANGED THE GAME!!! 💥💥 💥 MIND-BLOWN 🤯 ? … ✅ ✅✅ I’m sooo in awe of the experience I just had at his restaurant, literally minutes ago. He literally CURED ME with one of THE MOST AROMATIC, FLAVORFUL, & DISHES EVER! Tas2Go… has REDEFINED: … comfort food, … fast food, … authenticity, … wholesomeness, … small business, … deliciousness, … high quality ingredients, … passion-inspired dishes, & … start-up exponential growth! (and growing) This is one of those foodie experiences you just have to have to say that you lived!!! My senses are have been in high alert since I first bit into my hawawshi! It’s like haunting 👻 me how immediate my senses were infused with a “ratatouille” ✨of flavors and aromas! As I was driving away, I debated turning back for seconds and still am as we’re quickly approaching closing time in 52 minutes and counting!!!! Will definitely be back (as I cringe thinking this is my newest addiction and inevitably where all my money will go)! Well done, Remon! Well done! 🏆“

“I've been in search for a place that serves good quality desi street food and snacks and this place did not disappoint! I had their pappri chat, kabob pizza and freezi mint drink and all was so satisfying! Everything was high quality and taste! Highly recommend if you're craving Pakistani cafe type of food and drinks!“

“GUYS, if you haven’t tried it, you are MISSING OUT . Soooooo goood.“

“first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn’t taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don’t usually drink black coffee unless it’s very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it’s good but on the pricier end.“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“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.“

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

“really recommend so yammy and the price is good variety of meals must try“

“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“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything was amazing all around. The customer service was on point. One of the workers Kathy was on point, she checked up on us and she just was amazing. The food was great really spicy but that’s the experience we went for when we got the roulette. If I could give ten stars I would.“

“Great food n exceptional service. Definitely Recommend it if you’re in mood for some great burger and wings“

“Pretty good, but kind of overrated.“

“You HAVE to try the chicken yufka. Phenomenal. Get a tatuni salad on the side, you will want to add more to the yufka it's delicious. The hot sauce isn't that spicy, but the flavor elevates the yufka so well. I wasn't even that hungry when I came in and I demolished my plate. The owner is so sweet, please give this shop a visit.“

“Excellent food and fast service!“

“Best Turkish food that is easy flavorful consistent and never misses. I love this place“

“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“The food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first 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 food same like karachi. Halal for Muslim brothers.“

“Great food. Very Happy I stopped there for dinner. I will be going back there again soon.“

“Great service and reasonable prices“

“I recently tried Kimo’s Shawarma and it was honestly one of the best shawarma spots I’ve been to. The meat was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and you can tell everything is made fresh. The garlic sauce was rich and creamy without being overpowering, and it paired perfectly with the warm, soft pita.

The portions were generous, especially for the price, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The place itself was clean and had a relaxed, casual vibe.

If you’re craving authentic, delicious shawarma with great service and value, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“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. :)“

“I missed it so I had to do a U Turn. But let me say this, sometimes we think “oh that taste good for a cheap pizza “ well this isn’t the scenario here. The price is very affordable and the pizza is better than any chain pizza. Also better than most pizzas in the area. I highly recommend it. You can’t beat the price. The pizza has a strong hint of garlic which I don’t mind. I drove from Irvine and when I finished the pizza thought about driving back for another one! It was so good!! They do not do mediums here! Just fyi“

“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.“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“Great workers great food 10/10“

“Very friendly service and the girl at the register was really sweet. The food was very good. I ordered soup and lahmacun and both were delicious. The only small issue was the wait time it took a little longer than expected for simple things like soup and lahmacun but overall everything was good.“

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

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“Good food and good service“

“Love going to Dave's Hot Chicken! Today they messed up a little and gave me Medium instead of Mild so I decided to try it hehe It was pretty good a little hot but very tasty. Always when I go to this location Juila most of time is there and she was today also and is always very friendly and helpful! I gave 5 stars today still because the food was very yummy and sometime a mistake can turn it to something that was meant to be :)“

“Everything is delicious & authentic. It’s as if it were made by my own Lebanese family. Diverse menu options - so if you do or don’t eat meat - you will find lots of yummy options.“

“BEST BEST EVERYTHING!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Ikram Grill. The food was absolutely perfect — clean, delicious, well-prepared, and served warm just the way it should be. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care and pride. The portions were incredibly generous; there was so much food that we happily took some home with us, and it was just as good later.

The service was beyond perfection. Truly outstanding. The employees were attentive, kind, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. They made us feel genuinely taken care of, not rushed, not overlooked — just appreciated as customers. Anything you could possibly want from an eatery or restaurant, Ikram Grill had it to offer.

This kind of work is not easy. It’s hard work, demanding work, and yet they make it look effortless. That alone speaks volumes about the people behind this place and the standards they hold themselves to. The care, consistency, and effort show in every detail — from the food to the service to the overall experience.

No one asked me to write this review. I’m doing it entirely on my own, and I’m truly happy to do so. Ikram Grill deserves the recognition. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. I will absolutely be back and will gladly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.“

“Good service, good food friendly staff“

“We had the pleasure to go to Cloud Naan Urban BBQ . We received the excellent service..By far it was the best BBQ, we have had. We highly recommend Cloud Naan for excellent customer service..“
