Halal Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“What a lovely addition to the stanford shopping center!

Among all the kebabs, the chicken kebab is our fav!

- chicken kebab
- classic hummus
- cucumber lemonade
- scrambled eggs with sausage (brunch item)

Chicken kebab is our favorite, we ordered many times, and each time is consistently good!

Classic hummus, great, who doesn’t love classic hummus!

The scrambled egg we hope it can be slightly larger in portion, but still very flavorful!

Oh and the cucumber lemonade is refreshing too!“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“delicious! went on a tuesday night and so many people were there, but i still had a pretty easy time getting seated. the food is so good. i couldn’t stop eating and was so full afterwards! i love how tender the chicken in the chicken tikka masala was. the garlic naan was also my favorite.“

“Amazing food highly recommend“

“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.“

“Yay Wendell is back!!! Wendell was the previous owner of the Depot Café. She makes a tocino breakfast with garlic rice and eggs that is fantastic and my go-to. I’ve never had a bad meal there and I ate there probably three days a week while she owned it. I was so disappointed when she sold to that other fella and he pretty much destroyed the restaurant with his food…(it was awful). It was not good and he was not very clean. Counters were dirty, stuff like that. The one thing I can say about having Wendell back is the depot café is being run clean again. You can tell that cleanliness is next to godliness when it comes to Wendell because it’s noticeably cleaner. I stopped coming after my last food experience here, and it wasn’t until I noticed Wendell moving back in that I came back. I ride the train every day, so having my favorite restaurant cafe back to its good food, great conversation is the upgrade that this place needed. I am so happy to be able to come back to the Depot café again! Welcome back Wendell! Those of us that ride the train all the time couldn’t be happier about it.“

“Delicious. The Yorker burger was so satisfying.“

“Decided to give them another try after a long while. The traditional food is really good as that’s where they shine. I would still clear of the burgers, nothing wrong with it, but I would go to a burger place for a burger and stick to Zareen’s for traditional food. The charga is incredible!!“

“Never had Uyghur cuisine before, and I'm sorry I waited this long. Absolutely delicious. Ordered the samsas appetizer (one chicken, one beef). Flaky, buttery pastry goodness wrapped around well seasoned meats.
For my entree I went with the lagham noodles and they did not disappoint. The noodles were so good, I would eat a bowl of them alone. Great flavorful dish. Definitely will come back here every time I'm in town on business.“

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

“Great experience! Food was fresh, served quickly and delicious. Loved the customer service! Will definitely be coming back! Wishing you guys the best!“

“If you’re looking for the best authentic Nepali cuisine in Sunnyvale, California, The Gurkha Kitchen is a must-visit. This place captures the true essence of Nepali flavors, offering a wide variety of traditional dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. The warm and inviting ambiance, combined with friendly service, makes it a favorite spot for Nepali food lovers. Whether it’s their momos, dal bhat, or signature curries, every dish is a treat for the taste buds. For anyone craving genuine Nepali cuisine, The Gurkha Kitchen is the place to be. Highly recommended for a taste of Nepal!“

“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.“

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.“

“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 😕🙏“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“great place and nice food“

“Really solid food. Great flavors, we had the Tikka Masala and the Pakistani beef dish. The naan was generous, we only wish the meat dishes had just a bit more meat to feel generous. That’s a good thing that we wanted more. Definitely a solid place.“

“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 .“

“The food was really good, full of flavor and definitely one of the better meals we’ve had in a while. It’s great to finally find a place where the taste stands out. The only downside was the long waiting lines, and the staff seemed quite overwhelmed. Service could be smoother, but the food makes it worth trying.“

“Nice to run into this cafe on a Saturday morning. Everything is well presented. This cafe is inside oakmont sandwich shop and is pet friendly.

We ordered Mediterranean chicken panini, portion size is enough. I ordered Avocado Toast - a secret menu item, need to ask to order.

Cappuccino and Vietnam coffee are both tasty. I am a picky coffee drinker and their coffee drink quality is pretty good.

Recommend for people nearby for brunch or quick lunch.“

“Zareen’s. Is. Amazing.

This place has the best Mango Soft Serve, best Mango Lassi, and best Sheermaal I’ve had in the US.

The food, vibe, and personality of the restaurant are unmatched in the entire bay, nay, even the entirety of America.

My family and I are foodies, and I attest that this place is a must visit in the Bay. This is personally my favorite location but any is amazing.

If you’re reading this and debating on going/bringing your family/visiting for the first time, just come. I am telling you that you won’t be disappointed.“

“A great Japanese restuarant offering halal hibachi and sushi rolls. Small but cosy ambiance.
Personally love their dinner hibachi (Steak & chicken , steak & beef both). They serve hibachi with a soup and some salad which is great stuff. The spicy tuna rolls and the Californian rolls are worth the treat. I personally feel the hibachi serving should be slightly more but I don’t mind the current serving as well.
What I did not like was yakisoba, it had very less veges. Service overall is great. Must try if you’re looking for halal Japanese good food. However, it’s a bit pricy comparatively.“

“Food was Great! Service super Friendly Restaurant very clean, great place to have a bite. i recommend it. we coming back“

“My family and I are fans of their services. They offer exceptional halal pizza, perfect for a variety of events. Every time I’ve brought their pizza to an event, it has been a huge hit—guests always rave about it and ask where it’s from. Their customer service is truly outstanding. On one occasion, when my baby was asleep in the car and I couldn’t step out, they kindly brought the pizza directly to my car. Their helpfulness and consideration left a lasting impression.“

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

“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.�“

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

“ChickenG’s has AMAZING flavor! It gives you a long marinaded taste. Even their chicken strips are wonderfully moist and flavorful like. Off the bone! You gotta give them a try!“

“Ever since I walked into this restaurant, I instantly fell in love. The clean, healthy, tasty, perfectly portioned sized, and masterly prepared dishes by Ali, and his friendly staff, keep me coming back. My new favorites are the lentil soup, and lamb shank (limited menu special). Satisfying food experience I highly recommend.“
