Halal Restaurants near Poway, CA

“Great place for food. So delicious! It was our first time there and we ordered two different dishes that were both so good and the person that works there offered to make us something different if we didn't like it. We definitely thought that was above and “

“I was late to lunch but the door was still open, the manager met me and said they were closed but if I would like he would make me something. I told him not to worry and he insisted that he make me some food. I accepted the the food was excellent!“

“This is not a review about the place, but a review about a person that works here. His Name is Raz and let me tell you that this guy will go above and beyond for you. My wife and I were visiting the coffee place next door and lost our keys. We thought maybe we had lost them in the parking lot so we went next door to see of maybe somebody that visited the place next door had turned them in , that's when we met Raz. If the owner personally knows Raz just know that he went above and beyond to try and help us and we hope that if there is some type of employee compensation for his actions because his care, time, and compassion he displayed made our unfortunate situation go alot easier. We are visiting from out of town and I had my wife and 1 yr old daughter. Eventually we found our keys but as mentioned before if it wasn't for Raz our situation would have felt worst“

“I loved my falafel wrap from here. I have been looking for a falafel with a soft core and a not too oily fried exterior, and this was exactly it. Partner got the lamb shank and I was eating the rice that came with it on its own.Ample parking .“

“5/5 stars all the way. We ordered the "Kabob Platter #1" and were pleasantly surprised with the taste and value of the meal! The meat was tender, flavorful, and wasn't too fatty or salty. There was about 2.5-3 pounds of meat! For $50, there aren't too many places in San Diego that you can get such a large (and mostly lean) portion of protein. It also included about 2 - 3 cups of basmati rice, a small portion of salad, mint chutney, some variation of spicy mayo, and two large breads. We would've preferred a more traditional naan, but we were too happy with everything else to be too bothered by it. The location was great. Ample parking. Outdoor seating. Nice decoration inside the shop. Clean. The service was great. It wasn't too prompt, but I think there was only one gentleman working the front, so we didn't mind. He was kind and friendly. However, the food came out pretty darn quick. We totally recommend this Pakistani restaurant to anyone!! Especially if you're looking for a healthier, higher-protein, high-value meal!!!“

“Wow…this place is blowing up with awesome food and flavors. We tried many options and they were all fantastic. We order chicken and goat sukka, butter chicken, tikka Marsala, veg street noodles (so good we ordered the chicken ones also) butter naan, biryani, rice, white rice, and basmati rice. For appetizers, try the tandoori chicken and chicken 65. Everything including the service was awesome.“

“Traditional Afghan cuisine. I have been doing commercial real estate for a living for 36 years and l eat at restaurants all the time. This particular place is my very favorite for Mediterranean food. I love the food and the service. I drive one hour just to come and it here. It is worth the drive ???“

“Pretty good hot chicken place, I usually go for the slider combo with the hot spice level, which has a good balance between flavor and spice. The fry portion isn't too small nor too large either. The only thing to keep in mind is that they make orders in batches only so the wait might be 20 to 30 minutes before it's ready.“

“Alladdin Cafe is famous for Mediterranean food such asKebab, Shawerma, Gyros etc.​Prices in this restaurant are a little bit more expensive than other Mediterranean restaurant.I ate shish kebab mix which is includeChicken, Lamb and Beef Kebab with rice, hummus, garlic sauce and tomatoes​For dessert, Turkish Ice Cream andKunafa are perfect.​“

“Alhamdullilah amazing food and amazing people. I recommend them for every Muslim as the food is amazing. The service is excellent and our own people Alhamdullilah. May Allah SWT bless you immensely and I will always be there with my friends and family for great food. JazAllahu khair. With love, respect, and duas! Nayo Ahmadi“

“Excellent Indian food. I've been here several times and the food is consistently good. I highly recommend the Butter Chicken, the Garlic Naan and the Mango Lassi. The prices are fair, the service is good and the place is clean and cozy. My go-to restaurant when I'm hungry and I want to eat good food without waiting.“

“The food is good, however, the portions for the price is a little high. The humus was my absolute favorite, and the salad was good as well. The meat, was not bad, but I’ve had better. Overall, I would definitely give them a second chance. Parking is a little tight, and there’s plenty of seating. Friendly staff, and good food. They also have pizza.“

“My coworker and I came here on a Friday night, I think he had some sort of Groupon. We ordered a ton of things: Masala Vada - Deep fried chana dal patties served with Chutney, Masala Dosa - Dosa stuffed with masala (potato, carrot, peas and onion), Vegetable Biryani - Dosa stuffed with masala (potato, carrot, peas and onion), Malai Kofta - Deep fried balls (koftas) made with potato and paneer are dunked in a creamy spiced velvety smooth curry, Gobi Manchurian - Cauliflower florets tossed in hot chilli and soy based manchurian sauce, Bisi Bele Bath - Rice, lentils, and vegetables cooked with special blend of spices, Onion Naan and Garlic Naan. Food was amazing and I would love to come here again!“

“Updated reviewCame here again a year later and I have to say the food is very good. Had the ox tail soup, curried fried rice, fried dumplings, sweet and sound shrimp, and king Lao chicken. Everything was very good, fresh, and came out quickly. Service is still hectic though.———-I really wanted to give this place a better rating because it is really the only halal Chinese spot in San Diego. The food was ok and the service was ok. But I probably would not come here again.We ordered a few different dishes but many of them tasted the same. The lamb cumin was very different than other lamb cumin I have tried. This one was like doused in cumin powder and didn’t have any red peppers which at other Chinese restaurants always do. The beef soup tasted like pure soy sauce, just full of sodium. The curry fried rice we ordered is not what we got. My friend said last time he came it had a yellow sauce on top, this time was just a normal fried rice dish. Not sure what’s going on there.The place was very busy but the service was fast and felt hectic. The owners really should hire at least one server and not try to do everything on their own. I really hope they can get better because it is a nice spot.“

“Went to this place a couple weeks to catch the happy hour. We've been looking for good indian food since the pandemic and we have found it!! Garry was the best and was attentive to our needs. When the tables started to fill up, he got a bit busy but he would check in and see if we needed anything else. Food was delicious and the MANGOSSSSSS! So good! Try out the happy hour! Will go again. (Side note: The restaurant has a rental hall and it does get a bit loud when they play music but we didn't mind. )“
