Halal Restaurants in San Francisco, CA

“The food an service were off the charts. If you want a cloth table covering this is the wrong place. If you want excellent food, service and an authentic bistro dining experience, we'll worth the stop! If I lived close by I would be a regular.“

“I had the opportunity to enjoy their food at a recent pop-up restaurant put on by La cucina in San Francisco! their cuisine is Algerian and very delicious! I have never had the chance to experience this particular cuisine and now I cannot wait until they open the Municipal Marketplace in San Francisco's tenderloin neighborhood! expected to open in July, KAYMA will be one of the stalls featured there. absolutely every morsel I tried at that dinner was delicious but they're brined black olives were incredible! hoping they will have them available in jars to take home!“

“Food is 9/10. You may only get 10/10 if you're physically in central Asia. At 2-3 pm the restaurant was almost empty, so there were no wait time at all. Food tasted very close to what it's supposed to be, and a waitress was nice and friendly. Honey cake is 🔥!
Overall, great experience!“

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!“

“I think their breakfast burrito is amazing but the chicken Caesar is okay. If you want to experience the real food here, get the breakfast burrito. I haven't tried the chicken tikka yet and I'm going to go back to try that.

It is closing strictly at 2:30 and they will run out of most of the food earlier. If you want to eat a breakfast burrito, you won't be able to get it at 2 p.m., especially on weekends. Be mindful of the timing“

“Great food and good costumer service“

“Exceptional flavors and ingredient combinations. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff, and excellent prices. I am only in San Francisco for 4 days and I might come back a second time because the food was so great. Well worth the visit!!!!!“

“I have try so many burgers places in SF I think this is my favorite spot now on in SF
I got the double cheese burger it was so big and fresh. The guy really surprised me with the fries I dont like skinny fries but I will come back again.“

“I had a great experience at Pronto Pizza! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was excellent everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Visited the first time after a Pal demonstration at Delores park. I preferred their vegetarian platter as it was one of the few that had baba ghanoush. The second time my church booked the back patio with about 40 people all paying separately. Was amazed they would able to make that work as most restaurants max the number of cards per table around 2. I had an issue with my order but the owner made it right. Would recommend if you’re in the mission to swing by“

“Kiosk for ordering, so no human interaction. I can’t really compare what I ate with other Mexican restaurants because of dietary restrictions. We had tacos: hand made blue corn tortillas! Meat had a charred flavor and was of good consistency. Quesabirria eas nice the consume was on good too. Overall great experience.“

“June 2026:
Had a wonderful dinner here. Saw this reviewed on Check Please and was eager to try it out.

Started with the pani puri shots. Was very tasty.

For mains, ordered the palak paneer, daal tadka, green lantern chicken, rice and naan. Everything was very tasty.

I'd order all those dishes again 😋. Service was fine. Would definitely come back again for more delicious Indian food.“

“🧆🧆🧆 **5 Stars All The Way!** 🌟

Just tried the falafel plate at **Halal Shop San Francisco** and OMG — it’s next-level delicious! 😍 The falafels were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and that creamy white sauce with the spicy red drizzle took it to another dimension 🔥🔥🔥! The rice was fluffy, the salad was super fresh, and the whole plate looked like a piece of art 😋💚

The vibes were great, service was fast, and everything tasted 100% fresh and halal 🕌✨

📍 **Halal Shop**
Alcove C, Cesar Chavez Student Center
**1650 Holloway Ave, San Francisco, CA 94132**

Can’t wait to come back for more! 🧆💥🧆💚🧆🔥🧆“

“What a treat this place was. The owner (Sal) was nothing but humble and generous. Kind to his customers and made us the meanest pastrami sandwich (The K Line) and Tri tip sandwich ( The M Line) I ever had the pleasure to experience. Truly delicious. It proves the point that San Francisco has one of the best sandwich cultures in the country. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Sal! This was truly a treat!“

“We never come to The City without a trip to Aicha. Wonderful little spot with fabulous service & delicious food. Highly recommend.“

“Their food is some of the best I’ve had in quite some time. We stumbled upon this corner restaurant by accident and had zero regrets. Our favorites are the chicken and waffle burrito and their French toast. Their French toast is the best I’ve ever had, soft and flavorful. You must check this place out!“

“Visited the vault for the first time yesterday w my bride. We were helped by both our Server, Chris, & a phenomenal manager, AJ. The food, ambiance & entire experience on Valentine's Day were top notch. The mushroom risotto w an addition of a lobster tail recommendation by Chris was out of this world amazing. My now favorite dish ever. I will have that again on my next visit. Great job Vault! 💰🏆🎖️“

“Everything looks just amazing. Truly Mediterranean came highly recommended!“

“Ordered on a whim and so glad I did. The bowl was delightful. The steak delicious and I’d definitely come back here. I’m going to be thinking about this meal for a while! Finally have somewhere to go when my husband goes to cheesesteak shop.“

“I love, love this little spot. They are fairly new to the area and I love them. Not only is the food always fresh, and packed with tons of flavor, and deliciousness, the staff is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. This is my new lunch favorite. The prices are phenomenal, especially for the area.“

“Great food lovely location“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“I ordered garlic parmesan and BBQ wings and a side of garlic fries. The food was so GOOD! You can taste how well the wings are prepared. They only thing that I didn't like was that the skin fell off the garlic parm wings. That was disappointing.The garlic fries were great and the BBQ sauce on the wings were delicious. I would recommend this place!“

“This restaurant food is much more better than other Pakistani Indian restaurants all around the US. Chicken biryani & seekh kabob was so delicious authentic Pakistani flavor specially the Tea which is so so so good like Pakistani famous Pathan’s tea and we never had an experience before this in US. The best thing is they make in front of us so the quality of the food is so fresh and yummy like your own kitchen.“

“The food is phenomenal. Everything, from the sauce, the salad, the rice, the chicken, the beef, the burger, was phenomenal. Even though the prices are not cheap, they deserve it. If the tomatoes and salad taste good, that means everything's good, and they care about everything.

After we're done, we would put that whole place out. We don't have to clean; they clean everything for us. What is the service?“

“Such a great experience eating at this restaurant. The service was top notch and the pizza was to die for.“

“They are friendly and have delicious food.“

“The Chicken Achar and Egg curry were authentic in their flavor. The Onion naan was soft and fluffy oozing freshness and flavor. We were amazed by the quality of food, given how often we get disappointed choosing an Indian restaurant based on reviews. Not a quiet place to enjoy your food but when the food is so good, everything else fades away.“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“The best taste with less spicy!“

“The food is amazing you should try their flafle. It’s amazing and staff super nice fellas“

“Great service, good food, very unique decorating,feel like in Morocco 🇲🇦“

“Authentic Afghan cuisine. Try their chapli kabobs. Perfect blend of spices, beef and texture. One of the best I have tasted in the US. Comes with a generous portion of rice, bread and side salad. Also give their Bolani a try. Excellent quailty. Owner is very gentleman.“

“A hole in the wall restaurant with no fills bell or whistles but the food is outstanding. And that’s the best authentic food in the area. Food has been consistent for the past 20 years that I and adult children have been eating here. Kuddos“

“Great Sunset neighborhood Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Friendly service. Accommodates my spice shy palate. Recently introduced thali lunch boxes perfect for single diners. Reasonable prices.“

“It’s was aww❤️ delicious food 🍲“

“Love the chicken shish kebab plate. Juicy chicken, flavorful rice, yummy hummus. It's the perfect meal. Used to get this all the time when I worked down the block and now it just lives rent free in my head. The people working there are also super pleasant.“

“I got the BIG G and this is hands down the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Super fresh and hot too! Usally when I travel I hit up different spots to try out as many different resturaunts as i can, But this spot was soo good I had to come back again. 11/10 would recomend!“

“Gyrrito is awesome tasty bizniss!!!!“

“I come here every time I land in SF. The best food in the city, quick, great service, and great flavor. I left my purse behind once and came back when they were closing, the employees were really kind and had saved it for me. Forever grateful!“

“I had to leave a review after our experience at Arabian Nights. We were visiting San Francisco with a large group of 15 people and needed a last-minute dinner reservation. Not only were they able to accommodate us, but they made the entire evening feel effortless.

A huge thank you to KG, who was one of the best waiters I’ve ever had. Managing a group of 15 is no easy task, especially when everyone is ordering food, drinks, and hookah, but he handled everything flawlessly. He was attentive, positive, outgoing, and always seemed to be one step ahead of what we needed. The level of service he provided was truly outstanding and played a huge part in making our night such a success.

The food completely exceeded my expectations. The meat platters were fantastic, the bread was fresh and delicious, and the hummus was some of the best I’ve had. Every dish that came to the table was flavorful and well prepared. Honestly, I was shocked by how good the food was. The hookahs were also excellent and added to the great atmosphere.

If you enjoy Arabic food, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It was one of the most pleasant surprises of our trip to San Francisco.

The only minor downside has nothing to do with the restaurant itself. The surrounding area can feel a little sketchy at night, and it was somewhat off-putting when we first arrived. My recommendation is to simply Uber there and back, and you’ll have nothing to worry about. Personally, I wouldn’t leave my car parked in the area.

Overall, Arabian Nights delivered amazing food, great hookah, and exceptional service. KG made sure our large group had an incredible experience, and I can’t thank him enough. We will absolutely be back next time in SF.“

“Perfect spot for a quick lunch. I first tried the food from Sajj in San Mateo. It was a "regular" lunch place for many at my office. Now that I occasionally work in SF, I was please to find a Sajj just a block away. Love that the food is fresh and bonus that it is full of flavor. I take advantage of ordering ahead and picking up on my schedule.“

“Great and delicious food awsome service and great quantinty and quality with desi taste its a place to had a food blast....... ...“

“Visit here for a variety of outstanding food options on a long menu, served to you fast, in generous portions, at a low price, by warm and attentive hosts. Not if you want fancy decor. There is a reason they have collected accolades over the years !“
