Halal Restaurants near San Leandro, CA

“I love Dave’s Hot Chicken. The food is always incredible and packaged with care. Also the food is always out in a timely manner. The team is always nice and helpful, and the location is well put together. The one in Oakland is wonderful too. Thank you guys !“

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!“

“Just go! There's a parking lot so you won't need to circle to find a spot. The food is INCREDIBLE!
And they have a little hidden oasis in the back where one can eat a crazy good burger & spiced fries.
It's the little things that matter - the special sauce, the sink in the back where we could wash our hands before / after eating, and the incredible service & smiles we received when we walked in. We'll be back anytime we are in the neighborhood!!“

“Stopped by OakTown Kabobs and had a really good experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with generous portions that made for a satisfying meal.

The place has a casual, welcoming atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive. Great spot for tasty kabobs and a relaxed dining experience 👍“

“I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect butter chicken/chicken tikka masala and I’m happy I found this place. I ordered both extra spicy, both really good. The containers weren’t marked so I’m unsure I don’t know which one is which. I prefer the one with cubed chicken, if you happen to read this would you please tell me which one it is?“

“We enjoyed they chapli kebab, I would say this is my favorite spot to get it actually. Great portion for the price! We tried the Mantu and that was our first time ever trying and I could say it was delicious and a great first experience for Mantu.“

“Amazing burger, amazing tastes, the best cheese burger I have ever had in Falafel flame Hayward mission blvd. I strongly recommend this area for everyone Best of luck Hashmatullah faqiri“

“This is the best South Asian cuisine I have had outside of my home. The food actually tastes authentic and not watered down for people who do not like spicy food. The goat biryani, chicken biryani, and goat karahi were excellent. If you are in the Oakland area, you have to try this place out!“

“Okay wow. My kids love this spot and I never tried it bc I thought it was just whatever but I finally ordered a single tender for myself to see what the hype was all about and it was so good!!! I got mild which is just a tiny kick but not where you need to find water and it was so good! Amazingly crispy even after waiting after I had driven home to eat it and the pickles and super soft slice of bread was the perfect complement. The batter is very tasty with a hint of sweet and the chicken itself felt like great quality and wasn’t dry. Okay I get it now! Will order myself some food the next time the kids ask for this!“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“I've been wanting to visit forever, and it didn't disappoint! We arrived near opening time with no wait, but there was a line by the time we finished.

We shared smoked brisket, smoked ayam lumpia, nasi goreng, rujak slaw, and macaroni goreng—just the right amount for three of us. The brisket was tender, and everything was flavorful, with the slaw providing a nice crunch. I'd definitely return!“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“When I search for a burrito I’m looking for the biggest messiest flavor packed burrito I can find—Casa Maria’s birria burrito had me on the floor. I went back the next day for the shredded chicken and it was quality meat soaked in a delicious sauce. The spicy salsa was thick, spicy, and amazing. They do not skimp here. They are also friendly and clean. Impressed all around. Don’t hesitate, eat here.“

“Falooda and I must say that it was so rich in taste , flavours & very authentic.“

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!“

“We usually get delivery, but have eaten at the restaurant a couple of times, and it's been a comfortable experience.

The food, though—the food is soooo good! The pizza is always a good choice, and I often find myself going for the rigatoni pasta with Alfredo sauce and chicken. It's cooked perfectly, and it comes with garlic bread!

The salads are a good size for sharing, and we usually order the Caesar.

They offer halal meat options, which is not a consideration for me, but it's good to see that they are conscious of their customers' needs and preferences.

The people are really nice, too!“

“The food tastes great and at a good price! :)“

“The best food I have had in a long time! Great taste and excellent customer service. A must try !“

“JazakAllah the food was amazing Im going to spread the word please keep doing the good work 🙏“

“The food was pretty good and the hand-made tortillas was something unique. I received a good service by the staff. Also, when i tried the camarones empanesados it was on the spot. Thumbs up. However, i feel like prices should be shown because I wasn't able to see until I got my bill.“

“The chicken halal plate from this place is Beyond DELICIOUS! If you like halal food, you won’t be disappointed eating here. It’s pretty good. The block it’s in can be sketchy at times, so practice caution when parking, stay alert and quick purchasing. They also have really good herbs, seasonings and products to purchase.“

“Super delicious, 5 star quality. This is definitely my place for eats !!! Excellent everything. Trust me it’s quality food best of the best !“

“Nice and clean environment. Delicious food.“

“What a hidden gem in Oakland! If you're looking for authentic halal smash burgers, delicious wings, and comfort food made with passion, this is the place to be. Every bite tasted fresh and was clearly prepared with pride and attention to detail.
What made the experience even more special was meeting the owner in person. You can instantly tell he's pouring his heart and soul into this business, and his love for cooking and serving customers shines through in everything they do.
The restaurant is spacious, perfect for families and large groups, and they even have a pool table where you can relax, have fun, and unwind while waiting for your food or hanging out after your meal. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and very family friendly.“

“First time tried their subs. It was very tasty and good quality. Thankful that we have a halal subs close by. Highly recommend.“

“Best burger In town! Recommend.“

“Heck yes it’s good! I’ve had this from time to time at middle eastern restaurants and never knew what it was called. Got my a few days ago and it’s amazing. Definitely check it out.“

“Best food in town. If you love Indian food then you should go and try their authentic Indian food. I am pretty much sure that you won’t be disappointed. I give them 5 out of 5.“

“Best lamb I’ve had. Kids loved it too!!! Our new spot“

“Marhabah Cafe brings a wonderfully warm and authentic taste of Yemeni coffee culture straight to Oakland. The cozy, inviting atmosphere is the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends. From their richly spiced traditional Qishr to exceptional pastries, every item is crafted with incredible care. I will absolutely be stopping by again soon.“

“Will be coming back to try the Xtra Hot and Holy Chick. Decided to start at HOT which already contains ghost pepper.

I got the hot tender and I got my wife the medium sandwich. She said that the medium wasn't that spicy (she can handle spicy tho). And for me the hot was a decent heat level and very enjoyable with some honey.

I personally wouldn't get the mad again though. Didn't care for the flavor or the sauce texture. Just generic tasting.

Looking forward to coming back and trying the Xtra Hot.“

“I have to say this experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.

A dear friend insisted I try the pineapple coconut cakes, ordering four and telling me “you will see.” That level of confidence immediately raised my curiosity and it absolutely delivered.

From the moment I walked in, the staff set the tone. They were kind, informative, patient, and genuinely welcoming. That level of service matters, and they got it right.

I initially ordered four plates and appreciated the menu variety, especially seeing whole chicken wings offered. But the real moment came when I sampled the shrimp in my car. It was outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and memorable.

I turned right back around and ordered an additional plate with catfish and shrimp, and that sealed it for me. The shrimp are 🔥🔥🔥!

This is the kind of place that earns repeat visits. The food is bold, the service is warm, and the overall experience leaves a lasting impression. I will absolutely be back.“

“Staff is friendly and the lunch box wall decor is cute. Parking will NOT be in your favor tho.“

“The Fish Pakora at Favorite Indian Restaurant in Hayward is always fresh, crispy, and bursting with flavor. A must-try appetizer that pairs perfectly with their chutneys“

“It was truly a great place to sit and eat at. The food was amazing and delicious. I recommend this restaurant and will be going back. However, there is always room for improvement, the owners family or friends were sitting in the restaurant and was sometimes noisy with kids running around and mess with toys. Beside that it was all good.“

“I was there 7/19, I was beyond impressed with how the Egusi soup is beyond amazing with the use of olive oil with minimal palm oil.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Egusi Soup and fufu. The jollof rice was amazing also. I will be back before leaving the area. VERY GOOD SERVICE, FOOD, ATMOSPHERE!!!!“

“The food was full of authentic
Peshawari flavor. Service is always great and people are very nice .The food is very high quality fresh and best. Always have great experience here. Everytime I go with my family I sit at the decorated lounge which is very beautiful. Highly recommend“

“Very nice little Indian restaurant close to work. I've always enjoyed the dishes I've tried here great authentic taste and flavor. I especially love their aloo paratha and chicken tikka masala. My only issue is that they are not consistent with their timings. They say they open at 12 noon, but sometimes they are closed or not even open by 12:30.“

“5 stars. This place is a gem.

We had lunch here and the food was really delicious. We ordered the qabuli palo, house salad, and chicken wings — everything was perfect.

The qabuli palo was flavorful and cooked just right, with tender meat and aromatic rice. The house salad was fresh and a great balance to the meal.

But the crispy wings were such a WOW. Seasoned perfectly, super crispy on the outside, juicy inside. Easily the highlight.

Service was friendly and the place felt welcoming. We’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Highly recommend if you want authentic, delicious food done right.“
