Halal Restaurants in Santa Clara, CA

“The food here is unique and pretty amazing. They make their own noodles and portion sizes are generous. I ate here with my family and we got the abalone big chicken plate, along with the big beef plate. Both come with hand pulled noodles. We also tried the cold black fungus mushroom entree. Everything was delicious, but a big plate meal is sized for two people. We didn't know this going in, so we had plenty left over. Service was also really good. If you're in the mood for halal asian cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I’ve visited The Halal Cartel many times, and it’s honestly one of my favorite spots for a quick and filling meal. Every time I visit, the place is busy, which says a lot about how popular it is.

I tried the Cartel Chicken Rice Bowl, and it was really good and very filling. The rice itself is very flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I’ve tried rice bowls at several other Middle Eastern places, but the rice here really stands out to me. Combined with the white garlic sauce, spicy sauce, Cartel Special Sauce, and your choice of toppings, it makes a really satisfying meal. You can also customize the bowl and choose all the toppings you want.

The wraps are also really good. They normally come with three toppings, but you can request all the toppings if you want. Rice bowls are usually prepared extremely fast—sometimes in just about 2 minutes. Wraps usually take around 5–10 minutes, and sometimes a little longer when it’s busy.

The Mango Jalapeño Lemonade is a must-try. It’s super refreshing with a great sweet and spicy combination. The Strawberry Lemonade and Blue Raspberry Lemonade are also good.

The falafel is really good, and the masala fries are another favorite of mine.

The place also has both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor area has a playing area with table tennis, snooker, and some other games, which makes it a great place to hang out with friends while enjoying your food.

The management and staff are friendly and welcoming. Even though the place is almost always busy whenever I visit, the service is still pretty good.

Overall, I definitely recommend The Halal Cartel if you’re looking for flavorful halal food, especially if you enjoy rice bowls and wraps. I’ve visited many times, and the food has been consistently good. The flavorful rice is definitely one of the highlights for me.“

“Me and my family ended up choosing this place due to its close proximity. The guy who took our order was humbled and nice.

The pizza itself has a nice and flavorful pizza sauce which is sweet, the crust also has a nice crunch to it. The veggies were also delightful.“

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

“This was our first visit to Cairo Grill and we were very impressed by the quality of the food and variety! You’ll get the most authentic taste of Mediterranean foods there. And the rice pudding is a 10/10! You must try this for dessert! The grocery store is also truly unique and has a variety of products that you will not find anywhere else“

“Thoughtful gluten free options which are so hard to find. Clean, well run. Insane dessert crepe w Nutella and a ton of fresh fruit. Never would have known it wasn’t gluten-full. Berry smoothie w oat milk too, ‘cause we’re gluttonous. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely the BEST food and service at Eurogrill! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes sure everything is perfect. The food is outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and made with real Balkan tradition. The Ćevapi (house specialty) are simply the best I’ve ever had! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled to perfection. You can truly taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. If you’re looking for amazing Balkan food and top-notch service, Eurogrill is the place to go. Highly recommend! I will definitely be coming back again and again. 👏🔥 Ketering was perfectly arranged!“

“We got the arabi style chicken wrap with fries, 10 falafel, and the rice pudding with pistachios. The food was super warm, we really loved how crispy the wrap was and how being cut up was easy to share - plenty of food for the two of us to share.“

“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!“

“Shan is hands down the best Indian/Pakistani restaurant in the entire bay area . Food is fresh, served fast (15 min or less) , affordable prices , complimentary amazing chai , and family friendly . I was introduced to Shan 10 years ago and I must admit from day 1 I was a loyal customer . I eat there about 3 times a week and have gotten my family and friends addicted to it . If you dine in and Varnoot is on shift consider your self to be very lucky . He is one of the most kindest hard working sincere employees I’ve come across . He always goes out of his way to make you happy and feel exceptional . If I had my own restaurant I would be honored to have him on board . There’s also a female worker I think Deepo is her name who is also friendly and very welcoming . Sadly I am leaving the bay area so Shan will be for ever missed . Do try them out for your next eat out or even catering event and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. 10 Stars !“

“Very nice place for parties and delicious food“
