Halal Restaurants in Santa Clara, CA

“Possibly the best noodle soup we had anywhere. Amazing noodles, broth, great ingredients, subtle spices that do not overwhelm and mask the overall taste.

Clean and tidy place, pleasant servers.

Make sure to pay attention to their closing times or call ahead to make sure, as they close the kitchen a little earlier than what they have on their site.“

“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!“

“🌯 The Gold Standard for Authentic Shawarma
If you are looking for the best shawarma in the area, look no further than Shawarmaji. This place serves what I can honestly say is the best shawarma I have had to date. The meat is perfectly seasoned and slow-roasted to a juicy perfection, and the wraps themselves are incredibly hearty and filling. Whether you go for the chicken or the lamb, you are getting a massive portion that satisfies even the biggest appetite. It was so delicious that I found myself ordering a second one to eat before I even left the building—it is genuinely that addictive.

🍯 Fantastic Signature Sauces (That You Can Buy!)
The real secret to their success has to be the sauces. They are absolutely fantastic and elevate the entire meal. Their garlic toum is legendary—thick, creamy, and packed with that bold garlic punch that every shawarma lover craves. They also have a spicy shatta that adds the perfect level of heat without being overwhelming. A major highlight for me was discovering that they actually sell their sauces in-store. Being able to take a jar of that toum home is a game-changer for my own home cooking!

⚡ Exceptional Service and Friendly Staff
Beyond the food, the experience was made even better by the people working there. The staff were really friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Even though they were busy, they were quick to cook the food and took the time to offer great suggestions on which wraps and pairings to try. It’s rare to find a spot that balances high-speed service with such a hospitable and helpful attitude. You can tell they really care about the quality of the food and the satisfaction of their customers.

Filling Portions: You definitely get your money's worth here; one wrap is a full meal in itself.

Speedy Cooking: Despite the high quality, they manage to get orders out very quickly.

Pro Tip: Ask for extra pickles—they add a perfect crunch and acidity to the rich meat and sauces.

Authentic Vibes: The flavors stay true to traditional Jordanian-style street food, which is hard to find done this well.

👍 Overall Recommendation
Shawarmaji is a definitive 5-star destination for any food lover. The combination of superior flavor, friendly service, and the ability to buy their amazing sauces makes it a standout. It is the kind of place that you’ll want to visit again and again. If you haven't been yet, make it a priority—you might just end up ordering a second round like I did!“

“The food here is phenomenal...! By far the best Indian place I have ever been.“

“Very nice place for parties and delicious food“

“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 !“
