Halal Restaurants near Santa Monica, CA

“The perfect burger and delicious fries. 100% delicate... 👍“

“Samo Pizza absolutely blew me away! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming, the smell of fresh dough in the air, and the service? Next level.

Victor was very, very, VERY helpful — the kind of person who truly cares that you have a great experience. Whether it was helping us decide what to order or checking in with genuine hospitality, he made the visit feel personal.

Now let’s talk about the pizza… hands down some of the best I’ve had. Perfectly cooked, rich flavors, and just the right balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings. You can tell they care about quality. Every bite had that “I need another slice” kind of magic.

On top of all that — the prices were totally fair. Great food at a good price? Can’t beat it.

Highly recommend SAMO Pizza to anyone who loves amazing food and even better service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I had a GREAT experience and was able to get food from some of my favorite restaurants in Houston (Rustic, Dog Haus, Burns and Jailbird) all at the same time in the same location!! Everything was delicious!“

“This is hands down the best Uzbek food you’ll find in all of LA—possibly all of California, maybe even the entire U.S.! Every dish is incredibly flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and clearly made with love. The traditional recipes are superb and deeply satisfying. I highly recommend ordering catering from them for your next event—an amazing experience from start to finish. I truly hope this gem continues to thrive for many years to come. Thank you for sharing your delicious culture with us!“

“Love love this little gem. The food was amazing. The owner was so kind. I felt like I was in someone's home. They way they served our food, and brought it out to us. Felt like aunty was cooking just for us. We love you guys so much. And I will definitely be coming back more regularly. Viva Palestina!!!!“

“So good! We enjoyed all of it. Great vibe. Not too busy on a weeknight. Fun neighborhood to walk around. We each got the platter for one — he with butter chicken, me with Tikka Masala. They also came with daal and a special dish with garbanzo beans, rice, and whatever naan you chose. We also ordered cocktails. Mine was a spicy margarita and his was a Punjabi mango frozen cocktail. Both were very good. We also had chai with dinner and it was delicious. The server was very nice and gave us a gratis dessert of very sweet donuts in sauce.“

“I have been a long time customer of Chutney’s on Pico and Barrington in West La. The food is wonderful and the owner and staff are very pleasant to interact with. Highly recommended when you are in the mood for excellent quality Indian food!“

“We’re very happy to find a halal restaurant near where we’re staying. This was our first time trying Somalian food. The food taste was delicious and interesting and the portion was generous, easily shareable between two persons. Our dish had lots of beef and very flavorful rice.

The restaurant ambience was also interesting, it felt like going back to 1970-1980.“
