Halal Restaurants near Union City, CA

“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!“

“X-tra Hot! Not above my tolerance, enough for that lip burning sensation, but does not linger afterwards nor makes breathing difficult, if you know what I mean (that's Holy Chic+ levels). I can feel that heat moving through my belly for a day after! 🔥 (pretty much the same as Dave's though)“

“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“

“I was literally blown away by the flavors!!

We had beef pancakes (little sweet, smooth flavors, so good!!)

Beef and cabbage broth - so much goodness and earthy flavors, truly!

Last but not least, Mongolian chicken was spicy, so tender, and juicy!

Everything tastes really delicious. Definitely plan on coming again next week!

It was so unexpectedly delicious, I forgot to take pictures :))“

“Perfection! I will not go anywhere else for pizza 🍕 bolani kabob and qabuli so good 😊“

“Lovely food! Best bengali food in the area and good and fresh collection of fishes“

“We came here based on recommendation and it did not disappoint us. I had the smash burger and my wife has the zing 1 chicken medium. I think the chicken sandwich is much better and highly recommended. Chicken is soft and tender. The smash burger was great too and the place is very nice with comfortable chair and prayer section.“

“For romantic atmosphere and healthy options“

“Visited this restaurant today at Southland Mall and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely amazing , especially the chapli kabab, which was full of flavor and truly outstanding. On top of that, the owner was extremely polite and kind, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for both great food and great hospitality!“

“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“

“Don't let the parking lot fool you- this place is AWESOME inside!

They have a LARGE selection of ingredients to choose from for your hot pot as well as fruit, cake and freshly made ice cream for dessert. Drinks are included in the buffet price.

Staff are very friendly and helpful and explain things well. This was important for us as we had never been to a hot pot place before so we had no idea what to do😂.

They are open 7 days a week with lunch and dinner buffet. Call for hours and prices. We had lunch on a monday and before tip for 2 of us it was $44.95.

Definetly recommend!“

“Delicious burgers with options to suit all tastes. They have beef, chicken, and veggie patties as well as some without Pakistani spices for picky eaters like my daughter. They also have loaded quesadillas with fries and their signature spicy sauce which are amazing. They also have a good variety of shakes. We’ve had the mango and the Oreo Never Boreo.“

“Went in to drop my ballot and had breakfast. A tuna sandwich with coffee. The owner was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely go back again. Lots of table to sit and a nice place to catch food before or after taking the ACE or Amtrak train ride.“

“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.“

“Everything we've ordered the past few times have been amazing and cooked to perfection. Portions are also generous with lots of sauce, which pairs well with the rice or naan. The monthly specials are hit or miss, we enjoy the main menu items more consistently. Highly recommend this spot!“

“If you think Panda Express is good… this is straight Michelin star compared to it!!! The best halal Chinese food in the Bay Area!!! It’s Panda Express style so you get to pick your plate & what you would like it’s always fresh!!! The portion sizes are really generous also!!!“

“Hand-pulled pan-fried noodles is one of my favorite dishes. I get it at every restaurant that sells it. This restaurant had the best version of that dish I have ever had, by a considerable margin. I have never written a google restaurant review before, but the food was so good that it motivated me to write one.

It was like every ingredient was the best version of that ingredient and all the ingredients were all put together into one symphony of flavor. I was reminded of the first time I heard the Beatles.“

“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 best Authentic Mediterranean Food in Bay Area Clean ,friendly , resonable prices !“

“Best burger In town! Recommend.“

“Nihari and naan of that restaurant is super great!“

“We are from Connecticut, and during a recent trip to the Bay Area, we had the extreme good fortune to try the Afghan Awasana Kabob House. Oh my ... what an experience! The food was superb … an epicurean delight, but also plentiful, and very reasonably priced. The qabuli palow - a lamb shank dish was a standout, and the squash bolani - a stuffed flatbread was out of this world. The owner was very friendly during dinner, only to be surpassed by what happened after our dinner. Upon leaving, our car would not start. The owner offered to jump start our car. When that did not work, he offered us a ride back to the house where we were staying ... which we gratefully accepted. On the way, while we were thanking him profusely, he indicated that this was not an imposition as he routinely gave rides to his workers. I was moved to tears with his generosity. The Afghan Awasana Kabob House stimulated my palate, satiated my appetite, and above all, nourished my soul with renewed faith in the kindness of humanity. A truly memorable evening that will not soon be forgotten.“

“I just stopped by for a quick meal, had the lamb kebabs plate. The kebabs were very tasty, nicely cooked and everything else on the plate was extremely fresh and flavorful. The place is very clean, the service was very friendly also. Will come back again for sure.“

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

“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to Raquel! From the moment I walked in, she was welcoming, friendly, and super patient while I decided what to order. She explained the spice levels clearly and made sure I picked something I’d love.

The food was fresh and delicious, but what really stood out was Raquel’s positive attitude and great customer service. She checked in to make sure everything was good and made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming.

Employees like Raquel are the reason I’ll definitely be coming back. Dave’s Hot Chicken is lucky to have her!“

“The ultimate deli the r best. Sandwiches yummm 5 stars for this place ..I will be back again“

“I had chicken and lamb biryani and both were really good! Friendly staff too! Definitely worth it!“

“Awsm n tasty food………….. :)“

“I am writing this review with great happiness because the service I received was beyond my expectations. I have known about this restaurant for a long time, but yesterday was my first time visiting, and I had a wonderful experience.

The food was very good, and the taste was excellent. We asked them to prepare the meat in a specific way, and they made it exactly as we requested. Their service was outstanding, especially Mr. Joe. He was very kind, respectful, and professional. He listened carefully to our instructions and made sure everything was served just the way we wanted.

I truly appreciate the great service and hospitality. Overall, the restaurant, the staff, and the food were all excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to others.“

“Really solid food. Great flavors, we had the Tikka Masala and the Pakistani beef dish. The naan was generous, we only wish the meat dishes had just a bit more meat to feel generous. That’s a good thing that we wanted more. Definitely a solid place.“

“Vegetarian options: They do have some veg options

Dietary restrictions: Amazing place

Parking: Good parking space

Kid-friendliness: great colorful place

Wheelchair accessibility: They do have wheel chair accessability“

“We broke our fast for Ramadan at Kabul today. We found it while we were shopping at the outlets nearby and noticed it had great reviews. The food photos looked amazing, so we decided to give it a try and I’m so glad we did.

We ordered the Triple Chicken Kabob Plate and a Kabob Plate to share, and oh my God… that was probably the best kabob I’ve ever had. The seasoning on the chapli kabob, tikka kabob, and shami kabob was incredible, so flavorful and perfectly cooked.

The portions are very generous for the price. I was completely full and even had leftovers, but honestly, I still wanted to keep eating! The rice was well seasoned and delicious. I was hoping it would include the traditional carrots and raisins, but it was still excellent. The salad was fresh cut lettuce with a yogurt mint dressing, similar to tzatziki (just without the cucumber) and it paired really well with everything.

I also loved that they give complimentary bread with a green sauce and a spicy red sauce. Both sauces were so good and added even more flavor to the meal.

The service was wonderful. The young woman with blondish hair who helped us was so kind, sweet, and welcoming. It felt like a warm, family-owned restaurant, and I really appreciated that it’s halal.

I’ll definitely be bringing my family here. I honestly have no complaints. I can’t wait to come back!!

Also, the boba place next door is so good!“

“Nice and clean environment. Delicious food.“

“The food was really good, full of flavor and definitely one of the better meals we’ve had in a while. It’s great to finally find a place where the taste stands out. The only downside was the long waiting lines, and the staff seemed quite overwhelmed. Service could be smoother, but the food makes it worth trying.“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“I can eat at this place every day“

“Great fast food and very quick service. I would recommend for a quick easy bite to eat. Love it specially Pleasanton location“

“Food is by far superb! A must try and check out the place. Food is C delicious you will love it and waiters are extra friendly“

“We finally checked out The Kebab Shop, and it was a total hit!
The biggest surprise was how much the kids loved the food. They inhaled their meals and were actually asking for more by the end. Note to self: next time, we’re skipping the kids' menu and ordering full adult plates for them—they clearly can't get enough of those flavors!
Everything felt high-quality, especially the salad, which was incredibly crisp and fresh. It’s the kind of spot where you feel good about what you’re eating. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff quick service and groovy music“

“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“

“This is an amazing restaurant! Their food is great. We’ve catered big orders from them twice, and they’ve never let us down—their prices are fair, and they’re always on time. They have a wide variety of halal options, and their staff is personable and friendly. 10/10 recommend.“

“Went to this spot on Sunday and ordered three King Kong-size pizzas — Chipotle, Mexican, and Mixed — and let me tell you, they were incredible! Each pizza was massive, easily feeding 10+ hungry people (and probably more). The flavors were phenomenal — perfectly balanced, fresh, and full of flavor.

The owner was also one of the kindest people we’ve met. He went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, and when he found out we were visiting from out of town, he even surprised us with extra food!

If you haven’t tried this place yet, you absolutely should. Everything is 100% halal and HFSAA-certified, the place is clean, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended!“

“Awesome, had the falafel gyro. It was very delicious. Crispy on the outside tasty and moist on the inside. If your looking for a meat substitute than the falafel is just the thing.�“

“This place is SO good! I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and it was packed with flavor—absolutely delicious. Honestly, I don’t know why it’s always empty when I pass by, because the food is seriously amazing. Do yourself a favor and give this place a shot!!“

“Dosa spot with delicious dosa and other Indian items too. 4.5 stars

Food: 4.5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 4
Cost to worth it rating: 3
Opentableable: no but on their website but may not be needed
Return worthiness: yes
Eve award: best dosa I've had

Highlights:
- Dosa: loved the crispy chewy exterior and almost even more the mashed like potato inside was so delicate with mellow flavors. 5 stars
- Fried cauliflower: covered in super tasty sauce. Barely could tell it was veggie. 4.5 stars
- Biryani: packed full of of flavor and even though we got the milder one with chicken on the bone, had a kick. 4.25 stars
- Shrimp skewers: sizable simple shrimp cooked fine hidden under a lot of veggies including bell peppers, onions, broccoli, and kale. 3.5 stars
- Spinach paneer: mellow flavors and textures. 3.5 stars
- Can order online but also can order from the staff

Midlights:
- Menu online but quite long so harder to navigate with so many items. Would have preferred to peruse a physical menu.
- Casual restaurant but standing table numbers were odd like the ones you get when you order at a counter, but you order at the table.

Location:
- In a very small strip mall on a busy street. Parking has a few spots but many are only 20 minutes which is hard when you're dining in.“
