Halal Restaurants near Niles, IL

“Love this place. I've been here a few times. The hot chicken sandwich, nachos, and fries are always great. This most recent visit I tried a double smashburger with smash peppers, spicy chopped cheese, and onion rings. The burger was probably the best smashburger I ever had, the beef and bun tasted really fresh, burger patties were crispy and seasoned, and the sauce went really well with it. The chopped cheese was really good, and onion rings were crispy, hot, and seasoned. Highly recommend this place. Everything I've had there is good.“

“Absolutely one of the best middle eastern restaurants in Chicago. The mezas dish, exceptional. The lamb stew on egg plant, among. The specialty drinks, creative. The desserts, light custard, delicious. The service, friendly, helpful, interesting, delightful. Value, worthwhile. Go out to Turqoise for the meal and experience.“

“I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a delicious dinner — they also have amazing business lunches. It’s a very cozy and atmospheric spot — definitely recommend! And a big thank you to our server, Elnura — the service was absolutely perfect!“

“Well this is my 2nd time trying Somali cuisine. I went to a different restaurant for Somali a long time ago and I found their food confusing. I would assume they right next to Ethiopia they would eat someone of the same cuisine despite being predominantly Muslim but it's somewhat the same? It's particular restaurant feels more of a hole in the wall for East African Somali. It was like that with the other restaurant I went to long ago. Most people would consider this dirty ambience for it being a hole in the wall. But I decided to give this one up north a try. The menu had very limited selection I ordered one dish which is served with pasta which I thought was weird. I don't know if it's bad authentic? Other than that I'm just waiting for them to cook and I had a pomegranate drink that's halal. Do Note it looks like they don't have air conditioning. So I can't imagine coming here in the summertime to eat with just a fan well. I just learned Mussolini also invaded Somalia also which is why they had assimilated to some dishes especially pasta. The food was actually pretty decent especially using angel hair pasta I was surprised that they had spices to it. Which made it spicy hot. The owner gave a complimentary tea served hot which was good sweet. It has a spicy aftertaste to fight the sweetness. I would have to come here again for the breakfast time to try their version of Somalia injera since they only eat it for breakfast unlike Ethiopia they eat inejera every day when I was there. The only the owner said that Somalian injera taste different. I wonder if they use the same ingredients such as tef grain? Despite their limited dishes do give it a try especially the pasta surprisingly I will come back for goat dish or breakfast Somalian injera“

“We stopped here on a whim while we waited for a tire repair at the local Firestone. Super friendly staff. Lots of customers coming in to place orders. My husband daughter ordered fries chicken and chicken tenders with fries and they did warn us it would take twenty mins because they cook them fresh to order. They were the crispiest, tastiest, flakiest pieces of chicken. The fries were awesome too. I had a single chicken taco and it was fresh, flavorful and delicious! We also ordered some bubble tea blended drinks that were good. I'm glad we stopped here.“

“Great selection and halal!“

“Very delicious tacos, mango lassi, chicken spring rolls!“

“I had an outstanding experience with Day’s Hot Chicken in Chicago. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top notch. We ordered through DoorDash, and when we called the restaurant, they were incredibly generous. Since we loved the food so much, they went above and beyond by adding extra items like mac and cheese and additional fries. It was a thoughtful gesture that truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend Day’s Hot Chicken for anyone craving delicious food and exceptional service.“

“I love this place. Been going here for 2 and a half years now. My favorite go to spot to cheat on my diet. I always get the 8 piece whole wings and fries with a lot of lemon pepper always a 10 out of 10. I did try other things like the shawarma plate and chicken strips (both 5 out of 10) room for improvement. The burgers are 9 out of 10 great combination of flavors, note I tried the warrior burger and bacon cheeseburger. Today I tried the Philly beef cheese steak sandwich and OMG melt in your mouth gooey goodness definitely a 10 out of 10. They accomodated me on my mushroom allergy, so thankful for that. My only regret is that wish I tried it sooner.

The staff at Ali's Broast and Burgers are all super friendly and fast. And the smells are free!!!! It smells and tastes like they change their grease often and the place is always clean. Ali's Broast and Burgers is a million times better than tasty sub on Damen which I only went to once and could tell they don't change their grease. Never again tasty sub. I walked 2 blocks or so further to Ridge blvd and Ali's broast was a game changer from day one. Going to try their fish next. Will update. But overall 10 out of 10 definitely recommend again and again.“

“Absolutely phenomenal south Indian food. We came in to dine in but had to get it to-go due to an emergency. The staff was super accommodating and the Veg Thali (sampler platter) was absolutely divine. My friends got the Mutton Thali and Chicken Thali and said it is some of the best food they've had in Chicago. Spice level is definitely on the hotter side of restaurants I've been to but that made for a great meal. Incredibly affordable too. At ~$15 per person and plenty of tasty leftovers that keep well, I'll definitely be making a point to return soon.“

“I usually LOVE this place. But the food has been very inconsistent lately at the Troy, MI location. I get the same thing every week. And every week it’s a little different. I get the mixed platter. Last week there was no sauce, and I always order extra on the side, but the little cup was only half full. So, no sauce on the platter, and barely any on the side. This week there were more onions than gyro/chicken. Barely any meat; very meager portion. And still, side of sauce only half full. Super disappointed. I’ll give them one more chance, then I’ll have to stop giving them my business.“

“Mandi k rice ka level alag hi hai. 😋

But they need to work on these
I would ask them to garnish mandi with fresh fried onion instead of ready-made fried onion.
Rotisserie chicken is not well cooked, only the upper layer is crispy and rest inside is taste less and chicken is chewy/tough.
Lamb shank they serve is tasty but its not not easy to cut (tendered)

In picture its a MANDI platter.“

“A must try spot! Great food, coffee and atmosphere! Definitely recommend!“

“Great no fuss late night spot where Uzbeks and Kryrgs and others can come and have tea and chat and enjoy a familiar meal. Various products for sale or to take home. You won't get many words from them. Service is a bit slow but the Food is amazing. Restaurant space is chill and accommodating, plenty of room to sit. Food comes out piping hot. Hours are loose. Show up and see whether they're open. Sometimes they'll hang out past 12 and let people sit in and relax and enjoy their meal. Great spot, glad I found it. Instant favorite.“

“Their Kabuli Pulau is so good! The most tender and flavorful lamb leg in the chicago area. And their rice! Moist and perfectly seasoned.
Better than Kabobi, better than Kabul.
Service is good and they are attentive.
Atmosphere is calm, nice vibes to enjoy their cardamom tea after your meal.

Lamb kabob, beef shami, and chicken shami also delicious.“

“Best place along with best food.“

“Some of the most delicious indian food I have ever eaten. The paneer literally melts in your mouth- perfect texture and moisture. I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, Garlic Naan and Plain Rice and honestly everything was incredible. 5 Stars for quality of food. Atmosphere is not that of an overly fancy restaurant, if thats what you're looking for. It was a quiet week day and service was good.“

“Amazing biryani . Our server Rafee was awesome“

“These were the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had.

EDIT: I have returned to the unforgettable chicken tenders and tried them with a Nashville flavor rub this time. It’s even better. I feel so lucky to live close by 🤗“

“Always delicious! Always accommodating…over the past five years I’ve experienced feeding from 3-30, and never disappointed! The service is always great! They take huge pride in their food and work. We just had a party for 30, and I should have just put out a banner so people would stop asking me where the food was from 💖. All were very impressed!“

“Great place for grilled chicken . The side dishes are also good. Friendly staff always on point;)“

“Love the food and there open late!!“

“I had an awesome experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to Dominick! From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, welcoming, and clearly cared about making sure every customer had a great visit. He helped me pick the perfect spice level and made sure my order came out just right. The food was amazing as always, but Dominick’s positive attitude and great customer service really stood out.“

“Mutton Biryani and Haleem are theee best foods i had here. No Air conditioner or ambience at all. I suggest a ToGo.“

“The food and service were wonderful!! Whoever was in charge of the music played a very very listenable selection of the blues. Perfect for the occasion and for enjoying an evening with family Thanksgiving for all of that....👍👍👍👍“

“Our family is obsessed with this place. We were in town for only a couple days and we tried this place on one day and we all insisted we return before we left town. Better than Pita Inn!! The food is so fresh, the salads have crunchy lovely vegetables, and the ingredients are all high quality. We are in love!“

“Ya Hala truly lives up to its name — a warm welcome from start to finish. The moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly grilled meats and spices wraps around you like a hug from home. The staff is attentive without hovering, and every dish feels prepared with real care. The hummus is creamy and rich, the shawarma tender and bursting with flavor, and the falafel has that perfect crispy shell with a soft, savory center.

What makes Ya Hala stand out, though, is its atmosphere — relaxed yet vibrant, perfect for both family dinners and casual nights out. Portions are generous, prices fair, and you leave both full and genuinely satisfied. Ya Hala isn’t just another Mediterranean restaurant; it’s a true gem that makes you want to come back again and again.“

“The best food and good service give them 5 stars ⭐️“

“Food is mouth watering delicious. My daughter and I had the veggie tostini, oh my goodness, the best Turkish sandwich we have ever had. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. We will be back for sure 😊😊“

“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“Everything is delicious! Everyone is courteous and it's very clean and comfortable. Bring the whole family if your craving flavors. Come here often. Chicken is delicious. Chocolate cake out of this world!!!!“

“Best chicken 65 that you could ever taste only in hayderabad, I really want go there every time i remember the taste, amazing friendly staff, parking sometimes little bit hard, but the experience is non comparable, the bread all so tasty and fresh and worm, one of my top restaurants.“

“Zad by Pita Inn in Skokie, Illinois, offers a delightful four-star dive into Mediterranean cuisine with its fresh, flavorful dishes that blend authenticity and affordability, making it a go-to spot for quick yet satisfying meals in a casual setting. The steak shawarma wraps tender, spiced meat in warm pita with creamy hummus and crisp veggies that burst with Middle Eastern zest, while the lamb dishes impress with their juicy tenderness and aromatic spices, all served in generous portions that feel like a steal for the price. The clean, no-frills counter-service atmosphere hums with efficient staff who keep things moving smoothly, though occasional inconsistencies in seasoning or tougher cuts during busy rushes can slightly detract from the experience. Overall, it’s a reliable neighborhood gem for falafel lovers and shawarma enthusiasts alike, with gluten-friendly options adding to its appeal, even if it doesn’t quite reach the pinnacle of gourmet flair.“

“the lamb with spinach, mushrooms and potatoes was so delicious! Vegetable vindaloo was pretty good, but asked if there were green peas and was told no. There were a LOT. the garlic Naan was delightful“

“Love this place! Incredible birria! Try the birria quesadilla and elote!“

“Not the best single slice place in the area, maybe it depends on the time of day because mine were not crispy and had probably been sitting on the warmer for too long. The other food looks good so would maybe go back to try another item but the slices are meh.“

“is a good place for eat healthy.“

“Highly recommended for halal food with the taste of italian pizza & middle east chicken tenders with rice. Scrumptious food“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant! The Iranian food was delicious — the koobideh was juicy and flavorful, and the shawarma was perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Definitely recommend it if you’re craving quality Middle Eastern and Persian dishes!“

“I ordered for first time the All in platter which gives u a little bit of everything.. n I tried the stuffed grape leaves and the chocolate cake.. 😋 the cake is more than enough reason for me to order from them again . the Rumi sauce is also very good.. not too spicy.. has a little kick..“

“I went here to celebrate a birthday and I absolutely loved it. I got the chicken sandwich and my partner got the 8am burger with fries. They give you a mountain of fries. Both sandwiches were big and left me feeling full. The chicken is fried like a fish and I love the breading. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for varieties of burgers and a pretty chill restaurant environment. Parking was easy to find (street parking) and they have some games in the back while you wait for your food which is nice.“

“I have enjoyed my experience at Slim’s. The food was jaw-droppingly delicious. I had one of my favorite Chicago style hotdogs EVER! My uncle completely ADORDED his Chili Dog. The food was five a out of five! The service was as good our food came quickly which showed us that the chefs really cared about their loyal customers. Our server was ok but she was a little monotone. Like, would it kill her to be a little more cheerful? Overall the service was ok. The atmosphere was what I really didn’t like. First of all it smelled like gasoline or something was burning. Plus, the video game was broken. Even though there was a few mishaps here and there it was ok and I would probably go again. Thank you!“

“Had such a great time at Navvat! The food was really tasty and the vibe was so cozy and relaxing. Huge thanks to Shakhnoza for taking such good care of us—she was super kind and made everything feel easy and comfortable. We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“Found this small business while looking for places to eat while visiting Chicago and a instagram reel popped up and the jerk chicken alfredo pizza was highly recommended.
I ordered the personal pizza (jerk chicken alfredo) w/ parmesan wings and a drink.

Pizza: posted picture, I apologize I had the box sideways in the bag by accident, so doesn’t appear picture perfect, but when I tell you the flavors of the alfredo sauce and jerk chicken blended well together with a nice crispy and flaky crust to compliment it. Cannot forget the cheese pull was great as well! 🤤

Wings: So juicy and fall off the bone tender as seen in video. Had a nice crispy breading and the garlic parmesan sauce was definitely homemade, the flavors were just right.

Juice: Grape/strawberry flavor was yummy“

“excelente, todo el menú delicioso 😋 las bebidas. muy buen servicio“

“I like to say “good food makes a soul happy”. When I'm having a tough day, nothing satisfies like good food. I ordered a double smashburger through Uber Eats, and it arrived warm with crispy fries. Everything was packed neatly, which made me excited to dig in. The burger was fantastic!! soft, perfectly seasoned, and the smash sauce was great! Unlike other places that over-salt their burgers, this one was spot on. I’ve found my new go-to spot. The fries were also a good portion. I’ll definitely order from there again, as long as they keep the seasoning consistent bc too much salt can ruin a meal!“
