Halal Restaurants near Skokie, IL

“🔥 Absolutely Loved Taste of Fire!
The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic! Everything was outstanding. We tried the Smash Burger, Zinger Burger, and Mixed Platter, and every bite was on fire! 🔥 The burgers were flavorful, juicy, and packed with taste, and the mixed platter was just as amazing. The service made the whole experience even better.
Definitely a must-visit spot in Chicago if you’re craving delicious food. We’ll absolutely be back! Highly recommend! 🙌“

“The food is so delicious. The people are very kind and so patient. The workers are so happy to help and work fast too. My family always comes here and my sisters and I love the vegan options. The owner is very kind and looks out for everyone with great conversations. They have a lot of delicious drinks. We are looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Great grocery store with a wide variety of products. They have all kinds of groceries you need, and their Zabiha halal meat is always fresh and high quality. The store is clean, well organized, and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for halal options!“

“I had mixed feelings about my visit to Port of Peri Peri. The food was honestly excellent and full of flavor, so I have no complaints about the quality of the meal itself.

However, the customer service really let the experience down. The staff didn't seem friendly or welcoming, and when I asked questions, they either didn't respond properly or didn't seem interested in helping. The dining area also looked like it needed more attention—several tables were greasy and didn't appear to be cleaned promptly, which made eating in feel a bit unhygienic.

If you're planning to try this place, I'd recommend ordering takeout instead of dining in. The food is definitely worth trying, but I think the overall dine-in experience and cleanliness could use significant improvement.This keeps the review balanced by praising the food while clearly describing the issues you experienced.“

“One of the best halal burgers I’ve had! The burger was juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked and crispy, and the portions were generous. Great halal spot with good prices and friendly service. Definitely recommend Byrd’s Hot Chicken if you’re looking for a delicious halal burger!“

“I had really good experience at The Halal Guys! The two ladies working the night shift were super nice and helpful with all my questions and this was my first time here. They both had great customer service with me and my family and made sure everything was done right. The food was fresh and delicious and they made the whole experience even better!! Shoutout to palina aileen for being so welcoming and doing a great job I will definitely be coming back for that delicious white sauce!“

“Great food and very nice service. The bread was probably the best we've had at a restaurant. The only issue was a small one: my wife ordered a meal that included potatoes, but what she received was literally one French fry. Other than that, everything was excellent, and we really enjoyed our experience.“

“Euroasia is one of the best restaurants in Illinois! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and honest. The quality of the food is excellent, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The service and hospitality made the experience even better.

Highly recommended! 🙌🍽️“

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

“My wife and I went there for the date night special and it was fantastic. We aren’t really big Indian food fans, but we definitely liked what we tried and would definitely go back again.“

“I prefer Halaleez in the Loop. The chopped cheese exceeded expectations after I toasted and doctored it at home. The lamb rice plate was missing the green sauce and the multitude of toppings didn't really stand out. Quality rice though.“

“Food was outstanding as was the service! We definitely recommend it!“

“Came there on a Sunday after swim class and ordered a slider with fries. Awesome! Wonderfully prepared! The cashier Jeniah was incredible on helping me choose my order. And the supervisor Sam was great! Thank you for the wonderful customer service“

“Очень вкусная Среднеазияткая кухня. плов, лагман и самса“

“Great selection and halal!“

“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 😊😊“

“Just called to put an order to go , and this guy who anwered , lacks any customer skill at all and shouldn’t be working in hospitality . Maybe they aren’t so accustomed with talking with customers who aren’t from their own country. Do yourself a favor and pass this place . That guy should be ashamed of his behavior.“

“One of the best restaurants in Chicago! The lunch special is my favorite - the most flavorful kabobs and rice (I upgrade to the Kabuli style rice). I also love the Kabuli Palaw (lamb shank). Service is always efficient and friendly. Afghan Kabob is worth a visit even if you're not in the area!“

“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!“

“Tried the Omani Mutton Mandi here, which was recommended by Rahman bhai, and it was such a great choice! We’re visiting from Dallas, and Rahman bhai was so kind and made sure we tried one of the best items on the menu. His service was exceptional, and he went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. The Mandi was delicious, and the hospitality made it even better. Definitely worth trying!“

“Alex was a gem! My grandson had been wanting to try this place and we stopped by on his 11th Birthday at the Melrose Park IL location. Alex made a quick stop a kind and memorable experience for my little one. Location is clean and welcoming, service was the best I have had in a very long time. Give that man a raise!“

“Delicious Somali restaurant in Chicago suburbs. My first visit to a Somali restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. Food was pretty good. Loved the Goat with rice and vegetables. Their tea was good too. Didn't care much for the orange juice made from concentrate. Lady at the counter does all the billing and orders. She spoke decent english. Had to wait to use the bathroom, which was not gender segregated. Interior is very basic, but food makes up for it.“

“Amazing service, food, and experience. Can't wait to share this with my boys next time.“

“love this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“Halal Guys is my go-to spot for lunch! Food’s tasty, fries are top-notch, and great portion sizes for the price (regular platter is typically two meals’ worth).
Shout out to Baba and Ms Moore for always bringing good energy and even better service to the shop!“

“I'm a local, plain old Americana fellow. Decided to try some new food to change things up, Bab Alsalam was the place and I felt no need to try another due to the warm and welcoming service, and on point food. Eventually tried a couple other shawarma places and they were solid, but this place is the place to go“

“First time trying this establishment and the food was delicious. You can tell it was fresh and it was all tasty. We enjoyed their signature burger, Reuben, and hot panini. The refreshers and mocktails are soo good as well! Can’t go wrong!“

“i did not like the chicken sandwich. I were there with my family . It is very expensive and special pizza was not the tasty .“

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

“I got the Hot Chick at a Medium spice level and it was so good, crispy and juicy. Had the longest cheese pull I've ever experienced with a mozzarella stick. My boyfriend got the Smash Cheeseburger and that was also super super tasty, he got it with the smash peppers. The staff was so friendly and helpful as well. Definitely coming back soon.“

“Great place for Eastern European and Central Asian food. You must try the hearing salad and the honey cake. The service is wonderful. The place is slightly rundown, but the food is delicious. I came here for Ukrainian Borsch and Plov. Recommend everything.“

“WOW! This is my new favorite place. The food is absolutely phenomenal and it is so fairly priced. I was blown away by the portions and the incredible flavor. I got the 4pc. catfish meal and a banana pudding and I was so impressed. The person working was also incredibly kind and had a lovely personality. I will definitely be back.“

“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“

“Destiny may be the greatest customer service representative that Dave’s hot chicken has. Incredible job destiny. I hope I’m spelling your name right. She went above and beyond and before I came in she picked up the phone when I was calling to assure they’re open and she was extremely positive and nice. I am only going here being of how nice she was and she did and incredible job.“

“Food is always amazing. The owner Yusuf and the staff always give free appetizers and always hook it up. They always like to experiment with new sides and make sure to give us some to try for free to make us feel comfortable while we are waiting. They are one of the most underrated halal restaurant!! Overall they are a 10/10 must try!“

“Food is delicious and personal so nice“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved my experience at NYC Halal Eats in Niles! The overall was incredible—packed with flavor, loaded with filling, and honestly one of the most satisfying sandwiches I’ve had in a while. The portions are generous, so you definitely leave feeling full and like you got your money’s worth.

The service was also great—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The food came out fresh and hot, and the overall experience was excellent. If you’re looking for delicious halal food with generous portions and great service, definitely give NYC Halal Eats a try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! It was so hard to choose what to get with such a big variety to choose from that all looked and sounded amazing!! We definitely had the wings that were soooo sooo delicious and some other stuff that also was amazing! Took about 40 minutes to get there but so worth the trip and will be a regular spot to visit! Can’t wait to come back!!!“

“I understand that it is small. it reminds me of Harold’s Chicken but it has burgers! Service went well and the food! It’s a good place for lunch when you are living in the Loyola University area!“

“💯 it’s the best place I recommended“

“Took my date here from dinner as she recommended, and was pleased as punch that it was as good as she advertised! Service was lightning quick, atmosphere was very relaxing and welcoming, and the food was divine. It was my first time having Indian cuisine, and it did not disappoint one bit! I had the Butter Chicken and my date had the Cheese Dosa. Both came out hot and appetizing, and the Butter Chicken tasted amazing. 10/10, would absolutely eat here almost every day if I could.
Edit on 08/15/2026: Went back her for dinner again and it was still a banger. Get the Mushroom Cheese Dosa, it's so good.“

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

“Stopped by Hot N' Spicy Chicago on Devon Ave for a late-night bite and was impressed. Grabbed the Chicken Chutney Roll—tender chicken wrapped in a soft paratha with a tangy chutney kick. Also tried the Masala Fries, which were crispy and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, and the place had a cozy vibe. If you're in the area and craving a flavorful halal meal, this spot is worth checking out. Definitely coming back to try more of their menu.“

“Truly an awesome surprise, decided to order on a whim and found the best chicken tenders I've ever had in my life, not exaggerating. Really happy I happen to live close to here. The two owners are very nice and friendly. Do yourself a favor and try Ciao Chow“

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

“Amazing biryani . Our server Rafee was awesome“

“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.“

“I recently visited Faiza Restaurant after the change in ownership, and I was genuinely impressed by the experience. I ordered the plov and honey cake, and both were absolutely exceptional. The plov was flavorful, perfectly prepared, and beautifully balanced, while the honey cake was simply outstanding—delicate, rich, and delicious.

What impressed me even more was having the opportunity to see the kitchen. It was spotlessly clean and well maintained, and the employees preparing the food appeared clean, professional, and attentive to hygiene. That level of cleanliness gave me even more confidence in the quality of the food.“

“Amazing food, very reasonable price. Huge portions and great customer service!! Also free parking and authentic Bangladeshi, indian and Pakistani cuisine absolutely amazing!! Can’t wait to come back here again.“
