Halal Restaurants in Cambridge, MA

“Ordered delivery. The spicy chicken with hand pulled noodles. Omg that was tasty! Also the beef samosa was awesome. Good prices and delicious food!“

“The food alone would earn five stars, but the owners make this place so incredibly special. In all my years of dining out, I have never encountered hospitality so genuine and warm. The pizza is great, but the Mediterranean food is where they shine. When the owner discovered I was vegetarian, he personally invited me back the next day for the best falafel sandwich I have ever tasted (on the house!). Genuinely one of the kindest and most sincere dining experiences I have ever had! Could not more highly recommend!“

“The food here is top notch! And our waiter, Mo, was the best! We live in Palm Springs and we’re here with local friends. When we return to California we’ll be seeking out an Afghan restaurant there as the flavors are SO good! Thanks again, Mo, and the entire staff!“

“I had just missed my flight back home and after 5 hours at the airport things began to look rather grim. I then decided to take a walk and by complete luck happened to use this location as a pickup spot for my Uber. What started as me wanting a small snack then turned into a newfound appreciation for Somali cuisine and an eating experience I will have yet to forget. Tawakal Halal gave me the best food and service in about 14 minutes than other establishments have managed to give me in an hour, so great in fact, that I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I didn’t go a second time before I left. The food by itself is beyond amazing and I could write a whole review entirely on how great the food is, however, my personal favorites were the Goat Biryani and the Halwa as an excellent dessert option after. In addition to the food, the service here was amazing as well. The staff were always making sure I had everything I needed and doing everything they could to make my experience there a pleasant one, even offering me tea as I waited for my Uber. All in all, the best way I could describe this café to anyone wanting to know more about it is that it is truly everything you could ever ask for in a dining experience: fantastic food and amazing service. It even no longer made me upset that I missed my flight that day for if I hadn’t, I would have never been able to find this gem of a café. Thank you, Tawakal Halal, so much for giving me an experience I will never forget and know that when I return to Boston, you can bet the first stop on my itinerary will be your café.

“The best Mediterranean food in Cambridge, I recommended this place, good food, good prices, and very nice customer service. Thank you ???“

“My new favorite eating spot when I’m in Cambridge waiting on the commuter train 🚂“

“wah ji wah , desi feel was awaken , best food bhaji , guys come here and taste real indian food“

“We ordered through uber eats. The food was extremely good and quantity sufficient. Since we stayed in a hotel, we asked for plates and cutlery (there is an option to request for them). But there were no cutlery. Please remove the option to ask for cutlery if they cannot be provided by you.“

“I read some of the negative reviews here and do not agree with them. I found the owner to be very kind, and it is clear that he works extremely hard. The food was quite good compared to similar places I have visited. The chicken and lamb shawarma were much juicier than expected. Overall, I would definitely come back again. I just hate driving into Harvard Sq.“
