Halal Restaurants near Watertown, MA

“Amazing food! Best Persian food in MA! Clean! Friendly staff. Reasonable pricing.“

“I’ve been to Mada several times, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. Their halal tacos are absolutely delicious, especially with the homemade sauces and fresh toppings. The meat is tender, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly every time. The staff is friendly, and the service is fast. If you’re looking for authentic, tasty halal food, I highly recommend Mada. I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Thank you so much to tylar for the help today what a kind person.. the staff here is so nice and happy. It's so rare to find people who enjoy what there doing!!!! 10 star visit. He recommended the new trio meal and omg it was amazing. I love the cheesey sticks I hope they are here to stay“

“It’s a small cozy café with around 5 to 6 tables inside probably can fit around 20 people at Max, but it had one of the best kunefe I’ve had in recent times! I’m so interested in trying the lamachun next time and a bunch of other Turkish dishes. I’ll definitely be back.! I also felt the pricing was relatively more affordable than a lot of other Mediterranean places.“

“I’ve been eating here for a long time and generally enjoy the food. The chicken is flavorful, and it’s one of my favorite peri-peri spots. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. The rice and chicken portions are often quite small, and the rice is not always fresh. At the same time, the salad portions tend to be very large compared to the rice. A better balance between the sides and more consistent freshness would make the overall experience even better.“

“We had such a wonderful dining experience, largely thanks to Milli! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. She took the time to walk us through the menu, gave great recommendations based on what we were in the mood for, and checked in just the right amount - never too much, never too little. Even when the restaurant got busy, Milli stayed calm, kept a smile on her face, and made sure our drinks were always topped up and our food came out perfectly timed. She clearly cares about giving guests a great experience, and it showed in every interaction. Service like this is what turns a good meal into a memorable one. If you're dining here, ask for Milli - she'll take great care of you. Will definitely be back!“

“I expected more than corned beef out of a can from the description on the menu. The home fries were cold. Good sized portions and the service was adequate. We chose another breakfast place for the next day. Great location, though, in a walkable neighborhood .“

“Great Somali food“

“Amazing food and excellent customer service! Mher was so kind, patient, and helpful with all my questions since it was my first time trying Persian food. She made the experience even better and helped me feel comfortable exploring the menu. Highly recommend!“

“This is the best experience I've had at a restaurant in a while. It's snowing like crazy and it's freezing outside where I've been working all morning my brother surprised me and had me meet him here for my birthday and I've never been here before. First Juan Carlo was very hospitable and gracious with his greeting and said it your cold and not getting food you can just warm up but we were going to dine so we ordered and Juan Carlo made feel special and great on my birthday they made this a birthday to remember I would tell anyone I know and I will that this location is one of a kind and you should definitely come for the experience and the food is amazing as well!! Thanks so much Juan Carlo and Sterling I will be coming back just for you guys. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would give 10 stars but the review only allows 5!! So I'll do it here!! 🙏😄🙏“

“Hands down best hot chicken I have ever had.
Rarely I say any place is worth visiting, but this one is.
Caution: if you have high heat tolerance, only go as high as Hot. 🥵 anything hotter is at your own risk.
Definitely worth any detour to get a piece of Dave’s hot chicken“

“Very yummy 😋 I ‘m coming back !!!“

“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 was delicious, the staff was friendly and very helpful with menu items… recommend if in the neighbourhood“

“A huge thanks to Brother Amir for recommending this place! I tried the Beef & Lamb Shawarma, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations.

The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Combined with the fresh vegetables, soft pita, and flavorful sauces, every bite was delicious. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients and prepare everything with care.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu. Thanks again, Brother Amir, for the excellent recommendation—highly recommended!“

“Tried the buffet on the weekend. The cost vs food is amazing! They had a good spread of food, that they would refill quickly. Fresh naan for the table is also really great. The place was clean and comfortable. I would recommend going 15-20 minutes early on weekends cause there could be a short wait. Overall, worth the cost and the trip to kenmore.“

“Very yummy 😋 I ‘m coming back !!!“

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

“The front of the house Drew is so cool guy, introduced to me to try the Dave’s Meal, had some questions and he’s helped me solve it and I’m really happy about the experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken, completely five stars. He deserve a race.“

“They were open on Christmas Day ‐ thank you for that!“

“Nachlo is truly one of the best spots in Boston. The food is absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Every dish tastes homemade and full of character. The owners are amazing and genuinely kind, and the staff is just as warm and welcoming. You can really feel the passion behind this place. The atmosphere is lively, cozy, and just such a great vibe overall. I cannot recommend it enough!“

“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.

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

“We walked in to have shawarma sandwich and found our selfs having everything on the menu because everything looks soooo good, we tried both beef and chicken Shawarma
Also had the hummus & baba and the kebabs. All tasted so good and we felt like visiting
Someone's home by getting the best welcome and service. Thank you Shawarma guys and we will be back again.“

“We are repeat customers of Maaz’s and we wanted to just let the staff know that our gyros and especially french fries were the BEST we have ever gotten by far from you guys. We are so happy with how much seasoning and how crispy the fries are, they are the best batch you guys have ever gotten, keep that supplier whoever it is! The gyros were also huge!!! We couldnt finish them we were so full! Thank you guys so much“

“Excellent! I had been driving by this place for months since it opened. Today I went in. I had a chicken sandwich with the spicy hummous and everything. Food was incredibly fresh, including the warm pita bread. I'll be going there frequently.“

“Delicious authentic food, very friendly staff. Def worth it!“

“We usually order from a different Shawarma place in Somerville, but decided to give Sam's a try. The food was very good, and in good sized portions. They were good about following requests to leave things out of the wraps. Note that they do the style with fries on the side rather than in the wrap. My only complaint is that they list some, but not all, of the ingredients on their site. So if you have things you can't eat, I definitely recommend calling them to double check. My partner can't do creamy sauces, and they listed tahini sauce but not garlic sauce in the lamb/beef shawarma, which ended up being a problem. Not a huge thing, just annoying that they make it look like everything is listed when it isn't.“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“They have an amazing and fresh falafel I've ever had in Boston!“

“This place deserves 4.5 stars. Food is pretty good & fresh. Lamb is really good.

Need better beverage options & falafel is just ok. Well cooked & good texture but needs more seasoning.

It also appears overpriced but the gyro I got was massive.“

“I had an amazing experience with Moroccan food. The flavors are rich, warm, and full of spices that blend perfectly together. Every dish feels like it’s made with care and tradition. The tagine was tender and full of flavor, and the couscous was light and delicious. I also loved the fresh bread and mint tea — it made the whole experience even better. Moroccan food is not just a meal, it’s a cultural experience. I highly recommend everyone to try it at least once!“

“I previously left a review and was mistaken about one of my concerns. I would like to sincerely apologize to this business. I appreciate your response and the time you took to explain everything. Thank you for your respect and understanding.
This is still my favorite place for food, delicious pastries, sweets, and cleanliness. Thank you again for treating your customers with respect.“

“On one of the first days at my company, a colleague took me to the old New York Deli on Temple Street and introduced me to Kadhim. I couldn't understand why he would take the time - it's not like this guy is going to remember me out of all of the people who come through there. My mistake - every time I would see him over the years, at whatever location, Kadhim would come from behind the counter and greet me by name like an old friend. Understand - he was told my name once, over 20 years ago. I don't even go out to lunch very often - sometimes it would be years between visits to one of the Falafel King locations. But every time I enter, it's a big smile and greeting and an expression of appreciation that cannot be faked...go check them out!“

“came here after I was recommended from a friend, and was not disappointed. The food was very fresh and I saw a sign saying that everything was made in house and fresh which is very pleasing. The portions are great and the atmosphere is clean and relaxing. I definitely plan on going back when I’m in the area!“

“Huge portions, reasonable prices, tasty food and excellent service .“

“Love the food. Remind me of my mom's food which is highest level of compliment anyone can provide. Food has always been fresh, I have eaten inside and got it delivered through Uber eats and door dash. Food quality has been consistent. I ordered from this place quite a lot. Keema, Nihari, Naan, Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Achari Gosht, Chicken Curry, Goat Curry, Beef Curry, Biryani, Chapli Kebab, Pakoras. All of these dishes are highly recommended. I wish they actually gave more raita and green chutney, they definitely are stingy on it lol.“

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

“Delicious, authentic food. I grew up in Dubai and the shawarmas remind me of what I had there. I live an hour away and willing to drive all the way there to get their food. Its that good!“

“My family’s favorite pizza! The people there are also always friendly and helpful. My 17 year old said the chicken bacon ranch pizza is the best they have ever had. I love the cheese so much - I know I should also branch out but it really is so good. Also, the salad and their ranch dressing is so good, fresh, and I loved that it had lots of carrot and cucumber slices, and green pepper. Yum!“
