Halal Restaurants near Burtonsville, MD

“My husband and I are from out of town. once we tried Maiwand Grill, we make sure to stop by almost everytime we cone to Baltimore. Everything we have had from here is top quality and delicious.“

“Outstanding , 5 star, best fried chicken !Not oily or greasy, just Great taste and local place, try it out!“

“Update Dec 2024: 2/5. This location has gone very downhill since new management. The gentleman at the cash register has an extreme attitude and will literally throw things at your bag when you ask for them.. It's almost like ordering is an inconvenience and they don't want your business. Sad to say but this location isn't what it was before.

Original review:
Went to Naz's Halal today for their grand opening. Free lunch from 12-2 and the line was ridiculously long! The staff got off to a rough start, especially with enforcing social distancing but they pulled it off-- hot fresh food that beats Halal Guys!

Update 8/28:
Naz's halal has been open for over a week now and they've got really steady business.Walk in, place your order, and you'll have a fresh hot platter of meat, rice, and salad in less than 5 minutes. I've tried the chicken and lamb -- both are decent. The chicken is super flavorful, especially compared to the likes of Halal Guys. However, I almost always have a couple pieces of cartilage in my chicken, enough to ruin the meal for me. The rice is good, but wish it had more aromatic flavors as any good rice base should. The lettuce is usually crisp and fresh. The sauces that go with the platters are great too. The green sauce packs in the flavor, the red sauce is hot but not overbearing, and the white sauce is surprisingly light (unlike Halal Guys' heavy, calorie-packed version).

COVID-19: The restaurant does an abysmal job with COVID precautions. On opening day MoCo investigators were writing up warnings due to the lack of social distancing enforcement and the fact that the restaurant owner's family was walking in and out of the restaurant without masks. A week later and the restaurant has 6ft distancing stickers on the ground but they don't enforce it and tables are not 6ft apart. Some employees in the kitchen can be seen not properly wearing masks or gloves.

The value proposition is there, with platters running around 8 bucks. Naz's Halal is a great alternative to Halal Guys but the restaurant has some work to do before it's my go-to.“

“Food is amazing we ended up eating so much and ordered more for carry out.. Apollo fish, chetinadu chicken, goat biryani, chilli garlic fish I just cannot stop..“

“the place halal restaurant has excellent services and delicious food, great and fantastic quality I recommend everyone to check it“

“Ate this stuff religiously when I went to school in Pittsburgh and it was one of the biggest things I missed once I moved back to Maryland, only to find out that they had built a location here. Definitely as good as their Pittsburgh location, and a great Halal spot.“

“Me and my friend both went there yesterday and I already knew that the food was going to be fire, because you can never go wrong with a local mom and pop type of restaurant. But even then, the food was better than I expected. The owners were very nice and you could tell that they are passionate about what they do and they don’t skip steps. Definitely recommend going here for the food and good vibes.“

“Definitely get all the sauces if you can stand a little heat.

Kid-friendliness: My younger kid…. Not so adventurous so thank goodness for the cheese burger selection.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs- accessible from sidewalk“

“I went here with my friend and he gave me a free Pepsi! Really nice and friendly atmosphere from the other people waiting there too. The food was awesome, the fries were crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. Definitely worth trying. My friend got the cheeseteak sub with the fries which I also ate 😍“

“I picked this place off of Google for a quick lunch alone and it was awesome. I got the salmon kebab. The bread and chickpeas starter is expertly done. The salmon kebab was good and the salad was big and good quality. It’s fast food speed food, but better and healthier.“

“Good food, Good staff will go back again soon“

“I LOVE their wings. Way better than Wingstop in my opinion“

“best place in laurel area. delicious food“

“They have very delicious Halal food for Muslims, the taste is very good, the quantity is great and the price is awesome! If you go to another restaurant for Halal food you will pay more than Naz’s at least $5 more!
Also they have a very wonderful chocolate with pistachio, it’s so delicious ??
I tried a chicken plate, wings and the pistachio chocolate and really I will go again and again. The staff were so friendly always smiling and so helpful.
A halal restaurant. They have rice, salad, and meat or chicken dishes. The price is very good and the quantity is very filling.
Any restaurant that serves halal food has higher prices than this. I tried the chicken wings, they were very sweet, and also the chocolate with pistachio was more than amazing.“

“Even though it is a hike for us from Virginia to MD, we can't help but make the trip at least once a month. Halal food aside, it is simply one of the best Chinese food places around.

Vegetarian options: There are many. They are super flexible in a la carte style preparation if you just tell what you want

Parking: Plenty available any time i visit“

“Fantastic food and great prices! The restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly! My only wish is the veggie burger could have been homemade patty instead of the "Beyond Meat" patty they use. Solid 4.5 star!“

“Excellent food. Loved the options that were given and many choices to pick from. 10/10“

“Great spot for lunch or dinner! Been coming here for years and it’s always 5/5! Everything on the menu is amazing, well seasoned, and flavorful. Dining in is also great; the restaurant is always sparkling clean. The staff are friendly, wonderful, and remember their regulars 😊 I’ve been to a few other Maiwand Kabob locations and every one that I’ve visited is always at least a 4/5, but the Maple Lawn location is definitely my favorite. I’m always recommending this location to everyone I know!“

“Granted I haven't been to their restaurant locations, their pop-up location that features their food truck in Forestville Plaza is where my mom was blessed to bring some of their food home for the family to try. Quick story, one weekend I was driving by with her in my vehicle and suddenly we smelled a delicious aroma as well as saw smoke coming from the grill. She noted the place in her mind this weekend she was able to venture there. She relayed that they had a good amount of customers ordering food but the personnel was so patient, kind, and helpful. She brought home some grilled chicken, lamb, jollof rice, macaroni and cheese, and green beans. Majority of the meat and jollof rice was in one container, but altogether enough to feed a family of three people with huge appetites. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was their grilled chicken! It paired nicely with their mustard sauces, especially the hot mustard sauce! They also have The most unique and delicious joloff rice I've ever tasted in my life! The taste of Senegal cannot be compared! I've tried other West African food, but Senegalese food stands out like no other! Originally, Ivorian food was my favorite, but now I can add Senegalese food to my new list of favorite West African food! You have to try it - you won't regret it! I look forward to going to one of their restaurant locations!“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Upper crust is a go to place for takeout orders. Their pizzas are tasty and there’s a good selection of types of pizza size of pizza and crust. The service is friendly. We’ve been going to this place for years and have never been disappointed. Check it out.“

“After traveling from Texas and being tired and hungry we found this place on Google. The overall experience was absolutely amazing. The owner was wonderful and very helpful, he went out of his way to help us with the menu.

Our food was so full of flavor and authentic. Our taste buds were dancing with joy. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy our food with high expectations and not be disappointed. With young kids who can be picky, they loved their food and asked to good back again.

The food was packaged wonderfully once we return to our hotel the food and everything was in place and fresh. This is a virtual kitchen so there is no seating area but your food is prepared for take away and it was not all over the place. They really take their time to make sure your food is prepared and package well for your enjoyment.

What we had :
Garlic Naan, Combo Over Rice
Strawberry Lemonade Green Tea
Passionfruit Green Tea
Quesadilla with Chicken
Regular Rice
Salsa Roja
Mango Green Tea
Sour Cream (on the side)
Kabob Roll

Everything was absolutely amazing, you will not go wrong with this place.

Kid-friendliness: Our kids were very hungry and tired after a long travel day and the owner gave them a some chicken over rice while we waited for our food. He really extended kindness to them and we greatly appreciate it.“

“Amazing Food!! and Great Service!!“

“Amazing place for some authentic Halal Chinese cuisine! We tried Hakka lomein spicy, shrimp fried rice and both were delicious! The service was amazing and owners r very friendly and accommodating.

First time we went there for lunch dine in, the owner gave us free desi chai on the house and second time, the owner gave us drinks on the house.

We're hooked to this place and my wifey and I plan to eat here at least once I week!“

“Unique, tasty, affordable, convenient cuisine!“

“Great environment, close to home, good price and above all...food was delish.“

“My husband and myself stopped in last night, 6/6/2024 after stopping at the dispensary because the smell coming from crimson coward smelt absolutely amazing and delicious. We both got the crimson sandwich and I got the mac and cheese as well and omg it was all absolutely mouthwatering and delicious! We got our daughter a kids meal to bring home to her since she was at her friends and she even loved it, even the crimson sauce which we didn't think she'd like. We will definitely be back! Told my husband next time I'm getting the burrito and im gonna add the mac and cheese to it and roll it back up to eat cause I guarantee it would be beyond amazing!“

“Food is OK but not great.“
