Halal Restaurants near College Park, MD

“The owner is phenomenal and super kind and charismatic. He makes the place feel like home and the employees are all sweet and smiles. The food is great and they have added lots of options. The nashville chicken sandwhich is my favorite thing here but if you want something healthy I recommend the chicken over rice. 10/10 reccomend spot to check out especially if you’re hungry late at night!“

“I like their food, but they should make drinks mandatory with orders. Sometimes, for some reason, even if you select a drink, it doesn't appear on the order. And when you ask for it, they don't want to give it to you. And even when they have given it to me, they do it as if it were a courtesy. It's included in the price. If you explicitly say you don't want a drink, that's fine, but it's not always like that. And some employees should be more courteous in these situations.“

“Kabob Joint is hands down the best restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. The food is absolutely amazing, always fresh, and full of flavor. I especially love the chicken kabob roll—it’s perfect every single time. The owner is an incredibly kind and generous person with outstanding hospitality; he even offered me a roll free of cost, which truly meant a lot. The kitchen is spotless, the service is excellent, and everything about this place is just perfect. I honestly love it so much that I could come here every day. Highly recommended!“

“Really cool store that has a lot of Senegalese items around for sale. The food was perfect it was my first time having west African food and I really liked how Smokey and barbequey the food was. I got the large lamb platter and they really packed on the rice and lamb, it was really delicious and the onions were particularly good. The lamb wasn’t gamey at all and had a great taste and chew. The turn around time on the order was quick as well and very friendly staff.“

“Unique, tasty, affordable, convenient cuisine!“

“At first we were a little surprised to be eating in a Days Inn -- and Al-Madani is unassuming atmospherically. However, the food was flavorful and delicious (aloo palak, lamb tikka kabobs, garlic naan), and the staff were wonderfully kind and caring. I feel like this is a hidden gem and hope many more people find them and that they get lots of business!“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience. The pizza was hands down one of the finest I have ever tasted, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The gyro was equally impressive, fresh, juicy, and incredibly satisfying. You can really tell they use quality ingredients in every bite. I am definitely coming back soon with my friends and family.“

“I love coming to this location of New York Grill! Every weekend I get my family dinner and the food is always fresh & good. The workers are very nice and friendly, having a welcoming atmosphere. Also very helpful to order with over the phone when I had a few questions! Highly recommend coming here 😊.“

“Very convenient and tasty, owners are very nice and willing to customize sauces, spiciness etc. I got the combo on rice and they basically gave me 2 meals worth in a nice microwaveable container. Cart is open till pretty late and located right outside the metro.“

“We had the chicken kabob platter, beef platter, shawarma platter and the chicken shawarma. Absolutely amazing food, and most importantly the service was absolutely amazing too! The servers were really great and friendly!

We enjoyed our one hour, and I sincerely think this is a great place to spend a very good time with friends and family.“

“I went to a Friendsgiving Saturday November 15, 2025 and everyone that was invited had to bring catering. And let me tell you, man did I I hit a home run with Shah’s Halal Food! 💯🗣️😋 the food was delicious and it was gone within an hour lol I ordered chicken, lamb, rice and veggies the very same day and the manager was caught off guard when I told him that I needed within a couple of hours lol the manager and his staff very friendly and professional, even gave me extra sauces and gave me a free soda 👍🏽👌🏽 I truly thank these guys and would recommend them to anyone for any catering service, thanks again Shah’s Halal, until next time 🤛🏽👊🏽“

“Lamb chops steak is delicious! The fried potatoes were delicious! Brusselsprouts with fruit jam sweet and appetizing! His family's Pitabread can continue indefinitely“

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the back).“

“Delicious fresh food, beautiful presentation. Wonderful attentive staff, highly recommend. We will definitely return to enjoy an evening with music of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you very much.“

“Good food and good service“

“Some of the best halal I've ever had. I've been coming here for over a decade. The owner is an incredibly kind man, the food is delicious, and the price is unbeatable. Highly recommend. In case it's not obvious, this is a food cart, so there's no seating. That's not a negative, just something to keep in mind if you're coming for the first time.“

“Good portion size. it's a convenient concept if you need to eat with a group of friends with different preferences and restrictions. The place was a bit untidy after a seemingly busy day, but that's the only downside. I appreciate the outdoor seating and a spacious, clean bathroom.“

“It's about time I gave you guys credit! I love coming here for a late lunch after class. Delicious food, great value, always fresh, and the portions are generous. It's one of the top food places in Silver Spring without a doubt. I love this style of food, it's so good. It used to be hard to find this type of halal food in the area before they opened. If you want some classic New York style cart food they got it. 100000/10 now I'm craving it, lol. ALSO they serve you fast which is a bonus when you're really hungry“

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

“The best Chinese food in Maryland. Their chicken corn soup is amazing with some of their chili vinegar on the tables, don’t miss out on the soup as a starter. You could literally pick any random item and get it with your choice of fried rice variant as a side and you’d be happy no matter what.“

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

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

“Very nice shopping center for ward 7 🫶🏿“

“Awesome“

“best place in laurel area. delicious food“

“Wanted to try something new during birthday excursion. redditors recommended this place. finding out that they had a buffet helped me ensure I'd definitely find something I like. but I actually loved EVERYTHING they had in their buffet once I got there. had multiple plates. If I lived closer, it would've been a regular spot for me. hope to visit again soon. would recommend to anyone.“

“Everything was amazing! I especially enjoyed their lamb shank, so tender and juicy, perfect with the rice. The dumpling felt like a signature of theirs, and the sauce was really good. Fish of the day was cooked well but felt a bit pricey compared to their other items.

Parking can be hard to find, I went during weekday lunch hours but had to drive around the neighbour to find a street parking.“

“This is my favorite spot all halal & no pork! Them calzones are on point everytime!!!!“

“I'm hooked. Best cheese fries I've had in a long time, and the chicken and rice was on point.“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“Best way to describe it is as an Indian inspired - chipotle, noodles &co, poke place, etc. choose one or more proteins, carbs, veggies, toppings, sauces.

It allows for a variety of combinations that one should find very satisfying. The portion size was pretty good and the value was also very good but consider the high rent location you are in and take that into account. Restaurants in that general area by the convention center are “expense account joints”. I was glad they were there when I just wanted to take my time and eat something satisfying in a quiet place.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great experience! The food was very tasty and full of flavor. The bread was fresh and really good. Portions were generous, and the service was friendly and fast. Everything was clean and well prepared. I definitely recommend this place and will come back again.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I highly recommended this place. atmosphere is cozy food is delicious!“

“My sisters and I tried Rasa for the first time and the food was very tasty, fresh, fast and nicely seasoned. Sadly, the service was very much lacking. We came in and there were 6 people behind the counter, not one person greeted us or acknowledged our presence. They were working on a big to go order at the time, but it seemed like no one was really delegating and attending to people that were actually standing in line. Finally, a guy came over to take our order and as I was asking for what I wanted, he was exasperated from the very beginning. He quickly slopped the food in the bowl, no care at all. When I asked for my sauces on the side, he rolled his eyes and then I asked for pickled onions and he grabbed my bowl and begrudgingly put them on. He did the same with my sisters orders. He was incredibly rude and if you don't want to serve people, don't work in a service job. I did like the food though! Very tasty.“

“The pizza sauce is superior and the meat is pork-free, for those who have dietary restrictions. I haven't ordered anything I didn't like. Even the banana pudding was good.“

“My daughter had a graduation cake from Sweet Tooth Cakes and Pastries. when I tell you this cake was delicious, light, flavorful and looked beautiful!! it was all of that and more!!! The cake actually made me happy!!! Thank you Sweet Tooth for adding more joy to an already joyful day!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜“

“This mezeh is one of my most consistent weekly meals not only because the unique flavors and quality it offers, but because the consistent service I receive, which is top notch. Joanna, one of the staff members has always been the same, warm, patient person. If I come in late before it's about to close, it's super busy or anytime...she greets you with a smile and excitement to serve. As a DC native and ward 8 resident, knowing such a well run business is in my community is a gift.“

“Had a really great experience here! The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and had a welcoming vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again and recommend to others looking for good Halal Chinese food and great service!“

“Both the service and food were outstanding 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The spicy miso soup was delicious, and the noodles were incredibly chewy. I loved it!“

“My experience here just makes me want to believe that human beings are kind and the only way we grow is by spreading love and care. The owner and every employee here taught me a big lesson for life - humanity exits and help in whichever way you can! Thank you - loads of blessings coming your way!“

“Mezeh in Gaithersburg, Maryland is wonderful. Generous portions, the greatest variety of superb vegetable toppings, and the best falafel. Manager Mayra and employees are friendly, helpful, efficient.“

“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken, and a big part of that was thanks to Terrill. From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming, professional, and genuinely friendly. He took the time to make sure my order was exactly right and even gave great recommendations.

What really stood out was his attitude—he was patient, upbeat, and clearly cares about giving customers a great experience. Even when it got busy, he stayed calm and kept everything moving smoothly without making anyone feel rushed.

It’s not every day you come across someone who goes above and beyond like that. Terrill definitely made my visit better, and because of him, I’ll be coming back for sure. Dave’s Hot Chicken is lucky to have him!“

“The food at Naz’s Halal is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The chicken over rice is a personal favorite—seasoned perfectly and always hits the spot. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the portions are generous. Whether you’re grabbing a late-night bite or a quick lunch, you can’t go wrong here. Highly recommend!“

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