Halal Restaurants near Columbia, MD

“Tried Upper Crust for the first time today. It’s now my new go to pizza place. We’ve lived in Elkridge on the east end of HoCo for 25 years and our local joints have just fallen off lately so i went in search of a new place to get good pizza. I love good pizza. This place has great crust, it’s crispy and chewy just like it’s supposed to be. The ratio of sauce and cheese and toppings was just right too. If you’re looking for good pizza in central or eastern HoCo this is the place. It’s right near Howard High. Thank you Upper Crust for being there for me and having great pizza.“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious! The spicy chicken and fish were cooked perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The seasoning was on point with just the right amount of heat, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. Portions were generous and the quality was top-tier. Definitely one of the best spots for spicy chicken and fish. I’ll 100% be coming back and recommending this place to others.“

“bad service and over charched.“

“My only other experience with afghani food was prepared by local international students from Afghanistan. It was to die for.
I will be honest, I was hesitant to try this place because my expectations were really high given my past experience with the cuisine.
It did NOT disappoint. Don’t skip a beat coming to this place. The food is exceptional, from the rice, to the naan, to the meat. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. As a bonus, our two year old devoured the food as well.
We ordered the Wednesday special which was chicken jalfarazi and the chicken and lamb kabob.“

“The store is always very well stocked, clean, nice, professional and welcoming. I always find everything I need here from Pakistan to make very healthy and wholesome Pakistani food. The store owner is always very caring, welcoming, helpful and professional. I always feel right at home when I am shopping here. Keep up the great work, Danish Foods.“

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

“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.“

“The food here is so good and fresh! Definitely recommend.“

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

Prepare for a food adventure that'll make your palate dance to the Bebop beat! 🎵🔥🍔“

“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.“

“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“

“First time visiting here. Halal BBQ is a relatively new concept around here and wanted them ncheck it out. Ordered two Halal Beef Brisket sandwich combos with french fries and a canned soft drink each, a Halal Bacon and Brisket combo sandwich with curly fries and can of coke, Mozzarella cheese sticks combo and a chicken tender serving. Overall the family enjoyed the food, my beef bacon was over cooked and the strips of beef brisket were thin slivers of meat with a barely discernable flavor coated with copious amounts of BBQ sauce. First impression was so-so, for me. Seating was barely adequate with people standing over your head to order. It was night time and rainy sonif they have outdoor seating, it was not part of the equation tonight. I will definitely visit again as I like to support small upcoming businesses and I like the concept of contemporary American food for those who prefer to eat Halal.“

“The Best in Town!“

“I was amazed with the flavor and moistness of their falafel!! Outstanding!! And the sauces - superb!! They supported the Running Brook Elementary School Spring Fair on Saturday June 4, 2022.“

“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!“

“The service is always friendly & respectful. The food is consistently good & what you want. It is the best meat over rice platter I have ever had in my 10 years of getting this dish! Their other food is good too. Burgers & chicken sandwiches!
It’s a carry out in a gas station that is clean & well kept. I like that there are other small business people that work from this gas station.“

“He makes great steak and cheese or chicken and cheese. And he has all beef, hot dogs. He make sure everything's perfect. Before he gets it out to you, If kids combine don't have money for a hot dog, he pays for it out of his own pocket. Hes a very kind, loving business owner.“

“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!“

“Good sushi 🍣 and hibachi food“

“Best quality food“

“I’ve been eating food at this place for a few years. The food always tastes amazing especially if you are looking for South Indian style. One of the only places that will serve Pulao as well as a variety of Biryanis. The staff and owner are also very nice and serve the food with a lot of care“

“Good food awesome location on a nice day you can eat outside.“

“Great Food taste great, basic and general but Worth The Wait, Just ask how You desire it cook, as far as length of time under heat, I don't complain I just ask. I like the Store Vibe it's clean looking as if a hospital was There, So clean enough to sit and eat or just wait for Your Food, The Pricing is priced understanding from my perspective. Also There are others stores near by if you greedy to add more food to your plate, and There a dispensary not to far away at all. The location is Bus friendly if you don't drive or fly like Superman. I have order The 6 wings and fries and mozzarella sticks 5 and a fish sandwich. Pretty much About $28.00. Still I am satisfied. Because my food was not cursed. I go to places that the evil eye is not preparing a meal that will go into my existence. So Yes This Spot Was Advised for Me to go. Hopefully they stay consistent With There Set apart Vibe. Even now I desire more of throws Chicken wings and fries and Fish Sandwich. It was Good and package well. Thank You. And Thank You YHWH4EVER For allowing me to EAT THERE.“
