Halal Restaurants near Mount Rainier, MD

“Update: since this experience I haven't had one nearly as bad as this the pizza is good and the cheesecake is delicious glad I tried it again after the bad first impression. ?
I know it's the Superbowl but I really can't accept this experience. Driver was amazing even went back to the restaurant to get an extra pizza. Reason why because our order took over 2 hours to get here and unfortunately they didn't even bring us 1 of the pizza we actually ordered. We got 2 random meat covered pizzas and all we ordered was extra cheese & chicken. The extra pizza was nice but I'm still not happy with getting 2 pizzas I can't eat. Wings are good but this was a terrible experience. Glad I ordered them since it was the only think I could eat from a $50 order. I think what we originally ordered would've been good and I could've eaten this one if not for the other meats. Ordered through slice.“

“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!“

“I love everything that Omar’s have to offer! I usually order online to pick up and it’s always ready on time or earlier. The platters are filled with delicious flavors. My favorite is the lamb platter and add chickpeas or corn. Pickled turnip is also great. Omar signature sauce + white sauce combo is so good I can take a bath in it!!! (JKJK) The employees are always helpful, working hard to get that fresh food out. This is our weekly dinner spot and I am lucky that they are right down the street from my house!“

“GREAT food, and some of the friendliest people in Bethesda! We’ll be frequent fliers...for sure.“

“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.“

“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.“

“During my weekend stay in Washington DC I was able to visit the New York Grill twice.

Both times the food was IMMACULATE! I highly recommend the Lamb Gyro, and the fries were very good too!

Even with roughly a 20 Minute walk back to my hotel, the food comes out hot, and well wrapped, allowing the heat to stay within and keep your food warm for quite a while!

Overall, this was my favorite place we ate over the course of 3 days, out of about a dozen spots.

I DEFINITELY Recommend the New York Grill! Please patronize this great establishment, hell go 3 times a day if your budget allows!

I'll certainly miss the NY Grill while I'm back home in Western PA.“

“Honestly, we weren’t expecting much here. It feels more like a club café next to the basketball gallery than a restaurant. You know, the kind of spot where students grab a quick bite after a game. So yeah, I was ready for bland food or maybe even leftovers.

But wow, we were so wrong. Everything is halal, the lady at the front not only took our order but made the sandwich right in front of us. The fries? Insanely good. The sandwich? One of the best we’ve had. Before leaving, she even surprised us with her special Baklava, which was the sweetest touch.

Sure, the seating could use some love and a good clean-up. But honestly, I’d still give this place 5 stars, just for her warmth and kindness. She looked so happy when we told her how much we loved the food, and that made the whole experience even better.“

“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!“

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

“Chicken and lamb combo over rice with chickpeas is delicious! You can tell this food is made with love. Those chickpeas are the best I've ever had! Most food trucks make my tummy a bit unhappy, but not this one! Plus it feels like a good way to spend my money. Supporting local hardworking kind people while getting a delicious meal out of it is a win/win for me!“

“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“

“We had never tried Afghani food before, and I am so glad we did. The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They recommended the Mini Taste of Arocostia for our first time. Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The food was cooked perfectly. The service was great! We never had to ask to have our beverages filled up, because they were already on top of it before we had to ask. They packed all our leftovers into boxes for us for our way home. We will definitely be going back!“

“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“

“I ordered delivery and the food was REALLY good and I had no problems. When I tried to call the restaurant to give positive feedback, the person on the phone didn't care and hung up.

Good food..bad customer service. Only dropped overall rating one star.“

“Awesome“

“I believe there used to be a different restaurant in this spot, but I visited this one a while back and found the food just as delicious as the previous place, even though it’s a different menu. The portions and prices were reasonable, and I appreciated the polite service from an older gentleman.“

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

“I love taken the family there on the weekends. They have very good food in a child friendly environment. They always have something for everyone in the family that would personalize and enjoy.“

“This place is delicious. We only had a few days in DC, so we had to be selective where we ate. I don't think I've ever had straight Afgan food, but this place didn't disappoint. About 1/3 of their menu is vegan. They were very accommodating for vegan food, they made modifications even without asking.

If you are vegan, don't miss this gem if you are in DC.“

“Very nice shopping center for ward 7 🫶🏿“

“We finally found a great Chinese restaurant worth sponsoring!The food is excellent, fresh and they have healthy options. We really enjoy steamed chicken and broccoli, steamed dumplings and rice noodles. The owner is a wonderful young man and the employees are very kind. Truly a neighborhood gem.“

“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!“

“This place was my first time ordering from a halal place and absolutely in love with it now the food do delicious lamb was absolutely amazing and blew my taste buds away. The chicken was juicy and flavorful the fries are wonderful the rice was absolutely better then any other place I’ve tried baklava strawberry cheese cake and felt like my soul transected to place of existence. 10/10 I’m ordering here all the time .“

“Messy as anything but truly delicious burger. Wasn't impressed looking at it, but that all changed after the first bite. Please dont judge by the picture because it really was fantastic! Good fries too.
Higley reccomend this place, but probably hit takeout because it's just a simple eat & go type interior.“

“Amazing customer service delicious food and fast service please go check it out“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“I took my family to this restaurant they have a buffet during Ramadan and there’s plenty of varieties. The food is delicious and the employees are very sweet and helpful.“

“Fresh, flavorful curries in large portion sizes! I’ve tried their paneer masala with a side of potatoes and cauliflower and roti - which is essentially a full-sized Indian meal, for under twenty. Their samosas and mango lassi were also quite filling and delicious.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! It's like Chipotle but for Indian flavored cuisine. Delicious flavors and hearty portion sizes. I love the vegan option of the Cauliflower Quinoa Bowl. Service was also very friendly. I ended up eating here like 4 times while in town for a conference because it was so delicious!“

“Actually - really good kebab. Good vibes. Great sides. Like a really solid kebab place, although parking is a bit of a pain in the butt, but like the restaurant is absolutely …. Chefs kiss when it comes to what you want out of a kebab place.“

“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.“

“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.“
