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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Maiwand Kabob is probably the best food I’ve had all year and I’m from Charleston South Carolina we aren’t hurting for choices. I would recommend the falafel, babaganoush, chicken shawarma, and gyro platter. Any of the meals or appetizers will definitely fill you up. Very generous servings.“

“We order two of the burger combos; a double cheese and a halal bacon cheese. Both were quite quite good and the portion size was more than adequate. My double cheese was hefty even and the fries were done nicely - a simple thing often done poorly.

We ordered though the restaurants website and the price was 13.50 each plus tax and tip. They also seem to have a rewards program.

The downside was that the order was delivered by Uber Eats and while the delivery driver was prompt I am not a fan of Uber Eats due to their inflated surcharges. Unfortunately, all the delivery services are have inflated surcharges while passing little into the drivers.

Overall we quite liked it and I plan on trying their gyros and rice platters in the near future.“

“Nice gyros, shawarmas and salads.

I have come here multiple times, especially when it’s late and I love that they’re open even after the clubs close. Late night snacks slap here.

Their falafel is pretty good, it’s the main option for a vegetarian dish but to be expected. I do wish there was a bit more variety but it’s okay.
My friend got a beef salad and he seemed pretty happy with it.

Decorations are pretty simple and bland. Definitely not on the more welcoming side, but it does the job well. I like that they have a little patio, perfect for the summer days.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Here’s a polished review you can post:

Absolutely love this place! The lamb and chicken are always cooked to perfection, the rice is flavorful, the salad is fresh, and the sauce brings everything together perfectly. Every meal is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous for such reasonable prices. It’s hard to find quality, taste, and value all in one place, but this food cart delivers every time. I truly hope they continue maintaining the same standards because they’ve earned a loyal customer.“

“We spotted this cute little place while walking by and those red umbrellas caught our eye. We sat outside under the trees and had the tortilla and falafel, the food was absolutely amazing! The staff were super friendly and attentive too. Definitely worth stopping by! ❤“

“The spice blends here do not play around. The Jerk Chicken platter is an absolute standout—juicy, smoky, and packed with serious heat that meshes surprisingly well with classic Mediterranean white and red sauces. Even the simple yellow basmati rice is loaded with flavor.
Portions are Enormous. The platters come heaped with rice, a massive pile of protein, and a crisp Mediterranean salad blend. Order a side of warm pita, and you easily have two full meals packed into one tray.
Lightning-fast output whether you're grabbing a late-night bite or ordering takeout delivery. The food stays burning hot in the container, and the sauces come generously on the side so nothing gets soggy.
Straightforward, high-turnover casual spot. It’s clean and efficient, but heavily geared toward quick pick-ups and delivery rather than an extended sit-down experience.

A total hidden gem in Alexandria. Get the Mixed Chicken & Lamb or the Jerk Chicken Platter, ask for extra white sauce, and try the avocado fries if you want a killer side.“

“Wow, this food truck is amazing. So delicious. We were staying at the hotel next door and saw this filood truck and said, why not. Best decision to do so. Everything was so delicious. We ate it so fast, I didn't take pictures. The owner was super nice as well.“

“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.“

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

“Good food and good service“

“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).“

“This is a great spot especially for the kiddos. My son ran to the family dollar to buy a family size Doritos, it’s only $3 dollars extra for the big size bag of chips.
I order the jerk chicken platters. Everything was awesome, customer service is kind and pleasant.

The reason for the 4 star was the yum yum sauce that was on the jerk chicken. I thought I asked for sauce on the side. I really didn’t care for that on jerk chicken.
Definitely come check them out!“

“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.“

“I went to Naz’s Halal today for their grand opening, and I was greeted with such a warm welcome! 🥰 They were giving away free food and prizes, and the platter was THE BOMB! 🔥🔥 Everything was so good, and the customer service was amazing. Definitely a great grand opening! ❤️“

“We went to Lapis last night with a group and had an incredible experience. We ordered a whole table full of shareables to split, and honestly, every single plate was packed with flavor. The real star of the night for me was the Kishmish Old Fashioned. It was unbelievably delicious and easily one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time.

On top of the food, the service was truly impeccable. The staff took great care of us without hovering, and the whole atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We all had a wonderful time and can’t recommend this place highly enough. We'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“I like to go here about once a week for lunch. The owner is nice and the food is ready quickly. You get quite a bit of food for the price. It's important to support this truck especially considering a chain halal restaurant opened up just feet away.“

“Awesome“

“Always the best food and the family that runs this restaurant is amazing. We like going places where you feel appreciated as a customer.“

“Keeping in mind that I'm no expert in Chinese food AND so, I can only compare apples to apples, it's a decent restaurant. I have to say that it is definitely a lot more tasty than many other Chinese restaurants in the area. The veggies are not frozen or canned, there was real freshness to them. The guy at the counter was nice and friendly. Overall a good experience and plan to return.“

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

“First time eating here and the food was tasty😋! I got the combo over rice which comes with chicken + lamb over some seasoned rice w/veggies, salad, and 4 sauces (white, spicy white, cilantro, and little hot). Honestly the combo is that GWORRRRLLL✨

Service was quick and I think it’s was because I went there later in the day (7:20pm), which is closer to closing time. So it was also empty but I didn’t mind, I was hungry.

I also asked Sureya the cashier to put a likkle bit chickpeas on top and he did😊

I didn’t dine in or get a pic of the cute inside, but I’d recommend it. 10/10“

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

“They have a very unique specialty pizza with gyro meat that is amazing and unlike any other I have found. So yum. Also, when I had one bad delivery experience after usually good service, they went out of their way to make it up to me on the next order. Great pizza, (usually) good service, and a refreshing concern for keeping this regular customer happy. 👍“

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

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

“Stopped by Jon’s Joint and had the Juicy Lucy along with their shakes, and everything was seriously good and kids loved it.

The burgers were fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly, with those smashed burger patties getting that delicious crispy edge while still staying juicy inside. The Juicy Lucy was definitely the highlight! 🍔

The shakes were also really good — thick, creamy, and a great pairing with the burger.

Overall, fresh ingredients, crispy smash patties, and great flavor. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in DC and craving a solid burger!“

“On 10/13/06 we visited this restaurant and let me tell you the food here is absolutely amazing! The ceviche was a total 10/10—so fresh and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the lomo saltado, and it was another easy 10/10. On top of the incredible food, the girl who took our order was super friendly and welcoming. The cumbias they were playing were totally on point and created a fun vibe, though I’d recommend turning the volume down just a little bit so it's easier to talk. Also, as a small suggestion for management, adding a baby changing table to the bathrooms would be a huge help for families. Overall, a great spot that I highly recommend!“

“I order from here very often, this place is delicious every time. Never had a bad experience eating here, it's unfortunate for my wallet to have found this place

I've tried many of the kabob places around the area, this one always comes out on top“

“The food was ok. Fresh nice size pieces of meat and rice. It is a bit more expensive than other Grill Kabob locations in the nearby areas such on 19th St NW, and other DMV locations. Not really worth the price point. Due to price range I am not in a rush to return to this particular location.

I do like that the hours are open longer starting towards the middle of the week.“

“amazing food. though I would recommend to skip the pork cheek vindaloo which was the final course. and go for something else if available. and the dessert could have been more creative. but I'm nitpicking here .. overall it was fantastic“

“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!“

“Unique, tasty, affordable, convenient cuisine!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“
