Halal Restaurants near Olney, MD

“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.“

“Amazing!! 10/10!! Stopped in for a quick bite before a Nationals game, will definitely be planning on doing the exact same thing again!!“

“I’ve always tried Nazs halal always on Uber eats or DoorDash but today I had the opportunity of trying it in person and I gotta say the food was fresh delicious and the staff was nice and friendly and the environment was perfect. It was so good that I’m contemplating of coming tomorrow and having the same thing.“

“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 saw a brochure of the restaurant on my door when I came home and decided to try the restaurant. I ordered a salad and a pizza. The pizza was amazing but the service was exceptional. Mh uber driver stole my bowl of salad and blamed the restaurant for it. When I called the manager reassured everything was given to him and went above and beyond to prove it by sending me a picture of him personally handing the food to the guy.. I've never experienced such an incredible service and I will for sure order again in the future. I am 100% recommending this restaurant“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Best food joint out there. :)“

“Had yummylicious karahi real flavour of Pakistan’s Karahi � . Tasty ever.“

“Door Dashed it for the first time last night. Yummy and enough for 2 meals for me. New fan!“

“Had the vegie samosa and chicken kabob wrap. Both were delicious and filling. The host was friendly but quiet, and choices were abundant. The place is simply decorated. Not sure if it sees itself as a takeout or eat-in.I will be back to try more dishes.

Dietary restrictions: They have vegie and nonvegie options.“

“Amina Thai in Rockville is an excellent spot to relax and enjoy some delicious Thai food. Their extensive menu features a variety of dishes, catering to both meat lovers and vegetarians alike. I tried the chicken Pad Thai, and it was truly exceptional. The sauce was wonderfully tangy, and there was plenty of chicken—definitely a step up from many Asian restaurants that skimp on meat.

We also ordered the veggie noodles, which were decent but didn’t stand out. Overall, the prices are reasonable, making it a great value. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the dining experience. If you’re in the area, Amina Thai is definitely worth a visit!

Dishes Ordered: Veggie Drunken Noodles, Chicken Pad Thai and Tofu Vegetable“

“We've been driving all the way down to Moby Dicks at the Kentlands, and then to the new Shady Grove restaurant, from Thurmont, MD. Yes, the food is that good! Now there's one in Frederick.���“

“The food and service at this place is always awesome. Especially the gentleman who runs the front of the house. His name is Marvin, and he's the nicest guy you could ever meet. If you want good food, pretty quickly, and like people in general, this is a great place to get it. I've become a regular customer and I love this place.“

“The best hole-in-the-wall Mexican place in Gaithersburg. However the staff plays loud music on all the TVs, loud enough they can hear it from the kitchen... but as a customer you have to sit by those TVs and the noise is unpleasant. Meals here are fantastic, they just can't last too long on account of the noise.“

“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.“

“This Mediterranean restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a vibrant open kitchen that instantly set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The concept of building your own bowl or wrap is executed flawlessly here, with an impressive array of fresh, high-quality ingredients that cater to every taste and dietary preference.

What sets Mezeh apart is their commitment to fresh, natural ingredients. Everything is made from scratch daily, and you can taste the quality in every component. As someone who appreciates healthy yet flavorful food, I was thrilled to see vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options so seamlessly integrated into the menu.

The ambiance is casual yet inviting, with plenty of seating (including pet-friendly outdoor tables!) and a clean, modern vibe. At around $11 for a generously portioned meal, it’s an incredible value for the quality and quantity you get.

Whether you’re a Mediterranean food lover or just looking for a quick, delicious, and affordable meal, this place will not disappoint. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

“Food is OK but not great.“

“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..“
