Halal Restaurants near Vaughan, ON

“The food was excellent and fairly priced, but the thing that truly set this place apart was the service. Whoever was working the counter on Tuesday September 2nd genuinely provided me some of the best customer service I have seen at a restaurant, we were helped pick options, he was extremely kind, and he even came out the give our food to us.“

“No doubt, the best pizza in town! My family’s favorite is the Goshtkhor. On top of that, Hina & Umair from the Markham branch provided excellent customer service. Keep it up, guys!“

“Yesterday , i went to this place, and i was surprised with the food and customer service. They helped me to choose food menu and place was very neat and clean, and vegetables was fresh. I must say, Amazing food and peaceful ambiance, whatelse we need in this hectic day!!! I tried chicken shawarma and falafel plate ; chicken was so juicy and falafel is top notch with its crunchy texture!!! Must place to go for shawarma if you are in vaughan side!!!“

“Amazing food and customer service!“

“Service was excellent, food perfect, and the owner came over and said hello. What else would one want?“

“Excellent spot if you are NOT hungry yet and happen to be craving any combination of fries, poutine, or shawarma, especially for Halal meat.

They have really solid daily $10 specials (Sunday is Jerk Chicken Poutine) for a LARGE.

We were there around 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon, and there was only one person waiting ahead of us in line. This is a great time to come because by 3:15, there were at least 7 or 8 people! Some had made orders in advance over the phone (or online via Uber Eats), so I'm not sure what their influx truly was - but I will say that their estimated time for us of 25 minutes was far off the mark. We waited just a hair over 36 minutes.

Based on the comments made by other patrons (at the restaurant that day, but also through reviews), this timing issue seems common. Therefore, I do not recommend coming hungry.

Once you get the food though, it's a fairly respectable portion. We got 2 Jerk Chicken Poutines, a Gorillas Fries, and regular Poutine (all size large), and split between four adults, it was decently filling.

We're not usually fries eaters this so take this with a grain of salt (haha), but we found the meal definitely to be on the saltier end. The jerk chicken has a bit of spice but not a ton, and the meat on the gorilla fries felt similar to burger meat. (Burger meat with cheese and sauce is basically stereotypical comfort food). The regular price feels a bit steep but if your preferred meal of choice happens to be the daily special, it's hard to go wrong for $10.

All in all, it's probably a true 3, but because of their daily specials, I can make the case that on particular days, it's actually a 4 (since those are evergreen daily specials from what I understand). But hey, we're rounding up to support local businesses, so let's call it a 5, okay? Just don't come hungry!

My rating is based on what it would take for me to come back.
LEGEND: I'll be back...
1: Only if I'm being paid to eat here (ex. work)
2: Only if a friend is treating (or ↑; being paid)
3: Only if on a promo/discount (or ↑; friend pays)
4: If it's nearby or on the way (or ↑; promo)
5: As soon as I crave this cuisine (or ↑)“

“The food was delicious and freshly prepared, offering great flavor and variety, services was also very friendly and efficient, making the dinning experience really enjoyable.“

“I heard about this restaurant from reviews. I wanted to try their food. Unfortunately, their customer service is very slow. Ordering ahead of time stil not helpful for speedy pickup. Another customer told me ordered 35 minutes ago and still he was waiting.
Restaurant is clean, washroom was good too. The person taking orders at cash and waitress the same person and she was running around and made her to forget as well (she was nice and pleasant).“

“just WOW! I stopped at the cedar pointe location this afternoon to grab some doubles and they did not disappoint! I've been waiting for someone to open a place that makes delicious doubles in Barrie and I will be going back for sure!“

“Good food and good environment“

“From Newmarket to Richmond Hill, there are countless restaurants, but the flavours Apple Restaurant brings to the table are truly next level. The quality is unbelievable — easily worthy of 5‑star reviews. It’s one of those Persian cuisine gems that may not look glamorous from the outside, yet the food makes every visit unforgettable. If you’re in the area, this spot is an absolute must‑try.“

“After going to their yonge and weldrick location for many many years, I happened to be in north Richmond hill (yonge and king road) and saw this other location! What can I say, very friendly welcoming service, clean organized interior and very fresh quality meat. Prices are average compared to the other 500+ kabob restaurants in this area but Taftan seems to stand out simply because of their reputation and large portion sizes. Today I got the barg (filet mignon beef) combo with rice and a side order of a chicken leg skewer. And hey they even threw in free cans of pop, lots of butter packets for the rice, packets of sumac (that tangy but distinct middle eastern red spice), and a pita bread! I’ll be sure to return again.“

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

“The staff at this Pita Land are incredibly friendly, courteous and always smiling. Their chicken shawarma salad bowl was super tasty and the baklava box is always a treat I look forward to. The prices are average compared to other restaurants in the food court. I highly recommend visiting this Pita Land if you’re in the area!“

“this place is amazing and the food is perfect. I am a vegetarian and I ordered falafal wrap and Falafel plate with rice. The portion size is huge. me and my husband ordered 2 combo- One wrap+fries+coke can (2 of these=40$ in total) but we couldn’t finish it. The staff was super friendly and took care of our special requests. Special thanks to Rajvinder Kaur ji, who gave us amazing food and extra ketchup and tray when asked for. I would give it10/10. Would definitely recommend!! I will come again with my husband’☺️“

“Hands down the BEST Burger in the city. Whenever I get the urge for a berg its hard to top my own,, A big pain in the arse. BUT no more!! Because Yonge Burger is is the best of the best Burg's in Toronto! French fries, onion rings are delicious too. Also, you can't beat the price. Also Quality & Service is outstanding.“

“Good food and good environment“

“We had a wonderful experience at Caravan Kabob in Richmond Hill! We ordered the family platter, which came with a delicious whole chicken, 2 juicy chapli kebabs, 4 fresh naan, hummus, crispy fries, and a generous salad. To our surprise, they also gave us complimentary firni for dessert — such a thoughtful touch!
They weren’t frugal with the sauces either, and everything was packed with flavor. The customer service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance was cozy, welcoming, and very clean.

Definitely recommend for a family meal or group gathering. We’ll be back!“

“The flafal bowl can be a good choice for vegetarian if you are someone who’s struggling to find good one😅😅it’s better than osmos for sure
Try it once!!!
You can count on me you will never regret ❤️
Thank me later 🥰“

“Best jerk chicken I’ve ever had! Everything is homemade from the hot sauce to the spices. The owner, Luca, marinates and cooks the chicken himself right outside, and you can truly taste the passion he puts into every plate. He was welcoming and friendly, and the food was just incredible. Highly recommend Yardy’s Jerk Chicken!“
