Halal Restaurants near Annandale, VA

“I visited Bites in Annandale for the first time yesterday, and I absolutely fell in love with the place. The food is incredible—so flavorful, with lots of topping choices and a variety of sauces. They have delicious chicken and another meat option (both were amazing). I highly recommend getting the combo! Their desserts are also a must-try. I had a crepe with Oreo, KitKat, Nutella, banana, and strawberries, and it was absolutely delicious.

The best part is that they’re open until 4 in the morning, which was perfect since I was looking for a late-night spot. The staff was extremely friendly, even during the late hours. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy the patio on a nice day. Everything was just perfect. I can’t recommend Bites enough—whether it’s for a quick bite during the day or a late-night meal, this place is worth a visit!

Kid-friendliness: I would recommend the lamb for kids or anyone not used to spicy food, as the chicken has a bit of a spicy kick. The lamb is flavorful and a great alternative!“

“Trust me the taste is amazing it’s unbelievable i feel like im in kabul and eating this. Thank you so much from Afghanistan shawarma and burger for such a quality food.“

“A home-y “hole in the wall” place with good food and sweets. Don’t let this place’s looks throw you off. The AYCE/buffet is $13.99 and you serve yourself then pay after. The honesty system is strong! During our meal, the workers let us try different sauces and explained the options.

I don’t know the names very well but I had: rice with chickpeas, the “stewed” chicken, tandoori chicken, chickpeas, and eggplant. The eggplant and stewed chicken were my favorite! The meats are all SOOOO tender. We also ordered the Naan and it was the freshest we’ve had!

We ended with dessert from the buffet. It was Gulab and soooo good! It was sweet and perfect to end the meal.

Afterwards, one of the workers was so kind as to explain what each dessert was and the flavors. He let us try one of them for free. And then when I ended up picking 2 other desserts, he gifted them because we were new to the place!!!

Service was great!

Would definitely come back!“

“Food was just perfect and the staff is very friendly. The lamb was just amazing!“

“ما شاء الله مطعم مع اراكيل شي راقي ونظيف استقبال روعه اسلوب تعامل حلو جدا ..... شكرآ لكم وفقكم ربي“

“Very excellent customer service and food was amazing.“

“Just ordered from here for the first time and the food came quickly and was impressively good. I recommend the lamb/chicken combo.“

“Yummy chicken and pita bowl! The store was hygienic.“

“I love trying new hot chicken places around the DMV and this place definitely deserves the number one spot. The sauce options make the chicken even better and the prices are great. The flavors of the chicken is sooo good. Can’t wait to bring my friends and family soon!“

“Approaching the place, it is super bright, which helps finding it as the restaurant is set back from the buildings around it. This also gave us a sense of safety walking in.
There was someone at the counter ready to assist us, but being our first time in, we opted for a kiosk, off to the right side, with a big and equally bright screen, displaying images of every dish. This was very helpful and made the ordering easy and quick, even for us newbies to the place.
We opted to take out. Already, in the car, the aroma of delicious food filled the air. Once at our place, we started opening the containers and wrappers, even the packaging was excellent, inside the plastic bag, a heavy-duty paper back, stapled to containers to prevent shifting and spilling during transport.
The food was utterly delicious, from simple salad, tzatziki sauce (some of the best I have tried anywhere), chickpeas, seasoned fries, shawarmas and kabob.
It would be 2 thumbs up but both my hands were busy.“

“We love Box'd Kitchen! This place has quickly become one of our favorite local restaurants! Food is delicious and the portions are super generous! Great price. All nutrition info is posted on their website and their meat is halal.“

“I love this place ❤️. Highly recommend“

“Great, it's delicious. I suggest you all try it.“

“Staff was very polite. Just got take-out pizza from this place. The only challenge was getting out of the parking area as the turn was really tight. Btw, the place is at the back of the Halal Bazaar. Will come back to try more of their offerings.“

“I know some people have seen this on ticktock or Instagram, but it doesn't give this place justice. Any size bag of chips can get filled with everything on the menu. Rice, fries, pico, cheese, lamb, beef, and chicken. The pita pouch is fantastic. Can't wait to go back and get the loaded fries!“

“You don’t see many 4.9 star ratings that aren’t inflated by bots, but this halal cart is truly deserving of its rating. Owner is super friendly and provides his availability on Instagram on a daily basis. Food is super yummy and I wish I could stop by more often. Vegetarian sides are super flavorful, and the spicy sauce is as well.“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“This food is delicious! I’m so glad I tried a sample - I was truly pleasantly surprised. The quality is amazing especially for a food court meal. Everything was really well seasoned and it still felt healthy. The customer service was great too. I would definitely go back and have this again… I’m so glad I didn’t get a burger or a sandwich which was my original plan.“

“Always delicious traditional Egyptian fare. My Egyptian husband makes me drive two hours just to eat here. Although the food is delicious and healthy, my fav thing is the mint lemonade which they make by hand.“

“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!“

“Always a great place to eat! The customer service is wonderful and the food is incredible!“

“???? the food here is absolutely delicious! ???? They were parked at Patriot Park North and I absolutely enjoyed the Lamb Gyro I had to have it twice this weekend! I also got the fries which were also amazing! They were cut and cooked fresh! The price tag is a little high but believe me it it is well worth it!“

“Food was delicious and service is top notch.“

“THE BEST BURGER SPOT IN THE DMV HANDS DOWN!!!!!

There is no smash burger in the whole dmv that compares. Perfectly crispy patties that are still melt in your mouth goodness. Perfect toppings to bun ratio. I wish I could eat this everyday. Never going to another burger spot again I found my home base 🤲🏼

Dietary restrictions: It’s 100% HALAL!!!!“

“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.“

“Great Everything is great Great food Professional staff Mr Husnain has great professional attitude“

“This is my one of my favourite local spots. I’ve been trying their food since they’ve opened and I’ve loved the consistency in the pricing and food. I’ve especially loved the newer plastic packaging, how flavourful each meal is, and how their service is exceptional. Food is made quickly and fresh; i highly recommend the lamb platter with extra white and red sauce.“

“Best thai in town Fairfax city area“

“I think the concept is great but could use some improvement. The shawarma meat is a bit tough to eat in a taco so I think they should work on making the meat a bit softer otherwise the food was good. If I happen to eat here again and they improve on the meats tenderness I will edit this review to give a full 5/5 otherwise until then 4/5.“

“Tasty corner is by far the best value for taste in Georgetown. Raul and his family made me the best quesadilla Ive ever had by a country mile. Small businesses like this are heart and soul of our nation. Come for the great food, come back to support a lovely family.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Absolutely fell in love with their smash burgers. The flavor profiles all come together so well. The burgers are so well made. You can taste the quality and service is great as well. The owner is super attentive and puts out a fantastic product. They have seating for a few people inside and a couple of tables right outside the storefront.“

“Interesting “northern”Chinese food. Different from the regular Chinese food“

“My rating reflects my overall impression but it would have been 5 stars if I was rating how this place meets the expectation of a quick street style halal food vendor. I had both sandwich and platter. Food is fresh, simple and good, service friendly and inside was clean. Exactly what I wanted for a quick lunch, and I'll be back for more when I need a quick and satisfying meal.“

“Ate here for the first time today. Loved the lamb platter I had. Large enough it should have been 2 meals, but I liked it enough it was only one.

Service was quick even during lunchtime rush. I usually go to the “Halal guys” down the street, but will definitely swap over to Shah’s.

I can’t wait to go back to try their chicken and waffles!

Parking: If there is no parking immediately around the building, there is usually some just behind the building. This site used to be a Dunkin’ Donuts and the lot was always full. Sometimes disconcerting to maneuver around because it was so tight.
Shah’s did a great job cleaning up some of that parking madness.“

“Authentic Afghan Cuisine & Outstanding Service!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Afghan Restaurant Authentic Cuisine & Sheeryakh, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was warm and welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, providing excellent customer service with a genuine smile.

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with rich, authentic Afghan flavors. The kabobs were perfectly grilled, the rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the mantu were just incredible. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of love into their cooking.

If you’re looking for a place that serves mouthwatering Afghan food with top-notch service in Alexandria, VA, I highly recommend Afghan Restaurant Authentic Cuisine & Sheeryakh. Can’t wait to visit again!“

“Delicious food!!! Yummy 😋“
