Halal Restaurants near Annandale, VA

“These were some of the most kind young gentleman I’ve ever ran into in my whole life. They greeted me with a nice kiss at the door. They where so kind and even gave my friend Accommodations because he’s blind out of his left ear and deaf out of his right eye when he asked for a sample, they gave him 2/4 of his meat and allowed him to eat the meat straight out of his hand followed by a “goood boy” the cashier said“

“so nice delicious with a reasonable price.“

“This place has been around for ages and we’ve been going here since we were kids. The food is authentic (especially the chaat papri and mithai) and the staff is always warm and welcoming. Yes, it might need a bit of an update but keep in mind it’s been around forever. Great place!“

“Today I went to Shah's Halal Food in Stratford, CT. Their food is well seasoned and very delicious!“

“5 stars isn’t enough for this level of handsomeness the guy who works there his name’s Sharam or something like that he was awesome. He was very professional, and helpful. Great customer service and so gentle .The definition of fine 😁“

“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.“

“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 Owner, Mo, is the best ever!! Super polite and respectful and always provides the best service! I’ve been coming in since they first opened and can’t stop coming back! Best Halal Fried Chicken spot in NOVA hands down!“

“delicious food and beautiful service and top notch management. reasonable prices“

“Amazing experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive the entire time. The food was fresh, delicious, and came out quickly. You can tell they truly care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. Definitely a 5-star experience and I’ll absolutely be coming back.“

“Good portion size. it's a convenient concept if you need to eat with a group of friends with different preferences and restrictions. The place was a bit untidy after a seemingly busy day, but that's the only downside. I appreciate the outdoor seating and a spacious, clean bathroom.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“With so many places to try, we rarely go back to the same restaurant. This is an exception. We've been going once or twice a year for 3 years, and it hasn't slipped a bit. This time we had the goat birria and chicken tinga tostada. Impeccable. The divey vibe lends to it's charm.“

“So flavorful! Worth the hype 😋tasty“

“While visiting family they took me here for lunch, the place is so beautifully decorated and clean. The volunteer who took our order was super friendly and you could feel the passion as they spoke about the business and how their mission is to help the less fortunate. I cannot wait to visit again to drink more of the qaiymoq chai and eat the steak & cheese! 😋“

“First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and wow 🔥🐔 definitely impressed! I ordered the mini 4 pieces, Dave’s Mozz, and the PR Orange Lavaburst drink. Everything was sooo delicious and fresh. The chicken had amazing flavor with the perfect crunch. I honestly ate everything 😂💯 Customer service was great and the food came out hot and fast. I can see why everybody talks about this place now. Definitely coming back again sometime. Champion spot for sure 🏆“

“This was our first time and the “bearded guy” was so helpful. We each got a taco and told him to make them however he likes them. He asked if we were allergic to anything and then delivered 2 incredible tacos. All of the flavors and textures were so well balanced. We will definitely be back!“

“Walking around the food court, one of the workers offered a sample of some of the chicken shawarma. It was good so I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap. It was shockingly good. I was honestly sad when I had finished it. The mango drink was really good, as well as the gyros. Highly recommend.“

“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 ordered through door dash buy one get one. They charged me full price for one pizza. I called the store and they fixed it right away. They did not even wait for door dash to fix it and the pizza was hot and amazing, definitely ordering again 10 stars“

“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 love this place ❤️. Highly recommend“

“Blazin Chicken & Gyro - Fairfax exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, and my order was ready much sooner than expected. The platter was loaded with flavorful chicken, perfectly cooked rice, fresh salad, and delicious sauces that tied everything together. The portions were very generous, making it an excellent value for the price. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and it's clear that the team takes pride in serving quality food and providing great customer service. I'll definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends and family.“

“it was alright, not as spicy as i thought i got 1 medium spice tender and 1 hot because i thought that it would be spicy, chicken tenders are huge by the way, poprocks drink tasted like vape juice, sour blue dust fogger if u want me to specify“

“I’ve ordered three times here since Nov 2025, and the halal indication is what made me curious to try the place. I’m happy Hunan Cafe is in the neighborhood! The food is good and clean, meat portions generous, the white rice that comes as a side was fragrant and tasty. I’m not left second guessing my order unlike other Chinese take out spots that can be too oily or use too much MSG. The service is reliable and friendly.

More details: I’ve placed over the phone with no issue and have ordered using the kiosk. They securely pack the takeout. I’ve earned a reward through Toast, the ordering app. There’s plenty of space to eat-in, if you’d like. I haven’t had an issue with parking, it’s a strip / plaza lot shared with other businesses. Dishes I’ve tried: spicy chicken wonton, lo mein, Taiwan noodle with veggie, Szechuan beef, and La Zhi chicken.“

“Amazing food and terrific atmosphere. We went for Christmas dinner and there was something on the menu for everyone.“

“The food was AMAZING. The flavors of each dish we had were so tasty. I ordered the Lamb Karahee with naan. The lamb was the best restaurant lamb I’ve had in my LIFE. The Naan was fresh-baked for the table. We’ll be back!“

“I recently tried Shah’s Halal Food in Fairfax, and it was a really good experience. The food tasted fresh, flavorful, and filling. I ordered the chicken and lamb over rice platter, and the portions were generous with well-seasoned meat and tasty white sauce. The rice was fresh, and the spicy sauce added a nice kick.

The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Service was also very fast, which makes it a great spot for a quick lunch or dinner. If you enjoy New York-style halal food, this place is definitely worth trying in Fairfax.

I’d especially recommend their combo platters, gyros, and falafel. Overall, great taste, good portions, and reasonable prices.“

“This is hands down the best burger I have ever had in my entire life. I am 36 years old and live for a good burger. Is it greasy? Yes. Will you need a ton of napkins? Yes. Is Jon’s sauce amazing? Yes. There’s even a bottle where you can get more of the sauce. The Coke machine was out of order, but there was a drink cooler full of everything you could need.“

“???? 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!“

“I came to Arlington for a business trip from Atlanta. I've been to the Ballston Food Court several times since I visit frequently. First time at Hal & Als and I ordered the brisket sandwich. the cashier who I assume is the owner was telling me about who he learned to make ribs from down in Atlanta. he was so hospitable too. he asked me to let him know what I thought. I completely forgot. everything was great. halal BBQ is a little different but it blew me away. I'll def revisit when I'm in Arlington again.“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stopped by last night and had a great experience. This is a family-run halal spot and you can really feel the hospitality when you walk in. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the service was great. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly.

If you’re looking for a solid halal chicken and burger spot with great customer service, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Several things I really like about this place. First it’s open really late at night and second it’s not crowded. The food is good and the kababs are freshly cooked to order and very juicy. Will definitely be coming back on late night runs“

“We just celebrated our daughter's 50th birthday at Zamarod. Food was delicious. I think we had everything on the menu, which is quite extensive, and each dish was incredible. Highly recommend!!!“

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

“I really appreciate Arlington Kabob changing out containers. The new ones are GREAT! Did not leak or collapse. Thank you for listening! Your food is amazing as always.

OLD REVIEW:
This review is based on to go orders.

The food here is exceptional, that’s why it’s unfortunate that I had to give a one star review.

All of my orders here are to go. Everytime i order the chickpeas or potatoes, the containers would break and food would leak out. In 10 orders i pick up, all 10 times this would happen. If the sides are stacked on top of each other the lids would crack and the containers would cave in. I understand because the sides may be too hot, but the containers needs to be stable enough to handle a 10min transport without leaking out.

I hope you can find a solution because the food here is great.“

“First of my family enjoyed the food but the fries were spicy even as on the scale not hot.Secondly The atmosphere was fine.And lastly the service was very kind and I had no problems with them. In conclusion the place was very nice and cool themed and I’m sure to come back one day:)“

“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.“

“I am visiting DC from the midwest, but I was unexpectedly welcomed home to Egypt for lunch in Dupont Circle. You will find legitimate Egyptian street/comfort food and the staff display true Middle Eastern hospitality & service very rare in America. The music (classic Arabic songs of love and heartbreak lol) and hearing the Egyptian dialect specifically completed the experience.“

“The best Indian food place in the entire DMV area. The most flavorful food around. Our favorite dishes are Chicken 65, Chole Bhature, and Butter chicken. Mango Lassi is delicious as well. The inside is decorated very tastefully, and the staff is super friendly.“

“This was my first experience with this type of food, and it was good! Very filling, the single protein platter was more than I could eat in one sitting, and I'm a rather large eater. I would go back. However, I would say The Halal Guys are comparable to the Little Ceasars or Domino's of their place in the industry. If you want to play it safe with a commercialized version of Halal food, then this is it. Please don't take that as a negative, Little Ceasars has its place in the market & it's time for when necessary, and so does The Halal Guys.“

“The most delicious, authentic Indian food served by a most gracious gentleman. The Nan, of which there are several choices, was warm and buttery. The homemade cheese was exceptionally delicious. Another diner had butter chicken and was raving at how tender the chicken was. And the samosas were wonderful. Everything at our table was a 10 out of 10. Treat yourself, dine at this wonderful restaurant!“
