Halal Restaurants in Arlington, VA

“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!“

“Very convenient and tasty, owners are very nice and willing to customize sauces, spiciness etc. I got the combo on rice and they basically gave me 2 meals worth in a nice microwaveable container. Cart is open till pretty late and located right outside the metro.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious smash burgers and shakes! Got the classic (as a lettuce wrap) and the jalepeno with oreo milkshake and cheese fries. The fries come unseasoned - but they have a seasoning station to add it yourself - always measure with your heart!
If you want the fries I recommend just getting the regular fries.“

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

“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.“

“It was worth the drive from DC to this VA to eat at Arlington Kabob’s. Not only was the food amazing but whom I believe to be the manager or owner, was exceptional, his customer service was excellent! Will definitely recommend and will be back.“

“My sisters and I tried Rasa for the first time and the food was very tasty, fresh, fast and nicely seasoned. Sadly, the service was very much lacking. We came in and there were 6 people behind the counter, not one person greeted us or acknowledged our presence. They were working on a big to go order at the time, but it seemed like no one was really delegating and attending to people that were actually standing in line. Finally, a guy came over to take our order and as I was asking for what I wanted, he was exasperated from the very beginning. He quickly slopped the food in the bowl, no care at all. When I asked for my sauces on the side, he rolled his eyes and then I asked for pickled onions and he grabbed my bowl and begrudgingly put them on. He did the same with my sisters orders. He was incredibly rude and if you don't want to serve people, don't work in a service job. I did like the food though! Very tasty.“

“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.“

“This place is awesome. The two lady managers are super friendly and very professional. They make the best recommendations and they are stellar at bringing new business in and keeping returning customers satisfied. The food is super tasty. I will tell all my friends about this place.“

“Mejana was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We loved the crispy kibbeh and spring rolls to start, and the tabbouleh was incredibly fresh with the perfect balance of herbs, lemon, and tomatoes. The mixed grill was the highlight—tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, served with fragrant rice and grilled vegetables.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. If you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean cuisine with generous portions and great flavors, Mejana is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be back!“

“Food is good by local standards but I wish they would not call it Kabob. it is KEBAP. Or do not call yourself a Turkish restaurant.“

“Great spot for food in Ballston. I come here for when I want a healthier meal, and want to load up on extra protein. The crew always greets me before making my bowl and the ingredients look fresh. Daniel was working the register when I ordered and helped me with my rewards. Thanks“

“Central & southern Asian food makes me happy. This is some of the best in Virginia. You must come to the buffet to try a few things, and come back with a date for supper. I typically enjoy lamb karahi but also many of the vegetarian options. The owners are very nice.“

“Highly recommend Bostan Uyghur! We started out by ordering the Eggplant Salad as an appetizer. It came out nice and warm fresh from the stove! With its spices and garlicky flavor, it really hit the mark! We then placed orders for the Chicken Kabab and the Dry Fried Soman noodles with beef. Both were spicely complex and absolutely delicious! Have to make another visit soon!“

“This restaurant is worth a visit! I tried the Yalla Lamb bowl and was impressed with the quality of ingredients. The bowl was really filling with delicious flavors. Their fresh juices were also great tasting.

I can’t wait to come back and try their different bowls.“

“Not your typical airport fare! I was in time for breakfast and opted for the Build Your Own Bowl. Fresh, plenty of options. Appreciate the food being served in recyclable containers (forks too). I sat down to eat immediately and the food was lukewarm. Very generous portions. Pleasant staff. Reasonable prices.“

“Awesome customer service and food“

“The best breakfast in town! The food simply delicious. Highly recommend it.“

“Ravi Kabob in Arlington is a great spot for Pakistani food. I tried their gol gappay and they are really good—fresh, flavorful, and addictive. I go there often now, and whenever I’m passing by, gol gappay is a must. The only downside is the price—it’s a bit pricey—but definitely yummy.“
