Halal Restaurants near Herndon, VA

“Our dining experience was exceptional from start to finish! The food was completely on point—the mixed meat dish (chicken, kebab, and beef with rice) was extremely tasty, and the appetizer of fries topped with smoked brisket and cheese was hearty and delicious. The cheese burek tasted just like home! A special shout-out to our servers, Majd and Ameer, who were incredibly attentive and made the entire experience out of this world. Highly recommended!“

“We had a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious, and the overall experience was made even better by Ameen, who took excellent care of us. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit.

Ameen clearly deserves a raise for the great service and effort he puts into making guests feel welcome. He really made our dining experience special. Highly recommended!“

“Have enjoyed the delicious dishes for several years. Whenever son from CA and son from TN come to visit they always want to return to Charcoal Kabob again. We miss seeing your family!“

“Nice food , Good customer service but ..... Pricy and 20% Dine In service charges (This needs to be put at Display just like 20% discount has been put for catering services at the door) ... it's on menu card though It isn't really a big deal but one must know before walking in what he / she is going to pay I'll still recommend it if one is craving for the taste of street food in Pakistan“

“The best biryani in this area ❤️“

“Hello everyone! My name is Syed Anwar Hussain, and I'm sharing my experience at the best restaurant in the DC area. Today I went to the Bangladesh Embassy, and after I finished my embassy work, I started searching for a good restaurant in that area. Luckily, GPS found the restaurant. We went with my wife and my son, and we ordered three dishes. First, we ordered two dishes. We tasted the first two dishes; they were very delicious. Then we ordered another one. All three dishes were delicious. I really enjoy the delicious food. I have no words to describe how delicious the food is. I highly recommend this place.“

“First of many times for sure! The chicken is very flavorful I ordered the 2 piece chicken sandwich w/fries and slaw. Everything was very yummy! Only con is one of my pieces was so small that I was eating more bread than chicken. Whereas the other one over filled the bread (I was very pleased with this one) . I highly recommend them! Besides where else can you Purchase a soda for $1.29…“

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

“Addy’s Barbecue never disappoints! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything was cooked perfectly, but what really stood out was the amazing service. The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. You can truly tell they care about their customers and the quality of their food.“

“Can’t wait to return! My husband tried Shah Halal for the first time, ordered the combo platter and really liked. The chicken had the right amount of spiciness, serving was generous and everything was fresh. I have eaten at several locations and my go-tos are the lamb salad and the lamb platter. So tender! I don’t care for spicy foods and the lamb is so flavorful. The staff was super nice, made suggestions, explained their cooking process and exceeded expectations. I learned the basmati rice is cooked in a healthier way in olive oil, different than other locations, and the manager has had professional training as a chef. We will return often to Ashburn as, 35 miles away, it is the closest locale to our home.“

“10/10… I manage Sterling Smoke right next to them and this is absolutely our FAVORITE local spot for lunch and dinner. Shawarma is amazing and we love the new additions as well!!! Will be back, often 😂“

“Some of the most delicious burgers I've ever had! I absolutely love burgers and always on the hunt for a huge, juicy, flavor packed, stacked high burger and this place is amazing. The burgers are super loaded with the meats, cheeses, sauces, and the buns are super soft. Trust me when I tell you these burgers are huge. The cook definitely knows how to churn out delicious burgers. Probably my new favorite burger spot in town. Thank you for such great food! Will be back next week :)“

“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!!!“

“Food quality was exceptional with freshly cooked food and tasty flavors of seasoned chicken and gyro meat. Staff was friendly and provided attentive service and seemed to take pride in their hospitality. Overall, it makes for an enjoyable meal with the quality food and atmosphere at this restaurant.“

“D e l i c i o u s !!

The fries are better than any fast food fries you’ve ever had & the burger will make you wish you had another. Great spot, even greater guys in the kitchen. Do yourself a favor and swing by.“

“I came in lost. Unsure of what I wanted. Starving and clueless, Eldana(I hope I spelt right) kindly guided me to crafting the perfect meal. The manager, Andrea, and her sidekick Siem, created the most welcoming environment. The service was exceptional right when I walked in the door. The food was amazing. Definitely coming back 1000%!!!!!“

“Authentic Chinese in town welcoming staff fast service quantity is good,served hot keep it up guys“

“Best thai in town Fairfax city area“

“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.“

“excellent service highly recomended“

“Great place, overpriced with too many extra charges, besides that, the food is excellent“

“Ever since I started coming to MG Food, their dishes have been a nostalgic journey back to my childhood and the heartwarming flavors of Pakistan. Every bite of their samosas, sandwiches, and golgappe is absolutely delightful, but the true showstopper is their Lahori Shawarma, which is easily top notch. The quality is impeccable, but what truly sets them apart is the exceptional service. The staff treats you with so much warmth, and their dedication to customer happiness is unmatched if you ever give feedback on a dish, they immediately offer an alternative and ensure you leave with a smile.“

“So excited everyone waiting for that“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Mazar Afghan Restaurant in Virginia! The food was amazing—fresh, delicious, and full of authentic Afghan flavor. Everything we tried was excellent, and you can really taste the care and quality in the food.

A special thank you to the young lady who served us. She was incredibly kind, respectful, friendly, and welcoming. Her service made our visit even more enjoyable. Everyone at the restaurant treated us with great respect and made us feel comfortable and welcomed.

It is not easy to find a restaurant where both the food and the customer service are this good. We truly enjoyed our time at Mazar and will definitely come back again with our family.

Highly recommended to anyone who loves authentic Afghan food, warm hospitality, and excellent service. Thank you, Mazar, for a wonderful experience! ❤🇦🇫“

“**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Taste of Pakistan!** Lakshmi Chowk is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Pakistani flavors. From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere and warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The decor beautifully reflects Pakistani culture, adding to the overall dining experience. The food was exceptional! The Karahi was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, just like the ones I’ve had in Lahore. The Biryani was aromatic, with tender meat and perfectly balanced spices. The Nihari was a standout—slow-cooked to perfection and bursting with traditional flavors. And let’s not forget the freshly baked Tandoori Roti, which was soft and complemented every dish beautifully. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and even recommended some hidden gems. If you’re looking for an authentic Pakistani dining experience, Lakshmi Chowk is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu. Highly recommended!“
