8 Halal Restaurants in California You Should Try on Your Next Visit

There is nothing better than a cool road trip and some awesome halal food along the way. The lovely Sumra from Sweet dreamer shares with us her favourite halal food options when travelling to California recently.

If you’re a foodie enthusiast like most of us, and you’d like to stay safe when eating out, then California is the place for unlimited halal eateries that won’t disappoint. We had the pleasure of trying out some great tasting spots in both Northern and Southern Cali on our family trip back in February, and I’d love to share some of them with you…

Falafel Corner – Fremont, CA

What’s not to love about a legit, tasty burger and pizza joint?! This place is just that. It’s a decent sized, family friendly restaurant tucked away in a strip mall, serving up delicious burgers, cheesesteaks, and pizzas. If you’re ever in the Fremont area, this place is a must-have and definitely try the Tex-mex burger! They have a separate prayer area also.

Location: 43450 Grimmer Blvd, Fremont, CA 94538 Opens at 11AM–10PM

Wayback Burgers – Milpitas, CA

Another delicious, greasy burger place that is definitely worth a trip is Wayback Burgers. This place is serving up scrumptious burgers, philly cheesesteaks, and hotdogs with a side of milkshakes and fries. Need a cheat meal? This is the spot. My husband has been here twice on every California trip because once just isn’t enough.

Location: 1547 California Cir, Milpitas, CA 95035 Opens at 10:30AM–10:30PM

Sala Thai II – Fremont, CA

This restaurant serves authentic and delicious Thai dishes and the best part is a fast service. We had visited this place with our family on a busy Saturday night, and it was packed. But the service did not disappoint. The extensive menu includes all the Thai favourites like Thai fish curry, mango chicken and pineapple fried rice. Be sure to leave room for dessert, their fried coconut ice cream is to die for!

Location: 44800 S Grimmer Blvd, Fremont, CA 94538 Opens at 11AM–3PM, 5–9:30PM

Al Watan Restaurant – Hawthorne, CA

If you’re ever in the Los Angeles area and require straight up desi food, then do visit Al Watan restaurant for authentic Pakistani cuisine. Mildly spicy biryani and raita accompanied by fresh, piping hot naan make this place hard to resist. It is family friendly but fairly small in size and very simple.

Location: 13619 S Inglewood Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250 Opens at 11AM–9:30PM

Sultan Baklava – Gaslamp, San Diego, CA

Sultan Baklava is located in a downtown district of San Diego called Gaslamp. It’s a busy, bustling street filled with restaurants and nightlife. This Turkish restaurant serves up dishes like Adana kebab, musakka, and tavuk, but their speciality is their baklava, which has people coming in to buy just that. They have several types of baklava, including their famous chocolate baklava- definitely worth a try.

Location: 770 Fourth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101 Opens at 11:30AM–10:30PM

Aladdin – San Diego, CA

For a nice and quick bite to eat for lunch, Aladdin is a wonderful sandwich and pizza spot. They serve shawarma wraps and entrees as well as speciality pizzas named after the infamous characters of Aladdin. We had ordered take out from here and enjoyed their lamb and chicken shawarma sandwiches.

Location: 1220 Cleveland Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 Opens at 11AM–9PM

Nomad – Long Beach, CA

Okay, seriously this place is so, so good. If you’re looking for a nice, spacious, Chinese restaurant for a lovely family dinner, then please do visit Nomad. The place is huge. And it is serving some of the best tasting Chinese dishes I have ever had. The chicken corn soup is served family style in a large bowl, and so aromatic and comforting. And the orange chicken was finger-licking worthy.

Location: 6563 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach, CA 90803, USA Opens at 11AM–9PM

Istanbul Grill – Fountain Valley, CA

Lastly, Istanbul Grill is serving up classically yummy Turkish specialities like Kofta kabab and iskender, as well Turkish and Apple teas. Their portions are quite hearty and filling. If you’re looking for an authentic Mediterranean restaurant, don’t forget to try this place out.

Location: 18010 Newhope St Suite D, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 Opens at 11AM–9PM

There are a ton more halal eateries in California, and I can’t wait to taste my way through them when I get to visit again. Hopefully, you’ll get to try some of these yummy places! If you have any more suggestions, please do leave a comment below 🙂

Muslims worldwide celebrate Eid al-Fitr in the shadow of Gaza’s misery

Muslims around the world were celebrating the Eid al-Fitr holiday, marking the end of the Islamic holy month with prayers, family reunions, and sweet treats. But the celebrations were overshadowed by the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and Israel’s expected offensive in the city of Rafah despite efforts from its Western allies to halt the fighting after six months of war.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Muslims around the world celebrated the Eid al-Fitr holiday Wednesday, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. But events were overshadowed by the worsening crisis in Gaza and Israel’s expected military offensive in Rafah city after six months of war.

“We should not forget our brothers and sisters in Palestine,” one imam, Abdulrahman Musa, said in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. “They have been subjected to unjustified aggression and a lot of violence (as) the world is watching in silence.”

In a holiday message, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent support to Gaza, which he called a “bleeding wound on the conscience of humanity.”

In Istanbul, some of the thousands of worshipers at the Aya Sofya Mosque carried Palestinian flags and chanted slogans in support of residents of Gaza, where the United Nations warns that more than a million people are at threat of imminent famine and little aid is allowed in.

Inside Gaza, there was little joy. Palestinians in the refugee camp of Jabaliya near Gaza City mourned loved ones among the over 33,000 killed in Israel’s offensive in response to Hamas’s deadly Oct. 7 attack in Israel.

Om Nidal Abu Omeira sat alone among bombed-out buildings and wept on the grave of her mother, son-in-law, and grandson. All were killed in Israel’s offensive.

“They (the children) keep saying, ‘I miss my father, where is he?’ I tell them that he’s in heaven,” she told The Associated Press. “They start crying, and then I start crying with them.”

Elsewhere, people were grateful for the plenty they had after a month of fasting and reflection. Before the holiday, markets around the world teemed with shoppers. Residents poured out of cities to return to villages to celebrate with loved ones.

In Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, nearly three-quarters of the population were traveling for the annual homecoming known locally as “mudik.”

“This is a right moment to reconnect, like recharging energy that has been drained almost a year away from home,” said civil servant Ridho Alfian.

Jakarta’s Istiqlal Grand Mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia, was flooded with devotees. Preachers in their sermons called on people to pray for Muslims in Gaza.

“This is the time for Muslims and non-Muslims to show humanitarian solidarity, because the conflict in Gaza is not a religious war, but a humanitarian problem,” said Jimly Asshiddiqie, who chairs the advisory board of the Indonesian Mosque Council.

In Berlin, worshipers reflected the world, coming from Benin, Ghana, Syria, Afghanistan and Turkey.

“It’s a day where we feel grateful for everything we have here, and think and give to those who are poor, facing war and have to go hungry,” said Azhra Ahmad, a 45-year-old mother of five.

In Pakistan , authorities deployed more than 100,000 police and paramilitary forces to maintain security at mosques and marketplaces.

In Malaysia, ethnic Malay Muslims performed morning prayers at mosques nationwide just weeks after socks printed with the word “Allah” at a convenience store chain sparked a furor. Many found it offensive.

Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim called for unity and reconciliation, saying no groups should be sidelined based on religion or any other reason.

In Russia, worshipers gathered as their leaders vowed loyalty to fellow citizens amid tensions following last month’s attack by an extremist group on a music hall outside Moscow in which 130 people were killed. The Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate claimed responsibility.

“As our country’s president, Vladimir Putin, said, terrorism has neither a nationality nor a religion, the chairman of the Council of Muftis in Russia said. “We call to unite against the threat, against those dark forces.”

Karmini contributed from Jakarta along with Associated Press journalists around the world.
