    Beef Shawarma Plate
    cristina p.

    I discovered Halal King Kitchen through The Richmond Standard and was very excited to check them out. This place was stuck in my bookmarks list for quite awhile. I decided to order it for lunch one day through Door Dash and I've been back about 5 times now! I told my bf about it and it became his new favorite place! I've tried the beef shawarma plate, chicken mendi, and chicken wrap; while my boyfriend tried the chicken shawarma plate. It was all amazing!!! They even come with garlic sauce and spicy sauce, which are really good! The chicken wrap is super long and about the size of my bf's forearm! Everything we've had so far has been delicious and the portions are really filling. Their hummus also tastes very fresh; I love it! I tried to order their chicken mendi before, but it was sold out and wasn't available at the time I wanted to pick up. I guess it's only available at certain times throughout the day? I finally tried it a few days ago and it was so moist and tender; it fell off the bone! The owners are super friendly and they even give complimentary tea! Halal King is truly a hidden gem and I hope more people find out about it!

    The place is take out only at a gas station off the Carlson exit on 80. We've wanted to try it forever, so today was the day. Two items were especially good... the chicken mendi plate which had chicken falling off the bone tender that tasted amazing. And the chicken wrap... the fries inside was a nice touch. The chicken schwarma was good, but the other items were better. Good value, large portions and delish food. What more can you ask for? Definitely will be back!

    Great food. Fast, friendly service. Amazing chutney. Free hot sweet tea. They said 15 mins, it closer to 5 for our order to be ready. Excited to work through the menu.

    Ok it's a restaurant in a gas station, don't let that fool you!!! All their food is so good!!! Chicken mendi is perfectly cooked, moist and flavorful and not dry at all the beef shawarma is so damn good!! And all the sides like the salad and hummus is so good highly recommend this place. HABIBI!!!!! Oh and they give you hot sweet tea while you wait

    Amazing chicken rice and salad, after I already ate half!

    I have been eyeing this place for a while so headed over for lunch while passing by. I ordered the chicken mendi with rice and salad- no bread because I can't eat gluten. I used Google Translate to help me get that part right. The owner and employee were super nice and friendly and we got it figured out. The food was so, so good. The chicken was insanely tender and flavorful and it came with an amazing garlic sauce and a spicey green sauce. I wish I took a picture before but I couldn't resist digging in. Picture I posted is after I ate half!! I will be back to support these guys for sure. Amazing food!

    Chicken shawarma is besos

    The way I inhaled my Yemeni shawarma plate y'all. Heard about Halal King Kitchen from all their great Yelp and Goog reviews, and since our gov is relentlessly bombing and targeting our Yemeni homies and sailors, the least I can do is support our Bay Area Yemeni peeps. Yes the rumors are true, they're a order-at-the-window more so takeout spot vs dine in. They have one small picnic table if you want to eat there. The sweet man at the cashier gave me complimentary sweet black tea. Yemen don't play with their tea and coffees, and although I prefer my teas less sweet. I sipped that honey-infused sucker like it was oxygen. The rice was so flavorful. And the chicken *Chefs kiss* The naan is on the thinner side but so soft and honestly I wish I bought an extra piece so I could scoop every bit of the deliciousness in my takeout box. Comes with a lil salad on the side too. Would HIGHLY recommend you stop by this spot and maybe fill up on some gas since they're on the same lot as the gas station. Super close off the freeway if you're coming up from Oaktown or Berkeley. Sweet guys and even more sweet tea. Thanks Halal King habibis.

    Can't eat more than this and that's 2/3 left of the order.

    I wanted fried chicken and stopped across the street to Krunchy Chicken but they wouldn't sell me the piece I wanted so I stopped at Halal King to pick up dinner. Thank you Krynchy., this place is terrific and I never would've known. They are a window in a gas station building and don't let that dissuade you. The food is excellent. I don't know what halal is and could google it but I don't care what it is if this food is representative of its rules. I bought the shawarma plate. I ate 1/2 and will enjoy the rest for breakfast. It's a bit spicy for me (just a bit.) My daughter says my ability to handle spice is "White Girl Zero so take that into account. Price is more than fair with the order filling a compartment take out box. My 340 pound grandson would consider it a snack but for a shrinking grandfather it's enormous.

    Really good halal food in the area! The service is quick and friendly, and they stay open pretty late which is super convenient.

    Im a bit picky with food so I rarely eat anywhere twice. This was my 2nd time here. Casual spot for take out. attached to a gas station. Order at a window outside. I don't remember the name of the dish but it was wonderful. Hummus was also delish. Will be back for sure. complimentary tea is a must try. I'm not a tea person but I loved it.

    Hot black tea is amazing
    Nathan P.

    Came to Halal King--right next to KKC--just to drop off some clothing recycle in the bin. But I stopped for a falafel wrap, too. While I wait, he gave me a black tea for free and it's hella good. AND THIS falafel is as long as my forearm! If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

    Chicken wrap
    Toiya A.

    This place came highly recommended by the owner of the liquor store by my house so I came once and got the falafel wrap which was huge. It came with garlic sauce and some type of spicy sauce and they gave out complementary tea. Make sure you get that because it was delicious. The second time I got the chicken wrap and the chicken with seasoning so well you can tell they put a lot of love in their food. The guy that helped me his name was Ahmed He was such a kind man. He put my food together and make sure that I had all the sauces. I'll definitely be back to try their food and to visit with them. The parking is kind of crazy because it's in a gas station but still pull up!!

    Chicken Shawarma Plate on left and Beef Shawarma Plate on right - both are yummy!

    Why does Richmond have the best gas station food?! I found this spot while scrolling on Yelp. The photos looked good, we were craving shawarma, so we called in an order. We were surprised when we arrived that it was at a gas station. We were excited though because we love Krispy Krunchy Chicken on 23rd St, which is also at a Richmond gas station. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate and I ordered the Beef Shawarma Plate. Both dishes really hit the spot for us. The Good: - Portions were great for the price. We both finished our plates but were very full after - Rice was so flavorful and tasty - Salad was refreshing - Some of the best hummus I've had - Both sauces are so good, although I have to get double garlic sauce next time. One is simply not enough! The Slightly Less Good: - We both agreed the meat was a little overcooked, but the flavor made up for it. And it wasn't dry, but could be a tiny bit more moist. The beef shawarma mix was so fragrant though, and you could taste all the flavor profiles it was trying to hit. Very great mix. The Bad: - Not that bad, but parking can be a little tough when it's busy. There's only so many parking spots at gas stations. All in all, we really loved it and we'll be back again! I'd be interested in trying some other menu items next time as well! And double garlic sauce!

    Falafel plate
    Christine L.

    First of all, they are SO KIND here. Albeit the wait was a tad long, but they were very sweet and gave me a cup of their traditional sweet tea to drink while I waited. There also isn't a falafel plate, but they were nicely accommodated my request! The falafels were SO BIG?! I will admit my partner was a little disappointed in the little amount of meat he got. But but, we both freaking loved the rice. It was really well flavored and the two of us could've probably just ate a bowl of their rice on its own. I would love to come by and try their breakfast too!

We were having dinner with a friend that eats Halal food and Bismillah popped up on Yelpas a good option. Being the uncultured person I am, the only reference to Bismillah that I knew of was from Bohemian Rapsody, so I had Queen running around in my head for the week leading up to this dinner. We walk in on a Friday night, the lights are off, there are no customers, and an older gentleman greets us at the register. It's not the most welcoming environment, but we are hungry, so we order our food and grab a window side table lit by the setting sun. Two modifications to our order - they ran out of mango lassi , and when I asked for Raita, the gentleman recommended the chutney instead. Also, no tap water, but you can buy bottled water. Turns out the guy behind the counter is the chef and waiter as well. We ordered Chicken Tandoori (leg), Lamb Biryani, Palak Paneer, Chicken Karahi, and Chicken Tikka Masala for our entrees. My favorites: Chicken Tandoori - nice char, flavorful and tender Chicken Karahi - kind of like a hearty chicken stew Onion kulcha and Roghni (sesame) naan - the garlic naan was actually a bit disappointing (on the dry side). So when we ordered more naan, we tried the other varieties and liked them better. Pricing was very reasonable.

    My friends and I ordered a cheese pizza from Q'S Halal Pizza with lamb along with an order of…read morewings, and the food was not enjoyable. The pizza was rolled very thin, but there was almost zero rise in the crust at all: the crust was dense and not airy. If I were to guess, the pizza dough had probably been sitting out for far too long, leading to the dough being way over-proofed. The cubes of lamb topping the pizza had a strange sourness to it and were incredibly dry. Similarly, the wings were also overcooked and very dry, and didn't really have much flavor to them at all. At $33.99 for an X-Large pizza (before tax and tip), you might as well head over to June's pizza in West Oakland to get a pizza for the same price. This was seriously one of the most disappointing pizza's I've eaten in all of 2025.

The name Q intrigued me--hopefully it's not associated with that other Q..... They have mediterranean food. So I guess they put some that on top of the pizza and YUMMM!!!

You kinda just gotta go and check it out. Limited seating. Free parking on the street. Close to freeway. Easy walk to lots of other shops and services. Super friendly service. If you eat specially prepared food like halal for Muslim or other reasons, but you love pizza, this place is for you. He said all the meet is hand cut. I didn't check out the bathroom. I'll go back. It's already like my second favorite pizza around. Too bad they don't have gluten free GF for my wife allergic to gluten.

    To reiterate a quote printed on the complimentary paper napkins, ".. the chicken is on point ... I…read morecould eat it everyday ... " It's great, the food is really delicious. I ordered a 4-piece Krunch Box with jumbo tenders, mashed potatoes with gravy and a biscuit on the side. They even have their own branding of sauces, which were equally good. The portions were generous and I was satisfied after finishing just half of my order, saving the rest for a later time. I am a small person, with slightly less of an appetite than most others, but I went home with two meals from this order and it all amounted to about $12.61. The only thing making this meal less than perfect is too much gravy that ended up drowning the mashed potatoes, but this is only a personal preference. The next time I return, I'd be interested to try the jambalaya or mac & cheese sides, as well! I'd highly recommend this place to anyone, and even bring some visiting family members to this spot the next time they come around. The service is fast and straightforward. And I appreciate that it's located within the gas station, where you have many options for additional beverages or snacks on the way out. It's really a great spot, worth returning to many times over.

The staff was polite and helpful, the cashier providing guidance on menu options to us 1st timers. We ordered and paid for 2 "chicken fajita-type" plates. The orders come with salsa and a tiny bag of store-bought tortilla chips. (The cashier told me they would bring the food to our table, because we never would have heard them calling order #s from where we were seated.) This place seems well frequented by locals (it was lunchtime on a weekday). So, we waited a while for our order, so long that we decided we wanted to take it to go instead. However, when I went up to ask them to pack our food to go instead, one of our orders was in the pick up window. Turns out, they had been calling our order # AND they only made 1 plate, not the 2 we ordered and paid for. The helper was apologetic and quickly refunded the $ for the 2nd plate that never came. I packed the 1 order to go, and off we went. Although we won't go here again, fortunately for us, the food was decent, and the 1 order was enough for 2 people.
