    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!

    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.

    Chicken wrap

    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 is besos
    Jodi H.

    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.

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

    Chicken wrap

    Got the chicken wrap! 10/10 and they have great service. The wrap came with two sauces!

    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.

    I wanted to try this place and I'm glad I did. I ordered the burger and the chicken Mendel plate. The burger was so scrumptious and flavorful, it's a smashed patty with a nice slightly burnt crust for flavor, the bun was soft not soggy at all, burger overall 10/10 and not sloppy. The chicken Mendel plate oh my goodness it's very big generous portion for a reasonable price. The chicken was so tender fall off the bone and the rice is excellent. I ordered off of DoorDash and the food arrived still piping hot. Very happy I gave this place a try. Will be ordering again in the future

    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 Shawarma Plate on left and Beef Shawarma Plate on right - both are yummy!
    Annabelle H.

    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!

    Chicken Mendi
    Matt W.

    Waiting around for my friend in front of Halal King kitchen one of the gentlemen inside offered me a hot cup of their amazing sweet tea. What a nice gesture. It was like he was welcoming me into his home. Halal King has been on my radar for some time. How can you not like the idea of Yemen influenced chicken shawarma place next to a gas station! My Chicken Shawarma came with a huge portion of rice, a colorfully salad with red onions, home made hummus and a huge flatbread. Ohh and the yogurt with garlic sauce on the side was super good. My friend ordered Chicken Mendi which was cooked perfectly. Matt says while you are making that trip to the Richmond Costco drop by this little gem and make friends with Halal King Kitchen. You will be glad you did.

    Mandi

    Honestly, the folks working at the restaurant are super nice and respectful, you can tell they really put their heart into what they do. The food is seriously delicious and stands out from other places, especially the mandi - everyone at home loves it, from the kids to the adults. Even when we have guests over, they always ask where the food's from 'cause it leaves such a special taste Thank you

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.

It was all made to order, crispy, juicy and delicious. And they gave us plenty of tartar sauce and malt vinegar without us even having to ask! I highly recommend this spot. And the restaurant interior is very cool and kitschy!

At 1st glance it looks pretty much the same... munch, and yep, very familiar Cod, very crispy outside, soft, white, tender inside. Prawns were nice size, about 2 bites per; mushrooms also crisp/tender. All atop some fries... and these were the only discernable difference, these were fries, not traditional pub style english "chips" as before - ok, but not as sturdy as chips which are typically stubby and thicker, and somehow stay crispy. Not a deal breaker though... the quality of the Cod & Prawns is most important and still shines through. da Service: Greeted warmly, nice lady, 15 min wait, packed in open cardboard tray so things stay crispy, you get a container each of malt, tartar & the cocktail/horseradish sauce (yummy, I use all 3 in every bite!). 5 Stars for quality; it's a bit pricey, but when it comes to seafood, don't skimp. Old school hole inda wall feel, with friendly service. You can't eat this too often, it's a cheat meal... but when you get the craving, this hits the spot, so come get it.

Favorites include the sum woo sen (clear bean thread noodle salad) and the stir-fried eggplant, but honestly, there are so many standout dishes that it's hard to narrow it down. Beyond the food, what really makes this restaurant special is the people behind it. The owner is incredibly friendly, humble, and clearly works nonstop day and night to make sure everything is just right. His wife, the chef, consistently turns out flavorful, thoughtful dishes that you can tell are made with care and pride. They're also very clean and did I say friendly? They make you feel like family or a friend. I also work for a company that regularly orders from here, and we're far from the only ones. Large companies like Chevron, Bio-Rad, Kaiser, and many others frequently order as well. Even more impressive, although the restaurant is located in Richmond, companies in Daly City and other cities 20+ miles away go out of their way to order from here. That alone says a lot. This is a small, lovely Thai restaurant that is truly doing its thing by earning loyal customers, making waves well beyond its neighborhood, and absolutely deserving of the praise it gets. Highly recommended. David and wife, you guys rock! The food, service and friendliness totally satisfies every single time.
