    Iranian pizza!!

    Kind of wanted to gate-keep this spot tbh... it's fire! Best garlic chicken pizza in the South Bay! Don't sleep on the Iranian pizza either (def try it w the ketchup!)

    Been there several times and every time it was outstanding! The couple that runs is really nice and they remember you. They make you feel like you like you are friends! Food and service are top notch! The restaurant is inviting we never stay and eat there unfortunately we always it to go! This is definitely our go to pizza spot!

    Persian Pizza!

    I liked the Pizza and think its cool they have Persian-style options. The lady at the register was nice and the atmosphere was super casual with Persian music playing. Good place to try if youre in the area.

    E-Roni mixed pizza is a pizza close to the Iranian palate, with a creative and flavorful recipe.

    Second time here and still just as amazing! We came back to Wowmia Pizza for the second time and loved it as usual. The Persian-style pizza was packed with flavor -- crispy crust, generous toppings, and that nostalgic taste we've been craving. We also tried the Persian nachos this time and they were delicious -- super unique and full of bold flavors. Everything was fresh and satisfying. Definitely a must-try spot!

    I don't usually write reviews unless something really catches my eye, either in a very good way or a very bad way. And this place? It caught my eye in the best way possible. I went to pick up pizza from a small, family owned Persian pizza spot in San Jose. It's honestly in a pretty awkward and random location not the kind of place you'd expect to find something this good. But it was absolutely worth the drive. I wasn't even getting the pizza for myself I was surprising my mom. She hasn't had pizza in over 40 years, and she's never tried Persian-style pizza in her life. She left Iran before that was even a thing. I wanted her first experience to be something memorable. And it was. The shop is run by a sweet husband and wife team, and you can tell they really care about their food. They've got three Persian style pizzas on the menu (one is a new release), and I ordered two: one meat and one mortadella. The flavor was amazing. Even after a 20 minute drive, the taste held up perfectly. Hot or cold it was great both ways. My mom loved it. Like really loved it. That reaction alone made the whole thing worth it. The portions are generous one pizza could easily feed two or even three people. The crust, the toppings, the seasoning everything hit just right. It felt like a homemade meal with serious care behind it. This isn't some trendy or flashy spot, and it's not on a main street but it's one of those hidden gems you're glad you found. If you've never had Persian pizza, try it here first. And if you have, you'll instantly taste the difference. I'm already planning to go back for their new one with the special sauc

    E-Roni Pizza
    Ali M.

    ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! One of the best nostalgic Erooni (Iranian/Persian) pizzas I have had in the entire US! Quality and tasty food, very friendly management and host, and clean and neat store with dine in option. We tried the E-Roni pizza but when I was there, a costumer was complimenting their other pizzas as well. Also, we tried the salad bar (it was around $8 for two people which is super reasonable especially for the bay area prices). We also got the wings, which was unbelievably soft and tender. They were smaller in size compared to the big name fried wing stores which I absolutely adore since it is usually an indicator of a more naturally and humanely raised chicken. All in all, we absolutely loved it and I would totally recommend it especially if you are craving some nostalgic Erooni pizza!

    I was addicted to the chicken. Wow Cick. Found the all meat with garlic sauce. Extra garlic that just me liking the garlic sweat. The sausage is amazing Favorite topping. Shared a slice with my neighbor. He said wow. The owners cook a great pizza.

    Great quality food, friendly owners and cute little place. Love the board games too! We always get the chicken mushroom and never disappoint!!

    I ordered the beef steak with rice and my bf order the chicken suqaar with rice. The food took a…read morewhile to come out but when it did arrive, I immediately noticed the generous portions. Both meats were juicy, flavorful, and tender but if I had to pick one it would hands down by the beef steak. One thing to note about the dining experience is that it was uncomfortably hot inside the restaurant. I went on a summer day when it was in the high 80s and the restaurant didn't have AC or a fan... it was a lot warmer inside the restaurant than it was outside. I felt so relieved when I stepped outside.

It did have a lot of sugar, but it was pretty similar flavor-wise to Indian chai (sans milk), so it paired very well with our order. We ordered the chicken suqaar and the beef wrap. We opted for the chapati (sabaayad in Somali) with the chicken suqaar, but would love to try their rice or their version of injera during our next visit! The menu at first glance looks kinda confusing since they have Lunch in big letters on one side with a ton of their dishes and Dinner on the other side with the remainder of the dishes, making it seem like a few items are available during this time... but the Lunch portion just states that it comes with a side of rice, pasta, chapati, or injera (which is the same as Dinner...) so kind of an interesting stylistic choice there, but this is to say that everything on the menu is available the whole time they're open. The meals were so flavorful- the chicken suqaar had a ton of onions, carrots, chicken, green-bean like veggie, and spices, and was served with a green sauce that had kind of a habanero or jalapeno taste to it. The beef wrap was huge and I only ate half of one for dinner- it was flavored so well and the beef was cooked perfectly. This came with a side of the green sauce and a white sauce. I'd love to return and try their injera with chicken, kay kay chicken, beef suqaar or beef steak, and their sambusas! I saw some on another diner's plate and it looked sizable and filling. Jubba is located right next to a VTA light rail and an apartment complex so there's decent foot traffic, but overall, a wonderful place to try and eat!

The portion size was very generous, and the sides were fantastic. The guacamole, sour cream, Spanish rice, and black beans were all fresh, flavorful, and complemented the meal perfectly.

I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.

It's like a cross between a western style bbq joint and a middle eastern twist with its meats and food. Turns out, this place is mainly an Afghan restaurant! It's half eatery half a butcher shop for people to come and purchase fresh meats for some home cooking. In fact, I watched a lot of people coming in and ordering meats to go. I ordered their chili lamb kabob which was tender and juicy. It had lots of flavor from the spices but enough to where it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered it on top of a pillow of rice which was fluffy and buttery textured. It was delicious. There are sauce bottles to pair with the meats which is my favorite part. I really liked their white creamy yogurt sauce mixed with their red house chili sauce. It gave my lamb meat so much flavor and some heat. I loved my order and will definitely order two next time. I also want to try their steaks. They take their time grilling their meats so orders can take a short while. It's worth it for sure. No complaints here but I do wish they played some light music in the background for some ambiance. Things can be real quiet in here so it can be awkward dining in. Other than that, I really like this place and will be back for more.

I took no pictures because I was eating in the car and just dove in, but it was well-wrapped for the journey. I was kicking myself after leaving for not remembering to ask for no onion, only to discover that, thankfully, they didn't put raw onion on it! I was delighted, and this may be the best chicken shawarma I've ever had. The meat was flavorful and plentiful for a small order, and to my utter joy there were strips of pickle tucked in with the meat!

It's better that I didn't, and now I can't wait to go back again and try more things, like the shawarma fries! Parking can be difficult so be prepared to hunt and maybe walk a bit.

The beef and lamb arabi style wrap portion is pretty big. I got seasoned fries for the side and we were given a lot. I'm a big fan of the double fried fries or the so-called psoriasis fries. There was a good balance of crispy and mushy fries. Tastes really good with the toum and the tahini sauce. The wrap is a bit dry but the flavors are still good. I think I do prefer the chicken over the beef/lamb mainly for the tahini sauce. The service is kind of just ok. I didn't know you were supposed to grab the sides from the fridge and they didn't tell me until I had to go back and ask. The whole interaction just felt a bit awkward but I'm sure they were also just tired. The place could be a bit tidier and cleaner. There's also no public restroom for those wondering but they have hand sanitizer stations set up which is nice. Parking is not too difficult but I haven't been when it's peak hours.
