Halal House is one of Northridge’s newest eateries. It’s only been open a little over a month, but it’s already become a hit spot for college students on a budget looking for a variety of flavors.

The menu includes foods from many different parts of the world. They combined the original Greek concept with sauces that come from India and Pakistan, Afghan-style rice made with various spices, and food from all over the Middle East. You can even order US-inspired Crispy chicken sandwiches and House burgers.

Owner Omar Kabir says, “there are less than 10 halal options in the San Fernando Valley. A restaurant being certified Halal assures me that animals are treated ethically and humanely. Being someone that follows a Halal diet, I’m excited to provide popular options to people like me who either miss or struggle to find popular foods that are halal in the area. I’m excited to see all of the young minds coming up with different and creative ideas, and believe that Northridge will soon cement itself as a Mecca of the foodie movement in LA.”

One of Halal House’s best features is the option to build your own plate with a number of delicious choices. Each order is made according to the customers’ liking with different proteins, toppings and other delicious sauces.

“The build your own plate allows everyone to bring out their inner artist and create their own masterpiece,” says Omar.

Having family members who are CSUN Alumni and staff, Halal House is open to supporting and collaborating with all student organizations with their initiatives. They are passionate about providing a sense of community and feel that food is the best way to bring people together. Make sure you bring your appetite and get a taste of home on the go!
