Halaloglu

Wow this place surprised me! Excellent Turkish food, owner is super nice. Highly recommended!

I ordered the beef bowl, and it was delicious! My husband ate the beef wrap, and also really well prepared, the beef is well seasoned! The white sauce is so good! The serving is generous, and the customer service is beyond words! I also recommend the tahine and baklava. *my pic is half of the beef bowl.. yes, really generous serving!

The quality of the food was fantastic. I go to Turkey all the time so this was spot on. I talked to the owner he could tell he was very passionate about food. The prices are same as Chipotle so very affordable and real food. And I was in and out in 15 and it's with a large order for five people to go

Absolutely amazing Turkish spot! The food was bursting with flavor everything tasted fresh, authentic, and perfectly seasoned. On top of that, the service was so warm and welcoming. You can really feel the care the owner Amir put into every detail. Can’t wait to come back!

Walked over here while I was charging my Tesla. I got the beef and lamb bowl and it was delicious! The people were kind and the service was great! Didn’t have to wait very long for my food. I would come here again and would recommend this place to my friends.

Halaloglu is an absolute gem! The Adana wrap was packed with incredible flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The beef sandwich was just as amazing—fresh, juicy, and made with the highest quality ingredients. And the rice pudding? Easily the best I’ve had outside of Turkey—so creamy, rich, and utterly delicious! Beyond the food, the service was exceptional. The lady who served us was the kindest person, and her warm smile truly brightened my day, especially after a long and tiring trip. Her hospitality made the experience even more special. If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Turkish food with a welcoming atmosphere, Halaloglu is the place to go. Can’t wait to come back!

Great hole-in-the-wall place to get authentic, freshly made Turkish food. The food is not heavy, but nutritionally diverse, and satisfying - it's a great alternative to McDonald's or Costco food after visiting Costco or Costco Gas.

Very authentic flavors. I’ve been to Türkiye and the Adana kebab was amazing. They gave us free lentil soup to sample and it was delicious, exactly like my mom’s. People are very nice and inside is very clean and relaxing atmosphere.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Halaloglu is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Turkish cuisine! The Beef Wrap and Chicken Wrap were packed with flavor—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped in the freshest bread. The Eggplant with Rice was a standout dish, with its rich, smoky flavor paired with perfectly cooked rice. And the Kofte Kebab? Absolutely incredible—tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. The staff was warm and welcoming, ensuring the experience was just as great as the food. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a hearty meal. If you’re looking for high-quality Turkish food with exceptional service, Halaloglu is the place to go. I can’t wait to return and try more from their amazing menu!

This place is legitimately one of the best Turkish spots I’ve been too! All the food was fantastic and authentic! As a Turkish guy I can tell you this place has real Turkish flavor! For sure get yourself some soup and save room for dessert! Also the people there were so nice I could tell that this place is well liked by all and you will also love it!

I had an amazing dining experience at Halalglu Turkish Restaurant in Costa Mesa. Not only is the food authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor, but the staff is truly incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The team was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect. Every dish was cooked to perfection. The spices and fresh ingredients brought out the best in every bite. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making it a great spot for any occasion. As a halal restaurant, it’s also a top choice for those looking for delicious and quality halal options. I highly recommend Halalglu to anyone in Costa Mesa looking for outstanding Turkish cuisine and impeccable service. I’ll definitely be returning!

One of the best lentil soup I had in a long time. Their burger especially the chicken bowl was really yum. Do visit if you are looking for halal options in the neighbourhood. Also do try the Turkish soda.. I loved the apple one!

Incredible Turkish food! Authentic flavors, generous portions, and super friendly service. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Halal Oglu, and it was an outstanding experience! The Turkish cuisine was authentic and delicious. The food was flavorful and perfectly balanced, and the künefe was simply the best I’ve ever had. On top of that, the owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. If you’re craving genuine Turkish food, Halal Oglu is the place to go!

This place is truly the best Turkish food I’ve ever had—it genuinely made me reminisce about the taste of food in Turkey. The owner was extremely kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The food was absolutely to die for, especially the künefe and çiğ köfte, and everything paired perfectly with their amazing Turkish coffee. I highly recommend this place—it’s a true hidden gem for anyone who loves great food.

You HAVE to try the chicken yufka. Phenomenal. Get a tatuni salad on the side, you will want to add more to the yufka it's delicious. The hot sauce isn't that spicy, but the flavor elevates the yufka so well. I wasn't even that hungry when I came in and I demolished my plate. The owner is so sweet, please give this shop a visit.

Just left and had to write this review. Excellent service and outstanding food! the owner gave us samples of the chicken soup which was so nice of him and the soup was awesome! The ribeye steak was shaved perfectly for the wrap and the beef/lamb baguette was also delicious. whatever garlic hot sauce combo they have slaps. Don’t skip on the hummus either. it came with this amazing sesame bread too. SO. GOOD. Go here, you won’t regret it.

Ordered Istanbul burger. The taste was good. It was somewhat high in fat. Fries were cut in big sizes. Staff were super friendly. The interior design is okay. The food is priced reasonably. Recommend visiting this restaurant if you are looking for a Mediterranean cuisine.

The owner is really friendly. I saw that they sold kunefe, so I came to try it. It cost $20 for a personal one, but he gave me a discount. He kept it warm for me while I shopped at Costco. He told me all the ingredients are from Turkey, but maybe the trip took too long, because the cheese was sour. It was also a bit burnt. He gave me free tea, but it was pretty diluted. There’s no AC on a hot summer day.

Let me begin by saying, I can’t fully judge how good the rest of the food is. And I really wanted this food to be good, as I love Turkish food. However, I can only judge based on my first experience and what I had. I got the chicken leg lunch special. The chicken was flavorless and tasted kind of old. You can tell it was just reheated. That to me is pretty unacceptable. I ended up just throwing away 90% of the meal. I hate wasting food, but I just couldn’t finish. If it was fresh, recommend something else to me. I know their somewhat new, so hopefully they do better next time.
