Ms. HalaMs. Hala: One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in SF and it's HALAL! Check out their 3 flavor chow mien, Mongolian chicken or beef, schezwan chicken and beef with broccoli... all so YUMMY!

E X.E X: There's a sign that says CASH ONLY but they actually take card too.

EaterEater: Cumin lamb, beef pancakes, and a very generous BYOB policy are the keys to its popularity, and while it's not the place to go for health food, it's spicy and reasonably priced. [Eater 38 Member]
