My husband and I ordered two arabi meals – a beef and chicken. The shawarma was easily just as good as shawarma I have had in the middle east. The fries and pickles were also so good! I really enjoyed everything and will absolutely be back again!

First time trying Abu Omar. I was in the mood for a Shawarma and stopped by. I ordered their Beef Shawarma. It was delicious. Everything tasted fresh. The fries were freshly cooked and the sandwich came with extra sauce and pickles. Love the pickles! Nothing to complain about, I’ll be back.

One of my biggest pet peeves is paying for outside food and it not being up to par, decent or edible. Some of these places have no pride in what they are serving and it shows. I really wanted to love this food after seeing it on social media. First for starts—their online ordering website will make you think that you are in fact getting a BOGO deal on a meal totaling $24 for 2 when in all actuality, the meal itself is only $14 in store—when you purchase 2, it’s 28 and not the $48+ dollars the website claims before applying this “discount”. Ordering from the website doing this bogo saves you about $4-$5. This should have been my first red flag.
Now let’s get to the food. The rice was super dried out that it was inedible. The kofta was also dried out and they charge you $1.50 for the little squirt of sauce that they give you in the condiments container. The food had no flavor and was old and dry. I nearly choked to death trying to swallow the kofta, no lie. I am new to this area and this is the 2nd halal restaurant on this strip that I’ve tried, that has left me feeling ripped off due to the unacceptable quality and taste of their food.
I will not patronize again nor will I return. This place was a total waste of money , time and gas. The food went in the trash!
There was no pride or love in the preparation of this meal.

The food is 10 out of 10. I have had the shawarma combo and yesterday tried the shawarma quesadilla and it was amazing. I also tried their falafel and kibbeh and it’s better than the Spanish Quipe, wala. The service is always very welcoming. And the atmosphere is lively. Love that they offer Palestine Soda it’s so good. And the baklava is so good. Just choose anything and I promise you it’s all so scrumptious.

I always order the shawarma bites from here, they’re absolutely delicious and incredibly tender, especially the beef ones! The flavor is always on point, and the meat is perfectly cooked every time. I usually place my order with Khalid, who’s always friendly, attentive, and makes sure everything is just right. Excellent food and even better service, highly recommend

I’ve bought here multiple times. One time my order was ready immediately not 15 minutes as supposed to. So when I picked up it was barely warm already. Cold by the time I ate. Next order, I paid for a full combo and only got the wrap. Everything else was missing. Its included on the receipt. It was ubered to me, so I cant do anything about it. My child is hungry now, amd my rental car is already returned so I can’t go get it. 2/3 experiences were negative. Food is good. Service isn’t

Absolutely the best shawarma restaurant in town. I tried different places but none of them beats Abu Omar. They also offer fresh juice, amazing grape leaves and tasty savory pies. I totally recommend.
