Abu Omar Halal - Arlington, TX

Had an amazing experience here, we ordered the chicken zinger arba, chicken shawarma, and the beef shawarma salad. Everything was absolutely delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy, the meat was flavorful and juicy, and you can really taste the freshness in every bite. The portions were generous and very satisfying The baklava we had for dessert was fresh, soft, perfectly sweet, and flaky pastry and rich nutty filling. It tasted homemade and not overly sugary, imho just perfectly balanced The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better, there’s plenty of seating, a great variety of drink options, and it definitely seems like a popular spot (there were constantly people coming in and out the whole time we were there) Overall, great food, great service, and a great atmosphere, we’ll definitely be coming back Would highly recommend if you’re craving quality halal shawarma and Mediterranean flavors!

The food had good flavor, but unfortunately I didn’t feel well afterward and ended up having to go to the bathroom twice. The service also left a lot to be desired—the cashier and cook both seemed to have an attitude, especially the young man at the register. We dined in, but there were quite a few fruit flies around our table and food, which made the experience uncomfortable. On top of that, the kabobs were burnt, which was really disappointing. For a $65 meal, I expected much better. The food made me feel so bad that I didn’t even want to finish it because I was worried about feeling sick again. Overall, it was a very disappointing visit despite the decent flavor of the food.

Shame that this place is in the middle of nowhere. I ordered the chicken kebab rice bowl, the beef gyro rice bowl, and a rice pudding to go. It did take them maybe about 15 minutes or so to make my chicken I’m guessing because they have to make it fresh (and it came out great). Presentation wise food looked great. The chicken kebab had char marks on it and tasted great. The rice was good. The salad that it comes with was a good palate cleanser. The garlic sauce was so good, made the dish taste even better. The beef gyro was very tender and moist. The beef plate also came with rice, garlic sauce, and a salad. The rice pudding was bland with a hint of vanilla, good overall but maybe it would benefit from some cinnamon or something. We also ended up getting a baklava to go! It was a nice dessert to all the food we got. Overall I really liked this place and their Arabic fast food concept. It’s similar to Halal Bros or Halal Guys. They’re just out of the way. If you live nearby UTA it may not be too bad of a drive. They’re also open late too which is unique.

We arrived in Dallas Texas for a work trip and the team needed a spot to come to and fuel back up. We stumbled upon Abu Omar since we wanted some Halal food. We were greeted so warmly and even though it was so late, they got the music back on and allowed us to eat and enjoy the comfort the atmosphere brings after our long day. Let me not forget to add, it was about 6 of us and each one of us walked out satisfied and full off of the Family Meal and an order of the rice bowl. 5 men 1 woman and we were good to go. Baklava 10/10 almost as good as my aunties. THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO GO HERE it is delicious.

I found myself at Abu Omar Halal to pick up two door dash orders this past week. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. It smelled amazing in there. While, I waited on my order to be prepared I mentioned how wonderful the food smelled and the staff offered me a sample. The food was AMAZING! Definitely will be returning as a customer. I give it a 10 out of 10.

This was my first time trying shawarma and it was a fantastic experience overall! The staff were very friendly and excited for me to be experiencing their culture for the first time. I would definitely recommend eating here and of course, ending your night with some baklava.

Every Saturday after church, I come here with my family, and we always have a great experience. The place is always very clean, which we really appreciate. I see the manager Ali and the worker Khalid working so hard every time we visit. They make the food nice, hot, and fresh, and they are always polite and friendly when talking to customers. They treat me and my family very well, which makes us want to keep coming back. The owner of this store should truly bless and appreciate these two workers for their hard work and dedication.

This place has been great for a while but not anymore! It’s the third time that i order something and they don’t get my order right even IF I REPEAT 10 times and they AGREED to that! I ordered chicken shawarma they made it beef , i said NO ONIONS they put onions, i ordered rice bowl with chicken and NO ONIONS they made it with onions! I don’t know what is going on here hut definitely seems like someone else took this place and ITS GOING DOWN FAST , not coming here anymore to spend a dollar. This is NOT HALAL ANYMORE.

UMMM HELLO!!! Beautiful presentation. Hefty packaging. Utensils included. Nothing forgotten. Perfectly seasoned. I wasn't expecting it to be this good!!! There's rice on the bottom too. I can be a picky eater this is just right for me.

I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and chicken shawarma over rice bowl via Uber Eats. This was by far the best I've had with everything so fresh and seasoned well! Will definitely be ordering again.

Conveniently located off of Division Orders to go online are through pickup DoorDash or UberEats. I'm unsure but other reviews say that the pricing in restaurant = cheaper than what's online. So opt to order inside. $28 two meals. One meal without fries. Fries are expensive $5 to add. Ordered the mixed chicken/beef quesadilla style shawarma. $15.50 online. It's BIGGG. She said she liked the beef better and it was okay. It came with fries. I believe what I got was the Fried Zinger Chicken Wrap. $10.75 online. It did not come with fries. I wanted to like it but the chicken was so hard. I had to bite on the side of my mouth. My front two teeth couldn't handle some of it. Flavor wise it was okay, but it was toooooo hard. If I would've had braces in, the bracket wouldn't have made it. It was done QUICKLY though. I may retry another item. Lamb quesadillas maybe.

Food 7/10 Cleanliness minus 4/10 Customer service minus 10/10 Been there 5 times and always been the same BAD customer service. Cashier/cook did not even say hello even I spoke Arabic with him.

Really good! They frequently do BOGO options on UberEats so stay on the lookout for that! Their chicken shawarma over rice is so good and I'll do a BOGO option on Ubereats so I can take one to work for lunch the next day. It reheats really well! Their lamb gyro wrap has become a must order anytime I get anything from here because it's so tasty. I always get food from here for delivery so I can't comment on service, except that my order is always correct. This has become my family's no 1 place to order from when we're in the mood for middle eastern food.

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: I had no idea there was multiple locations across the US! They are well known for their phenomenal Arab food provided in a fast casual setting. THE VIBE: very casual place! It lowkey reminded me of subway the way the inside looked maybe it was an old subway. PRICE: ~$12 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 10/10 - another great recommendation from @papreechaat ! I wanted a quick and fulfilling lunch and decided to stop by here and was not disappointed. - I ordered from the app because for first time customers you get a discount! When I went it seemed like they were busy with to-go orders they actually didn't make my order in time but the guy working made sure my food was hot and fresh and it still came out great! - The lamb gyro was juicy and flavorful. There's no nasty game-y taste you can get from goat/lamb. The sauce inside of the wrap was perfectly portioned and wasn't soggy at all. Everything was perfect. The fries were piping hot and crispy! Their garlic sauce is amazing. I will say the spicy tahini sauce is alright! - Definitely check this out. I'm coming back to try their chicken arabi for sure!

Took the shawarma chicken wrap as takeout from bogo. Quite good portion. Was satisfied with the taste and service.

Oooh, a new go-to spot for delivery! I have not been here in person but their to-go meals are prettily plated and packaged, plus well insulated. It arrives hot hot hot! I recommend the "over rice" meals; my favorite being the shawarma or falafel or kebobs. I last ordered the grilled chicken kebobs: 5 good-sized cubes of grilled chicken over Vermicelli or yellow rice, served with a side salad of diced tomatoes and onions, yellow corn, jalapeños, chickpeas, and black olives. Served with garlic sauce. It's all really delicious -- the rice is well seasoned and fluffy, the chicken is moist and has that fiery grill taste, the salad produce is all crisp and fresh, and the garlic sauce is something you'll wish you got more of. They also have wraps, gyros, stuffed grape leaves, fries, and quesadillas. Fantastic hummus and pita. Fried kibbeh. Fried cauliflower. All kinds of delectable halal goodies. They're known for their chicken shawarma, so get any variation of that if you're not sure where to start.

They wouldn't clean the floor overall 9.1 out of 10 the ambiance is less than roadkill but eh. Service is good they talk to customers food is 7.4 out of 9

Service was great! Food was delicious!!! Love love loved the beef shawarma! The place was clean. They didn't have a few things from online that I wanted but overall I was very happy

The food are super expensive, the restaurant are not clean , 80% of my orders through uber are missing items and sometimes they put a good amount of meat and sometime they barely put anything, I don't recommend people buying from this restaurant.

This place gets better every time I order it. I have reviewed this before. I was not impressed but now I am very impressed. This is my new fav spot for Shawarmas

The chicken shawarma over rice plate portion is super large, and has a combination of meat, veggies, sauce, and rice! It hits all your cravings into one. I love my rice bowls spicy and asked for extra spice, but I didn't get as much red sauce as I would've liked. Other recommendations: Gyro tastes like their specialty. It was tender and flavorful. Highly recommend trying that meat instead. Bonus: I wish I remembered the name of the oily green sauce on the side because it was a unique & delicious addition to my bowl! Price: $9.50 Dine-in and Takeout ‼ Halal, open late night Overall Rating: 8/10 Reason: I was expecting yellow rice, but I got white rice with my bowl. Also, there are a few veggies in there that confused my taste buds a bit, such as cauliflower and corn. Not a bad thing, but if I had more spicy red sauce, I think it'd be an even more enjoyable experience. I will be getting extra spicy red sauce next time!

My kids love the chicken sandwich with "white sauce" and lettuce, they're rice is so buttery in the rice platter. The only thing is be careful when ordering this place from any source other than actually inside the store. They're prices are different on their website, different on Yelp, GrubHub, Uber Eats, DoorDash. They're different everywhere and quite a lot more expensive than if you were to order in the location in Arlington. Ordering inside is SIGNIFICANTLY less pricey, which is weird....... They always also take forever to make your order, even if your the only one whose ordered.

The food is good, but the service is horrible. I walked in with my wife, ordered two beef Arabi shawarma. It took him 20 minutes to make then he gave us two chicken Arabi shawarma. When I told him that's not what we ordered and showed him the receipt, he LIED and said that he told me the beef wasn't ready. When he said that to me I let it go and ate my chicken shawarma. I really don't like chicken but I ate it anyway. He didn't offer us anything to make it better. He didn't try to make anything right. He just lied to my face. We drove 30 minutes to eat here. I speak Arabic so I would know if he said it in arabic or not. Anyway, the place is dirty. Customer service is horrible. I wish they would clean it up and be nice to their customers. Their food is pretty good but it's gross. Everything needs to be mopped and wiped down.

I guess it's okay for 11 bucks for two sandwiches but it wasn't good and I didn't get any yogurt with my food :/ I wouldn't recommend...

I didn't realize this was a chain, going in. There appeared to only be one man working but he is very friendly and working fast. I had a minute to check out the menu and ordered a chicken kabob sandwich. He replied back to me chicken shwarma sandwich. Ok. Maybe they didn't have any chicken kabobs. I like shwarma. It is a wrapped sandwich in a giant tortilla that they stick under a press to crisp up the outside. The chicken was not on a spit, but was precooked and kept in a warming tray. It came with the garlic sauce and pickles. It was hot and makes for a hefty sandwich. He also threw in a baklava in my to go bag. The chicken was hot but a bit dry and had a heavy clove flavor. I really like the pickles and the garlic sauce was tasty. The tortilla has a good crisp to it, but I prefer a softer pita wrap. It has a higher price point than the independent places popping up all over Arlington. My lunch was good, but it didn't rock my socks like some of the other options in the area. One thing they do have going for them, they are open LATE.

Portions are huge and delicious! I got the chicken arabi and Keto wrap. Definitely one of my fav place to get Mediterranean food!

I've tried almost everything on the menu and it is always good. I like the spicy garlic sauce they have. The staff is always nice when I come in. One of the first times I went, they gave my girls a free rice pudding. This is my new fav spot for gyros and rice bowls!

Food was amazing! I loved the diff flavors and taste of the bowl. I got the mixed over rice and my friend the chicken shawarma sandwich. Both tasted great :) Very happy with my order will come again !!

Definitely check it out to see what your taste buds will feel like. Don't go alone if your a girl have your man order your food and Watch how much better service you get. Lmao cultures are cultures but the food always delicious.

Customer service was horrible I will never be back the fact that this place doesn't seem to accepting to people who look like me says a lot and I would have been a great customer thanks and yes I'm black.

Abu Omar just opened a brick and mortar location on Division Street. It's a chain with 16 locations, including numerous food trucks. The interior is spacious with counter service. There were several families dining. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich to go. The service was fast. The sandwich went good with an afternoon beer. At $7.50 for a solo shawarma sandwich they're coming in kinda high in this neighborhood with so many lower-priced Mediterranean locations nearby. But, they stay open really late (the sign on the door noted 2AM closing), which is good seeing that the restaurants around here go dark pretty early. There's been a Subway (yuk!) in this space, and another Mediterranean restaurant that lasted like a month. I'm hoping this restaurant sticks.

Service was horrible. One of the workers was fixing his car outside, cool no big deal. He took my order and went back outside. The other guy started on the meat, other people came in and the other guy was still outside. The other one was cashiering... my food took forever to be made and they made it wrong. I ordered a sandwich not this *pic**

They do buy one get one deals on UberEats. Had the falafel sandwich and it was good but a little dry so I dipped it in the white sauce (possibly tahini) that came with another persons meal and it was so good. I love that they grill both sides of the sandwich though. Only thing that sucked is the food was better the first time we ordered vs the second for some reason but maybe it was late so it wasn't as fresh, idk.

Chicken Shawarma over rice is amazing. The taste is so refreshing over Pizza burgers and fries. This is my new favorite spot

They have very good food , reasonable prices, and friendly service. Their food is delicious, and their portions are generous. I would highly recommend this restaurant and wish them continued success !

We just Uber Eats some - eeeeekkkkk No - it wasn't even good. Wait the Baklava was awesome. Naan - no, flour tortilla...the hummus was repulsive. No. Thank you.

The chicken is black before they cut it and they have fat on top of the skewer of shawarmas I gave him the order and told him I want to make sure the chicken is not cold out of the metal pan so he never made me the sandwich

Solid food and solid service. Really enjoyed the ARABI, Italian Shawarma, and the beef over rice. Also, their garlic sauce and their spicy red sauce is actually really good! If you like good Mediterranean food and sandwiches/wraps, this is the spot for you! Plus their staff is super nice! Abu Omar! So glad you opened one up in Arlington

The chicken shawarma wrap was amazing!! So glad I found this place. Can't wait to order again!

The food is pretty good, however the service leaves something to be desired. Also, the prices on the website and menu are not the prices in store so beware.

I was up pretty late and hungry and usually everything is closed around midnight but I decided to look on Yelp hoping to find something new and I did! They had a food truck out front and in my personal experiences that's always a good sign. I went inside and the gentlemen who helped me was very friendly! My only complaint was not ordering an extra sauce to go with my schwarma, it was delicious regardless but it was definitely the icing on the cake and I finished it quick by dousing it over the first couple bites in my excitement.

Worst service ever they forgot most of our order and food was cold. I would not recommend this restaurant because of their poor service.

I liked the food. The service was good...interesting. This was my first time to have Arab food, but I was mostly familiar with the individual items on the menu. I had beef shawarma Halabi and also a side of falafel. I struggled with the meal options, and I still don't think I could explain them. There are lots of fries. You can get beef or chicken shawarma, gyro, or fried chicken in 1 of 10 meal options. They also have kabobs over rice and falafel in several preparations. Hummus, salad, cauliflower, fries, grape leaves, and more come as sides. They also have baklava. They also have a selection of sauces. It's counter service. My beef shawarma was good. The fries were fine. I'm not a fan. I knew that. The falafel was great! When someone saw I didn't care for the sauce, he offered me tahina and also a banana. They were good too. I also took food to go/grape leaves, kibbe balls, and baklava. They were out of hummus today. I think there are 5 staff. They all spoke to me and were friendly. I'd come back. I'd probably order all sides.

Ordered delivery and it was kinda a crap shoot. The lamb kabobs where dry and not well seasoned with tiny portion for the cost. - also no sauce with it which made the whole dish drier. Grape leaves where pretty standard, falafel was ok but a bit dry and had no sauce with it. Meat dumplings and quesadilla combo where good.

The best chicken shawarma sandwich! Order it with extra pickles and extra garlic and youre in for a treat!

Fries are average and hummus consistency was runny but they make a great GYRO don't forget garlic sauce!! The customer service is 2 thumbs up!

The gyro sandwich, cut up arabi style was so good. I'd make it spicy next time but otherwise it was amazing- the meat was tender and the sandwich was super flavorful! The cashier was very kind and patient as well even though the place was busy. 5/5

The chicken shawarma arabi was delicious. Fries were fresh and seasoned well. Loved the sauce it came with. Staff was friendly and patient and the restaurant was very clean, even the restrooms.

The food is INCREDIBLE. Seriously amazing. Can not recommend highly enough. I have not been this satisfied with a meal in a long time and the portions are so generous I have enough leftovers for another meal. If you haven't been, go!

Location 0/5 (unsafe, low lighting), food 3/5, service 3/5 (a rare smile from an over worked crew), Cleanliness 2/5 (covid19 is a rumor here), money to value 0/5. The place is busy as a result of heavy marketing but the prices are not competitive at all. Good luck in your "getting rich fast journey"!

First time trying this place........and let just say I have no words........ First walking in seems like a very clean well managed establishment. The cashier who's an older guy took my order. I ordered 2 Sandwiches (Lamb & Chicken) 1 lamb over rice, 1 chicken over rice, 1 beef over rice 'with extra white sauce'. He repeated the whole order back to me correctly. After taking my order I proceeded to wait 15 mins for my food. When I got my order I realized only 1 sandwich was in the bag. I go back inside the store to retrieve the sandwich I thought I bought coming to find out he didn't even ring it up or charge me for it...I decided that I wasn't going to wait another 5-10 mins for another sandwich so I leave. This is where it gets worse... I take out all the bowls and inspect them. Chicken and rice bowl looked fine. I opened the beef over rice and he fooled me with the tortilla over the plate. I thought there would be more meat under the tortilla but I was fooled!!! LITERALLY 4 small pieces of beef on a heap of rice! It looked so unpleasant with the burnt tomato and burnt onion that was thrown on there. I immediately called the store with my complaints and they were no help. I couldn't get a refund, couldn't speak to manager. Just sad situation overall because I was looking forward to trying this place but I'll continue to go to Halaal Guys or Princes Lebanese !!! Also something else that turned me off about the food was that they put so much pickles and olives in everything. I couldn't enjoy my sandwich with all the sloppy long pickles falling out. I did not enjoy this place and I regret spending my money here.

It was our first time trying this place out, we ordered through Uber. I will not be a repeat customer, and I would not recommend to a friend. We ordered 2 chicken shawarmas, and instead we got this big hamburger looking bun thing with chicken and cheese. If you've ever had a chicken shawarma before then you already know that it doesn't come with cheese. It was gross and not what we were expecting. On top of that, my sister is allergic to sesame seeds so she couldn't even attempt to enjoy her meal. Chicken shawarma is not usually made with tahini (sesame paste), nor does it come on a bun. It was the grossest thing I've tried ever. Not happy with the fact that you took something so good (shawarma) and made it so bad. I've looked up their menu and they have something called an "Italian," I guess that's what they sent us instead of what we ordered. Super gross. Would not recommend.

Perfect Shawarma Sandwich. The garlic sauce was right on. I had the Arabi-Chicken Shawarma and was completely satisfied with the flavors, truly authentic. I watched them preparing the quesadilla and can't wait to go try it! I did find it a little pricey compared to similar restaurants and the portion size but you get what you pay for and quality over quantity with this place.

Love it the food and delicious the guy upfront offer me samples .nice guy ‍ def coming back soon

horrible place disrespectful staff . Do not go got food poisoning.

Guy on the counter taking orders was very rude food was cold never will come here again very unprofessional and rude

Loved it! Great flavors and friendly staff. A bit expensive for the area but well worth it!
