Abu Omar Halal

First time in this part of Houston and found it after reading reviews. It is outstanding food at very reasonable price and it was enough for two if not extremely hungry. We ordered platters that came with fries and pickled vegetables. It was freshly prepared and was yummy. Unfortunately they have only two tables outside so best for take out. Chef was friendly and very interesting person. Menu is limited which means everything they make is the best of their menu and they have perfected it.

I flew in from Milwaukee, WI, for a work event and came here for the Lamb Gyro Salad Bowl. Fantastic food served quickly. At their outdoor tables, there was a photo shoot going on with lots of foot traffic. It seemed like a nice spot for a quick bite.

The quality of food and price is A1. Can’t beat it. Hard to get a good shawarma here in Houston but this place has it. Also, the service is the best, Abdulrahman always treats me with respect and is quick! Great establishment overall.

I recently ordered takeout and I was really impressed with the experience! The ordering process was easy, and the staff were friendly when I picked up my food. The Brazilian guy, Ricardo is super welcoming :) I tried the sandwich with fries and it was absolutely delicious—packed with flavor and still hot and fresh when I got home. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was packed carefully, so nothing spilled or got soggy. It’s clear they put a lot of care into making sure the food travels well while maintaining its quality. If you’re in the mood for a quick, tasty meal with top-notch flavor, I highly recommend for takeout. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon!

This place is amazing—so delicious! The shawarma is so, so good. I’m from New York, and I truly wish we had Abu Omar in New York City. The staff is incredibly friendly, especially Ricardo—he’s so welcoming and kind. The meat is fresh and halal, which is the most important thing for me. Highly recommend!
