Great place to get shawarmas late at night or during the day! Good and friendly service! I highly recommend! Their shawarmas were super flavorful, good tasting sauce, loved the bread, and of course the spice and aromatics! The box is a convenient touch too. I’d come back!

I visited the restaurant, and the experience was excellent in every way. The atmosphere was comfortable and well-organized, the service was fast, and the staff were polite and professional. The food was delicious, with clear attention to quality and flavor, and every dish was better than the one before. I would like to especially mention the staff member Albaraa — his attitude was very friendly and welcoming. He was kind, efficient, and quick in service, and he truly deserves appreciation for his great customer care. Overall, the restaurant is outstanding and well worth a visit. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys trying new and unique places. I will definitely be visiting again 👌🍽️

Worst food, I ordered 3 items. All 3 items were wrong and veggies in rice bowl were rotten and smell bad. Instead of chicken shawarma they send lamb. Which I don't eat. No proper customer responsibility they sending the food to customers.

Always like being in this area of the city seems like there’s so many family owned ethnic restaurants. We just popped into Abu Omar to grab a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised by the rice bowl. Service was friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back and try the Shawarma.❤️
