We have ordered twice from here and it has been excellent! Service is second to none. I have always tipped extra due to the distance and it has always been excellent! Highly recommended! read more

I found this place in hunt for a good Shawarma. Luckily, this food truck did not disappoint. The flavors presented here will for sure have me coming back for more. Very tasty and options to make it spicy. They also have great deals on group orders! read more

I was walking by and decided to stop by and check out the menu to maybe come back another day. I had just eaten so I wasn't very hungry in the moment. One of the staff members in the window asked if we needed help and we said we were just looking. He then handed us some baklava free of charge to try. Super sweet! I can't wait to return and try their menu out. The baklava was absolutely delicious. Perfect dessert to end our previous meal we had. read more

Wrap is so chewy and raw. Fries were also somehow raw potatoes but also soggy and wet? Don't know how you can manage to mess up potatoes and bread so badly. It took absolutely forever even though it was slow. read more

the wrap that they use is sooo chewy its basically inedible. my fries were also all hard and cold :( but i like the garlic sauce its yummy. i was also the only person there and the food took forever read more

I called to ask about a lost item, multiple times, they picked up and heard me questioning about the lost item and then hung up immediately. I called again and told him I want to place an order and he was immediately ready to talk and then when I asked about the ourselves, suddenly he said he didn't speak English and would only speak English to take thr order. Then when I asked if there was anyone else I can talk to he said no and hung up. What a ridiculous thing to say and stupid thing to do read more

Extremely rude, would not want to support his business whatsoever. I was calling to make an order for the entire family and he couldn't have the patience for a single question??? read more

F this place: waited 45 minutes for a chicken kebab that was the worst I've had in austin. He had to put the chicken back on the grill cause it wasn't cooked and it got to me dry. Veggies fresh out of a can. All while he kept lying about the time. Yuck. Didn't even finish it read more

The best place in Austin for a Shawerma - especially Syrian/Lebanese style. The have the right bread, that's hard to find here. Get the extra pickles, it's worth it. I probably eat here twice a week. read more

Incredible food. Great quantity and amazing service. This place has been a classic of mine for almost 7 years now. Pro tip: get sriracha fries with white sauce. I wish it were still a menu staple but their loaded fries are incredible. read more

Great experience! Ordered the falafel Arabi and it was good and the portions were large! Will definitely be back again!

took absolutely forever, even though there was no line. literally we were the only people there and it took 20+ min to get our food. and the workers acted genuinely clueless... they screamed at us when the food was finally ready. it was bizarre. as for the food... pretty mid. would've been impressed if it had taken 5 min, but considering it took so damn long, it was mediocre at best. read more

Great service from the person at the front register! Was Very friendly and kind to my family! read more

This place is definitely not still closed, but damn is it bad. My fiancé took me here because she remembered when it first opened around 5 years ago and how good the quality was, so since we were in the area we figured why not. Even before arriving I knew things weren't looking good when the food truck park is being advertised specifically for "late night" food for presumably nearly black-out college students who wouldn't remember what they ate the next day, but we still pressed on. Behind both the servers there were 4 rotisserie racks, all empty except for 1 which had around 1/8th of dry chicken on it at the veryyyyy bottom. This was weird to me since they must have recently opened or at least had time to begin prepping the various other beef/chicken shawarma dishes... Yet that's all that was visible. I ordered a beef shawarma dish with fries, except to my surprise when it was served it was chicken. And yes; that extremely dry chicken. The dish itself was just crinkle fries and that dry chicken shawarma and the portions were super minimal for the price of $15 a plate (!!!) Just don't go here. read more

Decent halal cart but super surprised and disappointed when I came home and there wasn't any red sauce! I've never asked for it extra at any halal cart as it's always included so I was pretty bummed out when I came home and discovered it missing. read more

The Gyros are okay, but these guys are crooks. Not only are they over priced, they won't even give you what you paid for. I ordered a Gyro with fries (two for one) and they deliberately excluded the fries. I ordered via Uber eats, and they didn't even start the order until I arrived. Clearly, they are banking on people not picking up their orders, to line their pockets. However, for those of us, who do pickup, don't expect to get what you paid for. Plainly, they are criminals. Do not order from here. There are better Gyros, for less, from fair dealers. read more

Great Food. Fast service. Delicious food. You'll be happy you stopped by to eat. Tell them Splash sent you.

Abo Ommar is a new addition to the UT Campus next to Don. Not a bad food truck and their prices are pretty reasonable. The meat quality is quite decent and I really dig their fries (super fresh and some good seasoning on them). If you get the meat plate (5.50) it's on the smaller side so I would get some side as well. The sauce was dope and the rice/meat are tasty. read more

Very nice people and very yummy food!! I always get the falafel over rice and a side of fries. The guy today threw in some baklava too. They're great for a late night meal read more

I gave them a 3 cause I might try some of their gyro or chicken shawarma next time... Anyway...Was really excited to try this place cause I always feel like these food trucks can be gems! Lol I got the falafel sandwich. Which was grilled in what seemed like a wrap tortilla or something, not flat bread. The falafel itself seemed ok, nice crunchy texture. But overall it was pretty bland, I couldn't taste the difference between the pickles, tomatoes or cucumber inside.... ‍ Best thing about it was the "tzaziki" served on the side that had no visible cucumber and tasted more like a bland ranch dressing. DEFINITELY NOT authentic... but not terrible. read more

best Arab food in Austin coming from a middle eastern woman I love the pickles and the chicken sandwich

Definitely recommend their chicken shawarma arabi ask for extra sauce and it's *chefs kiss*. Try them out!

I've passed by this place a ton of times, but I decided today I just wanted a light lunch, so I'd grab something from this food truck. Must say that the ordering process is nice in the sense that the entire menu has a picture, but also very annoying that the price isn't listed anywhere. I decided on a chicken shwarma wrap and it definitely didn't look like any shwarma I've ever had. If anything, it looked like a grilled stuffed burrito from a popular fast food chain, just more oblong. The wrap itself is literally packed to the brim with meat - lots and lots of chicken but a tad bit dry. They have some kind of white sauce with a sour tang in it but I personally didn't like the flavor profile of the sauce. Some random bits of peppers too that I wish were a bit more prevalent to change up the flavor. So ya - nothing too special, but could be serviceable in a pinch - at the least its open late. read more

!!BEST SHAWARMA YOULL EVER EAT!! YOU WONT REGRET THIS. Friendly faces, awesome food, great campus! You can eat great shawarmas, shawarma plates, falafel, etc. and it's WALKING DISTANCE from campus. I try something new every time I go ...so good. read more

Delicious food and fast friendly service love it ! I got the falafel rice plate and it's super convenient that they're open so late as well. Def recommend read more

Food [4/5] - This is a pretty solid halal food truck with some fairly unique dishes. I almost always opt for the Zinger Arabi, which is a shwarma with some sort of fried (I think) chicken inside and sides of fries and pickled veggies. The white sauce that comes with the shwarmas is delicious as well. Service [2/5] - Personally, I love this place but the main thing holding it back is the time it takes to prepare the food. I won't even bother going without phoning my order in, and their "15 minute" wait time extends to 25-30 minutes most of the time. I've come to expect it, but for someone who doesn't, it makes for a poor service experience. Value [3/5] - The dishes aren't the biggest or the cheapest (see Halal Guys a few doors down), but the meals do satisfy with their greasy, food truck-y goodness. read more

Call me lee syatt but Jesus Christ this is the worst Mediterranean food I've ever tasted. Probably up there with the worst food too. The beef shawarma was straight up mush. Not even being a Karen but for 16 dollars why are they serving mush with a pathetic salad. Jesus Christ this was just so beyond awful I'd never recommend. read more

Been here a few times, really good gyros! Also pretty quick, and they're always been nice to me. Solid truck imo

When I got there, I looked at the menu and was about to order a Chicken Shawarma. Prices were not displayed hence I asked how much it cost to make it a combo with fries, the staff said $11.99. Taken aback but hungry, I ordered one. The taste of the meal was above average but not worth the price at all. Especially when I received it, I asked if the combo came with a drink and was told no. The lack of transparency in pricing and straight price gouging should keep anyone away from that truck, even as a last recourse. read more

Truly bummed about this experience. Ordered on Uber Eats. 30 min delivery time turned into an hour and 10 mins. The food had one request/modification and it wasn't delivered. The service was terrible. read more

The food was delicious, quick, and plenty. Definitely one of the BEST shawarma we've ever had. Adrian, the attendant was calm, cool, and collected as an influx of people arrived. He also explained to us the difference in types of food. 10/10 would recommend as a must. Chicken Shawarma Arabi read more

Ive been here couple times and although my experience with them has been positive and negative but i will say since Sam start working here this place is definitely five start and if i could put ten i would. The Italian shawerma is great, zinger is awesome and he always cook it fresh. The customer service is great and I highly recommend this place and highly recommend to ask for Sam. Thanks Sam for turning abu omar halal for great experience! read more

Went today to get a chicken with rice and he wasn't open by 12 PM so I got the chicken schwarma. The guy added his own tip and had me sign it. I stopped for a moment knowing the dinky chicken schwarma wasn't $10. The guy added his own tip. read more

I've been coming here for a couple years since they're about a buck cheaper and a block closer than Halal bros. This year, the prices have been raised, the food quality has decreased, I haven't seen them making fresh shawarma on the roller grills in the back like they used to, and worst of all, instead of the red sauce that they used to use, and that every other shawarma place uses, they gave me sriracha. Also just an FYI to the owner, the link you post in your replies is not clickable, and yelp does not allow us to copy the link. read more
