I had a great experience at this restaurant a couple months ago. My mom and I went this week, and I…read morehad their famous Ten Chicken Sandwich. It was pretty huge as always. My mom and I splitted that and the bun kabob double Patties in half so we can try both. The 10 chicken sandwich was undercooked. It was raw. I immediately told the guy and he made me a brand new one and gave my mom and I a free mango lassi. The bun kabob was good, but not the best. After I brought the food home, the burger was cooked. But he gave me the thinnest chicken Patty compared to the ones they usually give (which is pretty big or atleast bigger than the chick fila chicken patty). So I'm a bit disappointed. One the positive side, my husband has never had Bismillah before, so he loved the sandwich and the 10 sauce they use. So we may or may both return. It's up for a debate.

I've been meaning to try this place for some time. Honestly I wanted to try the adana kebab but…read morethey ran out . Overall, I enjoyed my experience here. The service was awesome. Super kind gentleman taking the order.food was fresh and served piping hot just 10 mins after ordering. They also give hefty portions. I liked how you could just park on the side by the uhauls, make a quick deli run (love that gas station deli) or fill up your gas while you wait. Now for the food... Because they did not have the adana kebab I decided to go with lamb platter. It was decent 4/5. Lamb was seasoned well but lacked a certain punch and zest. The rice was very different from what I'm used to from most meat/rice trucks. Very very very orange almost like they added food coloring. The taste was kind of bland. I used the spicy mayo from the feta rolls and added some of their red sauce and it definitely elevated the rice.. I will say that the pickled veggies were super fresh and tasted so good. As for the feta rolls, I thought this was just ok. 3/5. Not much taste. The 2 sauces they give you with it are not appropriate in my opinion. When I got home, I decided to try them with honey. Yes, HONEY! Went from 3/5 to 5/5. Tip to the truck: offer the feta rolls with honey instead. The price was right. I believed I paid less than $15 for all of the food I got. Final grade: B+ Absolutely plan to go back.

Everything tasted fine, just nothing that really stood out or felt memorable. I do not regret trying it and the food was solid, but the burgers were not something I would say are to die for.

I remember when I used to order from here when Abu Omar Halal used to just be a food truck, but it is nice to see that it's now expanded to be a brick and mortar store with seating to eat and wait for orders to take home. I tried the Chicken Shwarma, Beef Shwarma, and Chicken Zinger (fried chicken tenders) Shwarma, and I can say that the Chicken Shwarma is the best choice in my opinion. It pairs very well with the provided garlic sauce, and I love how well seasoned the fries are. The interior is kept clean and organized, and there is a big menu on the wall behind the check-out cashier desk for you to look at before you order with accompanying pictures. The service was helpful with answering any questions. It takes a bit of waiting for the food to come out but they make the food fresh and hot by the time you receive it.

A product of Houston, Abu Omar Halal has blossomed from a popular food truck to a multi-location…read morebrand all across the South and West Coast. My penchant for late night food led me to their Med Center spot, where I impulsively ordered most of their menu. It may have cost me a good chunk of change (#1), but the biggest loser was my expectations. Situated on the corner of Almeda and Hepburn, Abu Omar Halal shares the building with the Exxon gas convenience store. Despite being a fixture in the neighborhood, the signage looks fresh and updated. Just below the sign were a couple of their food trucks, thought they ee new and updated and directly beneath is are a couple of their food trucks that weren't in operation. The format is pretty simple: Choose a protein (chicken / beef shawarma, lamb gyro, chicken zinger (aka fried chicken), or falafel and then choose a meal option where it can be anything from a simple sandwich / quesadilla to something more fast casual like a rice or salad bowl. The arabi is a fan fave, which is a series of meats in roll form that is cut up and accompanied by a bed of fries and a pickled cucumbers. There is a double version which two wraps can be combined in the same box for a cool $23. The hummus ($5), kibbeh ($3), fried cauliflower ($5), fries ($5), grape leaves ($5.25) and falafel ($5.50) round out the sides. However, there a number of red flags. Inattentive staff meant there was a wait despite the place being empty. I ended up standing around for a few minutes (#2) while other late night goers waited in their cars while observing an empty kitchen and a few dirty tables. The meats on the spit were sitting idly while looking really dry and there was no one to maintain the spin. The desserts sat inside of a display case with an incredible amount of condensation from how muggy it was. It didn't look particularly appetizing. Eventually someone came and I was able to order a smattering of many things that included a beef arabi ($14.75), chicken shawarma rice bowl ($14.75), lamb gyro loaded fries ($15), a falafel salad bowl ($14.75), an "Italian" shawarma platter ($17), and a chicken shawarma sandwich ($10.75) with a few sides that included the grape leaves, kibbeh, single side of falafel, and hummus. Most of the food was an abomination. The loaded fries was practically a brick since the cheese was microwaved so hard that separating the (overly dry) fries from the solidified cheese was next to impossible. Instead, I picked it up like a funnel cake at a state fair and took bites out of it as a whole. It was not my best look. The falafel was super dry and didn't seem all that fresh. The salad bowl was extremely underwhelming and the rice bowl was unmemorable, save for extra pourings of the sauce. I suppose the arabi and Italian shawarma were the semi-saving grace, as my group of dining companions enjoyed these the most. The kibbe was solid, despite feeling a bit pricey at basically a $1.50 a bite. I'm glad I finally was able to cross this place off my bookmarks and finally got an opportunity to try this beloved chain. While I don't rule out a future return, I think I'll be looking to give the other locations a shot first. _________ (#1) Just a $120+, NBD.

The beef doner was enormous. It was the size of a large styrofoam takeout box. They use a sesame based bread for this one which paired well with the mound of beef shawarma they put inside. The Gemuse chicken doner was packed full of chicken. I took this one home to have the next day. It was perfect the next day. Both of these came with a garlic sauce and a hot sauce each. The garlic sauce is one of the best I've had. It wasn't overpowering and I found myself trying to get the last drips of it. The only gripe I have is that they give only one per order. The hot sauce was excellent too. It wasn't overly spicy (*cough* all other places should take note), and actually added flavor besides heat. I came back to LA realizing that I'm probably not going to be having this for a while sigh
