Finally, the loooong wait is over. And I don't mean waiting for a Mediterranean food truck in CS, I…read moremeant the wait of having the Shawarma King food truck stationed right in front of your eyes and waiting for all the paperwork before they could open. That was excruciating! Anyway, their menu is short and simple. Two types of Shawarmas (chicken and beef/lamb) and two types of Burritos, at very reasonable prices. The staff is extremely friendly and the best part is, of course, the food. The meat is always juicy fresh and the sauce greatly complements the taste. I am so happy to have two of the best food trucks in town, located so close to my workplace. They are usually busy throughout the day and run out early. So it's better to call in and check before paying a late evening visit. PS: The remaining star is to motivate them to increase their portion a little bit. Such good food should not leave you craving for more due to the portion. (I know I am nitpicking here, and let this in no way discourage you, to try them out.)

The food won't kill you, but it's not shawarma…read more I ordered the zinger sandwich and it was basically fried chicken fingers and processed cheese in a wrap. There wasn't even the slightest hint of middle eastern flavor, it was something you'd get from taco bell or KFC. Horribly disappointed. My partner ordered the lamb platter. The lamb is very processed and no way to tell if it's lamb or well-seasoned tofu. All on a huge bed of rice with basically the toppings you'd get on a whopper. Definitely nothing special, and certainly not worth going back for. I was so looking forward to more actual Middle Eastern food options in College Station, but I guess I'll stick to Shiraz.

i've eaten here sooo many times and here's a comprehensive review:…read more to begin, everything tastes quite fresh and the choice of ingredients for the bowls including the chick peas, jalapeños, and sauce are all excellent. the rice here is good and the chicken tastes great. let's talk price. this place can be quite expensive, especially if you are ordering something like a shawarma. personally, i wouldn't just because the amount you get for the price is quite small. for the rice platters, id say it's also a touch expensive for the size, however, there is a deal occasionally on uber eats where you can buy one get one. uber eats of course charges enough in service fees and delivery to basically charge you the full amount anyway, but if you have uber one or some other deals you could get these on an excellent deal. now, i LOVE my halal food, and there really aren't many options for good halal-cart style halal food in college station and even considering that, i find myself missing abu omar when im away from cstat. but when im here, i usually pass by the cart just because the prices are too high to justify eating regularly. i'd definitely suggest running some deals so atleast on certain days its more accessible for students. with that out of the way, id recommend trying a rice platter from abu omar. the staff is nice, the packaging is nice, and the food comes out decently fast. it tastes great and *if* you enjoy it relatively soon after getting it (i.e. your delivery didn't take a long time to arrive, if ordered) you can typically enjoy it quite warm, which is awesome. personally, ill definitely keep eating and enjoying the food from here and keep wishing there were better recurring deals or prices across the menu. taste: 9.5/10 price: 6.5/10 overall: 8/10! a solid, classic halal food cart option in cstat. one of few choices for great halal food. give them a try, but know it's a bit expensive for a student's meal.

I visited this location on Sunday after church with all of my family, 10 of us in total. We were…read moregreeted with smiles from the staff and the store was so clean that we felt very comfortable dining in the restaurant. There were a variety of offerings which looked appetizing, and fresh. We ordered salad and the signature bowls. My family can be very picky when it comes to spice and portion sizes when we are out to eat but surprisingly everyone was very pleased with every aspect of the food. For a large party we were served quickly with no issues with orders, the servers were attentive to our special requests and everyone was pleased. We will definitely come back after services again. Thank you!

Portions were larger than expected -- my chicken shawarma bowl, which I was thinking would almost be salad-like, really filled me up. Quality was good, but in my view a little sub-par compared with a Cava or some other Mediterranean places -- a little too little focus on the ingredients, which were somewhat overwhelmed by the sauce/spices. Still, pretty good and a worthwhile visit if you're in the mood and in the area.
