Abu Omar Halal – Anaheim, CA

We came here on purpose, as acquaintances praised this place very much. But it turned out to be not so happy. Of everything we bought, we liked only the fries. Shawarma is really dry, the meat is tasteless. And the wrap itself is ridiculously sized. There is a great shawarma a few miles away.

Wow. I blindly ordered from this place on postmates because they had the bogo deal and honestly it was the best decision ever!!! I got the gyro + chicken shwarma wraps with fries. SO GOOD. I asked for sauce on the side because I didn’t want it to arrive soggy & they gave me the sauce on the side and also inside the wrap but not too much where it will be soggy. I appreciate it.

Abu Omar runs a great shawarma joint! Idk Omar but I assure, that boy be eating GOOD! The shawarma is well seasoned, cut to the right size, and is loaded into the wrap. The beef/lamb options are great, but you’re interested in something different, they got an Italian style one with different bread and cheese. Their fires are also fire and the felafels hit! The name is great bc you know it’s Zabihatarian friendly! The one thing to note is the space is a bit small so seats fill up quickly and it can get a bit noisy too. So if you got a bigger party, keep that in mind.

I was visiting Anaheim and wanted Halal place to eat. Food was really good and nice person at the front,

Despite ordering late, everything tasted fresh and delicious. I love the extra pickled veggies and I will make sure to buy extra garlic sauce next time. I had the chicken shawarma plate but I was really curious about the grape leaves and hummus so I got those too. Definitely recommend the grape leaves stuffed with herbs and rice. There’s so much flavor and the sauce makes it even better. Thanks for the food!
