If you're into the halal food scene, this place is a must try. Especially in Glendora, I was so happy to find some halal food out here for the family. Definitely check out their Instagram and mobile app for discounts. Got a really good deal on their family platter. Their menu says the family platter is for 4 or more. For us, it fed 5 for dinner perfectly. read more

Frequent flyer at Abu Omar's back to file a report on the brand new, just-in-time for the New Year entree that adorns their menu like a medallion- Their wickedly good, new Brisket Shawarma Wrap. Disclosure: I've enjoyed Mediterranean cuisine ever since I attended elementary school on the UCLA campus in the early '80s and would get after-school Falafels or Shawarma wraps at the eponymous Falafel King in Westwood Village. Suitably armed with 40-pls yrs of dining experience amid the vast Syrian/Lebanese diaspora, what's a common complaint that grouchy naysayers may wanna level at Mediterranean fare? "Ohh, but all they serve are chicken/beef shawarma, falafel balls and lamb gyros! Not enough varieties of protein!!" [I've fielded this complaint from my grown kids for a few years now] Well- Leave it to your enterprising and innovative Uncle Omar to solve that complaint!!! These new brisket wraps are a wondrous hybrid of Mediterranean housing (the flaky but firm Shrek wrap) and All American (B-R-I-S-K-E-T!!) filling. The caliber of the brisket is top notch. Pull apart tendrils of low and slow cooked beef, sumptuously moist but not overly wet. Well seasoned but not deluged in 'cue sauce that obscures the unctuous beefy flavor... Commingle the brisket, lovingly slow cooked for sixteen hours, with diced onions, succulent tomatoes, Persian pickles and their strong-as-a-Rocky-Balboa haymaker garlic sauce...and you've got yourself a crave-worthy, eminently edible new addition to the Family! The ambiance at Abu Omar remains nonpareil. Luminously clean prep area openly visible so the OCDs among us can see their meal lovingly prepared; Sunburnt burgundy brick walls offset by striking Route 66 imagery; Floors so clean you COULD probably get away w/ the "5 second its still edible" rule we usta summon as kids. The service etiquette of Owner Wissam Shloul and his small but devoted staff is exemplary. Great food, meticulously fabricated while you wait. Pro Tip- Need your Mediterranean fix late at night? Fuggetabout "banker's hours," Abu Omar keeps hospital or casino hours! They're open til 1am, nightly. My meal was $19.01 with taxes. read more

I have been wanting to come here for some time now. First I'd say that I like the decor of this place. The staff were very friendly, and I showed a pic of what I wanted and he knew right away what it was. It was a bowl with the ground beef on top of rice along with a salad. It was very good plate that was tasty and filling! I wanna go back and try the other goodies. I recommend it! Take care and see you there! read more

We bought the plate that was supposed to be filled with chicken kabob and another that was supposed to be filled with beef kabob , once we got our meal we started eating but realized that the meal had 70% rice, 20% veggies and 10% meat/chicken. We weren't able to enjoy our meal as much, its like instead of ordering the beef kabob and the chicken kabob plate we bought the rice with veggies plate and a side of chicken and beef kabob. read more

Abu Omar Halal - Glendora - It showed how much the plate full of rice and veggies. The meat was very little as if we asked for a kids meal, not for adults. - Halal Near Me - Glendora, California

I ordered from Abu Omar Halal through a food app. I got the chicken shawarma and added beef and cheese into it. It had a lot of flavor and the cheese definitely added to it. The shrak bread kept everything together well, since it wasn't falling apart with each bite. This was a 4/5 and consider it a solid option. They provided two sauces that tasted great with the shawarma. This is located in a plaza with lots of parking spots. But be prepared as it did get busy at around 6:00 pm. Picking up the order was very straightforward and quick. The store wasn't busy at that time. read more

I ordered the double chicken shawarma, and the portion size was very generous and absolutely worth it. The flavor is truly authentic -- it brought me back to the original shawarma taste and style we grew up with in Jordan. Perfect seasoning, fresh ingredients, and real Middle Eastern shawarma done right. The staff is very kind and welcoming, and the owner is always present, paying close attention to quality and making sure every order has the best possible flavor. A great experience overall, highly recommended! read more

I had Abu Omar Halal bookmarked for a while. It is located at Lone Hill Shopping center. There are ample parking spots at this center. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. It has inviting vibes. They have varieties of Shawarma wraps and sandwiches, over rice bowls, over salad bowls with the choice of protein, family meals value, kabob wraps and meat bowls, kids meals, in addition to many delicious sides. I ordered beef kofta kabob plates to go. The plate included large grilled kofta kabob, generous amount of delicious and fragrant yellow rice, lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, yellow corn, jalapeños, chickpeas, and black olives and garnished with rich garlic sauce on the top. The kofta kabob was very juicy and flavorful. The salad was fresh. The plate was humongous, savory and really delicious. The service was fast. It is a nice place to try. I will definitely go back to try their Shawarma wraps and more. read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Abu Omar Halal. From the moment you walk up, the aroma alone tells you you're in for something special. The brisket shawarma is the star--tender, juicy, and packed with deep, smoky flavor that's perfectly seasoned in every bite. The rice, fresh toppings, and signature sauces bring everything together flawlessly. The fries are crispy and well-seasoned, and the pickles add the perfect tangy crunch. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the service is fast and friendly even when it's busy. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, Abu Omar Halal never disappoints. Easily one of the best halal spots around--highly recommend. read more

Their chicken shawarma wrap is so delicious, crispy on the outside with yummy flavors on the inside. I'm usually not a fan of pickles but these were perfect. The Palestinian sister at the front helped me decide what to get -- she is so kind. I think her nickname is Layla. She made the order quickly, too. read more

Food is good but I'm tired of ordering on the app and having to wait 45 minutes for my food to be ready for pickup. Waited 70 minutes tonight for two bowls. Unacceptable and I will not be coming back. read more

Abu Omar came to the rescue when we got really hungry during a bike ride. Ordered the Ariba which was a crispy wrap of chicken shwarma with a side of fries for $16.99. The crispy wrap was very unique and the sauce and pickle vegetables in the wrap made it super tasty and unique. Also comes with garlic sauce as their motto is: our love language is garlic! It's now my love language too! We scarfed it down so forgot to take a picture of it! We ate outside and liked that we were still able to hear Arabic music playing on their system. Friendly service. If you order through their app, you get 15% off. Definitely worth trying them out! read more

I've ordered from this place a bunch of times on UberEats, and the food is always tasty. The lamb gyro wrap and chicken shawarma over rice are both super good. They usually have nice discounts or BOGO deals too, which is a great bonus. It always delivers on flavor. read more

The food here is amazing! I got the chicken loaded fries, falafel, and baklava. You have to try the spicy garlic sauce with the loaded fries. It adds an extra oomph to it. read more

I loved the mixed gyro here! I got it with lamb and beef. The combo was delicious and instead of a pita bread, they use a thinner wrap. I liked this approach more because it brought out the taste of the meat better. The workers were very nice. It's great that this place opens late for degens like me. They have a restroom inside and some tables inside and outside. There are also kiosks to self-order. read more

I came in yesterday for the first time because my son recommended this place. I ordered the beef shawarma quesadilla with ff for him and for myself I go the chicken bowl which came with rice, beets, garbanzo beans, jalapeños. The chicken was pretty good but the rice was a little dry! I was not very impressed with the food but my son loves his quesadilla!! Maybe next time I will order something different! The place was very clean and the staff was friendly and kind! Parking was easy to find! Food does take a while to prepare so be patient! read more

Can't be mad at a place that uses shrak bread for their wraps. It's so much better in regard to flavor and it gives the right crunch exterior while staying soft and chewy inside. We got the chicken shawarma wrap and the beef Arabi (it's basically a wrap they cut up and it comes with fries). As a Lebanese, this was great but could be even better if they added fries in the wrap (it's a Lebanese thing). I'll definitely be back, especially since it's open late. Big spacious seating inside with self service soda if you get the cup. Come give them a shot, I know they seem to miss the mark with service but there was only one employee working when I came on a Friday night. It's a lot of work to handle on your own and can be stressful. read more

The food was delicious, the service was great and the ambience inside was welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and the kitchen set up so you can meat cooking right in front of you. read more

I ordered a few chicken burritos yesterday and they were so bad. They had 95% rice, corn and some vegetables. A few small pieces of chicken. They charged almost $14 for a rice burrito so called chicken burrito. The taste was also not great. You feel like eating tortilla with rice. I am very dissatisfied and will never go back. read more

I just went in here for a late dinner & was instantly greeted by the employee, Mo. I ordered the chicken bowl & was pleasantly surprised by how full the plate comes. After I ate the chicken, on my bowl, he was nice enough to sell me another bit of chicken & helped me mix it into my bowl. This place is delicious & I will be back! read more

Best shawarma in the area! The staff was so nice and the food was fantastic! I brought my wife here for our date night because she wanted authentic shawarma. The ambiance was so nice outside, we shared Vimto, shawarma wraps and fries while talking about our love and the future. The sweet music of Hussain Al Jassami played gently over speakers as we stared into each other's eyes. She can't wait to come back and I can't wait to take her. Thank you guys for kicking off our date night right. Perfect size portions too, off to take her to a movie now but I highly recommend this place! support the Ummah and come here! read more

It's a shame I have to give a 1 star review because I actually liked the food here. Been here 2 times previously ordered online both times for the bogo. First time I ordered the chicken kabob and when I got to the store to pickup, they didn't even make it because it didn't go through their system. I didn't mind waiting so I asked if they could just make the order. They tell me that they were out of chicken kabob and rice. Great, so I ordered something else no big deal. Second time ordering was smooth, got the food I wanted and really enjoyed it! No problems there would definitely be adding this place to the dinner rotation, I thought. Third time, I placed the online order at 6:22pm then arrive at the store at 6:45 or so. I get to the counter and let the person behind the register know I was picking up an online order. Gave him my name and showed the order confirmation and email and he said it didn't come up in their system. Same excuse as the first time. But he did say that they received email confirmation. Whatever, I'm hungry so I'll just wait in my car for the food. He comes out to tell me that they actually did receive the order but morning shift(???) tried to contact me to tell me they ran out of chicken kabob at 6:23pm. I received NO missed calls from the time I ordered and even double checked that I did indeed provide the correct phone number. This seems to be a frequent occurrence and needs to be addressed on their website or system. For anyone considering ordering online just make sure you call to confirm they've received your order and can actually make it before you arrive. read more

First time here, glad they were open at 11PM! Food was fresh and the portion size are HUGE. I got the Italian sandwich combo with chicken. The chicken was tender and the bread they use was amazing. I will be coming back again read more
