Highly recommend giving Abu Omar Shawarma a try if you're in the area! read more

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

Food is delicious and the service is excellent. Restaurant and restroom were very clean. Staff was very attentive and kind.

The food here is so fresh and delicious! The chicken shawarma is their specialty and definitely one of the best I've ever had! When you want something lighter, the salad bowl with chicken Shawarma is so good! The salad is fresh with chickpeas, olives, corn, and jalapeños. I got half rice and rice is tasty too! 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

The chicken shawarma and beef kafta kabob wraps are my favorites here. Both are really good and always hit the spot. I also really appreciate how accommodating they are. They don't make substitutions or special requests difficult, and they actually try to work with you instead of making everything an extra charge. read more

It was an awesome experience. The shawarma was awesome. The fries were excellent and not too salty. The workers are nice. 100% recommended read more

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 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

One of the workers had sincerely issued me a very authentic apology on behalf of my last visit and said they thouroughly read my review and would never want any of their customers to feel this way. It made me feel better that they heard me out and we settled it there out of respect. Happy to say Abu Omar took care of me today at the OC MENA festival. This place has really good shawarma, the line is long for a reason, longest line at the festival is at Abu Omar's, and it's not chance, it's fate. It's important to show support to our Arab businesses and community as it's more than abu Omar , it's a team of hard working men putting in 110% effort to make the best shawarma for their customers. They tolerate the heat and the smoke from the flames to give us the best tasting meat and that should be acknowledged and I respect that very much. The beef shawarma tasted really good really fresh and the taste is unreplicable they put their pride on the line to give their customers the most flavorful succulent tasting shawarma, the tahini and spicy dips were my favorite condiments! Safe to say I will be visiting their restaurant in the near future, Also fyi I broke my diet because I could not resist their shawarma, very temptating you cannot walk past Abu Omar's without wanting to stop for a bite, the energy and atmosphere of the people and the food say it all, the people come for Abu Omar! Thank you guys for making it a really wonderful treat for everyone, I was able to eat my shawarma combo box while watching Mohammed Assaf sing his iconic Palestine song, thank you Abu Omar for contributing and making it a really good moment to be an Arab in Southern California ! 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

For some reason, Houston gets all the good shawarma places, but Abu Omar has expanded all the way here, so lucky us...and on top of that, pretty close to me. I was actually a bit afraid at first since some reviews say that the portion sizes are small, but it seemed to be fair to be honest. Anyways, the Double Shawarma Arabi here is great, but you have to get it with the pickle, onion and tomato. Also highly recommended with the Shrak bread. 5/5. I probably want to try the Italian style next, as that is the version I had received from Gemuse in Houston, although the portion seems to be half the size here. But beggars can't be choosers in SoCal. It seems like Abu Omar and Doner G are the most authentic places if you want shawarma / doner around SoCal in my opinion. I was chasing what I had at Gemuse in Houston and landed on these two. As a side note, parking kind of sucks 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

1: open late 2: delicious, fresh food 3: excellent value for the money 4: friendly staff 5: the taste of nutritious food that is impossible to fake I bought two rice bowls with kabob and an order of hummus. Each bowl is easily two meals. I will have a difficult time convincing myself to go to In-N-Out when Abu Omar is closer and open just as late. I am truly impressed. This was a treat for my wife as a reward for doing something difficult, and she was very happy with what the gentlemen at Abu Omar prepared for our dinner. Beef and chicken kabob: both excellent. I recommend this local shop for people who love fresh, tasty, and healthy food. 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

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

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'm a first timer here & it was delish!!!! Highly recommend very flavorful !! We got the mix combo and the chicken shawarma wrap

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

The food was so delicious. The service was also very welcoming. We will definitely be coming back.

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

I have never ever tried such a delicious shawarma as this place ! The original taste of shawarma with the best service

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

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
