It seems like a father and son combo behind the counter so thankfully I came in at a slow time, otherwise the food might have taken longer. Ambiance is nice, very bright and vibrant with clean and colorful interior with traditional Arabi music playing overhead. Got a chicken shawarma with saj bread (a dollar more at $10 for it instead of $9 pita) a side of hummus (which came with a warmed up pita in tin foil and presented nicely with the usual olive oil and paprika) and man. While the shawarma only had the meat, pickles, and garlic sauce, it was probably one of the best shawarma I've had in the area. Hummus was delicious as well. Hoping to order from here more often!

I'm adding a second review because I come here a lot. I've seen it pick up a lot of business and…read moreI'm happy for them because they deserve the business. It's in an office park type area and so I feel like timeliness is definitely a part of the critique. I came at 11:30 on a Wednesday, I was the first customer and was still not able to make it back to work within my 30 minutes for lunch. The guy ringing me up couldn't get the order right and it was simple: chicken shwarma arabi, side of baba ghanouj. If they were faster this place would do so much better.

We were in the area checking out homes and the wife found this place on Yelp. It's a very modest…read morerestaurant in terms of ambience and size, but it is clean. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. We love Middle Eastern food so we were quite pleased that this restaurant exists in the middle of the Texas countryside. I am sure that the people of Murphy and Lucas do not consider themselves as country dwellers, but coming from Dallas, it is countryside. Not saying that is good or bad, just an observation. Anyway, the restaurant. We started with a side of hummus and it was very good. I like a bit less tahini and more garlic, but I am not complaining about this hummus. It came with pita bread. I wish it had been warm. I ordered the shish taouk (cubed chicken breast) and it was excellent. Chicken was tender and very flavorful. It came with rice, some pickles, and an olive dip that I never saw before but it was good too. The wife had the beef shawarma and it also was very flavorful. Beef was tender and good quality. Her's also came with rice. Both of our dishes were excellent and we both would order again. Service was very friendly. It's a family owned restaurant and you can tell that they really care. It was not terrible busy on a Saturday night so I hope they are successful. If I lived in Murphy or Lucas I would be here once a week for sure.

So good. The service was excellent. The cashier knew everything about the food and helped us tremendously. The prices were about normal for this food.

The same lady brought our food to me and made sure everything was correct. She was very nice and friendly. My French fries were delicious and crispy!

Flavor, Freshness & Full-On Satisfaction at Abu Omar Halal - Dallas…read more Shawarma cravings? Fully. Satisfied. I've tried Abu Omar Halal in Orlando and now at two different Texas locations, including this one in Dallas--and the consistency is seriously impressive. No matter where I go, the flavor hits every single time. What We Ordered: * Arabic-Style Shawarma Wrap - Tender, juicy meat with just the right amount of seasoning. Wrapped tight and no soggy mess. * Falafel - Crispy, golden outside with a light, herby interior. Freshly made and full of flavor. * Loaded Fries with Beef Shawarma - A must-share (or not, no judgment). Crunchy fries loaded with shawarma, garlic sauce, and just enough kick. * Family Shawarma Plate with Fries - Big portions, great variety, and perfect for a hungry group. Note on Service Time: Was the service fast? Not exactly. But here's the thing--it's clearly made fresh to order, and you can taste the difference. Everything came out hot, seasoned well, and never felt rushed or reheated. Highlights: * Consistently great across multiple cities * Clean setup and friendly staff * Ideal for late-night bites, group meals, or serious shawarma lovers Bottom line: worth the wait. If you're in Dallas and looking for real-deal shawarma that delivers every time, Abu Omar Halal is it. I'll be back--and probably ordering extra garlic sauce next time.

The restaurant inside was thoughtfully decorated and the gentleman at the counter was very polite and offered exceptional service. He answered a couple of our questions regarding their menu which made it easier to make a decision. When I say this food packed such a major flavor punch, this is an understatement! Everyone there when considering which wrapped sandwich to get should absolutely get the Saj. It's thin and crispy and contents inside were reminiscent of delicious middle eastern street food but still offered something new! My mixed meat bowl came with three toppings. I chose feta (which was the real deal feta, not some crappy dried out American feta) along with both pickles and pickled turnips. The vinaigrette the salad was tossed in was acidic and bright and made me miss eating a salad. The meat when mixed together with their tahini and garlic sauce was exactly what I needed. Can't wait to come back and try more! Yall should too!
