Abu Omar Halal - Tampa, FL

"First time trying Abu Omar. I was in the mood for a Shawarma and stopped by. I ordered their Beef Shawarma. It was delicious. Everything tasted fresh. The fries were freshly cooked and the sandwich came with extra sauce and pickles. Love the pickles! Nothing to complain about, I’ll be back."

"One of my biggest pet peeves is paying for outside food and it not being up to par, decent or edible. Some of these places have no pride in what they are serving and it shows. I really wanted to love this food after seeing it on social media. First for starts—their online ordering website will make you think that you are in fact getting a BOGO deal on a meal totaling $24 for 2 when in all actuality, the meal itself is only $14 in store—when you purchase 2, it’s 28 and not the $48+ dollars the website claims before applying this “discount”. Ordering from the website doing this bogo saves you about $4-$5. This should have been my first red flag.🚩 Now let’s get to the food. The rice was super dried out that it was inedible. The kofta was also dried out and they charge you $1.50 for the little squirt of sauce that they give you in the condiments container. The food had no flavor and was old and dry. I nearly choked to death trying to swallow the kofta, no lie. I am new to this area and this is the 2nd halal restaurant on this strip that I’ve tried, that has left me feeling ripped off due to the unacceptable quality and taste of their food. I will not patronize again nor will I return. This place was a total waste of money , time and gas. The food went in the trash! There was no pride or love in the preparation of this meal."

"I've bought here multiple times. One time my order was ready immediately not 15 minutes as supposed to. So when I picked up it was barely warm already. Cold by the time I ate. Next order, I paid for a full combo and only got the wrap. Everything else was missing. Its included on the receipt. It was ubered to me, so I cant do anything about it. My child is hungry now, amd my rental car is already returned so I can't go get it. 2/3 experiences were negative. Food is good. Service isn't"
