The Shawarma was amazing. The sauce too. Whenever I go to Baton Rouge, I always get their Shawarma.
I tried the chicken shawarma wrap for the very first time here & it was amazing! Mr. Joe the owner was super welcoming & educating on letting me know what I’d be getting exactly, I will be back very soon this is the perfect spot for lunch time it’s quick & convenient!
Amazing service, delicious authentic food... what more can we ask for?! I’m so happy halal food is expanding and even happier that the food was one of the best middle eastern food I‘ve had out here. Jazakallahu khair 2 years later and they finally came back and reopened!!! I am so happy they’re back in BR and serving the best halal food here. Hope they stay in business! Much love from a loyal customer.
Not from BR so don't @ me. I've been to a lot of places here because of work, and when I tell you this is a top 3 in BR.... ITS TOP 3. I had the Italian and an order of kibbe. There was so much food. So much flavor, my regret is not getting a spicier sauce. Will definitely need to make another trip out here to try the rest of the menu. Customer service was great! To the person that took my order and prepped my food, I'm sorry if I disturbed your prayer 🙏🙏. I'll definitely check next time before I start hollering.
The food is awesome Alhamdulillah. The service was quick as well. The garlic sauce is the best. We tried that with lamb shawarma arabi. Fries, pickled vegetables, garlic sauce were served along with that. The portion size was sufficient, for brunch 2 can easily share one meal. The price is good as well. In shaa Allah we’ll definitely visit again.
I pulled up on a late night for the first time not knowing exactly what I wanted. They suggested the chicken shawarma and let me tell you it did not miss. The food was great, as well as the service. I will definitely be back to try more on the menu!
Let me start by saying I am Lebanese. Been in Louisiana for 26 years and I haven't had good Lebanese food anywhere here. But Abu Omar proved me wrong. My daughter is obsessed with their chicken shawarma. And she had the real stuff at home and back in Lebanon when we visit. I tried their falafel today. Hummus and garlic sauce. So good. Please give this small food truck your business better than any lebanese restaurants I have been to in louisiana. You won't regret it.
We’ve probably been coming to Abu Omar Halal for about three months now, and at this point it’s no longer “trying a new place”… it’s a ritual. Their food is consistently delicious—hands down the best Arabic food my wife and I have had so far in Baton Rouge. But let me tell you something: Abu Omar is not just about incredible falafels or a gyro that’s juicy and cooked to absolute perfection. No—Abu Omar is about the hands that cook the food. And that’s where Moe comes into the story. Moe is not the kind of cook you’d expect to see in a food truck or behind a counter—no beer belly, no stained apron, no tired look. This guy is over six feet tall and looks like he was pulled straight out of a UFC championship. Serious face, calm presence… the kind of guy that makes you think, “Yeah, this man could absolutely take me down if he wanted to” 😂 But then you talk to him. And everything changes. Moe is genuinely one of the nicest, most approachable, and most service-oriented people you’ll meet. You can talk to him about anything—food, life, culture—and you’ll never get bored. He even told us one day that he’d invite us over during Ramadan so we could experience real homemade food. That kind of generosity and openness is rare, and it tells you everything about the heart behind this place. So Moe—thank you. Thank you for the care you put into every plate, and thank you especially for saving me every time my wife is stressed. All it takes is one falafel sandwich with extra garlic sauce, and boom—stress gone. She’s instantly happy again 😂 If you’re reading this, do yourself a favor: go visit Abu Omar Halal. Order the food. But more importantly, take a moment to get to know the “UFC champion” behind the grill—the soul of the place. You’ll leave full… in every sense of the word. 🥙❤️
This is the perfect comfort meal that’s fulfilling but not feeling overly full. I got the brisket sandwich and I have ate here prior. Everything they have is so good and they’re so sweet. ❤️
Today, I decided to do a door dash run for a customer. My buddy hooked me up and prepared a complimentary to-go order just for me. This was well-prepared, fresh, and flavorful with every bite. I always wanted to try the Palestine Cola too...He surely didn't disappoint. Please check them out. I didn't have to wait long. Thanks. This encouraged me to continue my hustle and truly made my day! -Weldon B.
