Abu Omar Halal - Galleria Area, TX — Restaurant in Houston

I have had the pleasure of visiting Abu Omar Halal food truck multiple times during my visits to my sister's place in Houston, and while I haven't had the opportunity to review it until now, I can share my experiences with you. The food truck offers a mix of good and bad experiences, but overall, it has become a regular stop for us.

Firstly, it's worth noting that there is no seating arrangement near the food truck, so we usually opt for takeout and enjoy our meal at home. As vegetarians, our go-to order is the Falafel Arabi with fries and garlic sauce, which happens to be my all-time favorite. The combination of crispy falafel, flavorful fries, and the tangy garlic sauce is simply mouthwatering. However, it's worth mentioning that they charge an additional 75 cents for extra sauce, which can be a bit off-putting.

While the menu has a variety of options for non-vegetarians, I can only speak to the vegetarian offerings. The Falafel platter and Falafel Arabi have always been delightful, with a perfect balance of flavors and generous portions.

On one occasion, they mistakenly served us a lamb Arabi instead of our original order. Luckily, we discovered the error before consuming it, and they promptly replaced it with the correct dish. It was the only time they made a mistake, as our orders have been consistently accurate before and after that incident.

Despite the occasional slip-up, the Mediterranean food truck has become our go-to place for delicious Mediterranean cuisine. The flavors are consistently satisfying, and we appreciate the convenience of taking our food to-go. If you're in the mood for flavorful falafel and a taste of the Mediterranean, this food truck is definitely...

SHAMEFULLY OVERCHARGED BY 3 GROWN MENS. NEVER GOING BACK. The food was alright and barely any meat for $12 but now I’m not coming back to this place again. it’s not about how expensive or cheap it was. It’s about the price posted on the truck that said chicken over rice was $9.50. I ordered my food and paid cash I didn’t say anything about the price because I wanted to see the receipt. They didn’t give me a physical receipt instead they sent a digital copy via text, which is great. Turns out they charged me $11+tax = $11.91 (I knew $9.50 plus tax can’t be $11.91 that’s why I asked for receipt). When I told the guy that he over charged me, three guys from the truck said that’s the old price and they’re waiting for new stickers.

Well that’s not my business and I went to that truck because of the price posted. So I basically got scammed. I do not support bad business. So they just lost a potential regular halal food lover customer from the neighborhood.

Will try competitor food truck from the same location but will never support this place even if the world comes to an end.

Such a shameful way 3 grown mens doing business.

P.S. you can see other reviews were customers had same exact...

Ordered a chicken shawerma plate and a chicken shawerma sandwich on the (I think they called it) "Italian" bread and an order of fries. The shawerma was DRY and had a sour taste (lemon,sumac?) and it also tasted like there was only a single spice in there, not a pleasant flavor. The fries were crispy and I believe they had spices on them. The garlic sauce was terrible. It's overly creamy (I think it's mayo with some garlic in there) and the pickled veg were nothing special, just the regular jarred stuff. The sandwich was terrible. It's more like a quesadilla. I had never in my life seen a shawerma sandwich with cheese in it until today. It had the chicken, garlic "sauce" and loads of cheese and was toasted so the cheese melted. Along with a couple of cokes, we paid $24. Definitely not worth it. Fadi's charges $7 or $8 for a sandiwch and although it's a little on the smaller side, it packs a fantastic amount of flavor. I might come back to try the other items, but will most definitely not try the shawerma again. Also, it took about 25 minutes for the order to be ready and we were the...
