Abdallah's Bakery & Deli

Best shwarmas in Houston! I always ask for extra spicy.

Food is pretty good. Staff is friendly and food appeared to be fresh.

My previous review was: Humongous, delicious, shawarmas for $5. You can't beat that! Spicy chicken shawarma is the best. However today I have to drastically reduce my rating. I arrived at Abdallah's at 5:50pm, going out of my way to come here during rush hour. Their sign says they open back up at 6:00pm. I pulled on the door and the lady inside saw and heard me but decided not to acknowledge me and proceeded to continue cleaning the tables. I let it go because I figured maybe they're really strict about not opening until 6:00pm. I sat in my car for 12 minutes, went back up at 6:03pm and found both doors, still locked. I peered inside, saw the lady was in the kitchen - I knocked on the door to try and get her attention to no avail. I waited 6 more minutes and tried to get her attention again. Nothing. At 6:10pm, the doors were still locked and she was still in the kitchen, with no indication that she was gonna come out to attend a customer. At this point I'd had enough of my time wasted and went home. My parents owned a restaurant and no matter if the customer came 30 minutes before everything was ready, they still opened the doors and let them in. This is not how you run a business. I figured they really didn't want my business today for whatever reason so I won't be giving it to them from now on.

The shawarma wraps are awesome! I always get the yogurt with cucumbers to go on the side cause it's so refreshing. I love going to Abdallah's It would be much better if I knew I was supporting a Muslim owned business, but it shouldn't matter since they are still serving halal foods. And if its that big of a deal we all need to leave this country and move to a country of an Islamic state....that actually sounds like a good idea lol

Their toasted chicken shawarma was really good. Also tried the Chicken skewer with rice, again really good. Recommended!

Owners are Arab Christians. From what I heard, they do sell halal though.

Excellent food. The owner was very nice. It looks okay from the outside, but the inside is kind of cute.

Bismillah My family ate here, and we thought the food was really good, homey, and a good amount for the price. Quick, because it is served semi-cafeteria style, although there are some special order items. There homemade bakery goods were yummy. Owner confirmed with my husband that he only uses zabihah meat. Music was a bit annoying (local radio station piped in)-but otherwise a good choice. And Allah knows best.

Owners are not Muslim
