Qaboos - Manila

Ordered via grabfood the other day and I was surprised at how small and thin their 6 shawarmas were.. Flavor was on point but the garlic sauce was lacking kick. I ordered pickles on the side and was sad when I discovered they might have been the jarred, supermarket variety. I decided to give them another try today, dine-in. I ordered the 12 shawarma and yes, it was also thin, lol. Still my same concerns, garlic sauce lacking that stingy garlicky sensation on the tongue. Chicken was ok, though I i had some pieces in my shawarma that were kinda raw? And.. The pita bread was so stiff. Though it was thin, ang tigas, hirap kagatin. To their merit, the samosas were delicious and flavorful. I really wanna love this place, the chicken talaga is on point but the rest could use a bit more improvement. Pita bread, garlic sauce and stingy, sour pickles. For now, Beiruti Bite, Meshwe and Boy Shawarma pa din :

Honest review I’m really a fan of Middle East food and glad I discovered Qaboos offering legit and authentic Middle East food and authentic shawarma in the Philippines . Got to try their Arabic Grill Salad with Basmati Rice, Shawarma, Shish Tawook, Hummus with Pita Bread Spicy Garlic Sauce and Pickles. Loved everything . Parang nakarating na din ako sa middle east sa sobrang authentic. Di tinipid sa ingredients and very affordable. Aileenlfoodapproved

Delicious tasty fresh super friendly clean and great service

Their garlic sauce blend is too fatty, far from the garlic sauce you find in the middle east. No pickles in the shawarma too. If you ask me I'd still go for Meshwe (the best imo) or the nearby Boy Shawarma. But I guess it's still worth a try.

LET THIS BE A WARNING TO EVERYONE ELSE PLANNING TO BUY FROM THIS PLACE: I was craving for samosa on my way to my last class after swimming, bought samosa literally 20min ago. I got to school and opened the box of samosa I bought from Qaboos. 1st I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THE BOX WAS LEAKING OIL ALL OVER THE PLASTIC THAT IT SOAKED THE TISSUE PAPER INCLUDED. 2nd I GOT REALLY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IT LOOKED TOTALLY BURNT AND MESSED UP. 3rd IT WAS CRUNCHY AS HELL AND WERE LIKE CRACKERS. I only got to eat 2 out of 5 because it was all burnt and it tasted hella disgusting and oily. I made sure to take photos of how outrageously disgusting it looked. FOR 80 PESOS I COULD HAVE GOTTEN SOMETHING MORE DECENT THAN THIS. I SHOULD HAVE WALKED FURTHER ON THE WAY TO KOSTURI THEY SERVE SAMOSAS FOR 60 PESOS AND ARE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN THIS. I included photos for reference and PROOF. I'm so mad right now.
