Omar’s Taste serves some of the best Mediterranean food around truly authentic and full of flavor! The Chicken Shawarma Platter is a beauty perfectly seasoned and served in a generous portion that’s easy to share between two people. You also get to pick your sides, and I highly recommend going with the hummus and baba ghanoush both are incredibly fresh and rich in flavor. To top it off, they serve complimentary baklava with the check a sweet and thoughtful finish to a great meal. Cleanliness is good, but they wiped our table with a foul-smelling cloth, which made the start a bit unpleasant I’d suggest avoiding that as it spoils the mood. If you’re craving authentic Mediterranean food with great portions and hospitality, Omar’s Taste is the place to go!

Absolutely delicious! Omar Mediterranean Cuisine nails it with fresh, flavorful dishes and warm, welcoming service. We tried their signature dish it was delicious especially the eggplant salad. Don’t skip the baklava for dessert! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff genuinely cares about your experience. Whether you’re a Mediterranean food lover or trying it for the first time, Omar’s is a standout. Highly recommend!

We got the combo plate to share and the amount of food was just perfect adding on some sides. Meats were delicious and the eggplant salad was remarkable. Service quick and friendly - even offered dessert on the house. Bookmarking and would definitely be back

A must-visit spot if you’re in NYC! The portions are generous, and most importantly, the taste is amazing. I’ve tried many chicken shawarmas before, but this place is truly the best. And don’t miss out on the baklava for dessert — I highly recommend it!
