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!

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!

FANTASTIC, MUST VISIT!!! It has been such a long time since I’ve genuinely left a restaurant with a smile from ear to ear. Came in to dine after class on Saturday and grabbed the Omar’s Specialty and my oh my was I impressed. Fast service, freshly cooked food, and authentic flavors. Each piece of meat was seasoned to perfection, the bread and rice to complement were superbly done. It honestly doesn’t get better than this. This is a must try for anyone in the city, and the price is more than beyond reasonable with the amount of food that you get. I will happily dine here again, my new favorite restaurant in NYC!! 😁😁

It is pretty good spot for middle eastern food. Casual spot for a quick bite. The price is reasonable and the portion is generous. We got Omar’s comb plate. The chicken shawarma is the best option. If you like egg plant, the baba ganoush is very good.
