Halal Reviews for Omar's Turtle Bay

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!

This restaurant is best when it comes to food, ambiance and service. Food presentation is also so cool. The location is awesome in midtown Manhattan. Perfect place for Dinner and Lunch. Prices are also economical given the location and food.

Ambiance (4/5): The back dining area is well lit and quiet! There's plenty of seating and was pretty busy on a weekend lunch hour. Service (2/5): The front part of the restaurant is a fast plate ordering to go. There was about 3 staff members working both stations so it was difficult to get service in the back dining area. Omar Signiture Dish (5/5): Everything on the platter was delicious! The lamb kabob was my favorite and the chicken was incredibly juicy. The protein is seasoned wonderfully with pronounced spices. The seasoned rice complemented well w the meats. The portion was enough for 1.5 persons. The table has bottles of yogurt sauce and hot sauce. Both were delicious complements to the dish but the flavors didn’t need it! Sharing plates incurs an extra $5 fee. Groups with 5 or more has an included 20% tip.

I go here 2x a week. This is the best Mediterranean food in the area and best lunch spot in the area by far, especially for the great price. The food is always amazing quality (I always get the lentils and the lamb Adana). The people who work there are the best as well. Go here - you won’t regret it.
