Omar's New York - Buy Reservations

The chicken shawarma platter was packed with immensely flavors in every item that was on that platter. The chicken was very yummy and falafels also tasty. The platter is quite big and they serve you a good amount of food. The order comes with complimentary pita bread that was brought the food all together. Make sure to grab their sauces. They had three different sauces on the tables. The spicy one was my favorite that was added on the chicken.The menu is simple and not hard to order at all. The staff is helpful in explaining what can go on the platter. The service is great!

We've passed this place s many times but had a good Turkish restaurant right around the corner - now closed permanently . So we decided to try Omar's (good Yelp reviews) on our way home from Macy's Flower Show. Ordered online ahead of time to be picked up.Walked in and they said it'll be ready in a few minutes, and kindly invited us to take a seat. Place was empty (5pm), so we sat at a table; seems to be more of a takeout place than restaurant, but there are several tables as you walk toward the back, passing the takeout part that's what you see from the street.Anyway, SO worth waiting for, because they cooked our chicken (kabobs for him, Adana for me) right there and then! Can't get takeout any fresher than that!We both had chosen the same sides (you get 2 when you order a platter), chickpeas and spinach in tomato sauce, and Turkish eggplant (like a good caponata). The hot chickpeas and the cold eggplant salad kinda ran into each other a bit as we carried the whole thing home, but it was still very good. Each platter came with a fluffy, warm pita and a container of hot sauce (right up my alley!( and one with tahini sauce (yum, also a favorite).They sell baklava by the piece (& what's a meal "out" without dessert?!) so we each had ordered 1 piece. Found 4 instead of 2 in the bag, a sweet surprise!Got home to a nice hot meal, and we ate the salad I'd prepped before we went out after the hot food. I had 2 good sized chicken adana patties, so I heroically (hard to not gobble them both up, soo good!) saved 1 and thoroughly enjoyed it for lunch today!They apparently have 3 locations in the City, so check it out! We'll definitely come here again and maybe even eat indoors if we get a lull between covid variants.

After almost two years of a pandemic pause, we returned to Omar. Thanks God this unique restaurant survived. The food is as delicious as before and even better. The verity of plant-based food is outstanding and superb. The best hummus in Manhattan. Omar is a master of seasoning meat and his Shawarma and the variety of grilled meat dishes (chicken, meat and lamb) are outstandingly good. Omar's team are outsandingly nice hard working people that love what the do and serve you food with pride and love. This is unique.Omar is the best place in Manhattan for this type of Middle Eastern food and made all the people I introduced to Omar's craving his food when they are in this area of town. Highly recommended.

Wow loved this food today! Got the chicken shawarma platter with hummus and eggplant sides. It comes with a salad in the same tray. Also got the Mediterranean rice. Didn't care so much for the rice but it was delivery so could be why. The chicken imo was very good chicken. The eggplant side was incredible. Some of the best eggplant I've had and I'm Italian so we love our eggplant. Hummus was also nice and fresh. Love that they use good quality olive oil. I'd love to eat there in person next time! Great job. Please just work better with yelp/grub hub so it doesn't come late!

Omar's is EXCEPTIONAL! I have been a loyal customer for years as my office was right by the midtown location, but now that I work from home I decided to try delivery. Unfortunately the order was dropped off at the wrong location where it was then stolen |:-( !!!!Not Omar's fault, however the staff was very apologetic & extremely helpful in solving the issue. They even offered to send over the same order free of charge the next day! It was quite a large order as well, so very generous. The hummus is seriously the best hummus I've ever tried in my life (not exaggerating), and I dream of the chicken shawarma. No matter what your order from here I promise you cannot go wrong. Some of the best middle eastern food in the city and incredible service!!! Omars' generosity and wonderful hospitality will not be forgotten.Loyal customer for life!

Was definitely not ready for this: as a hummus addict and chicken shawarma lover I think I just fell in love with Omars. my coworkers and I went to this spot for lunch and everyone had been raving about it and boy did it live up to the hype.i ordered the chicken shawarma and egg plant. you can even see the style of how they cook the chicken shawarma is authentic. usually i hate egg plant but the way its made here i loved it. so much flavor i could hardly tell its a vegetable. the hummus was to die for and whats nice is they give you pita, baklava, and a bunch of sauces. portions are huge as well this had me full the rest of the day.not sure if its worth the price but knowing me and my love for mediterranean food id come back

Awesome food, the falafel was awesome and the chicken had great grilled flavor. Huge portions for the price and it all has great flavor. The chicken was superb as well. I would go back.

Needed to run some errands around Midtown East so dropped by for some delicious Mediterranean food. I got a vegetarian combo which came with falafel fresh out of the fryer, a salad, hummus, baba ganoush, and two pitas. Both the falafel and hummus were outstanding. The baba ganoush had a deep roasted flavor which was too strong for my taste. While waiting, I spotted a delicious-looking eggplant salad so I asked for a side of that. It was delicious - a roasted eggplant and tomato salad in some kind of marinara sauce with basil (as far as I can tell). The order also came with baklava and three side sauces. Overall, a very satisfying meal!
