I cannot even begin to describe how delicious the food is here. There is a reason that at lunch the line wraps around the block. Chicken shawarma platter with tabbouleh and hummus is my favorite.
No wonder there's always a line outside from 12-1... This place is FANTASTIC!!! The employees are fast, efficient and friendly and the food is delicious! The lunch platter is a great deal- A must try!
Great spiced and high quality chicken schwarma with a great price. Skip the eggplant side. Hummus is extra sesame-tasting. Solid, quick lunch move.
This is a gem of a food oasis in a Midtown desert . The platters are generous -- the falafel and hummus are sooooo divine! I am someone who used to live in the middle East and rarely find such quality.
Hands down the best mediterranean cusine in the Upper east side. During lunch , the line extends out on to the sidewalk. Everything is good here, all fresh!
Omar's is outstanding! The staff was friendly , and the chicken shawarma platter was excellent! The warm pita and hummus were delicious, and inexpensive .
Honestly, the best part of my meal was the warm pita and creamy hummus . Everything was seasoned perfectly and the free baklava didn't hurt either!
Easy lunch or dinner option, with crispy , yet tender shawarma and made to order falafel , in fresh pita from the grill. Ambiance is not there thing, but the food is.
Falafels are amazing, hummus has a bit of a weird taste but are good nonetheless. Try the combo platters, they give you much more food for the price.
Great delicious mediterranean Lebanese food in nyc midtown for takeaways .. Shawarma , falafel , grills ???????? ????
I got the shawarma platter with hummus and yogurt and it was delicious. The olive oil on top of the hummus is unique and amazingly tasty.
The veggie platter was fabulous, everything tasted fresh and rich.
Love this place for chicken shawarma platter !! Delicious!!
Wow, wow, wow. Amazing food. I'm a regular traveller to the Middle East and I found Omar's to be one of the best places I've been.
Falafel is awesome here. Best Mediterranean food in this part of Manhattan . It's packed for lunch on weekdays. Avoid line by going after 1:30 PM
Some of the best middle eastern food in midtown. Draws a line well outside the door during lunch time, but it moves quickly.
Shawarma and hummus are insanely delicious! Very reasonable prices too. Yum
Nice Egyptians restaurant in NYC.
LOOOVE Omar's! There's usually always a queue for lunch but it moves quickly - just be sure to know what you want when you get to the counter.
I've had better Mediterranean food before. They serve a kind of hot bread with their dishes which is very good. Generally, I may not go there again.
when you order the delicious hummus , they'll top it off with a generous pour of olive oil unless you give em a "hummus no oil" order.
Fantastic value hearty Turkish / Mediterranean food . Get a chicken bbq platter which comes with 2 sides.
Chicken shawarma , hummus , Greek salad , garlic sauce and hot sauce
Food is really good. Very stressful if you don't know what you want or if you are going for the first time like I did.
amazing food, take it to go. sit down service is strange.
Chicken shawarma , Turkish eggplant . Platters are huge and great value for money .
The food is amazing and so cheap for the amount you get. Beware of long lines during prime lunch hour.
Huge portions and great value ...Get the chicken schwarma , hummus , and eggplant salad
Great chicken schwarma platter includes sides like baba ganoush , potatoes , and tabouleh .
Falafel Sandwich (~$6) is probably the best deal in the area. If you're even hungrier, you can't go wrong w/ the Shawarma or the Veg . Combo.
Chicken shawarma platter all day. Hummus , greek salad , tzatsiki. Get extra hot sauce .
Crack-tastic food that will leave you wanting more. Best falafel platter in town , served w/ house made pita bread . Inexpensive , to boot!
Do NOT miss the turkish eggplant salad or the potatoes . Make sure you get free baklava and *warm* pita .
Don't forget to ask for the complimentary baklava that comes with every meal.
This is a great place for shawarma and kebabs . Always crowded around lunch so come before 12:30
The best Middle Eastern Turkish food . Love the garlic sauce .
Hidden gem with a small menu. Everything is good. Cover it in the sauce.
Everything is really good. I love the chicken kebab platter with the Turkish eggplant salad . Free sweets too!
Chicken schawarma is amazing and the hummus is s must as a side
Good kofta and appetizers . Clean and good preparation. The place need renovation as decoration looks really old.
The vegetarian lunch platter is delicious, filling and a good price.
The falafel pita sandwich is pretty money. Ask for extra white sauce to make it even better.
Best Middle Eastern food I’ve found in NYC. Hi Jen shawarma is particularly good
#ProTip: order for pickup on Seamless and skip the lunch line that's always out the door!
Don’t be put off by the queue, it moves fast. Excellent Chicken Shawarma .
Good falafel & baba ganoush & bonus baklava with your order.
I can put these sauces on everything! :)
Chicken kebab platter with hummus and tabouli . Great.
The baclava is the best I've ever had.
$14 platters are enough for 2 meals, and come w/ free baklava
