I love my waiter. He did an awesome job explaining the menu and recommendations.
The wait was a bit longer than expected because i made reservations but I’m glad that didn’t deter me from dining. All and all, i would definitely return.

Outstanding food, drinks ambience and service! Will definitely return!

This is our absolute Favorite spot in the city! It feels like home they went out of there way to ensure my little sister enjoyed her 23rd birthday! It was a really cold day they gave us complimentary soup that was so good! We will definitely be back soon !

Love the entertainment n the staff friendly and helpful, love the jerk chicken that’s my favorite, the food was prefect drinks was awesome .. go and enjoy

Ambience reminds me of Yaad. Great food, music and unwatered down drinks.

They didn’t let use sit down when we had a 10pm reservation said all the food done smh

Very nice restaurant. Food and music was on point. Definitely will return during the warmer season.

The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were perfect. The service was amazing as well

Love this place so much can’t wait to go again. The food was great, the drinks and the music!

The food was AMAZING. Bartender was very nice and worked the room introducing himself to each table and even offered us shots at the end. Our server however was super rude from the time we sat down, she kept rushing us to order. Was very short and dry. Then when i asked if i could place another order to-go she laughed in my face because the kitchen was closed. Very weird. My friend said she overheard her at the bar yelling about how she wasn’t getting tipped. Besides our server everything else was 10/10.

Great food great service.

The wait was an 1 hr and 30 min. The food was horrible. I honestly have never said that in my life, but it is true. Jamaican restaurant and no Jamaicans in the kitchen. See for yourself. Just horrible.

It’s cute, authentic music. The drink was the best part! Would go back for drinks only. The food isn’t worth it. Ordered oxtail and it had so much fat you couldn’t get enjoy it. Mac and cheese also wasn’t good. Pistachio cheesecake was great tho!

Food, drink and ambiance was perfect!! First time coming, but won’t be my last.

You will enjoy your time here this is popping place glad to see more Caribbean culture in manhattan

Second time dining here food is delicious and service is great.

Flavorful food, great ambience and exotic cocktails. However, the service was below par.

Took my boyfriend for a sweetest day dinner. We enjoyed the food and music.

They don't follow through with reservations. Mine was canceled 15 mins before coming. Called them to be put on the waiting list was told I was the fist one to be seated. I was not. I ened up leaving. They are very unorganized cute spot but better off ordering to go or not find at all. They really need to do better

Oh you gotta go try the food. It's delicious. FOR REAL.
Any bad reviews you read are from people who expect the food to taste like ...

IT'S BETTER THAN THAT!!!

Great food, great drinks

The oxtail was very salty. The mac and cheese wasnt tasty. The chicken was burnt.

Food was great, ambiance was perfect! Felt like I was in Jamaica for a min!

Decided to go here last minute and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was great!

I think I went into this place which TOO high of expectations because wow I left feeling so underwhelmed. Spent about 2.5 hours at this establishment and that was ONLY because everything took so LONG and there weren't that many people there.

To start I ordered their famous rum punch. I tasted absolutely no alcohol in it. Just tasted like a fruit juice. BORING!

My date and I decided to share an appetizer, the shredded curry goat roti on flatbread. After about 20 min they told us they had no more goat and instead would put curry shrimp. We agreed and said that's fine. We both ordered the curry shrimp in plantain gnocchi Rasta pasta and that came out before the appetizer. They then told us there was no more flatbread!! So they will take if off our bill.. let down. (This was about an hour in. Maybe more)

Ok fine. Everyone who eats Rasta pasta knows it's supposed to be a little spicy... nope no spice and portion EXTREMELY small. Left us still hungry. Shrimp was big but their was about 10 gnocchi pieces in there. So we decided to order dessert.

We ordered the carrot cake with splash of Appleton. Without exaggeration we waited approximately 45 min for this. I became so inpatient I told them forget just please bring the check. The guy said "their putting sugar on it now" and walked away while I was still talking. Brought the carrot cake and it was black on top from being BURNT! We couldn't even finish it even though we were hungry. They then also explained they make it from scratch which is why it took so long! They could of said that when we ordered or at least checked in once while we waited to tell us. Instead they avoided all contact until I flagged someone down to cancel it.

The ONLY good parts.. the place is cute. Menus are on old records. & the host was nice, even though she didn't check in with us often.

Will never return. Was hoping to love this place. Such a let down.

OH! & we got the check and the flatbread was still on it. Thank god we reviewed the check

Brunch menu was different from online Brunch menu.The food was awesome still!Hostess was Amazing! Waiter was not good. He was not very accommodating when asking about menu items he was unaware of what we previously saw online and was very short. Other than that it was great.

Great food, vibe and service. I will definitely be back

It was a vibe, love the intimate space and atmosphere. Definitely going back!

Omar’s Kitchen was amazing!

Service, food and ambiance was above my expectation keep providing high quality services to your customers.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 My girls are still talking about your carrot cake and the food. Gratitude 🙏🏽 is a must Omar bringing out the Jamaica food culture with a lot of mmmm flavor.

Very friendly workers. Extremely nice people who were knowledgeable about the food and drinks.

What a great hidden gem...,

Wings Rum punch are a must!!!!
If you like spice the lamb sliders are a perfect choice, ughhhh everything was sooooooo good I ate it all before I could remember taking pics for the gram lol

For my entree I had the sea bass. It was AMAZING, huge cut cooked to perfection. For the sides I had the lobster Mac and bummed my friend fried plantains all night ;)

Can’t wait to go back!!!


Can’t wait to go back

Dope atmosphere amazing food and drinks! Will definitely be back perfect date nite spot!

Food was so good. I will definitely go back

Came here for dinner on feb 22,2020 . My reservation was for 6:30pm but because of traffic I didn’t get to the establishment until 7pm. My sister and I walked into the restaurant gave the name that the reservation was made under and we were told our table was giving away . So we said ok and we were told that we would have to be put on the waitlist . My sister and I said ok and that’s when we were told that our wait time was an hour and an half . We said that’s ok and declined to stay . The part that left a bad taste in my sister and I mouth was that the establishment had about 10 people in there . They had so may empty tables plus no one was in there waiting to be seated . So why was the wait one and a half hours ? The hostess never even asked if we wanted to eat at the bar where it was empty also . We really wanted to eat that restaurant but after this I do t think we will be back .

Food was great and our server was great. Downside they had the ac on.... yikes

We were very pleased with our experience at Omar's. I had a party of 6. We were seated immediately by friendly waitstaff. The Rum Punch was so good and had a nice spicy kick to it. The chicken wing appetizers were well seasoned and juicy. I ordered the escovitch fish which was delicious. My husband had oxtails, friends had jerk chicken and the Chilean sea bass. All were very happy with their choices. The portions are a bit tiny especially the sea bass but everything was extremely tasty. The restaurant is small and was very crowded so the seating was tight. Plan to get very cozy with your neighbor! Will definitely try to get back to Omar's the next time I'm in town!

Food was AMAZING! The owner, Omar, was cooking and it was delicious! We will def be coming back!

Everything about Omar’s Kitchen was great!

I was so excited for my reservation at 7pm; only to be texted at 7pm to request I come in at 8pm. Frustrated as I was a block away, I accommodated the request by getting a drink nearby. I was then texted at 7:25 to “come now”. With an open bar tab, I said I could be there at 7:35 only to be told keep my new time of 8pm guaranteed. I arrived at 8pm only to find my table not ready and expectation for me to wait further. There were no accommodations or apologies made for the inconvenience or lack of professionalism. I left; texted at 9:30 to express my disappointment. It is my hope that their professionalism and customer service improves. It was a bad night and mishandled.
