This restaurant is my top pick of the year. We tried a variety of vegetarian and meat options and all were exceptional. For starters 'batata' or cubed potatoes were better than most places on the average day. Hot, well seasoned and not soggy or burnt. There's a great vegetarian sandwich called Khodra. It was extremely tasty and filling. The hummus side was nicely garnished with zataar and sumac. There was another dish they called moussaka but it wasn't what I expected. It was cold eggplant (no mashed potatoes on top) with some other ingredients I didn't recognize. It was decent but the name threw me off. My Omnivore platter had delicious salad and rice flavored with a distinct savory taste I enjoyed. The salad portion could have been larger for the price payed (around $22). But everything was extremely fresh and by no means unreasonable. The decor was very different and made the experience more special. There was also a good selection of less common drinks. I wish I noticed the desserts before leaving, I would have had some for takeout. To top everything off the staff was sensational. I hope to...
Read moreWent to Omnivore for the second time and based on both experiences, I consistently had excellent service, very solid food and an overall great experience.
The restaurant does a lot of takeout, but it has a charming interior and it looks like they’re building a terrace for the summer time that will be nice to sit in! It’s kind of halfway between fast food and sit down in that they’ll serve you if you eat there, which was nice!
First time I had the Bombay and it was very tasty and fresh! I had it with a side of potatoes and garlic sauce, which was probably my favourite part!
My wife had the 5-salads plate and seemed to really enjoy it! (Picture below)
This time I had the carnivore with chicken and beef kefta (picture below). It was so good!!! It was also a lot of food for one person (probably meant to share) - I preferred the chicken kefta to the beef but both were good. Again had thé potatoes, not to be slept on!
100% will be back! The young lady serving us, Sydney (Sidney, Cindy?… sorry) was really sweet, patient and accommodating! Restaurant seems to have overall great staff based on...
Read moreI started with an amazing lemonade and a few entrees: tofu/veggie patè sandwich, stuffed vine leaves and hummus & pita chips. The sandwich was okay, it was too vinegary for me and I wanted actual chucks of tofu. The hummus & chips were good but the stuffed vine leaves really stood out; the rice on the inside was flavored to perfection.
For my main, I got the 5 veggie plate where essentially you choose 5 salads and small dishes. I got tabouleh, moussaka, babaganouj, vegé kebbeh and roasted potatoes. The tabbouleh, roasted potatoes and the kebbeh stood out. I only wish that the potatoes were warmer and that the kebbeh was less vinegary. The moussaka and the babaganouj lacked some flavor.
All of their dessert are vegan, so I had to try them all. I got the maamol (date paste cookie), baklava and nammoura (semolina cake). The baklava took first place, the other two were a little dry but had flavor. Great place, great...
