Feel Good Food by Omar actually lives up to its name! The flavour was of such exquisite quality that it left me feeling remarkably better than I've ever felt after a meal. My partner and I ordered a Falafel Bowl (€9), which was more than enough to satisfy our hunger. Good falafel is hard to come by, but these freshly made ones were fluffy on the inside, perfectly spiced, and crunchy on the outside. We got four big ones that filled us up.

In sum, I strongly...

I recovered, and since that day have become one of Omar’s growing list of regulars - just as addicted to the flavors and quality of the food as to the wholesome interpersonal exchanges that take place in this little shop.

And upon leaving, you feel good. Simply good. Every...
