Chez Omar is a nouveau Caribbean restaurant. Chef Omar is inspired by his Jamaican roots and Caribbean travels. This location comes as a second iteration of Omar's Kitchen and Rum Bar in NYC's Lower East Side.

Chef Omar's initial interest in Jamaica’s native fruits and vegetables led to an all-out exploration of a culture that blends a Caribbean twang with an urban New York twist.

He grows in his style by experimenting with these cultural blending techniques for friends and family, even dabbling in new ways to curate vegan Caribbean dishes.

    Found this restaurant last minute and because of great reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was so so. We wanted to order scallops and the pan seared branzino and both unavailable. I wanted the dirty martini which has Grey Goose vodka but no Grey Goose available too.

    I enjoyed the attentiveness of the server. The pan seared branzino and Parmesan grits were a showstopper. The noise level was perfect for conversations (soft music in the background made it a comfortable dining experience without having to yell at the person across from you). A point of feedback: the lamb sliders should have more seasoning/flavor and a sauce to accompany them, especially because they were served on a hearty bread with a fried egg. It’s a great menu choice but it could be elevated. Otherwise, everything was delectable and I would come again.

    Very good choice of a fusion of cultures. Portions were great, food was prepared beautifully and the ambience is very intimate. Good place for dates.

    Chez Omar is a delightful spot for a family outing. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, blending charm with a relaxed vibe that makes you feel right at home. The food was excellent—beautifully seasoned and full of flavor. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. It’s clear they take pride in their craft. We left feeling satisfied and eager to return. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

    One of the best new restaurants in West Village and shocked more people haven’t found it hidden along the west side highway. Authentic Caribbean food and vibes- what a fun evening! The service is always amazing and the lamb, oxtail, and croquettes are must tries! Reasonably priced extensive wine list too. Highly Highly Highly recommend.
