omar's

great little cafe. i tried omar's for the first time recently, and i really like that it's so close to the airport. the dining room is small and intimate. the service is friendly and attentive. there's a nice selection of traditional greek and mediteranean dishes. i chose the combination platter which came with a salad and small dish of humus and pita. the salad was a bit of a disappointment---lettuce was room temp, not crispy and cold; the dressing was slightly sweet and mostly bland, not the sort of traditional greek or cesear type dressing i was expecting, but otherwise it was pretty good with some toastedpitaand grated cheese on top. the humus andpitawas very good. the combo platter with beef, chicken and lamb and sliced peppers was delicious! i would definitely go back, but i might skip the salad.

great gyro. if you look at my reviews you may say finding a great gyro is my passion, and omar's didn't disappoint. the key, to me, is softpitaand juicy meat. everybody has a different approach to the tzatziki sauce, and it tends to get overblown. their sauce is great, but the lamb andpitawere exquisitely done. i also has the falafel appetizer, which was a first for me but i liked it.

i talked to the chef about the pizzas, because i love wood fired pizza but alas just a brick oven. though based on my last trip, i'll be back to try that later.
