omar's

bad service. the food at omars is excellent. everthing i have had has been well prepared as well as reasonably priced. sometimes the service was great and othertimesnot. until one time they had a banner up, as well as a flyer in the mail, advertising buffet starting at 10:00 a.m. i went in and was told not untill 11:00 using exactly those words in a dismissive tone. when i explained about the sign she repeated not untill 11:00. no apology no explaination. i sent them two e-mails about this and got no response. this was some time ago and things may have improved but i will never go back. no matter how good the food is. when i patronize an establishment i expect to be treated with dignity and respect. not as if i don't matter.

wasn't good...inedible pizza. we've been to omar's a couple times. the first fewtimesi enjoyed the food. we went a few months ago and got pizza and wings. the wings were terrible. they were dry/cooked to death and were just totally unappetizing. recently (10/19/12) we picked up some food after work. we ordered the chicken shawarma pizza and a gyro. as we were getting in the car we both remarked on how strong the garlic smell was (we both love garlic). when we got home we each grabbed a piece. i noticed mine had a pretty good amount of garlic on it. my bf only ate half his piece and i asked why and he said the garlic was so strong it was burning his mouth. i didn't believe him so i took a bite of his piece where he said it was very garlic-y....it made my mouth hurt. it was so strong and acid. ewww. i would have taken it back if we lived closer and we hadn't been at work all day and just wanted to be done with the day. i tried to eat another piece the next day for lunch and as soon as i bit the tip it was an instant, nasty garlic taste in my mouth.total waste of money since we got a large pizza expecting to be able to eat the leftovers for lunch over the next few days and money is tight so this was supposed to be a treat. never again.

candy is dandy but hummus is yummy. there is a lot to choose from on this menu, so i can't vouch for everything, but i have been happy with my choice each time i have been there. last time it was a falafel sandwich - crunchy and creamy all in one bite.

i am a big fan of the shwarma (i probably spelled that wrong.) you can get a sandwich (gyro-like, with the filling wrapped in a pita),served with fries for about $6, or a plate with hummus (yum!) and yellow rice on the side for about $10.

the pizza is quite good also, both st. louis and ny style. (pizzas are huge, so be prepared to share or take home leftovers.)

i have been more than satisfied with the service. even with big party in such a small space, i have always found them to be fast and friendly.

i have been there severaltimesand plan to return often.

best mediterranean/middle eastern food in stl. the food and service has been outstanding here. been here multipletimesand this place place never dissapoints. the food tasted great everytime. fresh and honest tasting food. owner is very friendly and takes pride of what he does. freshly made hummus and breads. the meat entree and wraps are always made right. best gyros, shawarma and kabobs! can't wait to come back here.

horrible service. tried threetimesand service still horrible. owner manager didn't seem like he cared at all. food was good, but too many places to spend my money that provide at least adequate service and appreciate their guests.
