"Omar’s has been a Midtown staple for Muslims who frequent the area for years, but it’s also a great destination for food and prayer - there’s a mosque upstairs, which provides the perfect schedule for eating and worship. All of their dishes come with two sides, like the flavorful chicken shawarma that’s shaved from a roasted rotating spit and partnered with tabbouleh and hummus drizzled with olive oil. They also provide pita bread and baklava with every meal, which we very much support. To top it all off, douse your shawarma in their white sauce, which is a thinner version of tzatziki." - Jiniya Azad, Tahirah Baksh, Sameen Choudhry
