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.

    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.

    meal was somewhat inconsistent - fish dishes were good, oxtail and jamaican rice not so much.

    Beautiful food fusing French and Carribean cuisine. Loved the design aesthetic too - an ode to Jamaica!
