Omar's Kitchen and Rum Bar

I visited Omar’s Kitchen and Bar in New York and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was beautiful. I loved the colors, the music, and even the bathroom decor. The Lover’s Leap cocktail was excellent, strong and perfectly made. The rice and peas and plantains were good, but the chicken wings tasted like they were cooked the day before with sauce added on top, which was disappointing. My mom’s fritters, though, were immaculate. I’d probably go back for drinks, but not for the wings.

Didn’t know what to expect from a Caribbean spot in this location but they delivered. Wasn’t overly crowded but I imagine that changes in the summer time. To start, the drinks were made perfectly. Our waiter, Malcolm, was great. The shrimp curry went crazy. I’d go back just for that. Overall, the vibes were nice and bill wasn’t that expensive either. Was a great time and I’ll be back. The only caveat were the tables were a bit wobbly but really didn’t mind.

The staff was very friendly and gave good service. The oxtails was very good taste wise I just wish the oxtails was more meaty they were very small and not a lot of meat on them and didn’t get a lot of oxtail but the flavor was there for 35 dollars i should get more. Oxtail 7/10 The jerk chicken was very good as well.The flavor and spice was there , taste fresh I just wish there was there was more of a char on the jerk chicken. Jerk chicken 9/10 . Rice and peas was very good 10/10 just wish it was served more hot. Rice was cold when I got it. Drinks were very good as well 10/10 Wasn’t a bad experience overall I’d definitely recommend this spot for nice dinner with friends/ family etc…thank you!

Great vibe, music, atmosphere and service!! I had an amazing experience at Omar’s Kitchen & Rum Bar! The jerk salmon was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice—smoky, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The salmon tacos were just as impressive—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. Great cocktails, warm atmosphere, and friendly service made the whole night even better. I’ll definitely be back!

Went to Omar’s for dinner and drinks and I had a great time! The food was amazing we got the goat ribs and the fried snapper. The portions were great and the food was flavorful. The drinks were amazing. The tamarind and sorrel drinks were both really good. My server Malcom was great at answering all my questions and helping me figure out what to order. He also made amazing drinks. Overall it was a great experience and I’ll definitely be back !
