Strike 3. I looked up towards the counter and really examined the layout. That's when I finally put it together and reality sunk in. This is not an Indian restaurant that also serves Indian inspired pizza, this is a pizzeria that serves Indian inspired food & Indian inspired pizza. If you go there expecting authentic Indian food, you will be highly disappointed. If you've never had Indian food before, or maybe tried it once or twice, I can see you liking their food. The staff are nice and I don't want this to come off as negative but I do feel like this spot is overhyped for what it actually is. I have to be honest. The influencer did the family a solid by promoting them. read more

I decided to come here for lunch because I wanted to support a local small business. Regardless, I'm writing this review honestly. I ordered their Chicken Tikka Masala Lunch Box. The order came out to $16.28, and comes with Chicken Tikka Masala, rice, tarka daal, and one piece of plain naan bread. I'd say this was a pretty good deal considering sandwiches in the area are about the same price and this meal comes with a few extras. I ordered this to-go inside, and it took about 10 minutes. The employee was very kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere felt a little stale. I dined-in before casually, but wouldn't have a special occasion here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tarka daal: I've honestly never had this before and wouldn't normally order this, so I can't compare it to others, but I thought it was good. I wish I had the option to pick a different side instead, but I'm glad I tried it. 4/5 Chicken Tikka Masala: Came with about 4 chunks of chicken. I tasted an unexpected sweet flavor with very mild spice. I usually ordered chicken tikka masala at Indian restaurants, but this tasted a little different from others I've had. When I normally eat this dish, I use a fork to cut the chicken because of how tender it could be, but this wasn't very tender. I'd probably order the chicken curry next time. 3.5/5 Rice: The rice came packaged in a container that made me think this might not have been fresh, but I'm not too sure. It was a large portion, so I only ate half with my meal, but it was good! 4/5 Naan: I'm a huge fan of naan, but I typically opt for other variations like garlic naan. This was soft and chewy, but not anything mind blowing. Compared to other plain naan, I'd give it a 4.5/5 Overall, the experience was pleasant and I feel satiated! I don't think I'd return again, but this is definitely still worth visiting if you plan to order other items. read more

I was in the neighborhood around 1:30pm on a Friday, and I saw that Omar's had decent reviews. There was only one other party aside from me inside, and they have a decently sized space. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior has a nice ambiance if you do decide to sit down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought the special was a steal for $17.95! I ordered the vegetable samosas, naan, and chicken saagwala. The samosas were the hugest I have ever eaten, and the filling was very tasty. There was a bit of a kick to the curry filling if that's something you are sensitive to. The naan could have used a touch more moisture, but I liked that it wasn't charred and had some fluff. Regarding the saag, the chicken was MOIST, which is such a rarity in curry. The saag is also more on the pureed side, which I don't mind. Flavors were on point, and I only had to spit out one cardamom pod. When I sat down, they brought me a large bottle of water, so nothing needed to be refilled. Service was more impersonal, but maybe would be better if it was busier. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one complaint I had was that one of their employees came back from a smoke break, and the cigarette smell was so strong and disgusting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, this will be going down as one of my new favorites, and I will be back to try the unique pizza and some of the other dishes. read more

Really enjoyed the lunch special. It came with an appetizer, main and naan of choice. The tikka masala was delicious a bit on the sweet side but the lamb curry was pretty spicy. Overall I would come back for lunch. read more

Fire. Lamb tiki masala was gas. Quiet spot good service. Soap in the bathroom makes your hands smell questionable. Overall banger

If you are looking for a friendly neighborhood spot, this is definitely the place! The food was amazing, and the service was nice and we were served quickly. The food we ordered was chicken tandoori, chicken tikka masala, naan, and papdum with dips. The food was full of flavor and fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole restaurant had a friendly vibe, and was pretty quiet. It was definitely family friendly, too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been coming back ever since my first visit, and the restaurant just keeps surprising me!! I would recommend this place!

Omar's Indian Fine Cuisine is an authentic Indian and Indian Fusion restaurant that opened in Brooklyn, New York in November 2021. It was founded by Omar Khan. He immigrated to the United States from India in 1985. He worked as a contractor but always had a dream of opening his own restaurant. Beginning in 2010, he began to build a restaurant on the ground floor of a building that he owned in Brooklyn's Prospect Heights neighborhood. Little by little, Khan built the restaurant in his free time over the course of 10 years. When the restaurant finally opened, the menu featured classic Indian staples such as goat biryani, lamb vindaloo, and chicken curry. Omar's also featured a breakfast menu which was dominated by housemade bagels (a favorite food of Khan's). The menu also features New York-style pizza. Khan purchased a pizza oven and the restaurant had a small slice-shop operation. Initially selling regular New York pies, the restaurant eventually began making Indian fusion pizza. It was Omar's pies like the Chicken Tikka Masala or the Muglia that began to attract the New York pizza crowd. Khan sadly passed away in August 2022. Today the restaurant is run by his son, also named Omar Khan. I recently visited Omar's while I was cycling around NYC. I was trying out a number of Brooklyn breweries and pizzerias and this was my first third stop of the day. Although Omar's is first and foremost an authentic Indian restaurant, I had heard a number of good things about them from NYC pizza enthusiasts. I'm no stranger to Indian fusion pizza. One of my favorite Indian restaurants makes an amazing Chicken Tikka Masala pizza. How would Omar's measure up? Although a staff member handed me a menu, I told him that I already knew what I wanted: the "Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza" (signature tikka masala sauce, tandoor roasted chicken, fresh shredded mozzarella cheese, crisp red onions, fresh bell pepper, fresh diced garlic, ginger, garnished with fresh cilantro). The staff brought me some complimentary papadam to munch on while I waited. The pizza was very good; good sauce and lots of flavor! Although I would've liked a little bit more chicken and a little less peppers and onions. Also, I would have preferred the pizza to be a little bit more well done; I prefer my crust to be a little crunchier and not as chewy. Regardless, it was a solid pizza. I am definitely interested in returning to Omar's at some point and trying their traditional Indian dishes. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A whole vibe and a great spot They put a spin on the classics at Omar's.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The veg korma was hearty but not heavy. The bread top on the biryani was super cool. The masala pizza I wish had more masala flavor but it was a solid pizza with an objectively good crust. All the foods came out hot which is so necessary for stews, etc! We did have to call the waiter over a couple times but we were attended to quickly after. The food can take a while to come out, but the food comes out staggered so you won't be left hungry. read more

Solid Indian restaurant lamb delish, excellent Kababs and sweet warm Gulab jamun to end the night :)

I had the tawa vegetable pizza here, which was great. There was a nice blend of spices, plenty of cheese, a good variety of vegetables, and a fluffy and malty crust a bit reminiscent of fast food pizza - pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I'd have liked to see a few paneer pizza options, but this was still great for $24 after tax and tip. read more

It's kind of a hole-in-the-wall. Wasn't sure of what to expect because the inside was kind of empty on a Friday evening. But the food is absolutely delicious. Service was attentive. We got the Mirchi Chicken Pizza and the Indian-Italian take was on point. The pie was made to order so it took a while but worth the wait. Buddy said it smelled just like Hyderabad. The sauce tasted just like chicken vindaloo (so it was fairly spicy). Do try them out. read more

Omar's Indian Fine Cuisine - Chicken Mirchi chicken pizza - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Omar's is a simple, no frills kind of restaurant, but if you have a hankering for delicious Indian food you've come to the right place. I came for the allure of their Indian pizzas, but stayed (and subsequently returned) for their excellent curries and stews. The pizzas are reminiscent of the pan pizza style, with a crispy, slightly thick crust. I've tried three: chicken tikka masala, mirchi chicken, and butter chicken. The mirchi chicken's probably my favorite since the vindaloo sauce stands out the most among all that starch and cheese. The others have slightly more subdued flavors, and the chicken tikka masala pizza has too many other toppings for the namesake ingredients to shine. The rest of the menu is massive because there are so many variations for each dish. The best one by far is the crab curry, an off-menu item that's basically a whole bowl of shredded crab meat stewed in a savory curry sauce. You can't go wrong with the chicken or lamb vindaloo, which is spicy and hearty from the red chilies and vinegar. The lamb chops, marinated and cooked in a tandoor oven, are tender and come with delicious roasted veggies. I also liked the flavors of the fish masala, with its tomato and tamarind sauce, although I didn't really enjoy the breaded tilapia (but they'd probably be fine substituting that fish for some other protein or veggie option). read more

The food here is awesome! Very authentic with the perfect level of spicy. Also the price is very affordable.

Omar's makes one of the best vegetarian samosas around ! Packed with potatoes & vegetables and very tasty. The chicken tikka masala was excellent too. And the nan was light and fluffy. Great sauces too, nicely packaged for delivery. Plenty of food & just the right amount of basmati rice. The Indian Daily Special included an appetizer, entree, rice (choice of basmati or brown rice), naan & a small rice pudding. They included two (not one) large vegetarian samosas with the meal plus assorted condiments. Everything was delicious and fresh. Omar's Indian Fine Cuisine has high quality food. I think I've found my favorite Indian restaurant in Brooklyn. Definitely lives up to the great reviews. read more

DO NOT EAT THE CREAM CHEESE HERE. Ordered two bagels with cream cheese, my partner and I each took bites and looked at each other in horror. The most sour, foul tasting cream cheese I'd ever had. I'm 100% confident it was fully expired, was probably sitting in that glass shelf for days before I ordered. We threw our food away to avoid getting sick. The only other time I ordered here I walked in for two breakfast sandwiches and ordered at about 10:30 am. Literally not a single other customer in there. It took half an hour to get two bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. The guy at the counter did literally nothing while I waited, and when I started asking about my sandwiches after about 15 minutes he just kept telling me they were coming. 30 minutes for two sandwiches is insane, especially considering not a single other customer fam in and ordered while I waited. Honestly I was pretty excited to try their Indian pizzas, but after these visits (and especially after realizing they serve food that WILL make you sick) I've decided to just skip Omar's from now on. read more

Absolutely loved the food. Every thing was delicious. Highly recommend the pizza too! I will come again when back in NYC.

Wow wow wow. Wish I had pictures but I ate it too fast! Absolutely amazing food and one of the best mango lassi's I have ever had. I had the pakora (a bit too fried for my liking but that's okay, still very delicious) and the matar paneer. The matar paneer was fantastic!!! Highly recommend this spot.

Alright if you come for the pizza- this place is a three star. If you go for the traditional Indian food it is tasty, quick, and reasonably priced. They also are willing to serve spicy which is lovely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was a little cold due to our seating but that was okay we just kept our coats on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had drone footage with nice calming music playing and seemed clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall. Again, Would recommend the Indian, not the pizza. read more

*delivery review* I was super excited to try their fun pizzas but they definitely are pretty gimmick-y. The pizza was mid but they did deliver the food fast. This was one of those "it looks better than it tastes" type of thing. It was ok, but I'd skip. 3/5 read more

Short notes: Pretty reasonable prices. Alright food. Would recommend the crab meat korma and lamb chops. Pizza is a fun gimmick. I went to this spot a while back with one of my usual groups having heard of their Indian pizza but we thankfully didn't just get the pizza and got a mix of other dishes also. The drink selection is more like your average deli or bagel place outside of them having mango lassis and related. The place is surprisingly big and the service was of course very casual. They gave us some papadum after we ordered with the normal mix of chutneys and it was fine (with fine but well portioned being a good description of most of the food here.) In terms of said gimmick, the Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza came with "Signature tikka masala sauce, tandoor roasted chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, bell pepper, diced garlic, ginger, and cilantro." The actual pizza itself reminded me of the $1.50/$2 slices with rather sweet tomato sauce. The chicken on top of it was pretty tasty but there wasn't enough of the sauce so I found it to be a little bit too similar to a not so good pizza outside of it being topped with better chicken. We also got the Mixed Vegetable Pakora which was, "an assortment of vegetable fritters fried and battered in Indian spices." These were perfectly fine with a pretty light fry. Best of the opening dishes was the Paneer Tikka. I could have done with less bell peppers but it was nicely grilled and pretty well flavored. For main dishes, the best one was the Crab meat Korma which consisted of "crab prepared in a savory almond, cashew thick cardamom cream sauce." Not overly sweet at least below the shreds of coconut like some other kormas with a good amount of crab. Would recommend. The Lamb Chops, "marinated and marinated in spices and cooked in a tandoor oven and served with in-house specialty roasted vegetables" were also pretty good though very different being much more tender than most spots with a good amount of likely yogurt added though with less grill marks. Omar's Lamb Biryani consisting of "aromatic basmati rice cooked with succulent lamb and spices" was the other successful dish. Actually well spiced and the colors were a little bit unique compared to a lot of biryanis though perhaps it could have used a little bit more lamb. The Lamb Kalimarchi consisting of "lamb cooked with vinegar, curry leaf, and black pepper" and the Lamb Vindaloo consisting of "boneless cubes of lamb prepared with red chilies, hot spices and vinegar. Simmered in an aromatic spicy curry" were just alright. The vindaloo could have been a bit more sourer and spicier and the former needed a bit more pepper and spice also. The Mixed Naan Basket was also pretty good. Mid 3 rounded up for the generous portions and prices more than the actual flavor. read more

I was apprehensive about trying this place because "who makes good Indian food, pizza, AND bagels". I was walking by one day and saw the Indian Pizza menu and my mindset IMMEDIATELY changed. I had to the the pizza. My friend and I got the half and half pizza. Half Chicken Tikka Masala, Half Butter Chicken and I am blown away. The crust was crispy and the toppings were perfection. Everything was made to order, so super fresh... but a little wait. The wait was worth it. I will be back to try more of their Indian dishes as well. They seemed to have a lot of mobile/delivery orders, but we opted to dine in. It was very casual but comfortable. 10/10 recommend trying read more

Like everyone else, we were skeptical, but we've ordered takeout from Omar twice and it's been delicious both times. The breads are a real highlight here. The paratha is flaky, the naan Is soft and pillowy, and they come to you piping hot, even for takeout. Some of our favorite dishes have been the mushroom saag, the bangan bharta, and the paneer tikka masala. I will note that the bangan bharta was a little inconsistent (the second time was less eggplant-forward), but both times were tasty. All of the entrees come with rice, which in NYC, isn't always a given. We're also picky about our raita, but the yogurt sauce here is thick, flavorful, and creamy. All of the chutneys that come with the meal are a nice accent. This is easily the best Indian food we've had in the neighborhood. It seems to be a family-owned business. It's a great addition to the neighborhood and is now part of our regular takeout rotation. Omar's foods are fine indeed. We'll be back for bagels! read more

Solid food and atmosphere. I am more accustomed to traditional Indian American environments, this place is pretty much mimicking an entire American pizza shop. You will not be disappointed by any means. Everyone is accommodating although not very attentive. I have tried Trader Joe's Frozen Indian dishes that taste better but that's no slight to Trader. Joe's will slaughter more restaurants when it comes to their frozen dishes. A massive vegetarian menu that mirrors the non-vegetarian options is available that's a huge plus. The service is friendly but not the most attentive. It wasn't very crowded. Maybe it was an off night. Either way, I recommend. read more

Fun restaurant. It's primarily an Indian restaurant but they also have pizza and bagels. One of the fun things they do is put traditionally Indian toppings on the pizza. They were very flexible and let us customize the pizza with paneer. We had two pies each split two different sets of ingredients. My favorite toppings were the paneer and butter chicken. My friend requested a side of raita which was a great idea. Atmosphere was casual. One gender neutral restroom which was spacious and handicap accessible. read more

Fine little restaurant that is a lot larger on the inside than one would assume just walking by. Pretty extensive menu with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian delights. We were able to sample appetizers, bread and entree for a fabulous $16.95 special. Definitely worth taking advantage of. We were able to share and still had leftovers to take away. My favorite dish was the chicken curry. Soooo good! Flavors bursting on your tongue without setting it on fire! The garlic Naan was great too. This is a BYOB establishment if that's your thing. If it's not, they have a wonderful mango lassi, sodas and teas. Not chai though, which was very disappointing to me. An Indian restaurant without chai? I really wanted to cry when he offered me regular tea. But the fabulous mango lassi more than made up for my disappointment. We ordered the gulab jamuun and rice pudding to go. I've never seen such tiny gulag jamuun before (you get 4 chiquito balls in 1 order instead of the usual 2 large ones), but I was assured they were very tasty. Rice pudding was excellent. All in all I will definitely return to this place. Check it out yourself... but don't expect any chai. read more

I love, love love ordering from here. The veggie samosa is my weakness. I've enjoyed the bhindi masala and the jalfrezi, you can't go wrong with either. The baingan barthat is crazy flavorful as is the sabizi curry. Literally discovered this spot on a bike ride through the city and I've been ordering ever since. And let's be clear, NYC has some great Indian spots but my order from here is always piping hot, the quantity makes since for the price point and the one time I went in person, the service was great! The waiter asked my dietary restrictions, knowledge of Indian cuisine and then made the best suggestions from there. All this to say I ordered both lunch and dinner from here today!

Yeah this is some delicious Indian. It has the ambiance of a bagel shop and strings of flashing lights out in front, but who cares? The curries are delicious, the chutneys pack a punch, the rice pudding juicy with cardamom. This is definitely a notch above the other Indian places in the area. If the rest of their dishes are as good as what I had tonight I might even give the pizza a try. Currently their website is not working correctly. I would suggest giving them a call to make sure they get your order. read more
