Omar's Mediterranean Cuisine captivates guests with the enticing aroma of chicken shawarma slowly cooking on rotating spits. The dish is accompanied by a selection of housemade sauces, including garlic mayo, tahini, and a zesty orange hot sauce.

Originally from Egypt, Omar Abouzaid has embarked on various successful ventures in New York City since relocating to the US in the late 1970s. His professional journey has seen him transition from managing a Middle Eastern eatery to running a bakery in Queens, culminating in co-ownership of a prominent Manhattan-based catering enterprise.
