I can't believe I have lived in Hampton Roads for more than 20 yrs and have never eaten here! This gem of a restaurant is in an actual carriage house! There is a warm inviting dining downstairs with bar and kitchen on same floor. And after a short but steep walk up some stairs, a smaller dining room upstairs(I would not recommend the upstairs for people with balance issues or using assistive devices). Wine/cocktails/beer on draft all available as well as $5 mocktails. I started with a nice tart lemon strawberry mocktail. Our server was attentive and answered any questions we had and kept our water glasses full. Started with Moroccan sampler platter and bastilla-sweet/savory chicken in flaky phyllo dough. It was delicious, the cinnamon made it interesting! Sampler included warm toasted pita triangles, hummus, olives and eggplant "caviar"- ground up almonds with eggplant. My husband and I split the chicken tagine entree which was so tender we did not need a knife. Lemony with saffron rice it was more than enough. All amazing so far but the highlight of the meal was dessert ! Made in house by one woman-Miss Marilyn. So many mouth watering options, we finally decided on warm apple tart w/caramel sauce & vanilla ice cream and Key Lime pie Apple tart was a generous size with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream and perfect amt of caramel-hot out of the oven. Unbelievably good! Key lime pie had a buttery graham cracker crust and it was sitting in a beautiful lemon sauce. Tart and refreshing! Overall, a wonderful meal at Omar's and will definitely be back for the patio happy hour, Moroccan Mondays or a celebratory meal with family and( friends!

Delicious food with great vegetarian and vegan options. Excellent service and nice ambiance. Delicious drinks as well. Be sure to check out Moroccan Mondays for an even more extensive tagine menu. We really enjoyed it!

For a foodie, I was in heaven. Omar's is special, delightful, unique and nostalgic with delicious food, awesome service and a lovely atmosphere. My friend and I were practically giddy to finally eat here. We were sat immediately on a Tuesday night around 6. It did start to get busier later. The inside is so cute with seat covers, plates that don't match and a hole in the ceiling to keep the integrity of the original building. Ok...not a hole but where they used to drop the hay from the 2nd floor to the 1st since it was a carriage house. It's all protected so no one will fall. Izzy was wonderful and very patient with us. We started with an endive salad. Wonderful flavors and despite all that is in the salad it was very mild tasting. It even had gorgonzola cheese and a lemon Dijon dressing. For entrees we had to try the Moroccan Chicken Tangine and seared tuna. Wow!! Wonderful presentation especially the chicken. The meat fell off the bone. The tuna was perfectly cooked. We also got some bread and garlic butter with our meal. This was probably one of my top 10 favorite meals and experiences I have had. Highly recommend. They do have a burger special on Wednesday nights. I will be back for that. They also have a HH until 6. They have a patio but I feel like all the charm is inside. We had a wonderful experience and just when we thought it couldn't get better, Chris the Assistant Manager brought over some champagne since it was our 1st time. Nice touch on the customer service. The only con is parking since you are in Norfolk. But they do have valet parking. I cannot wait to go back.

As we stepped in from a dreary day into this cozy little nook, we were pleasantly greeted by the friendly host, Chris. The aroma wafting throughout the establishment evoked an immediate mouthwatering sensation reminiscent of the flavors of our trip to Morocco. We knew we had picked the right place as it was a cozy intimate atmosphere with dimmed lighting and upbeat but relaxing background music. We ordered the Labneh appetizer, potato chip encrusted flounder, the chicken tagine, and the bread pudding! The Labneh was packed full of flavor, with a savory yogurt, olive oil, and possibly goat cheese and other spices served with Zaatar scallion pancake wedges. The chicken tagine was so tender it came right off the bone and it, too, exuded a panoply of spices. The potato-chip encrusted flounder was light and had a thin crispy texture to balance the light flaky flounder. To top off our delicious dinner was a healthy serving of the mouth-watering bread pudding drizzled with English cream and dark, rich chocolate! The ambiance, the fare, and the service was outstanding and left us with one of the most satisfying dining experiences we have ever had! Chris was very accommodating and knowledgeable! He even made wonderful recommendations, which we ordered. So he was spot on about recommendations and are grateful we took him up on them! The bread pudding was light but decadently drizzled with cream anglaise and dark chocolate, which made for an impeccable conclusion to a robust and satisfying dinner. We also ordered blueberry lavender mocktail, which was quite refreshing!!! Highly recommend as the overall dining experience is second to none. The owner Yasmine was very nice to take the time to explain the history of Omar's Carriage House and how it has evolved. Cannot say enough great things about this place except that it is unparalleled when it comes to fine dining!

I had won a gift card on IG and Yasmine expeditiously responded to my email regarding making a reservation this evening. They open 5pm Mon- Sat; 10am -2pm on Sunday. Yasmine was so nice & presented me with the beautiful gold envelope with the gift certificate upon being seated. Ambiance : It is an old carriage house from the 1940s. The original hay chute is open to the first floor but there are bars and a barrier for safety for those dining upstairs or downstairs. It's a charming quaint restaurant with character & simple elegance. For those that want to enjoy happy hour from 4pm-6pm there is a bar & large covered back patio seating. I am unsure if the upstairs is strictly for private events but Yasmine allowed us to look upstairs. It's a great space to hold an intimate wedding, birthday, bridal or baby shower or any special occasion. There isn't an elevator to the second floor & the restrooms are located downstairs. SERVICE: We dined on a Wednesday at 6pm and it wasn't crowded or super busy. Maybe due to the rain/poor weather but it was nice to dine in a quiet atmosphere. It was a very pleasant and calm enjoyable dining experience. Tables were bussed quickly & efficiently in a non disruptive manner. Our server Chris was pleasant and helpful with the menu. He also informed us it's burger night on Wednesdays: $10 burgers & $15 or $17 for bison burgers, as well as listed the specials-duck confit tacos or wonton something. He also checked in on us. Food: apps: Labneh - a new appetizer that has scallion pancakes with a yogurt dip with cucumber, tomato salad & zaatar. 5/5 flavorful comes with 8 triangles of scallion pancakes. complimentary bread roll each with garlic butter delicious! Slightly firm on the outside, soft on the inside (how I like it). MMMMMM.. good! 5/5 Potato chip encrusted flounder - a good portion, the creamed kale & roasted garlic was tasty. Chicken tagine- which was cooked in a tagine and arrived with its cover & presented once the cover was taken off. The chicken was so tender the bones came off easily. It came with saffron rice and it was very filling. We both couldn't finish our entrées so we boxed them to go. They do offer mocktails. I had the blueberry lemonade which was made from scratch. Desserts: My sister & I split the bread pudding. It was large enough and honestly if I had ordered it just for myself, it would have been too much. It's perfect for sharing, soft and soaked with English cream sauce & chocolate drizzle and whip cream. It was really good. All their desserts are made in house. Burger- I ordered one to go for my husband. It's a great restaurant for a calm, simple elegant atmosphere with history & wonderful food! Parking : street parking & valet parking Just make sure to read the street signs.

My favorite thing about Omar's is the ambiance. It feels like 1800's Norfolk which puts you in a different place in time. We started off with water and bread, which was good but needed the garlic butter to amplify it. The seared duck was amazing and filling. Wanted to try dessert but didn't have much room for it. Overall, I will be back to try the brunch when back home.
