Omar's Pitas & Platters

SO good! I passed by on my way to another store and saw the reviews were great so I decided to try it for lunch. I told the cashier it was my first time and I was deciding between the crispy chicken and the jerk chicken and she recommended the jerk chicken.I had the platter with jerk chicken and white, spicy white, and Omar's signature sauce. I meant to ask for sauces on the side so I could try them individually but forgot to ask so definitely recommended doing that. I tried the French fries and mozzarella sticks as well; both were fine but the real star of the show was the platter and the drinks (they have Palestinian Cola!). I'd recommended trying the spicy chicken first with sauces on the side, that's definitely what I'll be doing next time.Interior is small but nice and clean. No space to eat inside but there's outdoor seating.

Omar's Pitas and Platters is a solid new addition to Alexandria's late-night food scene, offering quick Mediterranean bites when you're on the go--especially if you're heading to or from the Metro after a night out. The vibe is all about convenience, and their menu has plenty of classic options to satisfy those post-party cravings. I went with the Chicken Pita, which had a soft, steam-kissed texture and came paired with a vibrant Mediterranean salad (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers) and a side of fries. The salad was fresh and crisp, but the flavors didn't quite pop for me. The fries? A little more salt and warmth would have worked wonders! Unfortunately, the wrap itself felt a bit dry and could've used a touch more seasoning to bring everything together. Nothing was *bad*--it just felt like it needed a little more love in the flavor department. Still, Omar's gets points for being open late and serving up quick meals when options are scarce. With a bit of fine-tuning, it could easily become a go-to for locals and late-night wanderers alike. Pro Tip: Ask for extra sauce or seasoning on your wrap, and maybe a quick reheat if it's not piping hot. Keep those fries crispy!

Top shelf halal carryout, where an easy-peasy web app connects you with everyday exuberant customer service. And the food: the lamb was excellent. And the falafel. And the hummus. And your pick of sweet custom choices. Order online first time. At pickup, ask what's great. Order that next time. Repeat.

Omar... you did that! I stopped in cause ya girl loves some Medi FOOD! I wasn't sure what to get so I went for the mixed platter & next time imma grab the jerk platter. The hummus... BUTTER!! The young lady at the register was very accommodating and helpful; so was the young man making the food. The place is small but don't you dare count them out otherwise you'll be missing out!!! The prices are great as well. Drop in and see for yourself

4.5 stars. Fantastic food. I ordered the mixed platter and the lamb and chicken was delicious. Grilled perfectly and packed with flavor. They have a variety of sauces you can choose from and the ones I tasted were great. And the portions were generous for its pricing . Friendly staff and quick service. Would definitely recommend.

The jerk chicken platter is incredible! The service is great, and you get enough food for two meals.

This place is delicious and well priced. Service was great and portions were huge for the price- my husband could not finish his mixed platter for $12. There were tons of good add ons and a couple fun options like jerk chicken or BBQ if you wanted to mix things up beyond the normal Arab staples.

I really wasn't going to do this review because of the price of the meal but after having that jerk chicken and lamb combo platter I was just amazed i actually enjoyed the meal a lot! I will say charging 50 cents a topping is a bit unfair but the food makes up for it I guess. But yea food was fire!!

Food is amazing, humus is to die for literally. Great staff and even better food! If I could give it 10 stars I would. Highly recommend this place to anyone.
