About:Located in Renton, about 20 minutes south of Seattle, this little Middle Eastern eatery has been a favorite of the local Boeing employees for more than 20 years and it is no secret why. The food is delicious. The decor is not the draw here, so dress casual or drop in as you are. The Lebanese cuisine is flavorful. The kabobs are mouth-watering as are the specialty salads and the house specialty, Chicken Shwarma.

    Disappointing Food

    We ate lunch at the Omar Al-Khyam restaurant in Renton and sadly found the food to be a big disappointment. We both had the lamb kabob. The lamb was tough and chewy and was not flavorful in taste as one would typically expect from Lebanese food. The lamb was so chewy and flavorless that we initially wondered if they had made a mistake and given us beef instead. The rice had no saffron and was mixed with noodles. The pita bread was stale. We took most of the food 'to go', but the 'to go' food went straight in the trash when we got home, which I cannot remember having done in recent memory. The best part of the meal was the small salad we had beforehand…not enough. If you want good Lebanese food east of Lake Washington, we recommend the Mediterranean Kitchen in Bellevue.

    Omar's is a delightful little spot. The chicken dishes are wonderful, this is one of my favorite places to eat in Renton.

    Good food, service, and prices. Small, simple building, the only place to go for great middle eastern food in the Seattle area. I will continue to eat here and recommend it to my friends.

    As a middle-eastern immigrant, the food at Omar Al-Khyam is as close as you can get to the original food back home. When I eat there, I get an instant reminder of the food back home (if not better).
    Nice food, friendly service what else do we expect from a restaurant?. Go there, you won't regret it.
