All I can say is wow! This restaurant has a lot of vegetarian options. They have the best Falafel in the town! The person at the counter( forgot to ask his name) explained me everything clearly. I loved their Sabich! Though the restaurant is downtown, they priced it very well. I just loved this place and will go again!
Yes Oasis! This unassuming nook by the comedy club on Harney will surprise you during lunch time! The crowd will rush in from 11-2, and you'll be sitting there scarfing down gyro, pickled cabbage, fries & homemade ketchup... Hummus, falafel, Kebab ..... You get the idea. There's not a thing I've tried here that I haven't liked. The folks who run it are a bit quirky and tend to get overwhelmed... But it's charming and definitely worth the wait. Soon you'll be back in, punching your rewards card and wondering what you ever did for lunch before you found the Oasis.
Holy Falafel Batman! This is some SERIOUSLY good Mediterranean eats.
I'm not particularly "into" falafel, but I am into good food, and thus spot ticks that box. I got the lamb pita special, and it truly blew me away. The goat cheese brought a nice creamyness to the pita, and the falafel itself was very flavorful. The mango sauce they have ...oh my wordddd it's to die for. Drizzle it on everything to take it up 3 notches.
At the time that I went, this place had about 50 5-star ratings. Not a single 4 star rating, and I could see why. The staff was super friendly and incredibly helpful, valuable help as well! Not just lame recommendations that don't give you much info.
The inside of the place is a little funky looking, but don't let that deter you from getting some really amazing food.
Stuff my life into that pita /10
One of my favorite place for lunch. Expecting them to be opened during weekends and evenings as well.
So awesome to eat one of my Iowa City favorites in Omaha!!!! Food is exactly like it is at the flagship. Now have my place to stock up on hummus.
Amazing! Everything tasted tangy and fresh. I felt like I wanted to try one of everything on the menu. Here's the rundown of what I did try:
Falafel: crispy on the outside, perfect on the inside. Definitely leaves Amsterdam in the dust.
Hummus: a tiiiiiiiiny bit spicy. Not an issue for anyone with a normal palate, but a heads up if you're sensitive to that because I would not expect it in hummus.
Babaghanoush: amazing. Smooth and less eggplanty than most I have had.
Tzatziki: chunky, more of the consistency of spinach artichoke dip than the usual yogurty dip.
Labneh: so good. Thick and tangy and yum
Zaatar fries: tastes exactly as you'd expect. Doesn't have the weird dryness of Amsterdam curry fries, but also not as crispy.
Pita: super soft and fluffy
Note that the dining room isn't anything special and you order at the counter.
I hate the taste of falafels okay, and their falafels were so delicious perfectly flavored and perfectly crispy for a nice crunch. I ordered the cauliflower loaded fries and they were absolutely spectacular! On top of that it was 100% vegan which is super hard to find in Omaha! On top of all of that it was so freaking amazing and easy to order online! Just look how delicious my lunch was, my only complaint is that they're only open for lunch!! I don't eat out for lunch often and I wish I had more opportunities to eat here.
By far the BEST place in Omaha for falafel, hummus, babaganosh, baklava, and pitas! Great prices and super friendly staff! They have an amazing selection of vegan items as well!!!
Very good Greek food, the bobaganoosh Is a must also the chicken Kafka is also really great, will go again!
OK, this type of food is not normally my kind of thing but it was absolutely delicious. My wife and I went for lunch and each got something different, both items were great. We are planning to come back very soon because it was so good and the people were so nice. Even if you think this isn’t your kind of food, you need to stop in and try it. I think they will change your mind.
