I love good and seasoned food. The joloff rice was excellent and the fish was very tasty. This was my first time there and I spoke to the manager and reiterated how good the food was. The service was excellent and I don’t mind tipping, but I didn’t like the fact that I was billed 20 percent. Restaurants cannot assume we received top notch service. Sometimes no tip or a low tip would incentivize their workers to do better. Overall I will definitely return because the food was that good.

Food is very good. Tends not to be crowded when we go on early end, which makes us think the quality of the food may not be widely discovered. We’ve been to about 5 Indian restaurants on the upper east side and none is better and only one possibly is as good, but the service is better at Om. I drink a lot of water and my glass never got near empty!
