High Risk

Omar Khayyam Cafe has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The latest inspection on file is from Feb 19, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around four violations to closer to eight violations.

“Establishment is not free of harborage or conditions” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

Compared to other Brooklyn restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
