This is not your typical Thai restaurant. Nam kao tod!!!!! Pla rad prik. Might want to stick with mild-moderate spice unless you need no warning.

Delicious inspired Greek food. I recently went to Greece with my cousin, so we wanted to reminisce. We ordered lamb, shrimp, sausage souvlaki/kebabs, chicory & delicate salad and the traditional/hummus. My cousin complained about the portions being small, but between 3 of us, we were satiated and had a little leftover. You probably have to order flat bread separately is my only complaint. They have an open kitchen with their flaming oven and grill. They also have soft serve!

Here’s their own description Oma’s Hideaway finds inspiration in the life and spirit of Chef Thomas Pisha-Duffly’s Oma, Kiong Tien Vandenberg. Her ability to adapt, to make the most out of limited resources, and to stay creative while projecting warmth and brightness is the guiding force behind Oma’s Hideaway.
We serve bright, funky, playful food influenced by the cuisine of Southeast Asia, and in particular the hawker foods of Singapore and Malaysia. We are delighted to offer thoughtful, handcrafted cocktails, both boozy and zero proof.
Oma’s Hideaway is an homage to all grandmothers, matriarchs, and grandchildren. We hope you feel as spoiled walking out of Oma’s Hideaway as Chef Tom felt as a child leaving his Oma’s house with a belly full of Kopi candy. I want to bring my brother here to eat when he visits.
