Once upon a time on the road, we were heading east to enjoy our holidays. This trip would end up as the historical trip where the idea of an omelette place was born! After returning to our home-town of Amsterdam we started to develop our idea. Finally on April 27th 2013 Omelegg de Pijp opened its doors.

With our very capable father Cyrus on our side who built the entire restaurant we were able to start with very limited resources. Nevertheless we were confident this concept would succeed if we would put all our energy into it.

On August 15th 2015 the burning desire of a second Omelegg in Amsterdams city centre was realized and in 2019 our dreams of eggspanding internationally became reality with our lovely sister Sascha on board, managing one of the few female run restaurants in Berlin.

Unfortunately due to the global system error starting in 2020, we decided that letting go of Omelegg Berlin would favor the company as a whole. Even though we had to make this painful decision, we still feel proud that in a short amount of time in a new market and a challenging neighbourhood, we made Omelegg Prenzlauer Berg flourish. Omelegg Berlin was officially closed in April 2021. 

The never exhausting ambition to serve the best omelettes throughout the city became evident with our third Amsterdam branch, Omelegg Jordaan, expecting to open in March 2025. 

Today after 4 branches, while 3 remaining, with our father still on our side having built all Omelegg restaurants, we can surely state this journey has been a success indeed.

We, Faraz and Nima, are proud to run a family business with a great team that is always dedicated and determined to deliver great service and quality to our guests.

A huge shout out to all the hardworking chickens for producing those delicious fresh eggs we serve every day!
