    I’m usually a savory omelet person, but this is delicious!

    Took me a while to get used to the idea of a sweet omelette but can now never go back; however I do alternate with "omlet" too. The Medjool dates add a nice texture difference and they are sweet so no shekar in the chai.

    Perfect balance between sweet and savory, comforting and novel.

    Really good. I cut the my Medjool dates into four pieces each, so I had date in almost every bite. The hint of cinnamon was wonderful -- I used Sri Lankan (true) cinnamon; not cassia (which I suspect would have been too strong).

    This was surprisingly enjoyable. I would cut the dates into smaller pieces, however, to spread them out across the omelette.
