I'm a regular at Omar Khayyam. I love middle eastern food and Omar Khayyam has always delivered when it comes to offering a fine dining experience. One of my favourites is the mixed grill; the range of meats on offer at a reasonable price is fantastic. On my last visit I tried meat Thali which is a dish that offers... More

I visited here with colleagues and clients. It was a Monday evening so overall, the restaurant was a bit quiet so we had good attentive service. We had 3 x mixed platter starters along with the usual poppadums and spiced onions. Everyone had a main meal and everyone had a couple of beers. The food was first class and overall,... More

I took the Mrs there on Saturday evening at about nine. Our African waiter was pleasant, friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. The starters and drinks were very quickly served, as were the mains and sides. The food was superb, surroundings and decor excellent. nb; We have visited this restaurant many times in the past. They do not like late diners. Arrive... More

We visited this restaurant on a trip to Edinburgh and if you like Indian food, a friendly atmosphere and attentive staff-don't go here! As a couple we love Indian food and have eaten in so many Indian restaurants I can honestly say this was one of the worst. The food was bland, the staff disinterested (to the point where they...

My boyfriend suggested going there for a lunch and as I walk past there every day and it always seems nice, I was eager to try even though I had heard many bad things about the service there. Before heading out we checked the website to make sure we get there before they stop serving the "lunch menu" - before... More

I stopped off here for a bite to eat while on business in Edinburgh. The staff were professional and the food was fine - the price was reasonable and the surroundings splendid. I was there early and it was quiet when I arrived but it is obviously popular with locals and visitors alike. The head waiter is on the ball... More

In this are you are surrounded by numerous restuarants,this is one of the oldest established in the area, the reason being I think is the great value for money and the service, but I must say I have only been there for lunch, I am too miserable to pay the evening prices, special lunches only available mon-fri, worth a try.

This was my first trip to the restaurant for at least 10 years and what a pleasant surprise it was for a three course lunch for £8.95. We both had chicken tikka for starters and you could see and taste they were freshly cooked. The same again I would say for the main course where my lamb bhuna was superb... More
