Thinking about making a Khayyam Restaurant booking?
Khayyam Restaurant has a spacious dining area, with room enough for 120 diners and a menu with something to offer them all. The food here errs on the side of the traditional, with Persian dishes like chello khoresht ghorme sabzi and lamb shank baghali polo demonstrating the kitchen’s commitment to serving the classic combination of meat and spice that underpins Iranian dining. Of course, Birmingham diners are well acquainted with the food of the Middle East, but in Tenant Street’s Khayyam Restaurant they delight in the kitchen’s interpretation of the fragrant spices of traditional Persian cooking.
The food, however, is only half the story at Ladywood’s Khayyam Restaurant. The other half, of course, is the music. Home to weekly live music events and belly dance performances, this Tenant Street favourite has rightly built a reputation for being one of the city’s finest party places. Bringing together dancing, music and classic Persian flavours has proved itself to a be winning combination in central Birmingham and diners are effusive in their praise. Perfect for groups and fun for the family, a reservation is a must.
