    We were a bit early, but we were met at the door and taken to our table and from there onwards, our service, choice of for and drink were excellent. We will go back again and I'd recommend Omar Khayyam for friends and family. D

    We booked for 2pm but the restaurant did not open til 2.15… The service was good and the food was good but a little too spicy despite saying I didn’t want it to be too hot ! Overall it was a pleasant meal

    Ordered Lamb Jalfrezie, did not look like anything I’d had before, was colourless and not spicy 🌶️ at all, lamb was tender though, never had a disappointing meal here before

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    Service was prompt and courteous. Mushroom pakora was tasty. Kabul chicken curry, pilau rice and garlic naan were delightfully tasty, not spicy hot. Food was reasonably priced.

    Food was very basic not the best ive had. Also charged 1.30 for a takeaway box. I would've accepted to pay the cost of the box maybe 50p/£1. I feel £1.30 is just cheeky. Staff and service were excellent

    Omar Khayyam’s Chicken Shashlik is the definition of sizzling platter. Fantastic. They also have a nice selection of reasonably priced malt whiskies.

    booked a table for 4.30pm, didn't get seated till nearly 5pm. Took forever to get us menus then ages before we got our order taken. We got the feeling because we did the BYOB and we weren't buying their wine/drinks, we didn't matter. We had a concert to get to and by the time we eventually got our dinner we felt we had to rush eating it which was annoying as the food is good. We were there for nearly 2 and a half hours! They were under staffed, not enough waiters for the amount of tables they had. They need to address having more waiting staff when there is a big event on at Murrayfield.

    From a very warm welcome on entering to great service and really great, tasty, food. It is the same very high standards as it was 28 years ago on my first visit. I will be back again and very soon too. Thank you team Omar Khayyam for a great evening.
