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.

My family and I came here for my birthday dinner and it was amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly, especially Naz who looked after us so well. The food was, as usual, amazing. We love coming to the Omar Khayyam. Thank you!

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 the minute you walk in the restaurant the staff are so friendly and attentive . We were given as much time as needed with our order and even on one of the busiest days in Edinburgh we were not rushed out of the place . Plus the food was delicious. Absolutely recommend Omar Khayyam to everyone who appreciates great food and great service.
