The Omar Khayyam restaurant, named after the famous Persian mathematician



The Omar Khayyam restaurant, named after the famous Persian mathematician and poet, is
Edinburghs finest Punjabi Indian, serving delicious cuisine since 1983. Located at the end of
Grosvenor Street and the Haymarket Junction is the epitome of West End elegance blended with
vibrant downtown Edinburgh. Some favour quality over quantity but at Omar Khayyam, the
philosophy is why not enjoy both? It is the generous portions of quality, authentic Punjabi Indian
dishes made with the finest Kashmiri spices that have made the restaurant such a favourite over
the past quarter of a decade.

Omar Khayyams specialities include the mouth watering Karahi Chicken or the classic Tikka
Massala, made from the very best garlic, ginger, pimento and selected spices. The restaurants
most loved dish has to be the Omar Khayyam Special Indian Curry, offering diners a unique blend
of peaches, pineapple and tomato complemented, of course, with the finest of spices. The
extensive menu also boasts a list of old Indian favourites including Kormas and Massalas. For those
that like a fiery dish, see the Omar Khayyams hot section that includes classics such as the Madras
or swelteringly scrumptious Vindaloo.

For 8.95, the Omar Khayyam provides the perfect business lunch Monday to Friday from noon
until 2pm, which comes in three courses, for those in and around the centre of Edinburghs
splendid West End. The restaurant is also excellent for larger parties, with groups of up to 150
people very welcome.

Close to the restaurant in Edinburghs Murrayfield Stadium, home of Scottish rugby, just a miles
stroll from Omar Khayyam. George Street and Princess Street are a mere minutes walk from the
restaurant for those wishing to sample Edinburghs fantastic shopping or wonderful nightlife
scene. Edinburghs Haymarket station is also walking distance from the restaurant.
