Omar Khayam - Birmingham

Service was very slow... Took 10 minutes to order a drink. 10 minutes for the drinks to come and then we had to ask to order food after another 10 minutes. Staff just kept disappearing into the kitchen. Poppadoms and chutney tray were nice. Rice and ban bread OK but the curries had been made with lots of pepper which left a horrible taste in the mouth and gave us indegstion The worst was the chicken jalfrezi it was like eating grit. We had been asked just after the meals arrived was everything alright and at that stage it was as the pepper effect had not kicked in. The all staff disappeared. The next time we saw anyone was when they came to clear away, at which point I told them about the awful pepper taste. Another member of staff came to see us and basically accused us of trying to not pay for the Jalfrezi which was not the case. He was very sarcastic and patronising. When I said about the pepper he agreed that they used a lot of pepper in it and when I said that that is not the way to do it, he sarcastically said 'so you know better than us then ' There was no point in any further discussion so we paid the bill, no apology and left and will not return. So beware... Don 't give them feedback!

Fantastic food as ever, very lucky to have this fab restaurant so near! Really worth a visit and always look forward to our next meal there!

We normally eat in here as the place has lovely decor and my son likes the fish tank. Main attraction is the food though, which is original and the menu has lots of variety as well as the favourites. Last time we had the Indian fish and chips which was a really good twist on this. I also love the puri and they do a great veggie thali, which you can't get everywhere. Another plus for me is that they don't use loads of oil. The staff are great and will have a chat or leave you to it if you prefer. Great for a family birthday or romantic meal out.

I’ve had several takeaways from here and and always been brilliant. Also eaten in when we could and was equally as good. Far better than anywhere in Selly oak. Recommended. Have the shai chicken

This restaurant has amazing food full of flavour and good price. We use them alot for takeaway and have it delivered. Have eaten in a couple of times and its been beautiful. Very friendly staff Highly recommend.
