Omar Khayyam Restaurant is a Punjabi Indian restaurant at 1 Grosvenor Street in Edinburgh’s West End, opposite Haymarket station. The established dining room serves lunch and dinner in a lively, approachable setting. Its central location also makes it practical before travel, events or an evening elsewhere in the city.
The menu is rooted in Punjabi cooking, with chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetables prepared across curry, balti, karahi and biryani sections. Tandoori dishes use marinades of ginger, garlic, coriander, citrus and spices before charcoal cooking. These can be paired with basmati rice, salad, sauces and freshly baked breads.
Pakora, onion bhaji, samosa, kebabs and puri provide a broad set of starters for sharing. Main courses range from mild butter chicken to lamb Punjabi karahi and more assertive chilli dishes, while paneer, lentil and potato preparations give vegetarian diners several complete choices. Diners can choose both the main ingredient and the style of sauce across parts of the menu.
Mango kulfi and gulab jamun offer traditional sweet finishes after the spices of the main meal. The restaurant provides vegetarian and vegan options and can guide guests through halal or gluten related questions, but recipes use many common allergens. Anyone with a medical dietary requirement should discuss the current preparation with staff before ordering.
