Topic: Omar Khayyam, Haymarket, Edinburgh

[Stephen Lindsay]

I go through to Edinburgh several times a year to visit my pal and we always end our evening with a curry. This is the place we return to regularly, as it has proven to serve consistently good quality curries. Situated diagonally opposite Haymarket Station, it has been refurbished since I last ate there, and the white decor gives what was once a rather plain restaurant a modern airy look.

Thankfully the remodelling hasn't affected the quality of the food which is as good as ever. We both opted for a Chicken Madras and the curry was excellent. With a poppadom, onion and mango chutney starter, two rice, nan and two lagers the total bill came to ?33 which I feel was very good value. Next time I am there I will order something else and add my impressions to this post.

Strange, I've heard it's really bad. I'm told the best in Edinburgh by far at the moment is here http://www.khushisdiner.com

Bobby I would interested if you felt able to give that place a go as I would love to know what you thought of it. In the meantime I will email my friend regarding the link you mentioned and see if we can't give it a try when I am next through in Edinburgh (probably end of August)
