Advantages: wide range of food , tasty

Disadvantages: a bit expensive, have to choose main course according to the amount of people

I am going to tell you about my experience eating in an Indian restaurant called 'Omar Khayyam'.

In my recent ops, I had mentioned that we went to visit Edinburgh. And stayed at Hilton Grosvenor which very near to the Haymarket Station.

As the hotel is usually expensive for room service for food, we had decided to go to the restaurant to have our dinner.

We saw this restaurant named ‘Omar Khayyam’, which is situated on the same road as Hilton. I can't remember the road name but I think it was Grosvenor Street.

Anyway, we were all starving for a decent food. So we entered the restaurant. A warm welcome by the waiter. Made us wait in the waiting area whilst they set up the table. Please bear in mind that this restaurant is all smoking, which means no choice of non-smoking table.

We weren't bothered as we were starving. The waiter came back to get us in 10 minutes and sat us near the door. Everything was very clean. Nice maharaja style chairs. The tables were set with more than 1 sort of cutlery. We ordered the food, started off with popaddums and drinks. The menu was pretty big. You could get nearly all sort of Indian food and all sorts of alcohol and soft drinks.

So far so good. Then came to ordering the main course. This is where the catch is. As none of us has very big appetite, we decided to order a few main course dishes. But no, the waiter insisted that we have to order the x amount of main courses. What I mean to say is that if its five people and that include a kid, you still have to order 5 main courses. What a waste of money and food.

We did order the food in the end. There was a wide choice of Indian food. And I must admit that every main course we ordered was so tasty. We just couldn't complain.

When it came to paying our bill, it was a bit higher figure. But I suppose that depends on what you order.

So if you folks ever g
o there to eat, please be aware of this catch. I just thought I would let you know.
