Omar Khayam Indian Restaurant, Northfield, Birmingham (Fully Licensed)

Would be a 4* review if you didn't have the huge fish in a tank way too small. Please resolve this. I'm sure the fish started off small but the fish is at a size that needs a pond. It can barely turn around. Please update if you find a solution for your fishy. The staff were friendly and pleasant. They catered for a medium sized group well, food didn't take too long. Everything ordered arrived. Some theatre with the sizzling plates. Fun but not required, I wouldn't say no if they did it again, but it might speed up service. Clean inside and a good location. My bhuna tasted nice.

Absolutely rude staff. We complained about the food on one occasion in a polite manner. We came again tonight to trt again and the waiter was so rude to us both.

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!
