“Excellent food! Very friendly service with great recommendations. Best shashlik we’ve had in a long time. We tried some new Uzbek salads we weren’t familiar with before. Everything was exceptionally well seasoned and delicate.”
“We randomly stumbled upon Omar Khayyam while looking for somewhere to eat near Brighton Beach, and by the time I took my first bite of the eggplant salad, I knew we had gotten ridiculously lucky. The eggplant salad is an absolute must.”
“One of the best places in Brooklyn! If you are a fan of oriental cuisine, you will definitely go there. The food is just amazing, I love their fish and kebabs. They have delicious deserts too. The staff is quite polite and patient.”
