“ Good food. The billing is confusing. Your bill is calculated like this: - menu price - tax 8.875% - Multiply this total by 10% as a “service fee” - Multiply again by 4% as a card fee, if paying with card So e.g. if your menu price is $100 and you pay with card, then at most restaurants your bill would be $108.88. Here, it is $124.55. And this is not well marked on the bill since the fees are mislabeled as tax in a few places. The point is pay with cash and be aware your bill will be subtotal plus tax, plus 10% of that amount. ”
“ Came here because it was very lively so I knew the food must be good. All round delicious food at fair prices. My favorite dishes were the beef kebab and the pilaf which I could eat everyday. Were recommended by people to try the kompot drink which was a great accompaniment. ”
“ We have lunch there. Took manti and salad. Food was ok, meat for manti was not best, service was good. But they did not mention in the check that they already included service 10 % on top of your food so if you tip later 20 % you can calculate how much overtip you do :) prices is no crazy so it was not big impact for us so I saw it but I decided say nothing. But if you bill is big it is important to know and they should mention it. Also 4 % charge on cards which also was untold. ”
“ We loved Omar Khayyam. After a long day at the beach, this was the perfect meal. This place’s ambiance is pretty and kinda fancy. Our waitress was so kind and amazing! We were a group of 7 and ordered 2 fish, 2 Plov, manti, 2 salads (carrot and tomato), potato and mushroom, quail kebab, 2 kompot. We loved everything. The whole grilled fish on the menu was so well cooked and came with a side dish. The Plov flavor blew us away. The simple potato and mushroom was such a great side dish, full of garlic flavor. The salads were the freshness we needed. The experience was one of a kind and still very affordable for a large group to taste many dishes. We highly recommend coming here anytime you’re in the area. One of us was dairy free and we told the waitress and it was easy to avoid dairy. ”
“ Everything has been excellent the last 2 times visited. Service extremely efficient and friendly. Food is out of this world. Definitely one of the best uzbek restaurants I have been to! ”
