Khayyam Restaurant

Very good food. We liked the kebab and the hummus. On time delivery was appreciated. more

Cheese Steak sub was very good, Roni pizza ok, bavlaka was not fresh. I thought is was a diff dessert but it was just misspelt. Also ORDERED pasta dish-meatball and ZITI with extra sauce - I got maybe 2 VERY SMALL meatballs cut in half, NO EXTRA SAUCE & Spaghetti INSTEAD of ZITI and it was just ok :-( more

So flavorful! more

Consistently great food. The huge portion on the Kebob Makhsoos is enough to share. Hummus is delicious, too. more

The pizza arrived on time, and was tasty, though a bit expensive. more

Great food, quick delivery, pleasant driver and staff. Highly recommended more

I've come here half a dozen times and enjoy having a local cheap eats with decent food and the option to bring my own wine. Many items are quite good including the egglant appetizer with mint, the dolmas, the rice with currents and carrots, and the lamb kebabs. Unlike the previous review, I haven't ordered anything that was inedible. I just preferred some dishes to others. There was one visit where we were seated near an incredibly rude and demanding customer, and noted that the waitress was unfailingly gracious despite the customer's behavior. That says a lot. Pros: tasty food, comfortable setting, bring your own beverage Cons: need to know what to order more

I had high hopes for Khayam. I love Persian food and have had wonderful Persian meals many times, especially at Reza's in Chicago. Lots of problems at Khayam: 1. store-bought white pita, which is thin and tasteless. 2. runny hummus 3. flavorless chopped salad 4. the rice (which is usually a highlight of a Persian meal) was undercooked and basically unseasoned. I expected a nice taste of dill and saffron. 5. the water tasted like dirt. 6. the restaurant was dark and cold--we kept coats and hats on. I realize it has only been in business a couple of months. Still, they really need to step up to the plate. Rami's, just down the block, towers over this place for fresh and tasty felafel, pita and hummus (Rami's, in fact, is the best hummus I have had outside of Jerusalem). Pros: Lunch value menu--5.99 entree includes rice, hummus, salad Cons: Bland food, freezing cold restaurant, nothing exciting more
