Omars — Restaurant in Bradford

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I went to this restaurant alone, and since they were fully booked, they offered me a seat at what looked like their own staff table. I appreciated the gesture initially and thought maybe the food would make up for the informal setup. I ordered a potato paratha for £5 — sounds simple, right? What I got was a sad, dry, and almost empty piece of flatbread with hardly any trace of potato in it. No flavour, no spice (even though I specifically asked for it), nothing remotely close to what you’d expect from a proper stuffed paratha. It honestly felt like something they’d just thrown together without any care.

I politely mentioned the issue, expecting maybe a remake or even just an apology. Instead, the response was incredibly rude: “Eat it or don’t pay.” Not only was the food a joke, but the attitude was even worse. I felt completely dismissed and unwelcome — as if I was the problem for pointing out that I didn’t get what I paid for.

This place might survive on hype or regulars, but if you’re someone who actually cares about decent food and respectful service, I’d strongly suggest going elsewhere. There are plenty of places that serve real, flavourful parathas without treating you like a burden. Definitely not returning, and definitely not...

Omars - A Lovely, immaculately clean restaurant just behind the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford. The staff are fabulous- nothing is too much trouble. We had : Poppadoms and pickle tray for 2, Omars mixed Kebab and Meat samosas. We shared everything on the mixed kebab as there was more than enough for 1 and shared then shared the delicious crispy- not oily samosas. As if that wasn't enough we ordered the Omars Special curry with additional mushrooms- every item in this curry sang its own song, the flavours were excellent!! I have never had a more delicious curry and believe me, living Bradford for 60+ years, I've had a few!. My husband ordered Chicken Achari for his main course, he too enjoyed every delicious mouthful. Our mains were accompanied by the most amazingly light, fluffy and crispy based naan we've ever seen and one "normal naan covered allmost half of our table for 4!! Jug of sweet plain Lassi finished us off- literally. The lovely lady serving us was beautiful in her manner and most helpful in choosing our food, we couldn't have asked for anything more at all. Thank you so much Omars, we had a wonderful relaxing, tasty and not at all expensive meal- coming in at just over £40 for all of the above- what more can you ask for?? VERY HIGHLY...

Went here due to open until early hours but wish I had not bothered and starved. We ordered Poppadoms and pickle tray - mango chutney horrible, mint yogurt was curdled, onions tasted as if it was mixed with tomato ketchup. Chicken tikka starter - as dry as the Sahara desert!! Onion bhaji starter - looked as if it had been fried multiple of times, onions was tasteless and minimal inside. Mostly the mixture which they add to the onions. Mushroom rice - sloppy Chicken tikka masala - wasn't a masala dish at all. Hot spicy and definitely not creamy. Chicken tikka kebab - bland and dry (same as starter) Garlic and cheese naan bread - best bit about the meal!! Tasted lovely.

Hate leaving bad reviews. This originally came to £49.10 but I did complain about the kebab as that was not touched after the first bite. They did take that off the bill making it £40. If you like tummy ache and poos this is the place for you, otherwise keep walking by and don't copy me...
