About the restaurant

When you come to Opheem, you get an insight into the inner workings of my mind. We’re striving to push the boundaries with Indian flavours, but with cooking techniques from all over the world, some traditional, and some very modern. At Opheem, I’ll be using the same paints as I’ve always done, to create a very different picture, on a very, very different canvas. Why? Because to evolve and adapt is what makes us human, and cooking is what sets us apart from the animals.

We had a fabulous night at Isaacs; we went on a Thursday night when there was a singer and singer/pianist and they performed songs from musicals. The food, service and entertainment were all outstanding, we will definitely return.

The experience was amazing from the moment we pulled up. The restaurant is tucked out of the way from the hustle and bustle of the city which is great. 2 of us attended and was seen to straight away. The service was fantastic and very friendly. The food was absolutely incredible and definitely value for money. Plenty of photo opportunities and a shop to the side of the restaurant topped everything off as we were able to get a little keepsake for our visit. Staff were amazing, the energy in the venue is absolutely infectious. We will definitely be back.
