We arrived late but the ever-polite staff welcomed us and provided the full service even though it was past home time when we left. The food here is exceptional and I mean that in every sense. I've tried 'local' food at other places but the quality and flavours were excellent. The camel biryani is a must-try dish and the frankincense... More

We were really keen to try Omani food. The decor is excellent, the waiters are attentive but the meat wraps we had didn't taste at all like beef ( which is what we were told it was), Nor was it very flavourful. Prices are average - same as most places in muscat. My colleague's fish was the best we'd tasted... More

We had dinner twice here during our trip to Muscat. This intimate Arabic restaurant has a "Thousand and one nights" feel to it. Try the Shuwa sandwich or the Shuwa meat with rice to experience a real Omani dinner. The waiters were lovely if a bit slow. The deserts were mouthwatering. Try the Umm Ali (Not on the menu) or...

The food options for vegetarians are few. The cooking style is fusion. The colors and set up is vibrant. The service decent. Good to take visitors. No alcoholic beverages sold. The Omani inspired dishes seem to be liked by all open to meat eaters and sea food lovers. Lot of effort to design the menu and the place. Must do... More

Best Omani restaurant in town. unfortunately often empty but well worth the price. Non expensive with nice decor. Parking is sometimes a problem and outdoor seating would have been lovely.

All the staff is unbelievable. They are very kind. The menu is nice itself, huge choice of fusion middle east and real Omani food. You can find also the camel! The quality is very good. The size perfect and the juice are really delicious. The price is the most correct I founded. I could go all the evening!
