AL ANGHAM RESTAURANT

Near and Middle East cuisine restaurant €€€

Situated in the extension of the opera house, of which it shares the same refined and graphic architectural style, Al Angham is an ode to Arab-Omani cuisine in its refined version.

THE JUNGLE

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine €€

It's the only restaurant of its kind in Muscat. We are in a jungle, from the graphics to the Indiana Jones-style decor, especially at the entrance of the restaurant, a little less in the dining room, which is a shame. A bit disappointed also that the theme is not really pushed into the plates since the dishes remain classics: salads, burgers, pizzas, grilled meat and fish. To sum up, the address is nice for families with youngsters who will love the path through the jungle and the tropical showers to water the trees.

AROOS MUSANDAM

Near and Middle East cuisine restaurant

The decor is a little more gleaming than average, but make no mistake: this is the most modern, Western-style restaurant in town, and the one to go to if you're tired of the coffee-shop atmosphere. But make no mistake, the menu remains that of a good coffee shop at a very low price, with the usual range of fresh juices and Arab and Indian dishes, plus French fries, rice and salads. But the main attraction is the lobster, prawns and fresh fish, depending on the catch of the day.
