The best Indian restaurants Oman

Opened in 1984, Mumtaz Mahal boasts of having been voted the best Indian restaurant in the Sultanate 10 times. Perched high on the hill above Qurum Park, it offers a superb view of the city. The menu offers North Indian cuisine: chicken tikka massala, fish curry, tandoori shrimps, lobster soup with coriander... and a wide range of vegetarian dishes. During the mild season, we absolutely reserve a table on the terrace. Refined atmosphere, first class service and a world tour via the wine list.

Unlike Aram, his beige door neighbor, Kumar's colors are dark. The style is modern, hip and a little industrial, with a waxed concrete floor and lots of black accents on the ceiling and furniture. The terrace, on the other hand, is the opposite of the dining room: an oasis of serenity on the dazzling white esplanade of the elegant House of Musical Arts. The menu features fusion/Indian cuisine from lunch to dinner, including tandoori shrimp, lamb briyani and chicken massala risotto.

Aagan means courtyard and evokes a warm and hospitable place to share food with family and friends. And so it is with this chic Indian gourmet table in one of Muscat's finest palaces, whose menu has been designed by the highly acclaimed chef Rohit Ghai - a Michelin-starred chef at the helm of a leading London restaurant. He revisits and "dusts off" traditional Indian dishes with a contemporary twist that energizes the flavors! Wide choice of dishes à la carte and several menus - food and wine pairings available.

It is one of the very first restaurants to have opened in Khasab, so let's talk about a "classic". Longevity rhyming with regularity, the quality of the dishes is assured even for a banal burger. In truth, one comes especially for the grilled fish, served fresh of the day according to the fishing. The lobster is therefore seasonal. Impossible to fight against the white neon lights inside, so we sit quietly at one of the few tables on the sidewalk, satisfied to have located one of the only dining terraces of the Musandamian capital.

This restaurant is located right at the foot of Zaki Hotel Apartment and is very popular with locals, a sure sign of quality. Come here to eat, but also for the atmosphere, the meetings, the kindness of the staff... The menu is international and very varied with perhaps a predilection for Indian cuisine, but you can also find grilled fish, hummus or burgers. Beware of the sometimes very spicy dishes for sensitive people. No fuss, but excellent value for money. A safe address in Sur!

Dinner in Bukhara is like going on a trip. In addition to a menu featuring authentic North Indian cuisine, the setting is also a change of scenery, Bollywood-style in a chic and contemporary version. The kitchen is open and glazed, the chef and waiters are all Indian, all very professional and willing to advise you in the choice of dishes and the intensity of the spices. Eating with your hands is encouraged, aprons are then offered. Special mention for the Bhatti Ka Masala, a lobster marinated in Indian spices, grilled and smoked...a delight!
