Turkish House Restaurant

Dining

Omani cuisine is halal meat-dominated, with Arabian and Indian influences easily traceable. Some of the typical local dishes include grilled meats, Shwarma, and Biryani. Muscat's seaside location makes for a heavy emphasis on seafood in local cuisine as well. Restaurants in Muscat are often located on hotel premises and cater primarily to expats and tourists (most locals favour cafés over fine dining). The variety of cuisine choices is, however, certainly impressive and ranges from traditional Omani to Indian, Pakistani, European, and Asian.
