Bab-Al-Hind — Restaurant in Muscat

From the moment you walk in, everything about this restaurant resonates around mediocrity.

When we got there it was relatively empty, yet there was nobody to greet us at the door, which is strange to witness at an establishment portraying itself as upscale.

Either they are severely understaffed, or the service team just aren't as bothered with being attentive towards their guests. It took quite a while for us to actually have someone approach our table with a menu. It seems an endemic problem too - the diners on table next to us had to exit the table, quite annoyed, and approach the wait staff themselves and question them why nobody was attending to them at all, seeing as approximately 15 minutes had passed since they sat down at their table!

Food takes an absolute age to reach the table. Our appetizers took about 35 minutes to be served. Even simple mocktails took upto 25 minutes to get ready and be served to us. Having never seen this before, I decided to question the staff about this, to which their answer was verbatim - "it's a complicated cocktail to make". It really wasn't, but I chose to let it go.

The entrees took exactly an hour to reach us, which is exceptionally poor considering we'd just ordered 2 main courses, one of which was just daal.

Coupled with the fact that the food in itself was utterly ordinary and nothing to write home about, an all encompassing feeling of regret was the only thing we left that restaurant with after hastily asking for the check.

There was one extremely apologetic staff member who was speaking with us towards the end, and he even comped one of the drinks we ordered which really wasn't good at all (the one with the complicated recipe). But real questions must be asked of executive management and the restaurant manager, who was not really visible during the entire time. It seems as though the staff have been left to their own devices without effective leadership. Even the kitchen seemed understaffed if I'm perfectly honest, considering the massive waiting times for relatively simple to prepare food.

I'd say absolutely avoid until they get their...
