Gujarati Rasoi in Muscat brings the flavors of Indian Gujarati cuisine to Oman, but there’s some room for improvement. We visited with high hopes of enjoying an authentic Gujarati thali, and while the food was decent, it didn’t quite capture the traditional flavors we were expecting. The thali was satisfactory, and for those simply craving Indian food, it might serve the purpose.

The staff deserves a mention for being polite and attentive, ensuring a smooth dining experience.

With improvements in the seating arrangement, ambience, and authenticity of flavors, Gujarati Rasoi has the potential to become a go-to spot for Indian cuisine lovers in Muscat. For now, it’s a decent option for a quick, homely meal, deserving a 3-star rating for effort and...

Nonetheless, it is still worth trying, just my personal opinion that the weekday thali's are much better than the...
