Irani House Restaurant — Restaurant in Muscat

Irani House Restaurant has been on my list for almost a year now and finally happened to tick it off.

Our visit was for a Friday lunch. There was a lot of people as expected.

When we saw the menu, our husband eyed on the Mixed Lamb & Chicken kebab with rice and I went for a Grilled Shari fish with Majboos rice. I personally requested for Saffron rice instead of majboos rice.

We were given some bread and a little portion of feta cheese, walnuts and some greens to go with the bread. This was on the house.

Our food arrived after a 30 min wait time. Mixed lamb & Chicken Kebab with rice - 8/10. The kebabs were juicy, flavourful and lip smacking good! The rice was okay. It had very minimal flavor .

The grilled Shari fish with rice - 6/10 Flavor wise, no complaints. While I was genuinely enjoying my food for a good two mins, I found scales in the fish that was failed to be removed. I brought this to the notice of our waiter and he was kind to arrange an alternative dish. But the catch was that would take another 30 mins time which we weren’t ready for. So we just cancelled the order and the waiter took back the dish.

Ended the meal...

After visiting the Iranian restaurant in Muscat, I must say that my experience was fairly satisfactory.

Overall, I would rate this establishment 3...

They baked deserts with cream are so nice and not too sweet. Over two days the food was consistently good and I was told it is reasonably priced too. The member of staff was also very friendly and professional throughout the...
