Kurkum Restaurant — Restaurant in Muscat

The menu is very highly priced, and the food quality does not justify it. It's better to visit a five-star restaurant instead.

Positive Points:

The ambiance and decor are quite appealing, though at this price, there are even better dining options available. Nonetheless, it's a romantic setting, ideal for affluent couples seeking a pleasant evening. The mixed seafood soup was excellent, with perfect flavor, consistency, and temperature. The Kashmiri pulao was aromatic and delicious. The prawn poori was a creative concept and well-executed.

Negative Points:

The sweet corn soup lacked corn and was not good in taste. The dim sums were disappointing, especially considering the high price. The tamarind chutney didn't pair well, the taste was subpar, and the dim sum’s skin was too thick. The creamy almond chicken and Rajasthani chicken gravy were almost identical, with the only difference being the almond and cream content. Even the steward acknowledged this. The lentil yellow, meant to be dal fry, did not meet expectations. The seekh kebab was very bland.

Concerns:

The high menu prices are not justified by the quality of the food. Most dishes weren't made with the best ingredients, and two main courses tasted the same. At such high prices, each dish should be distinctly prepared, not just variations of the same gravy. The silverware was good, but the main course serving dishes looked cheap. High prices should ensure top-quality service and presentation. Despite the high charges, the stewards did not demonstrate proper food serving styles or knowledge of silver service. The restaurant lacks dedicated parking, valet service, and even a host or hostess to welcome guests.

In conclusion, the exorbitant menu prices are not justified. If it's a tourist destination, other nearby eateries should also charge high rates, which they don't. The high prices at this restaurant remain unexplained and...

Located a stone's throw from the Mutrah Souq on the waterfront corniche, this small and elegant establishment is possibly the finest Indian restaurant in Muscat.

The decor is a playfully eclectic melange of modern art and Omani heritage, reminiscent of the Place & People Museum nearby, and the service is polite, discreet and attentive.

While prices are on the higher end, the food is characterised by subtle and complex flavours, excellent ingredients, and thoughtful presentation. The tandoori quail and the wonderfully light and crispy fish samosas are especially...
