The Kitchen Restaurant مطعم ذا كيتشن — Restaurant in Muscat

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Saturday brunch at the Kempinski Hotel's kitchen restaurant, featuring a delightful spread of Arabic cuisine, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish.

Ambiance: As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor was elegant yet comfortable, with soft lighting and tasteful furnishings. The layout allowed for a relaxed dining experience, making it a perfect spot for both families and couples.

Service: The staff at the Kempinski were exceptional. From the moment we were seated, our server was attentive and friendly, providing us with a warm welcome. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. Throughout the meal, they checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed, but they were never intrusive.

Food Selection: The Saturday brunch featured an impressive array of dishes showcasing Arabic cuisine. The spread was abundant and catered to all tastes. There were traditional mezze options like hummus, tabbouleh, and baba ganoush, served with warm pita bread.

The hot dishes were a highlight, including succulent grilled kebabs, flavorful lamb dishes, and fragrant rice pilafs. The brunch also included fluffy scrambled eggs and crispy bacon for those who prefer a mix of international flavors.

For dessert, the selection was equally delightful, with traditional Arabic sweets like baklava and maamoul, alongside rich chocolate cakes and creamy cheesecakes.

Beverages: The brunch also included a variety of beverages. We enjoyed freshly squeezed juices and a selection of teas and coffees. The staff was quick to refill our drinks, ensuring we always had something to sip on.

Overall Experience: My Saturday brunch at the Kempinski Hotel was a fantastic experience. The combination of delicious Arabic cuisine, excellent service, and a beautiful setting made it truly memorable. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a relaxing meal with a taste of the Middle East, I highly recommend visiting the kitchen restaurant at the Kempinski Hotel. I can’t wait to return for another...

Amazing food! Amazing service! Amazing ambiance!

Apart from the fly that landed in the drink of the person I was with, everything was truly spectacular!

(Note: If you are going to have an outdoors component to your services, please hire someone to use organic pesticide, which is safe, and can/may last upto six months. This will reduce the number of insects flying around significantly).

The buffet had a great selection of international cuisines, and it genuinely felt like each dish was perfectly cooked by a designated chef. Delicious was definitely the overall theme.

Service is impeccable. However, we were randomly presented with the bill during our meal. I wonder if they thought we were going to runaway without paying?

To confirm again though, no one was rude, or inappropriate in anyway, it was just a very odd situation.

It definitely is expensive though. Whether it's worth the money or not is definitely up for debate, but I personally felt the quality of the food was worth the money.

I've been here several times, and I finally decided to review it at what I am assuming is its best. I look forward to dining at The...

Quality of Seafood and beef is good. Grill is good. A little lacking in overall such as no thongs available for customers to pick up food, we either use hand or the staff use hand (with gloves) to pick it. Especially during this pandemic period, this is no good. The other packing part, food labelled as steam dumplings, but all we can see is sauces and when asked, almost no one no where is the dumpling. It was actually still cold but was already served. When it comes to taste, the dumpling is not edible standard (the dough is not kneaded properly and filling is also not blended properly). Service wise was good. They tried to send in another basket of the dumplings but the taste just don't make it. We complaint the soup is tasteless and they immediately look into and have it replaced with proper one.

So overall happy with the service and some...
