Omani cuisine is truly special, with fantastic flavours and varieties of dishes; you'll be impressed, especially if you like Middle Eastern food. Firstly, a must-try while in the country is Majboos, also known as Kasaba and Makboos. It's a traditional mix of rice and vegetables, meat, or chicken and lots of spices. 'Shuwa, a favourite dish in Oman, meaning 'grilled meat' in Arabic, is often prepared for special occasions like Eid. It's marinated in banana and palm leaves and then placed into an underground sand oven where it's cooked over one or two days. Though a long process, it produces some of the tastiest meat you can imagine. It's customary to include Omani bread, of which there are several types, alongside many traditional dishes. Omani cuisine, like other Middle Eastern dishes, includes delicious marinated meats on skewers. In this part of the world, they are known as 'Meshkak' and are mainly made with beef, mutton or chicken and then grilled. To try the best in Omani cuisine, check out the Ubhar Restaurant in downtown Muscat.
