New Omani restaurant set to open on 18th November Street

Muscat – A new restaurant serving over 30 Omani dishes is set to open on 18th November Street.

At the soft opening of Agha’s Kitchen on Thursday, it laid out a selection of Omani preparations from its menu for more than 50 guests, including food vloggers and food critics.

Among the dishes served were three varieties ouzi – lamb, beef and seafood – which became the main attraction of the evening.

The meat, shrimp, crab and fish in the dishes served in the restaurant will be locally sourced to maintain quality and freshness. The meat, marinated in rose water and saffron, was tender. All three ouzis were garnished with roasted nuts and raisins stuffed in freshly cut pineapple.

Addressing guests, Majeed Agha, owner and chef of the restaurant, said, “Omani food has been restricted to family gatherings. The cuisine of Oman needs more outlets. Here at Agha’s Kitchen, we aim to serve the best Omani dishes. Though we want to stick to original flavours, for the future we are open to fusion dishes.”

Scheduled to open soon with 35 Omani dishes on its menu, the restaurant has been offering home-delivery. It will also have a bakery section where Omani women will be engaged to bake
