 The Mediterranean Grill buffet is quite a sight... by DesertRat This is the rather sumptuous-looking Intercontinental answer to the hotel coffee shop. Marble, wood, Maroccan tiles, and thick damask table linens are everywhere. Clearly, no expense was spared when this restaurant was put together. The atmosphere is quietly, though casually, elegant.
For my money, the seafood offerings are probably the best, especially the giant prawns (shrimp). The buffets groan with superb terrines and oh-so-complicated meat and fish mouses in aspic, mini-lambchops, bits of this and that en croute, stunningly carved vegetables and melons, the whole gamut of "fancy" food is on offer here.

Well, we are lovers of a combination of Arab and Pakistani food (the latter incorrectly clustered with Indian food) and will find out the best places even if we are a total strangers in the land. In order to distinguish Pakistani restaurants from Indians, look for names like Pak-Arab, Pak-Oman, Sindh-Punjab, Frontier, Afghan, Karachi Darbaar, Karachi Deli and so on. Also, Pakistani restaurant have middle-eastern flavor to them The restaurants may be small, but the food is great.
We almost always go for Arabic Hammoos and Mushawis (bbqs), Sindhi Chicken Biryani (spicy rice) from Pakistan's province of Sindh, Chicken Karahi, nihaari, Frontier Grills, Chapali Kababs, that is, meat, meat and more meat - grilled, tandoori, bbqed, does not matter.

All the hotels have fanatstic buffets every night including seafood, Indian, Omani. They are very cheap about £10.00 a head. Alcohol is expensive.

by Geoff_Wright Not really a restaurant, but even better! At the end of each course we would go somewhere 'exotic' for our 'fuddl', or picnic. This is a picture taken at Seeb in 1975. Can you spot me haha!(enlarge the photo please.
Some of the students would go to the local market and purchase vegetables and meat - usually chicken or mutton - and produce a delicious meal. This was usually washed down with coke or Seven-Up. For afters fresh fruit or melons. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
