Omani food is all about slow-cooked flavors and warm hospitality, and this tasting session dives right in. You’ll try classic Shuwa – tender meat or chicken marinated in spices and buried underground for 8–24 hours, wrapped in banana leaves, served with fragrant Qabuli rice that soaks up every bit of taste. Sweet Omani halwa comes next – sticky, nutty, honey-saffron goodness with that secret family twist, paired with strong coffee. Lighter Zanzibari-inspired bites like crispy samosas, fluffy mandazi, spicy kachori and katlisi keep things fresh. Fresh-baked Omani bread arrives sliced with toppings – cheese, honey, dates or thyme – perfect for dipping. Spiced tea with ginger, saffron, cardamom and cinnamon warms you up, while grilled mashkak skewers (meat, chicken or squid) in tangy tamarind-like sauce bring the savory finish. Vegetarian options available – just honest, delicious Omani home cooking in one relaxed sitting.
