What Where to Eat in Salalah

A person who is adventurous at heart is either a traveler or a food lover or both. If you have what and where to eat as your priority when you plan to travel, Salalah in Oman is the place for you. In this most extraordinary place in the Gulf area, Salalah is the place for your search of what and where to eat.

Among the places of what and where to eat, Kargeen is definitely worth mentioning. It cannot be pinned down to be called a restaurant, bistro or coffee-house, but it is probably a combination of all three. With three outlets in the city, the Kargeen serves French onion soup and Salade Nicoise and it also serves humous and mezze. It is as popular for pizza as it is for Chicken Tikka.

Where you eat also matters a lot. The seating arrangements in the Kargeen remind you of a Bali or Java restaurant than a typical Arab restaurant. Located in the Madinat Qaboos Shopping Center courtyard, this eatery consists of huge tents under which benches full of cushions covered in Bedu woolen weavings are ready for guests to sit and partake of some of the most amazing blends of food and drink.

According to some patrons, the chocolate fudge cake covered in a Salalah-special hot chocolate sauce wins the battle single-handedly. Another what-to-eat item is the legendary camel's milk which has supposedly all the qualities you can expect from a dairy product. Camel's milk is the traditional source of strength of the Bedouins. It is healthier than cow milk and is half as fatty. Also, the sugar content is less. This makes camel milk perfect for diabetics. This food item is available everywhere in the city.

Sea food is another category of food that one cannot do without on a visit to Salalah. The variety of the sea food is mind blowing. What more to eat in Salalah? The samboosa, Kargeen salad and the New Orleans steak with sheeshas to smoke into on the side are the usual scenes in many food joints in Salalah.
