“ Great Mutton and chicken Shuwa I have ever tasted here in Nizwa.If you know any other restaurant that offers better than here then pls inform me so I can compare heheh! Fast and friendly service. ”
“ Everything we ordered tasted incredible, the prices are very reasonable and the food comes out fast. Not much English speaking but the menu is in English so it’s fine. The lamb barbecue roast beef, bread charcoal chicken, biryani rice, and labneh honey pizza were incredible, and we both ordered juices that were very good as well. Easy to park outside the restaurant, they have both seated tables and cabins for eating on the floor. ”
“ Tasty and very tender chicken and mutton mandi. Good place for rice and meat cravings. ”
“ The restaurant has decent food which is fresh. The atmosphere is not of very high status but the cabins for sitting on the ground are OK. They have outside sitting space too but the sound of the speaker for football matches projected on the cmscreen can be blaringly high. Overall, the food and service is fine. ”
“ Details- Average food and service. Mutton was good. Details- We had the lamb broth, roasted mutton, camel stew, and three kinds of rice. Lamb broth was excellent. Mutton was tender and good. Camel was tough. Too chewy. Rice was average. I could not tell the difference between the three kinds. Tomato sauce was average. Food came quickly. No interaction after the food arrived. Limited English. Two toilets. Restaurant was clean. ”
“ Al Rawabi Restaurant in Nizwa serves mouth-watering Yemeni cuisine. The camel meat curry, paired with a variety of rice options, is particularly delightful. The meal starts with a hot, tasty soup that I couldn’t resist finishing immediately. Their veg salad plate is fresh and flavorful. The service is fast, and the staff is friendly. I always make it a point to have a hearty meal here whenever I visit Nizwa. Another favorite of mine is their chicken sharouk, a generously sized shawarma. Highly recommended for a delicious and satisfying dining experience. ”
“ Fantastic food! We have been here several times and from the fresh food that arrives quickly, to the friendly service and good prices, we will continue to come again and again. I can highly recommend the mix grill or meat tikka. Also, don't forget the bread which can be eaten with their delicious hummous or spicy salsa (see picture). Love this place! ”
