Sur

Sur is a port city on Oman’s eastern tip. Its shipyards, which still produce traditional wooden vessels, played a pivotal role in Oman’s maritime past. In the city center, Sunaysilah Fort has 4 defensive towers around a courtyard. Exhibits at the Maritime Museum include ship models. Southeast of Sur, green turtles nest at Ras al Jinz Turtle Reserve. To the west, craggy cliffs surround verdant Wadi Bani Khalid Valley.

Hot pot restaurant
Restaurant
Zaki Restaurant is a casual apartment hotel with free Wi-Fi that offers delicious Omani and South Asian dishes, especially grilled fish. The restaurant in Sharqiyah Soor provides outstanding culinary delights with impeccable taste and an inviting atmosphere. Although the prices may be on the higher side, the exceptional food and dining experience make it worthwhile.
I visited this restaurant last Friday, around 3 p.m., after traveling from Muscat to Sur. The place was quite cozy and welcoming, and since we arrived late in the afternoon, it was not crowded. We were a group of six and ordered three plates of chicken shawaya rice. The portions were generous and more than enough for all of us, and the flavour was absolutely fantastic. To complement our meal, we had lemon soda with ginger, which was incredibly refreshing. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're visiting Sur—it’s a great spot for a relaxed and satisfying meal.

That meal you’ve had Oman. Would highly recommend this restaurant to One as it has a huge, varied menu. All the food was delicious as were the juices very reasonably priced and fast friendly service. Display can get a bit busy at times, but they have a lot of stuff working there so service is usually fast, although it did take some time for the food to arrive. Very reasonably priced. The sesame chicken was probably my favourite dish.

We kicked things off with milkshakes: mango and pistachio. The mango was an absolute star, thick and creamy with real mango chunks and a scoop of mango ice cream. The pistachio was the mango’s dodgy cousin from out of town, tasting fake, looking suspicious, and making you miss the mango even more. They brought complimentary dates and a salad. Shockingly, I think I’m starting to like dates: sweet, rich, and actually a nice opener. The salad was just a simple pile of vegetables, but with a squeeze of the lemon they gave us, it turned out actually pretty decent. Then came the mains: seafood noodles (Chinese style) and aloo gobi. And… ketchup. Yes, ketchup. On the side. Why? No idea, but there it was, judging us while we ignored it. The food itself was fantastic, and the portions were huge, so definitely come hungry. The noodles had tiny shrimps and neatly diced octopus, packed with flavour. The aloo gobi came with naan bread that my Mrs enjoyed so much she practically guarded it like a dragon with treasure. At the end, with the check, we got complimentary tea, a nice and calming touch to wrap up the meal. Overall, a surprisingly great dinner with a couple of eyebrow-raising moments. Mango milkshake 10/10. Pistachio disowned. Ketchup still confusing. Would happily return, but only if I can skip the fake nuts and keep the naan.

Zaki Restaurant in Sur offers a decent biryani that stands out for its aroma and balanced spice level. The rice is flavorful and well-cooked, and the portion size is generous for the price. While the presentation is simple, the taste and quality make it a satisfying choice for biryani lovers in the locality. A good spot for a hearty meal with consistent flavor and value.

We were a group of 4. We didn’t wait for a table, but it was a good timing, because after 10 minutes, the restaurant was full. The waiter was super nice and helpful. He offered us a free bread and water. The food was super delicious, the portions were big, and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommend.

We ate cauliflower appetizer and mackerel dish which was served with rice, bread and fresh vegetables. It was quite spicy for our European palates, taste was good, big portions. We didn't even finish everything. Good portion/price ratio. The only downfall for me is hygiene of this place. We were the only ones in the restaraunt so service was quite quick.

Great dining experience. Was that good i visited twice. Seems to be a locals favourite. 1st night we went for the indian menu and the butter chicken was delicious. 2nd night we came back for more and this time we tried the chinese menu. The chinese was my favourite of the 2 options we tried. Having spoken with the owner he mention his grandfather founded the business 40 years ago, and i must say the experience shows in the quality of food and service. Highly highly recommended if staying in Sur. Take my word dont go anywhere else.

Middle Eastern restaurant
Nestled in a charming fishing town, Sahari Restaurant is a delightful haven for food lovers seeking Halal options. Renowned for its delectable pizzas and authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, this eatery offers an unforgettable dining experience. The ambiance is serene, with stunning views that enhance your meal. Guests rave about the flavorful dishes beautifully presented by attentive staff who ensure every visit feels special.
This is the BEST restaurant in town here. We have been to multiple different restaurants around here and this one takes the lead by far. The service is amazing they were very accommodating and professional. The server showed us the fresh lobster and fish that were the daily special. The portion sizes are big and they are packed with flavour and spices. The highlight from our meal are the fresh Grouper and the Omani lobster. Oh, and the stone oven fresh Turkish bread is out of the world; it is super soft and fluffy while being very tasty. The chef even made homemade falafels, as a special request, even though they were not in the menu. The location is very pleasant they have multiple outdoor seating options and indoor as well over looking the water. Overall I would highly recommend coming here it exceeds the ratings.

During our trip to Oman, we had the pleasure of dining at a stunning restaurant perched on a terrace overlooking the bay. The view alone was worth the visit—breathtaking panoramas of the shimmering water, with a warm breeze adding to the magical atmosphere. What made this experience truly exceptional was the food. Upon arrival, we were invited to choose our seafood from a fresh display of the day’s catch. The staff presented raw fish and lobsters, clearly explaining the pricing before preparing our selections. It was a delight to know that what we were about to eat had come straight from the sea. We opted for a freshly grilled fish and a lobster, both cooked to perfection. The flavors were simple yet rich, allowing the freshness of the seafood to shine. Accompanying the main dishes were crisp, refreshing salads and warm, fluffy pita bread—perfect complements to the meal. The restaurant’s décor was minimalist but tasteful, allowing the focus to remain on the spectacular setting and outstanding cuisine. The service was professional and welcoming, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. This was, without a doubt, our best culinary experience in Oman. If you're looking for an authentic seafood feast with an unforgettable view, this restaurant is a must-visit.

The food was so good, I completely forgot to take any pictures! This restaurant definitely deserves more than just 3.9 stars. We had lunch with incredibly fresh fish straight from the sea—absolutely delicious. As a starter, we shared a mixed plate with various dips and homemade Turkish bread, which was warm and full of flavor. The entire meal was a delight, and the place is seriously underrated.

Very tasty food! The fish is very delicious. The flavor of the fish is only salt and lemon. Keep the original flavor of the fish. The Shisha hear also very nice! I will visit again no doubt.

Recommended for anyone visiting Sur. Run by a very nice Syrian lady whose team serves up a great mix of Arabic and Western cuisine, with fresh grilled local fish, grilled meats and the usual Arabic mezze. Super refreshing juices. Possibly the best Turkish bread (cooked in a stone oven) I've ever tasted... And that's not to mention the great view from the terrace looking out over the Sur lagoon. At sunset from the terrace a great view of the dhows, part of the town and a backdrop of the Sayq plateau and mountains. Slightly more expensive than lots of the other places in town but definitely worth it and still amazingly cheap for anyone from Europe.

We went here for lunch and had delicious food in a beautiful setting. Outside on a clean and cute terrace, overlooking the boats on the sea. We had mix seafood (squid, calamari,shrimp) and a fish. All suoerfresh and tasty! No overload of spice, just grilled and let the fresh ingredients speak for themselves. We also received some hummus and bread, which was very tasty making the whole thing way too much to handle for two hungry stunnaches :-) Would 100% recommend, hope to be back again!!

Food was ok but they forgot my main course. Thankfully my husband had enough to share but some of the meat in the mixed grill was overcooked. The kunafa pudding was quite dry too. I’m sure it’s better in the daytime as the view is amazing but on a quiet night it wasn’t anything to rave about.

Stunning views at this coastal restaurant - be sure to ask for the fresh fish / lobster! The food did take a while to arrive but the views made up for it - be sure to stay for sunset! Will definitely be coming again.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful Indian dining experience, RazmAzaan Indian Restaurant is a must-visit. This vibrant eatery boasts an extensive menu featuring mouthwatering dishes like samosa chaat, chaat bombs, and lamb biryani, alongside a variety of curries and tandoor specialties. Diners rave about the quick service and modern ambiance, with an open kitchen that adds to the lively atmosphere.
A good but little opetion for vegetarian. Nice atmosphere..!! Food test that reminds you of perfect Indian test! Ordered pani puri, kadai paneer, kofta curry, garlic naan, dal tadka, jeera rice, and chaas. Service was a little slow, but food quality and quantity were superb 😋😋😋

There is no option for negative stars. Otherwise, i could have given them a negative. The ambiance and staff were pleasant. However, the food was disappointing and overpriced. The chicken kebabs lacked variety in taste, and the roti had an unpleasant odor. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 - Disappointing Decline Over the Years I've been a loyal customer of Razaman Sur for the past four years. In the early days, the food was great value for money with generous portions, and it quickly became a favourite spot for me. However, my recent visit left me disappointed. I was particularly let down by the samosa chaat, which used to be a highlight but has noticeably shrunk in size. We ordered a mix of starters, mains, and drinks. Previously, we’d receive at least four large papadoms, but this time they arrived in broken pieces, giving the impression of less food overall. One drink, a lemongrass and ginger soda, arrived completely flat and missing the soda water and lemongrass. After complaining, they added soda water—but the lemongrass was still missing. On a positive note, my son had the sweet lassi, which was tasty and well-made. The total bill came to 19 OMR, which felt expensive considering the portion sizes and the overall experience. Even more surprising was the slow service, despite the restaurant not being busy at the time. That said, the ambiance is still inviting, and the location is easily accessible. It's a shame the food quality and value have declined, as this used to be a reliable go-to spot for us.

We made a quick stop for a late lunch here. Honestly speaking the food was very good! Very tasty, good portion sizes. The 4 stars is mostly coz we found it rather expensive, 20 omr for one meal when we had spent 20 omr for 2 meals all through our trip in Oman 🤣 Food was undoubtedly good though!

Great food experience. Food was delicious and served very quickly. Waiter advised us when we were confused about meals and even provided a pictures of dishes. Very modern style and kitchen just behind a window. Nice, clean, quick and tasty. Prices are just amazing and you can have full dinner for two people for less than 15 Omani Rials. Definitely recommend!

Good and quick service. I ordered lamb leg shank. Rice is excellent but unfortunately the meat is very dark suggesting it is long distance forzen (not fresh). Also it is a pricy resturant especially drinks.

The cuisine at Alhawash Restaurant was delightful, with a distinct freshness to the flavors. A hotel staff member from Sur recommended this establishment as we headed towards Ras Al-Jinz Turtle Reserve. The seafood, particularly the calamari, stood out for its tender and succulent texture. The prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were satisfying. Additionally, parking was convenient and offered a pleasant view of the beach. Service was prompt and accommodating, with friendly staff attending to our every need.
Here me out, as this is what a five star review means to me: Al Hawash was recommended to us by a friend, and we were not completely convinced, however still went to have dinner. The service was exceptional, from the beginning until the end. We ordered a sensational juice (we came back for it the next day because it was so good - pineapple mango, orange juice), grilled prawns, Kuwait rice with goat meat, and a bunch of starters (hummus, tabouleh, fattoush). The plates were absolutely amazing, and we were happy with everything. The prawns were a bit pricey in my opinion, but in total it was a great experience. Overall, simply a sensational place, which you should try out when you’re in Sur.

The location of this restaurant is stunning, with a beautiful beachfront view and turquoise waters that create a relaxing atmosphere. The ambiance definitely set the stage for a lovely dining experience. However, we did face some challenges during our visit. The serving time was quite slow, and we noticed other tables—both locals and visitors—expressing similar concerns. We ordered the mixed seafood grill, and while the fish was delicious and enjoyable, the lobster was overcooked, and the squid and shrimp didn’t seem fresh, coming off a bit dry. Unfortunately, the seafood soup also didn’t meet our expectations. As for drinks, there was some confusion. Initially, we were told there were only fresh juices, but we later discovered sodas were available after asking another waiter. Overall, the stunning location and pleasant ambiance were the highlights of our visit. With some improvements in service and food preparation, this place has the potential to be a great dining spot. For now, I’d rate it 2 out of 5.

Tourist Trap I actually left without eating my long awaited meal. This is what I am happy to call a Tourist trap Avoid it. It’s not up to standard. The fish display is not fresh and the staff are incompetent. The menu that you order from is filthy. A very bad choice for a meal at a very good location in Sur.

I do not recommend this place at all. We were on a family trip and had to wait for an entire hour for our food, but it never came. When we canceled the order, we were shocked by the Egyptian waiter's attitude it was extremely rude, almost as if he wanted to kick us out. Please, if your time matters, don't go there. Sur has so many much better options with outstanding service a million times over.

Situated on the beach, this restaurant has a fabulous view of the bay and the light house. We had a grilled fish and some mezze. The salads were really good, the fish was wasn't too bad. Had better ones in Oman. The best thing about the restaurant is the location. Would make for a lovely evening meal.

Went for breakfast during our eid break. There were not much option and had only one fixed menu. The food and atmosphere were really good. The only bad experience was there was not enough people to serve us even though the restaurant was full. We had to cancel our coffee as they mentioned it is going take more time and we had to leave in a hurry.

In this location one of medium range hotels for South Indian foods. Oman, shariya, sur. Medium cost food , 70% worth for its price. Chatni and sambar very bad quality, so dont get it .
