One of my favorite foods in Oman :) The food was very yummy, and they served a traditional dish from Oman! Very good juices also!
To Omani standards, this restaurant is 5 stars. However, my experience deserved only 3 stars.
We ordered two main courses and a soup. Luckily, the soup came in 15 minutes and served warm. It's just perfect 👌🏻
The two main courses were served with 10 minutes between each. The chicken scallops with mash potatoes were okay. The chicken itself was very hard. No side sauces, no tomatoes sauce, no mustard. It's just a hard chicken to chew. The mashed potatoes were cold. It's not cold from the fridge, but also it's not warm at all.
The servers (Omani local) do not speak English. So I had to translate it to my other guest.
The seating area, in fact, was very tight. It's nicely designed, but the distance between the table and the chair is too narrow. You must be very thin to fit inside them.
Amazing Traditional Omani breakfast with enough serving size for 2 people and very economical. Mr. Mohammad Salum assisted us with everything greatly.
100% recommended.

Reviews
Kattarah Restaurant in Nizwa, Oman, offers a mix of experiences according to different reviewers. While some found the food and service exceptional, others had mixed feelings about their dining experience. The ambiance is praised for its stunning rooftop views overlooking Nizwa city, the fort, mosque, and mountains. Reviewers highlighted dishes like pineapple and ginger drink, mixed cold appetizers including houmous and beetroot dip, Omani potatoes with cheese and lamb, lentil soup served in a bread roll, and an arugula salad with roasted cashews and pomegranate. The staff received both praise for being professional and attentive as well as criticism for not speaking English fluently. Despite varying opinions on food quality ranging from delicious to average or hard chicken scallops with cold mashed potatoes, many visitors appreciated the reasonable prices at Kattarah Restaurant.

The food was delicious, especially the soup which was served inside a bun and also the dish Thareed was so tasty. Family friendly and hygienic restaurant but a tad on the expensive side.
It is located on the ground floor of a hotel.
Beautiful rooftop and atmosphere ✨️
The juices were very good, highly recommended.
Good food, but the price increased a lot within a year.
Service was not great as it took a long time to get the menu, order, the table was not clean when we sat. There was not a lot of people as we ate late around 9:30pm
