SALALAH: Restaurants and meat kiosks in Dhofar Governorate offer tourists a unique dining experience, especially during the Khareef season. Among the most famous dishes is ‘Al Madhbi,’ grilled meat prepared on heated stones, served with rice or traditional bread.
As the autumn season begins, ‘Al Madhbi’ stalls proliferate in tourist areas and popular markets, offering fresh food prepared in front of visitors. These stalls are not just dining spots but also tourist attractions that combine tradition with a unique culinary experience.
Al Madhbi is one of the famous dishes especially in Dhofar Governorate, along with many other dishes that are preferred by visitors and tourists, including mashkak, maqadeed, mafoor maghmi, qasabiya, maajeen, porridge, chicken dishes, and fish.
Muhad bin Ahmed Jaboub, owner of Bin Sobar Restaurant in Ain Arzat, explained, “The project aims to serve all Omani meals to local residents and visitors throughout the year. We offer a variety of meals, including Madhbi, Maqadeed, Ma'ajeen, Mafour, and more, prepared traditionally in front of tourists.”
Ahmed bin Abdullah Al Shahari, owner of Wadi Dhirut Restaurant in the Ateen area, emphasised the seasonal appeal: “Our restaurant offers many meals loved by locals and visitors, especially in the fall. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create authentic dishes that enhance the tourist experience.”
