(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Having tantalised gastronomes with a select Mediterranean fare since its inception, restaurant Zeitoun has revamped it spread with an Omani themed menu supplemented with GCC and international cuisines.
The menu change, coming nearly two years since it opened its doors at its upmarket Mawaleh location, is in keeping with a commitment to staying attuned to the culinary desires and tastes of its burgeoning clientele.
Driving the menu change is celebrity Omani chef, Issa al Lamki whose culinary innovations have electrified the local food scene while also riveting international attention to the gastronomic capabilities of a new generation of budding Omani chefs.
Under Chef Lamki's supervision, Zeitoun's menu has undergone a complete and delightful makeover.
While the theme is predominantly Omani, there are also dishes inspired by Gulf and Middle Eastern cuisines.
The new menu invites guests to explore an array of authentic Omani dishes. For the main course, there is braised lamb served in shuwa style and camel meat braised with Omani spices, onions and tomato.
Equally appetising is Omani mashakik featuring a mix of lamb chop, chicken, prawns and mixed vegetables served with Omani madrouba.
Husain Abdul Fattah Ghulam al Lawati, Group CEO, Al Balushi Group to which the Zeitoun brand belongs, said the menu change is expected to pull in a diverse mix of customers and food lovers.
'Two key imperatives drove the menu change: One was the realisation that North Mediterranean dishes did not resonate very well with our local target audience. Besides, the absence of high-end restaurants specialising in local Omani cuisine presented an opportunity for us to reposition Zeitoun to meet this market need,' Lawati said.
The 140-seater restaurant is also offering buffet options on weekends.
