What a little jewel. Tucked away, we may have missed this calm, serene restaurant producing such high quality food. The food, attentive service, and little extras made us feel spoilt. Would definitely recommend.

We order the Dal Fry and a South Indian Chicken Dish along with 2 Rotis. The food is a little bit pricey and the portions are quite big for 2 people but all in all very tasty food albeit a bit expensive. My only suggestion to the restaurant would be to make some improvements to the outer appearance because even though the ambience inside is lovely, the outside of the restaurant makes it appear a little bit dingy compared to its neighbors. Will definitely eat here again if we return to Muscat though!

Great Indian meal, we had a butter chicken, byriani rice, chicken tandoori and a lamb stew with potatoes, everything was delicious for those who like their dishes relatively spicy. To top it off, excellent lassi mango! Hot Recommendation!

My worst Indian restaurant in my life. The restaurant is located in the souq they don’t have any parking which took me around 20-25 mins to look for and we go there the place is okay nothing special the service is good but the waiters need to have basic hygiene because the really smell bad. The presentation of the food was okay but there was no taste of indian food and the food was not good at all we had the butter chicken it was like tomato soup with chicken and the chicken kebab was terrible. Then comes the bill for 37OMR and don’t really no for what exactly the food was terrible the toliet is so small and there is not even parking so better go to a luxurious hotel restaurant for the prices they have there I really wouldn’t recommend anyone to visit but it your choice

Located a stone's throw from the Muttrah Souq on the waterfront corniche, this small and elegant establishment is possibly the finest Indian restaurant in Muscat. The decor is a playfully eclectic melange of modern art and Omani heritage, reminiscent of the Place & People Museum nearby, and the service is polite, discreet and attentive. While prices are on the higher end, the food is characterised by subtle and complex flavours, excellent ingredients, and thoughtful presentation. The tandoori quail and the wonderfully light and crispy fish samosas are especially recommended.

I travel regularly to Muscat with work and I revert to Kurkum again and again both with colleagues and clients due to unfailing consistency in Food and Service. Most notably The menu offers a deep level of choice for all dietary requirements which is a boon when entertaining a multi cultural group. Also, the charm and design of the restaurant, standard of food and personalised service is a welcome and refreshing alternative to those of us staying at the regions hotels and looking for something more special than the hotel restaurant. I have grazed right across the extensive menu at Kurkum and it never fails to impress. Distinctive in its interpretation of a variety of mostly Asian favourites, there is clearly a sophisticated and talented kitchen team at work here and a clear alignment with quality sourcing and ingredients from Management. I will be back!

This restaurant is steps away from the busy Mutrah souq, but it is at the quiet South end. We sat outside amongst the bougainvillea flowers and enjoyed the gentle breeze from the harbour. To our surprise our waiter, Sagar, delivered complimentary rose water drinks and a traditional Indian appetizer. Our lunch salads were delicious and the service was the best.

I had been to this restaurant when it first opened back in 2017/2018 when it was all the hype back then. The restaurant is well situated on Mutrah Courniche nearby Mutrah Fort and the Souq and is well decorated. The food however was dissappoiting and over priced. I"m not sure if they are catering to a western palate (fewer spices) however the biryani was mostly white rice (bland) with only a few pieces of chicken and grilled prawns I ordered were dry. The onion bhaji was alright. I will definitely not return, and recommend woodlands or begum's better indian cuisine.

Amazing service and food. We were greeted with a complementary drink and starter which were both delicious. Then for starters we had the onion bhajis and prawn dim sum both amazing. Vegetable samosas and lamb kebabs alright nothing special. The chicken goan curry was one of the best I’ve ever tasted and the chicken rajistan was really good too. The tamarind fish was ok a bit soggy. The kashmiri rice and roti were delicious. Overall very good food very friendly waiters and a very enjoyable evening for this British family on the first time eating in Muskat!

We (my wife, our 3-year old daughter and myself) had a lovely dinner while visiting Muttrah. The restaurant is located on the corniche road, just a few steps away from the famous Muttrah Souk. The restaurant is very well decorated and cosy, and thereby sets itself apart from most of the restaurants in that area. Service was very nice and friendly as staff went the extra mile to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Last but not least, we liked the food a lot. We only have Indian cuisine every once in a while, but really enjoyed each and every plate we ordered, as well as the complimentary welcome drink and small dessert snack.

We arrived about 7:30 and had no problem getting a table. The restaurant does both Asian and Indian cuisine. We started with prawn dim sum, which was excellent. For main courses I had the hot and sour fish, which was lightly spiced and the fish melted in my mouth. The sides of Kashmiri pilao rice, ocre and cheese naan were equally good. 48 riyals for two people was a fair price given the quality of the cooking and service

A truly wonderful restaurant in the heart of Muttrah which by far exceeded all of our expectations. The staff are wonderful and extremely kind. The interior is incredibly tasteful with exquisite artwork. The food is a wonderful mix of authentic Indian dishes and other traditional dishes. We extremely recommend the Butter Chicken, the Goan Chicken as well as the Chili Okra! Can't wait to be back!

A small place, but full of interesting items: great paintings, changed every month, sculptures. The room is dimly lit, inviting you to stay as long as you wish. Candles are lit at each table at dusk. You are welcome with a rose water drink/ the first time I had drunk that kind of beverage: an absolute bliss. The staff are very polite and helpful and bring your dishes in a timely manner. Special thanks to Sajar Kummar and his colleague. The food is high quality and the fine crockery is used unsparingly: We were lucky we went in, because it is very easy to miss the place.

We have just had dinner there and the experience itself was awesome right from the moment you step into it. The staff, the atmosphera, the cleanliness and the food made our dinner very enjoyable. They know how to treat a client without bothering him/her. The food is high quality. After being in some other restaurants in Mattrah, I highly recommend this one. It may be a little more expensive than some in the same area but it is a way further from them when talking of European standards. Besides, they offer you a welcoming drink and a sweet to finish your dinner; what else can you ask for?

A nice cozy restaurant at Mattrah Corniche. Lovely food, attentive staff and the service was impressively quick for a fine dining spot. Whether you are planning a romantic dinner or a fun night out with friends and family, this place has something for everyone. We loved the must try dishes like Prawn poori, dry coconut lamb and the biryani specials. The Kurkum Special Seafood curry was to die for. Amazing place. Totally recommend it.
