Plate Snob says

Why it earns a place

Spice Market is where the resort feels most rooted in the region. Give the international safety net a night off and order the dishes that smell of charcoal, spice and the oven in front of you.

The full picture

The room

Bold textiles, handmade pottery and a traditional mud kitchen give Spice Market a clear sense of place. It is especially atmospheric after dark, when the open kitchen becomes the centre of the room.

How to order

Start with hot and cold mezze, add shish grills or the day's catch and ask which Omani or regional dishes are running that evening. Breakfast and dinner are the venue's stated services.
