Delicious Delights

Cake Gallery
I visited the cake Gallery located in Mawaleh.

I've been waiting too long for a proper Persian restaurant in Muscat. I was too excited to try Shabestan when it first opened.

The decor is beautiful as you walk in, and the ambiance is perfect. The fountain at the entrance added to the elegance of the restaurant. You are welcomed in by friendly faces and the service is excellent. The food was delicious- we ordered a mixed grill and it was light and tasted authentic. The mocktails on the menu were pretty and the dessert was also good. I had the Saffron ice cream, which I loved, and some black tea with mint, of course. I would highly recommend Shabestan, even though it is on the pricey side, but worth the experience.

When I heard that a sushi place opened at The Avenues mall, I had to go and try it. When we first got there, I noticed that the restaurant was busy. When I asked for a table, they asked us to wait for about 10 minutes, which we didn't mind.

Once the waiter ushered us to our table, I noticed that there was still bits of food on the floor and the seats of the booth, so I asked them to please clean it again. It was not a very good start to the meal. After I was satisfied with the cleanliness, we took a look at the menu. The restaurant offered a good selection of a variety of Asian dishes, including sushi, noodles, etc. We ordered 3 different types of makis (California, Ebi, and Sake) and they were all good. We also had the Singapore noodles, which was the best thing we ordered. Very yummy. We also had some mojitos and coladas and the presentation of our drinks was pretty. Overall I would say that it is good for a restaurant at the mall.

Today we visited  D'Arcy's Kitchen, a cottage style restaurant/ café.

A lovely atmosphere

Vibrant menu

Today we ordered a delicious combination of deserts between four people.

 Our first order was a sticky toffee pudding, a date cake with caramel syrup, with ice cream on the side (OMR 1.7).

I ordered this cake, and I would give it a 9/10. I loved the taste,  texture and warmth of the pastry.
Our second order was a strawberry smoothie; a mouth-watering drink to satisfy your thirst and enjoy (OMR 2). A rating of 9/10 for it's sweetness and texture.

We also ordered a chocolate milkshake, a divine tasting drink (OM 2). This was also given a 9/10 for the same purpose the strawberry smoothie had: flavour and texture. This had a mix of Oreo and Kit kat with some coco powder and ice cream. This is definitely a drink to try.

The final thing that was ordered was the molten lava cake (OMR 1.8).


This was heaven on earth, a simmering chocolate lava cake with caramel and chocolate syrup and gorgeous vanilla ice cream with chocolate on top. A well deserved 9.5/10.


Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with this restaurant/cafe. Here are the overall ratings:
Service: 8/10
Food: 9/10
Atmosphere: 9/10
