Mumtaz Mahal, Shahjehan took 20 yrs to build it, but it was just a wonder, we wait 30 mins and the dishes are just disaster, can you please pep up your service, smile and be hospitable, it will make a lot of difference, to you and to the guests as well.

[...] The Bollywood is Indian and mostly families and couples. The Bollywood is not a fancy place unlike Mumtaz Mahal, the cost of food is lower and the service and venue is not as fancy either. I don’t think [...]

[...] Fine Indian restaurant Woodlands has opened earlier this year in Sohar. If you are coming from Muscat you have to take the right turn from the Sohar Globe roundabout and then turn left from the first roundabout after it to go towards the new banks district. Woodlands is five minutes from there right before Al Turaif roundabout on the left side of the road. This is the third branch Woodlands opens, the first is in Ruwi in Muscat, the second is in Salalah, and the third most recent one is in Sohar. Woodlands won the Oman2day Restaurant Awards 2007 for the best service category and was a finalist in the best Indian restaurant category (which was eventually won by Mumtaz Mahal). [...]

I love nothing more than indian food. The hotter the better but I’ll have to have some tissues with me. But I never went to Mumtaz I think that’s because I always thought that it would be too expensive for me or maybe because I will probebly go alone :p

The prices are very reasonable and I will deffinetly consider going there.

Interesting review.

We like MM for the view, but prefer woodlands for flavour, and Curry house for convenience and price.

I'm in agreement with Muscati about the overbearing "service" which you find everywhere here, to my vast annoyance. It's petty of me, but I'm like "gaddman it! I have opposable thumbs and a reasonable IQ! I think I can figure how to get the food from the bowl to my plate, and from the plate to my mouth. Go away." not that I would ever actually say that. I just smile and thank them. Serves me right.

I don't understand why Indians choose Indian food when they go to restaurants.

Thank god, I donâ€™t fall under that category. I like to try various cuisines, and Iâ€™ve been doing it from Bangalore, which offers almost all the world cuisines under its belt. The problem lies with the people from Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh who are quite choosy about the food they eat and are traditional too. Finally, they end up in Indian hotels, eating the same old fare. Most of them, being veggies, have very less option in Golden Oryxs or an Istanbulis, so are forced to settle in MM or Woodlands or Saravana Bhavans. Another major attraction for having Indian stuff is the chance to booze at nominal rates. Imagine ordering liquor at Hyatt or InterCon and getting ripped off!

Woodlands has indeed opened a branch in Sohar. Try those delectable kebabs!
