Burger Nation (City Centre)

Rating 4 1/2 Stars

Special Award: Best Hamburgers in Muscat!

Malt Shop atmosphere. Great people watching spot. Burgers are WONDERFUL, but itsy bitsy... I had to order two just to feel like I had eaten one. Can't wait to go back for another!

Update 15-Jul-09: Burger Nation is closed and being re-vamped...

The Noodle House (City Centre)

Rating: 3 stars

Thai/Chinese restaraunt: This place has a wonderful warm atmosphere. The entire mall front entrace is an ingenious sideways Venitian blind set of giant mahogany panels that create an interesting doorway. It would be a good place for parties as there are plenty of long tables. I have been here twice. Appetisers have been excellent, but the main course always seems to lack flavor. I've even been as far as to order something seriously spicey. It had almost no spiciness to it at all. I have yet to find anything of flavor past the meat and the rice the dish is served in.

Staff is friendly. Service is great. Appetizers great. Main course needs work.
