If you're at the top of the hill and you aren't particular about Indian or Western food and you are looking for a romantic dinner spot, the Left Bank is a far better choice. It offers the same great view with both indoor and oudoor dining (al fresco for all those hoity toity types out there). The food is great. I had a steak and it was prepared perfectly. It's a quiet place with smart looking waiters and waitresses and good wine, drink and beer choices.

The Woodlands (in Ruwi)
Rating (4 1/2 stars)
Great place to have an excellent Indian meal with excellent service and excellent food at an excellent price and THEY SERVE BEER TOO. This would get a 5 star rating if I wasn't perched on a delicate wicker chair that felt as though it was going to collapse from under me any second.

Probably the most expensive and yet unimpressive Indian restaurant in Muscat. If you want a good meal, good atmosphere and excellent service, there are better places in town. The Woodlands restaurant in Ruwi is a far better choice.
Environment: Huge Wooden Door. Oppulent dining room that is only polished below Indian height. bowl shaped chandaliers hanging from the ceiling are full of dust. The view is nice from the huge windows along one wall as the entire restaurant shares a hill decorated by a colorful waterfall (water pump driven) that over looks Qurum Beach.
Food: Fair. There are better Indian restaurants in town that are cheaper. My wife and I both had chicken curry style dishes. They don't have butter naan. They have every other type of naan though.
Service: I would say snobbish, but I couldn't understand but every 5th word the waiter spoke and yet he seemed to understand us completely. He wound up ordering us extra food we didn't order and charging us for it and he refused to get us a take-away box for the leftovers.
