The Best Restaurant in Bidiyah, Oman

Background Illustration for Restaurants

You'll find very few restaurant in the desert cities of Sharqiyah since the vast majority of travelers either bring their own food to camp or stay in desert camps that provide food. There are a few decent places to get a meal, but pack some snacks and keep your expectations low if you dine out.

This nameless café next to the petrol station when you first enter the township of Bidiyah is pretty much the only real restaurant in town. Most people bring their own provisions to barbecue in the desert, or they rely on the meals provided by the luxury camps where they are staying, but if you find yourself in need of a quick meal, this place will do the trick. The food, basic South Asian fare and rice dishes, is nothing special, but it is decent enough for a breakfast or lunch on the way in or out of town. The chana masala and lentils are good, and the paratha bread is the one thing they do really well.
