Oman dining: Eat at The Asian restaurant in Muscat

Enjoy the rich and diverse cuisines of Far East along with their warm hospitality at The Asian that serves up some steaming, fiery fare.

Start With...
Deli Fried Platter
A delicious platter with a mix of crispy fried calamari, Chinese veg toast, spicy marinated chicken wings, crispy chicken strings on a bed of yellow rice served with French fries, this jaw dropping starter platter has almost all your favourites and is sufficient for four. It is almost impossible to not dive into these lip-smacking flavours that make the perfect finger food too. And before you tuck them in don’t forget to dip them in the gorgeous sweet and sour apricot sauce that happens to be the chef’s special too. OMR9.600

Asian Dragon Maki
If you want to get sold on sushi then try the Asian Dragon Maki. With the crispy tempura fried prawns with eel, avocado, crab stick, cucumber and topped with tempura flakes, this sushi roll is a burst of flavours. Served with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger, they aren’t just delicious but also looks tantalising. OMR4.200

Slurp On..
Mongolian Hot Pot Soup
Unlike the other thick and creamy soups that we are used to having, Mongolian Hot Pot Soup is the perfect contrast. A Mangolian style chicken soup along with broccoli, mushrooms, and red capsicum, this flavourful soup is very soothing and the best aspect is it won’t fill you up too much before you dig into your main course. But most of all it is the perfect winter warmer. OMR1.600

Eat Your Fill...
Thai Shrimp Noodles
Asian stir fried noodles with prawns, peppers, broccoli, snowpeas, and other vegetables has a distinct flavour of kaffir lime adding extra fragrance to the dish. OMR3.600

Cambodian Coriander Chicken
Awaken your senses with this wok sautéed chicken in Thai coriander marinade, and served with Thai basil rice. The rice ring with flavourful chicken in the centre makes this a complete meal. The freshness of the coriander and the flavours of the other spices like lemongrass, chillies, and black peppercorns are whizzed into a real spicy must-have dish. OMR3.600

Thai Steamed Fish
Nestled in a boat shaped foil pocket, this simple but delicious dory fish fillets with calamari, prawns, and mussels is served with Thai basil rice and stir fried vegetables. Infused and soaked in the fragrance of lemon grass and tamarind stock this classic dish was the real surprise element of the day. OMR5.900

Shredded Crunchy Fried Beef
Add a little crunch to your meal by having the spicy crispy golden fried beef that is tossed in tomato chilli sauce. The smoky aftertaste is what makes it different from the rest. OMR3.400

Chef’s Special Chicken
Blended well with mixed vegetables in ketchup and Szechwan sauce this chef’s special chicken with its little sweet and little spicy taste turned out to be the real feast from the East. OMR3.300

Mangolian Barbecue (Create Your Own Stir-Fry)
If you want to taste the real harmony of far eastern flavours try the Mongolian barbecue. You can actually create your own food. All you need to do is to choose from a variety of items like chicken, shrimps, lamb, and beef, put them in a bowl and then add the accompaniments of mushrooms, peppers, onion, broccoli, corn, and cabbage displayed at the counter. There is also an array of sauces to choose. From ginger, garlic, and peanut to barbecue, chilli or schezwan, take your pick. Hand over your bowl to the chef standing behind the live counter to make it for you. Have your Mongolian bowl with a complimentary portion of rice or noodles along with a bowl of soup to complete your meal. OMR3.900
