Bin Mirza International opens Oman's first Wagamama restaurant

Muscat: Under the patronage of His Excellency Hamish Cowell, the United Kingdom’s Ambassador to Oman, popular eatery wagamama has opened its doors for the first time in the Sultanate. Offering a fresh, Japanese-inspired menu, the new wagamama restaurant is located in the heart of Muscat at the Al Qurum Complex and is operated by Bin Mirza International. The opening of the restaurant was attended by more than 140 guests including the Ambassador of Japan and representatives of the South Korean Embassy, as well as VIPs and members of the media and social media.
“We at Bin Mirza International are dedicated to transforming the local food scene by introducing international brands that offer unique and high quality food. wagamama embodies our vision with its famed Japanese-inspired cuisine that is prepared with passion and founded on a positive eating philosophy: fresh food that’s cooked to order and served in a friendly and vibrant setting,” said Hani Mirza, Partner and Managing Director of Bin Mirza International.
Muscat residents and visitors can enjoy a variety of dishes, including wagamama's signature ramen; bowls of fragrant soup filled with noodles plus meat or vegetables. Spice enthusiasts can delight in the much-loved prawn firecracker, and for vegetarians the tofu chili salad is a fresh and crunchy treat.
Brian Johnston, International Managing Director of wagamama commented, “We are very excited to have arrived in Muscat. Today marks the first step in wagamama’s expansion across Oman. We look forward to hearing feedback from our new and valued customers.”
The menu also boasts wagamama icons such as the chicken katsu curry; succulent chicken breast fried in golden breadcrumbs, served with the famous katsu curry sauce, rice and salad. Customers can also indulge in a light bite or snack with small plates such as gyozas or edamame beans shaken with chili and salt, alongside an extensive choice of fresh juices, desserts and beverages. A mini menu has been designed especially for kids to ensure there is something for all members of the family.
