Omani Cuisine: Review: D’Arcy’s Kitchen - Jawharat Al Shatti

  • muscati · 2 years ago
    I've always liked D'arcy's Kitchen. I used to go there when they first opened in 98 or 99. We used to go out from work for an hour and have a big breakfast there and amazingly the whole place would be packed with other shameless office workers like us. Over the years their menu kept getting bigger and bigger. The food is always good, and the prices haven't increased. People used to say that when Starbucks comes to Oman Darcy's would go bust. Well Starbucks opened right next door and Darcy's only got stronger.


    The only thing I don't like about them, besides the tiny tables that don't fit their huge food servings, is that they don't have a segregated non smoking area.



    By the way I must have been to D'arcy's a hundred times over the years and yet I've never ordered any of the items you've tried. You should try their breakfasts, they're really. Try going on a weekend morning when the weather gets better, but go early or you wont find a place to sit.

    Everybody praises Darcy's breakfast. I have to check it out one day.

    i love Darcy's, been going there for years. Surprised you didn't like their chicken melt, thats my fav dish, try the tuna melt maybe you'll like it better.

    I love darcy, its a shame I cant go there often because its so crowded and like you said tables are very close to each other you dont get your privacy.


    thier service are always great, but there is this one time .. we went there for lunch .. and the waiter came and asked us what we want to order and we told him .. he gave a comment that it will take time .. we said ok .. 10 mins later, the manager comes and says: the food will take half an hour .. we felt as if they were trying to ask us to leave .. so we left!

    it was quite disrespectful of them.



    over all, darcys food is really really good !!

    Went there for breakfast a few weeks ago, they have changed the menu and some of the great meals they used to serve have been removed.


    Other than that the place does get packed though we were moved indoors as soon as a space was available

    I actually had an incident there with a waiter, where our food was delayed and we were ignored. When the food did come (45min later) I blew off steam at the waiter who simply said “if you don’t like it, don’t eat here”. Though I let that individual know that I don’t take things lightly I was very disappointed at the service and attitude I received. I still go to Darcy’s but it’s not on my top choice list.

    The last time I was there, I got scratched by one of these dirty wild cats. It made us move inside.
