Actually, I have the same issue when I want to go to any ethnic restaurant like Turkish cafes. I m skeptical about what to order and often no explanation as wel. It is intended to be "fast food" and presentation and explaining is not a criteria for selecting the waiting staff. It is just speed and efficiency to help them maintain the crowd. (Like they say, do not judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree). Having said that , I wouldn't rate Bollywood very highly either. Just meant to say that the menu is very contextual to to its "theme" of bollywood and it is quite uniquely thought of as well. Just like how a non geek wouldn't understand a Sci-fi/comic themed restaurant. And no surprises about Indian food being spicy right? :)Perhaps you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hotel Saravana Bhavan has possibly the worst Tamil or any South Indian food in Muscat. It's quite a disgrace to the rest of the franchise which is well known for its taste and quality. The same HSB restaurant in Dubai, even Paris, was much much better. Hope the local HSB improves but they do have a monopoly for the madrasi cuisine and the local sponsors don't bother to align its quality with the rest of the world.

I would have loved to see pics of the ambiance but the dishes don't look bad actually (should have put more pics of your vegetarian offerings). I was a bit surprised to read that it only serves vegetarian good (I mean are there lot of veg restaurants in that area?).

given the crass comments about considering leaving because meat was not served, the review was quite positive. Why did you not like the biryani? Because you did not like the mix of things and it was boring without chicken? Number 1- what was the 'mix of things'? Have a go at describing it please.
Number 2- maybe you should have felt happy that for 1 meal in your life you didn't eat a living thing that suffered in a tiny cage for 10 weeks before having its throat cut while still alive.

This is the most pathetic review ever of an ethnic dining experience. When I go to Automatic the arabic restaurant nobody explains anything to me either about the various dishes, but I enjoy them never the less. Surely it should be well known by now that Indian food is spicy! I wonder why the reviewer went to a vegetarian place when he/she is obviously a meat eater! no wonder the review was so negative. it's not as though the waiters stood over them and forced them to eat up all their vegetables or whatever. Better luck next time and don't go where you are not comfortable.

Actually, Kalla Katha is made from tamarind and other sweet fruit. It's of Gujarati origin. I love Kamat better than Bollywood -- at least you have good servers over there. MAy be you should try!

Hmmm...all said and eaten..Bollywood chat is known for the "chaÃ¤t" & caters to the chaat lovers.Its not always easy to expalin a non-indian what a Chaat is , I won't blame the waiters for that .Chaat is vegeterian but of a very different genre.I feel the place serves one of the best chole bhattures that I have tasted in Gulf. The ambience is nice and food is hygenic . I feel comparison to Mumtaz Mahal is a bit of unjustice to the place!

Ew, Bollywood and Kamat are the two places I hate in Muscat. They are simply overrated, and have crap veggie food in their menus. They are doing total disservice to Indian food.

If you want to relish nice Indian veg food, head over to Woodlands (CBD), Saravana Bhavan (next to Ruwi flyover), Oman Express (Ruwi high street) or Annapoorna, behind Pizza Muscat, MBD.

Very Good Review...

I think you should go back with one of your Indian friends... the experience will be completely different ... I went to Kamat alone ... i almost killed by the food i ordered... then i went with some Indian friends and i couldn't believe how great the food was ..

When I was pregnant with the princess, I couldn't stand meat, seafood, chicken, anything that used to breathe. however, I craved spicy food. I ate lunch there every single day.

THe waitstaff are totally useless at interpreting the menu unless you are a hindi speaking indian vegitarian but there are some real gems. They make these pancake thingies with spinach and cheese that are amazing.

Pregnant ladies, if you want something really, really, really spicy they can hook a girl up. The all you can eat lunch buffet is not to be missed.

Nice review guys. Well done.
