The Jungle

   

 

 

The Jungle is one of the most beautiful dining places in Oman. With the look and feel of an actual rain forest, you can tell that a huge amount of money has been spent in creating this restaurant. This indoor jungle takes your breath away with its lush green plants, artificial rain and animal replicas. After you walk through the pathway in the jungle, the restaurant doors welcome you into a huge cave themed interior.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Jungle is a multi-cuisine restaurant wherein the menu comprises of Middle Eastern, Indian, Pakistani and Italian dishes. There’s a good number of vegetarian dishes as well.


The menue : 

 

 

 

Dinosaur’s Egg Drop OMR 2.500

 

We started our meal with a sweet corn chicken soup named as Dinosaur’s Egg Drop. I tried my best not to think of dinosaurs. The soup was good but it could be better with some more pieces of chicken in it.

 

 

Reshmi Kebab OMR 1.500

 

For appetizers, we selected Reshmi kebab and stuffed tandoori mushrooms. Disappointingly the reshmi kebabs starter was quite a small portion with 3 pieces only and there was no dip/sauce served with it.The chicken lacked spice but still tasted good.

 

 

Stuffed Tandoori Mushrooms OMR 1.500

 

 

Watermelon Fizz OMR 1.500

 

For drinks, I ordered a Watermelon Fizz and a soft drink. The watermelon beverage looked beautiful and tasted amazing.

Our main course comprised of Omnivore burger and lamb Rogan Josh with naan. Fried sausage and barbecued corn on the cob were selected as side dishes.

 

 

Omnivore burger OMR 4.000

 

The omnivore burger was an unsuccessful meat patty between two slices of buns. A good portion of French fries accompanied the burger and condiments included lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and a slice of cheese. The meat lacked freshness and I swear I could cook up a better burger. Again, only ketchup was given as dressing. This dish was really not worth its price.

 

 

Fried Sausages OMR 2.500

The fried sausages tasted good. They were accompanied with a good amount of french fries too.

 

Lamb Rogan Josh OMR 4.500

 

Naan

 

 

Chocolate Molten Lava Cake OMR 3.500

 

 

For desserts, we ordered a chocolate molten lava cake. It had a very nice presentation and tasted superb. Two small round cakes were served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm chocolate lava oozed out beautifully.

 

 

 

The Jungle is a very pretty restaurant with attentive and friendly staff and we had no complaints in terms of service.The pricing isn’t entirely expensive but it isn’t cheap either and there is an additional cheeky 13% tax. Although some of the cooking missed the mark, I see a lot of potential in this restaurant. It has a very stunning ambience that attracts crowd easily but the food definitely needs to be improved.
