Scanning through the Al Khuwair ‘food’ street where you have restaurants like Tropical, Subway and Karachi Darbar among others, your eyes seem to fall straight on Golden Spoon because it just stands out from the rest with its royal and charming exteriors.
On entering the place, you will be welcomed with exquisitely designed interiors and a warm aroma of ‘Tandoori’ cuisine. This is the first step to a traditional and delightful lunch or dinner, whatever you are heading for. You can choose to be seated downstairs if it’s just you or someone’s accompanying you but if you are a large group of friends or family, you can dine in the family area provided upstairs.
Golden Spoon has just the right kind of delicacies for everyone, ranging from an assortment of seafood to typical Indian Tandoori cuisine or even great Chinese delights. There are all sorts of mouthwatering dishes awaiting your indulgence.
Golden Spoon is an ideal restaurant with charming interiors which take you back to the times of British India, where the kings and emperors used to dine in the light of lanterns and uniquely upholstered ambience. For today’s generation, it is also a good place to have a candle light dinner with a romantic mood.
From the Chinese wok, there is everything from chicken szechwan to delicious mix of lobsters or fish varieties. If you love Chinese veggies, you can relish sizzling veg chowmein, chopsuey, fried rice or noodles to tickle your taste buds. Most of the items I tried from it are not authentic Chinese but taste good, its more like a mix of Indian and Chinese. Chicken sweet and sour and chicken decod in red chilli sauce are a must try, the latter especially for those who love spices in their food. Their veg chowmein and paneer in szechwan sauce taste great, just as they appear!
Turning to Indian tandoor; you have numerous delicacies which would play with your senses of sight, taste, touch and feel. The foods include, Murg tikka masala, Haryali Kebabs, Paneer Makhni, Ghost rogan josh to name a few. Merely writing about them awakes a sense of inner delight.
There is also a range of rich and creamy non-veg Indian curries for diners to choose from such as Murg makhni, gosht salan and others. I have tried their murg makhni and paneer tikka masala numerous times because they taste good and are very creamy.
To go along with these delicious items, there is an exclusive menu only on breads, ‘the bread basket’, here you can find a wonderful variety of freshly baked breads such as Kashmiri naan, Keema naan, veg stuffed parathas among others. Stuffed Aloo parathas and garlic naan are my favorites and I would advice everyone else to try them.
Apart from these main course delicacies, you can choose between different salads, kebabs (BBQ), drinks and desserts. Their raita in salads, relishing rasmalai in desserts and Paneer Tikka among kebabs are worth trying! There is also a small range of continental items and sizzlers which diners can gorge on. I haven’t tried either of them myself but have heard that Chicken tikka and American sizzlers are very appetizing.
Golden Spoon is always filled with different nationalities dining in at all times, Europeans, Omanis, Pakistanis and others. The restaurant is a favorite to all of them and is a must try for every individual especially of he/she likes to try out a mix of good cuisines. Any food connoisseur would appreciate the restaurant because of its wide ranging and satisfying varieties.
For me, dining at Golden Spoon has always been a wonderful experience. I love the ambience but I am not comfortable with the close seating, it should be made more spacious with wider space between the tables.
The service is just fine; you do not have to wait for your order for a long time. If you wish to tip the waiters for their good service, for two people, it is not usually more than 500 bzs. The restaurent also has a party hall which can accommodate 100 guests and also undertake catering during birthdays or other events.
