Omani cuisine

Most Omani dishes tend to contain a rich mixture of spices, herbs, and marinades.

[4] Pork consumption is forbidden to Muslims in Oman, in accordance with Islamic dietary laws.

Although Omani cuisine varies within different regions of Oman, most dishes across the country have a staple of curry, cooked meat, rice, and vegetables.

Soups are also common and are usually made from chicken, lamb, and vegetables (e.g. smoked eggplant).

The main meal is usually eaten in the middle of the day, while dinner is lighter.
