Omani food in Salalah tends toward slow-cooked mutton and fish seasoned with cardamom, lime, and dried lemon — simpler and less spiced than Gulf cuisine from further north. Al Fareed Tourist Restaurant on July Street is a reliable local spot for Omani and Indian food at reasonable prices. The Haffa Souk area has several small restaurants good for shawarma and grilled fish. For something more international, the Hilton and Crowne Plaza both have decent restaurants. Traditional Omani coffee (qahwa) and laban (salty buttermilk) are worth trying as drinks.
