Sohar's restaurants lean toward Indian and Pakistani food — Hyderabadi biryani and tandoor grills are common — alongside Lebanese and pan-Asian options. Seafood is available given the city's fishing tradition. The hotels (particularly Al Wadi Hotel) have multiple restaurants. The market area near the fort has cheap local eateries and shawarma stands. Sohar is not a culinary destination but is adequately served for a transit stop.
