I’ll post comments later tonight. I thought I should post these pics of our incredible evening at Safari Rooftop Grillhouse as soon as possible as this restaurant is scheduled to close for the summer on May 1st. If you haven’t been to this restaurant, I highly recommend going before it gets too hot!
b+f diner doesn’t look like much when passing by it through Bareeq al Shatti Mall in the daytime. It looks much cooler at night with the lights on, I think, making it seem to be ”the place to be”.
b+f seems pretty popular with younger folk (yes, I’m getting quite old!) and with Omanis of all ages. We’ve been there several times and enjoy their food as well as the reasonable prices. What we don’t like of course is the incredibly long wait we are always subjected to, first to be seated and then to receive our food. That being said, here are a few things we’ve enjoyed from the menu:
Soup of the day on our latest visit was Corn Chowder. 2 of us enjoyed this soup a lot but then again I was very hungry from the 40-minute wait for our food, haha! (1.95 RO) In hindsight, maybe our food took so long because my wife asked the waiter to bring all the food at the same time…
This is one of 2 “mini burgers” known as “Sliders”. Mine was the “Under the Sea” Fish Burger (1.9 OR) which was quite tasty. I wonder when they started this “slider” option. Was it copied off Gourmet Burger? I wonder that because even Chilli’s has this option now and before GB I never saw this option. Anyway, you can also choose the standard burger size as well. I was surprised to learn that fries don’t come with the burgers there! (Maybe they should change it to “b or f diner” instead of “b + f diner”, haha!) The B+F Fries are only 0.975 rials (so I shouldn’t complain) and they’re delicious!
The 2 ladies at our table both had the Rack of Lamb (5.9 OR/each) which they enjoyed immensely. The wife said it was a tad bit spicy. Now that I think about it, the soup had a bit of a kick to it as well. Maybe that’s why so many Indians and Omanis seem to enjoy b+f. Just a thought.
To give you an idea of the prices, there were 4 of us and our bill came to 25.148 rials for 2 soups, 1 fries, 1 phily RT beef burger, 2 rack of lamb, 1 under the sea burger, 3 mineral water and 1 Dr. Pepper. No bad at all! Here are a few other dishes I’ve had on other visits:
Just in case you thought b+f only served burgers and fries! 
This steak was SO good!
If you haven’t been to b+f’s yet, I highly recommend the place especially if you happen to be in the Bareeq al Shatti neighborhood. Check out their facebook page. They have a few pics, including 16 pages of their menu! There is so much to choose from that I always have a problem trying to decide what to order when I’m there!

If you want to get a great steak, RBG Grill in Park Inn is your place! It’s located on the ground floor. This is one HAPPENING place, so you might want to make a reservation if you go.
Lamb Chops (9 OR) They ladies loved their lamb chops!
Sirloin Steak (12.5 OR) This steak was SO good! I thought it looked kind of small when they first brought it, but it was so filling! We did find it a little odd that they placed the steak on the mashed potatoes but maybe that is the style in some parts. (?)
T-Bone Steak (14 OR) My friend wrote that his T-Bone Steak was “marvelous”, “taste, structure, amount were great” as he wrote on the comment form.
The most important part of the menu! (and my shadow!)
They have specials like the ones you see posted above all the time!

RBG stands for “Red Bar Grill” in case you were wondering. Anyone been here? Did you enjoy it as much as we did?
I’ve heard time and time again that Al Tajin at Radisson Blu (in Al Khuwair) is the place to go for good steak in Muscat so I decided to surprise my honey and take her there as part of her birthday celebration.
Tajin Grillhouse is simple and small but rather charming.
I love the Omani door art pieces just above the kitchen!
The prices are somewhat expensive but not really that steep when you consider that it comes with a starter buffet and a dessert buffet as part of the deal!
The starter buffet, our friendly waiter and my honey’s elbow, ha!ha!
2 of the Al Tajin chefs
This dish, Surf & Turf, was my meal and boy was it ever good! (18.803 RO)
My honey was equally impressed with her Fisherman’s Platter. (20.512 RO) The dishes are quite large so many people (the waiter told us) order one dish and share it. Because of the starter and dessert buffets, this is totally doable.
If you’re looking for a nice quiet place for a romantic evening out (with great steak!), Tajin is a good choice. It’s also a wonderful restaurant to surprise someone celebrating a birthday if you call in advance and let the staff at Tajin know! This is a must of course if you wish to have them put the person’s name on the cake. Check out the cake they provided (free of charge!) below. Most importantly, they didn’t spoil the surprise and together we really caught my wife off guard when the cake, candles and singing started, ha!ha! (I would highly recommend anyone taking advantage of this birthday offer to tip extremely well otherwise that just wouldn’t be right.)
Has anyone reading this been to Tajin? What was your experience? We were impressed and we definitely plan on returning! (Tel: 24487777) Open daily 6am-midnight. Licensed and all major credit cards accepted.
