"Its one of the good mandi restaurants in Muscat. I loved their shuwa mandi better than other mandi. They have two rice one is barik rice and the other is typical mandi rice. Please take mandi rice because the barik rice doesn't give you the feel of mandi. They have an awesome pickle which comes along the rice. It is so yum and don't forget to ask for an extra pickle."

"When I'm near Ruwi and in the mood for mandi, Zam Zam is my top choice. Their ambiance and staff service are truly excellent. I've enjoyed their regular chicken mandi, alfahm mandi, shuwa mandi, and more; my personal favorite is the regular chicken mandi. The chicken is perfectly cooked, and the mandi rice is delicious."

"Grilled Kofer and chicken was tasty & so was the rice. We had a late lunch, at around 4:00 P.M, most of the items were not available by then. The service was ordinary and nothing to write about."
Sayanth Manohar
Local Guide
"The welcome was neutral and we preferred to get a seat in the mezzanine floor. They have majlis seating as well as table seating. The staff was very cordial. He suggested chicken madfoon for us. Chicken madfoon was tasty with very tender chicken pieces. The dishes are not very expensive and the quantity is sufficient."
