Omani cuisine

Kabsa, more commonly known as Machbus in the Khaleeji cuisine.

Omani cuisine is part of the Khaleeji cuisine and is influenced by Arab, Pakistani cuisine, Iranian, Indian, Asian, Eastern Mediterranean, and African cuisine,[1] reflecting Oman's position as a vast trading empire at the intersection of traditional spice trade routes.[2] Dishes are often based on chicken, fish, and lamb, as well as the staple of rice. Most Omani dishes tend to contain a rich mixture of spices, herbs, and marinades.[3] Omani cuisine differs from other cuisines in the Arabian peninsula, as it is less spicy and seldom served warm.[4]

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