About Rozna Restaurant

Rozna is die enigste Omani-restaurant in Oman wat soos 'n ou fort gemodelleer is. Omani's is regoor die ME bekend vir hul gasvryheid en is trots op hul geskiedenis en erfenis. Die diens in Rozna weerspieël hierdie tradisie ruimskoots. Vrouekelners is geklee in die Omaanse kostuum van lang tuniek en los broeke, en mans in dishdasha met gepaste hoofbedekkings.

Unique Properties: Rozna is the only fine-dining Omani restaurant in Oman that is modelled like an ancient fort. Omanis are known across the ME for their hospitality and are proud of their history and heritage. The service in Rozna amply reflects this tradition. Women waiters are dressed in the Omani costume of long tunic and loose trousers, and men in dishdasha with appropriate headgears.
Dimensions & Packaging: Rozna was packaged in such a way to bring out Omani families to dine out. The forte of dine-out which was reserved mainly for younger group has evolved to include women of all age-group, thanks to Rozna. The private rooms, each of which caters to a group of up to ten guests, is always in demand and that proves the right market positioning.

Production Technology: The service and food menu was curated keeping in mind the variety of food resources available in Oman since olden times, and also the need for privacy that families seek when going out for dinner or lunch. Traditionally Omani families prefer to dine out in the privacy of a separate enclosure or room. Rozna perfectly caters to this aspect with its 30 private rooms.
Design Challenge: Oman’s own cuisine has depended on a variety of available local resources and was also influenced by many external factors, like trading influences. Rozna’s menu factors all of these, in curating a specially researched menu that is popular and palate-friendly
Research: Time-tested Omani dishes were tried at different traditional kitchens, before arriving at a specially curated menu for Rozna. The signature rice dish, for example, uses Omm Suleiman’s spices, which translates to Suleiman’s mother’s spices, which shows that time-tested secret recipes are used to bring the signature flavor and taste.
Inspiration: Oman is steeped in traditional values and is well- known for upholding the historical and traditional emblems and way of life. The promoters of Rozna wanted to provide mouth-watering authentic Omani food, in a bespoke ambience. The big chasm in the fine-dining segment for a country that is well-endowed with food resources and history of cuisine, prompted them to deliver Rozna to the people of Oman.
Project Duration: July 2018 in Muscat, Oman
Operation Flow: Rozna was conceived as an exclusive fine-dining restaurant that offers a culinary experience of authentic tastes of traditional Omani dishes. The owners placed their intuition in the right direction & their intuition proved them right. The specially curated menu has typical Omani delicacies like Harees (meat cooked with crushed boiled wheat and spices) and Omani shuwa (slow-cooked marinated mutton), among many others.
