Fodor's Expert Review Tche Tche
Al Shati Street is locally called "Beach Road" or "Love Street" as the short stretch of beachfront road is packed nightly with young Omanis cruising in their shiny Lamborghinis and Mustangs, hanging out of the roofs of their Jeep Wranglers, or revving the engines of sports bikes and Harleys, austensibly showing off for girls, but more realistically hotdogging it up for one another. The cafés that line the street overlooking the sea also fill with couples and groups, who spend the cooler evening hours drinking tea and fresh juice cocktails and smoking sheesha. Tche Tche offers spectacular views of both the beach and the pagentry of the busy street. Food is available in addition to an extensive menu of teas, coffees, and juices, but it's an afterthought, as this is a place best visited for a leisurely evening of chatting and people-watching, not dinner.
No alcohol is available.
