The décor of this restaurant fits in well with the resort hotel that houses it – relaxed and Mediterranean in style, with cheeky explanations for its name in the form of turquoise mosaics, inlaid with silvery mother-of-pearl. Catering mainly to tourists, the buffet spread is understandably international and generously-portioned, with Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Malay and Italian cuisines all well represented, but mystifyingly, no abalone. The main attraction is the shawarma rotisserie: well-marinated spicy skewers of chicken are slow roasted until moist and smoky, and served in pitta bread with cous cous. Service is cheery and efficient.WINE: The hotel wine list offers a decent selection by the bottle and by the glass.
