Eating Out

Sara Abdul Aziz

Off the B ring, best to call for directions (427024 30) Interesting spicy Pakistani cuisine in rather basic surrounds, but is very cheap.

Turkey Central

Great value Turkish food, plus superb and very reasonable carry outs.

I know Turkish food very well, and I must say that they mixed Turkish and Arabic food, and the result is not exciting. Just one example: "fried liver" is absolutely a different dish than the original Turkish one. However, the shish tawooq is amazing and most of the mezza are excellent, particularly the chili labneh.

Extremely good value, and, if one is new to the wide and varied food-types available in Doha, this is certainly a tasty introduction to some more..

Al Sultan

Located on Fariq Al Nasr (Mirghab Street), this restaurant provides excellent food at a great price. The selection of mezze is delicious and the plentiful breads accompanying the dishes enhances the authentic Lebanese dishes. Great take away service as well.

American style food. Adequate food, friendly staff.  It's a place you can hang out when you have had just so much of the local culture and need a break (it happens...).  Good memorabilia.
