Qatari cuisine is a subtle blend of influences from India, Persia and Lebanon, and North Africa, and much like the landscape of the country, is constantly evolving.
For those who love a room with a view, Al Shurfa (the balcony) is just the ticket. More than a restaurant, it’s a happening place to hang out and look out over the heart of old Doha and the famous Souq Waqif. The cuisine is Lebanese/Mediterranean and there are various flavours of shisha available too.
