Tucked away in a little spot between The Centre and Radisson Blu, the interiors boast of a middle eastern set up with comfortable couches and tables for customers to relax and get refreshed at this joint.

As you enter this 24/7 open restaurant, you are greeted by the waiters whose hospitality is one of a kind. One that you’ll definitely remember. They take the time out to know your name and where you’re from while serving. The female waitresses in the day shift are especially nice and generous with their compliments. They sure know how to pick your day up.

Coming to the main activity of this restaurant, Shisha! Every Arab’s and expat’s favorite evening activity is to relax over a pot of hubble-bubble. The bubble lasts long because of their coals and changing times. The place always smells great cos of the many flavors in the air. It can get a little stuffy on the weekends when the place is full. Price: 40-50 qar/-

The food is just yumm! Traditional Jordanian, Syrian and Lebanese food is prepared for customers. From quick bites like the fattoush, lebneh zaatar fatyers and kibbeh to main course dishes like mixed grill and mansaf, everything is delicious.

For non-smokers there is an area upstairs to enjoy the delicious eats. The restaurant also has TVs mounted up on the walls for viewing football matches or special shows during Ramadan.

Drive in to this place for a relaxed evening and let us know your experience!
