The gastronomic offer of Doha is incredibly varied and suitable for all tastes and budgets. International cuisine is offered by all the large luxury chains, hotels and restaurants in Doha.
You will be able to satisfy your palate even in the most unlikely and, apparently, crumbling places. Even in the traditional souks, the local markets of the city.
WHERE TO EAT IN DOHA
Machboos or Kabsa (also referred to as Majboos) is one of the country’s traditional dishes, consisting of rice with beef, lamb or chicken, prepared with spices and almonds. You can also find it in the sea alternative. It is one of the dishes that they prepare practically everywhere and that can hardly be missing on the tables of the inhabitants. Moreover, in these parts, rice is consumed daily.
In the center there are numerous inns with not excessive prices: Majboos al Walada is located in an excellent position, a short distance from the stop of the red line of the Metro (Al Jadeda).
If you want to taste local dishes, do not miss the delicious zucchini stuffed with lamb. The so-called “Kousa Mahshi” are accompanied by local sauces and bread.
