Al Shurfa Arabic Lounge

Restaurant Bar Lounge

👍 Went to the rooftop restaurant. It has a nice ambience with a nice crowd. The views of the corniche and night-lit buildings is amazing. Since it was ending of winter the breeze was amazing. The starters were nice ranging between QAR 20-45 per dish. The signature mixed grill was QAR 185 for 2 people... People often mention view, service, good, nice, great, restaurant, Great, delicious, shisha, staff,

    Went to the rooftop restaurant. It has a nice ambience with a nice crowd. The views of the corniche and night-lit buildings is amazing. Since it was ending of winter the breeze was amazing. The starters were nice ranging between QAR 20-45 per dish. The signature mixed grill was QAR 185 for 2 people or up to 3 people. Veg options are limited and mostly available in starters (but tasty). For main course veg options are not explicitly mentioned there (on the menu at least). Quesadillas, finger food was great. Fresh juices/drinks also range from QAR 20 onwards but wasn’t as good as expected. Shisha is also good costing QAR 55 or 65 depending on flavors. Overall it’s a very nice and decent place to be with nice service too.

    I tried their Shisha and it was the best shisha with reasonable price and the ambience was very nice with great rooftop view.A place to recommend visit. But the staff was kind of not present all the time and also they feel great difficulty in understanding English

    The lounge is amazing! The atmosphere is made for relaxed dining or having a beverage in a private and cozy ambience. The balcony is perfect for enjoying the spectacular view of the Doha’s skyline. The staff are very professional and friendly. Prices are affordable and the menu is made very easy for deciding. Highly recommended

    The mixed grill is some of the nicest meat I've had in my life. We didn't know lamb could taste like that! Very professional and friendly staff who were very attentive, and a lovely view.

    Amazing views and shisha!! Service was fantastic. Grilled meats were delicious. It is located in the boutique hotel in the souqs on the top floor. The specialty drinks were good as well. Have not had one thing we didn’t like. I will definitely return.

    Hi everyone. Before I mention about there food. I would like to admire the view. It’s mind blowing. It gives the Doha skyline view. I was there in the evening. For that experience you all must visit. When it comes to food, I had there Mexican tacos and I had a bite from my friends quesadilla huuhhh that’s tasty as well. It was delicious and shisha was good. Highly recommended.

    I sat out on balcony for my meal so had great views. Staff were friendly and professional and my food was delicious. Everything was very clean and they took my temperature and checked my ehteraz app on entry to the building. The restaurant also made sure the correct distances were in place for the tables. I felt very safe in these Covid19 times. I intend to come here again if I get the chance.

    Best steakhouse in Doha period. The food is expensive but well worth the price, they have a nice collection of different cuts of meat, chefs are very talented. Food is cooked perfectly. Staff is kind and professional. The hotel itself is amazing

  • 5/5 Muhammad N. 3 years ago on Google
    One of Doha's best grill/steakhouses, offering quality cuts of meat and a huge variety of dishes to complement your meal. The ambience is great for a cozy date night with your partner or an evening catch-up over dinner with friends. They also offer a gorgeous outdoor seating area. The staff are well trained, friendly and always sporting a smile.

    Ordered the tomahawk chef's special well done. Was excellent. Sides were enjoyable as well. Not sure if the chef would've taken recommendations on the seasoning before hand. None the less, worth the 50 min wait. Staff serving us was a little condescending. Got a vibe that the staff felt like we didn't belong there. But then again, gotten used to it living in the middle East. I've seen worse. 5 stars for food and ambience. 3 for service.

    My husband and I came here for lunch, as we'd read the reviews (all very good) and the view looked spectacular. The view absolutely lived up to expectations. It was a beautiful setting, and I'm sure if you were just there for the shisha or maybe an appetizer, it would be fine. However, we arrived at 12:30 (one of the only 2 tables) and ordered the business lunch about 10 minutes later. We then didn't receive the appetizers or drinks (a tea and diet coke) until 40 minutes after we'd arrived, and it took about 20 more for the mains to arrive (chicken dishes). The appetizers were nice (hummus and tabbouleh) but the chicken was dry and tasted burnt, and the garlic sauce that went with it was bitter. We then had to ask (after another half hour) for our plates to be cleared, and to get dessert and the bill. Now, I've had Umm Ali before and was so looking forward to it, but there were cold pistachios inside and the texture was definitely off. We took one mouthful and left. Overall, although the view and starters were nice, I wouldn't recommend going here for business lunch as the service was very slow and the food just wasn't great.

    Perfect spot and amazing food. The view from the restaurant is stunning. We had a platter of hummus and meat. The meat was really juicy. For basil lovers basil lemonade is a must, super fresh and sour at the same time. I definitely recommend this place if you want to have a nice food and peaceful time with a view.

  • 3/5 Danijela T. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is OK, but not more than that. Appetizer was good except baba ganoush, that was not even close to the dish it should be. Mixed grill was so so, lamb cutlet was a bit fatty. Funny thing is the fact they serve local tea in Illy cups!!! The view is really beautiful, that is a big plus for the restaurant.

    Great carpaccio and tartare! Speciality of Angus beef. Loved the grilled bone marrow served with the steak. Attention to details, cutlery comes in its own Kraft envelope and remains untouched until you open it. A quiet understated classic.

It was an amazing experience, steak was really delicious, thank you so much Excellent food and service... We also had the aviary burger, the seafood tempura, the salmon and the lamb. I had a burger that was made by chef Bradley and I must say it was the best around...

    We went to the hunters room for lunch me and my friend. I ordered a 6oz patty medium and she ordered a 10oz patty. Mine came perfect mediuem here came burnt so I gave her my half. It's an issue if it's a steak place and they don't know how to get a burger medium. She didn't eat hers so I had to ask them to remove it from the bill when they were going to charge me. I would recommend somewhere else.

    However the restaurant was empty, it took them 10 minutes to take our order after I left my table searching for someone to take our order. The food was having the potential to be great but it totally lacks any salt that we couldn't continue eating without asking for salt. Our order was Arabic chicken with rice which was not practical to just sprinkle the salt to fix it and the result was the end of that lousy experience. The reason I came here was the magnificent view at the rooftop of Aljomrouk hotel but with that service I doubt that I would make it again.

    Nice views. Nice Sheesha. Poor service staff is untrained and don't respond to requests even after asking repeatedly. The seating indoors during summers needs to sorted as it's not planned properly and lot of space is not used appropriately plus the furniture is very old. I hope they improve.

  • 5/5 Stephen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely little restaurant with a great view, fantastic service and awesome food. Lucky and Mr Toms were very friendly and super welcoming and attentive. The mixed grill was some of the best meats we've ever had. The spice rice ws also delicious, as was the trio of dips. I really recommend this place if you want to eat amazing food, up above the bustle of the souk.

  • 5/5 Deea 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great experience. We got 3 dishes and all were really tasty. The pomegranate lemonade was as well delicious. The shisha was very good and smooth. The view from the rooftop is beautiful.

  • 5/5 kheo s. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice rooftop during the day vibes. The hookah flavors were unique and good I had the special mix however there a few others that piqued my interest. Food wise I had a Fattoush salad and a humus plate as well as Moroccan tea. The price was reasonable spent 50 QR on shisha and the setting was beautiful with a view of the water. Definitely worth it it's on the 2nd floor not to be confused with restaurant outside on the 1st floor. Service was also attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 lukas w. 1 year ago on Google
    On the edge of the souk, this bar or restaurant is somewhat hidden on the top floor of a hotel. You have a wonderful view of the skyline and get something delicious to eat and or a good shisha. Prices are great, food is delicious and the service is just as top. In the evening it can be a bit chilly up there, so be sure to bring a sweater if it gets colder in the evening ;)

  • 5/5 Lissette C. 11 months ago on Google
