Restaurant Middle eastern restaurant

😠 Was excited getting into this restaurant, but then everything went downward so quickly! Terrible service, the server was taking our order while watching his other tables, getting scared to loose his tips! He took down about half the order wrong, forgot multiple items that weren’t even delivered, BUT... People often mention service, good, restaurant, Palestinian, experience, delicious, Katara, recommend,

    Was excited getting into this restaurant, but then everything went downward so quickly! Terrible service, the server was taking our order while watching his other tables, getting scared to loose his tips! He took down about half the order wrong, forgot multiple items that weren’t even delivered, BUT added to the bill ofcourse. The taste was a miss on all levels, we ordered the labneh which might be the only edible thing in here, tabouli qas so bad and stale, the hummus we never got, the pickles are simply plated out of a can! Mixed grill was terrible and the mansaf was tasteless and all fat tissues! There are alot of better options in Katara, stick to those ones!

    Ard kanaan is very nice place. It is a palestinian restaurant with a nice location in Katara. The food was amazing especially the meza. Also the grilled food was good (though the chicken was bit dry) but was good as will. The staff are the nicest and the service was fast. Ordering 2 main courses, 4 side dishes and drink for slightly over 300 QAR wasn't bad compared to the portions, the taste and location. I will go back there for sure inshallah.

    Tried all kind of food from here.. 5⭐ Excellent service, all the dishes in their menu is good but unfortunately its very expensive. The quantity is quite less for the price its available for mayb due to their luxurious service and ambience. At the end beautiful restaurant but quite expensive.

    Authentic Palestinian cuisine. Reminds me of my mother’s food back home. Staff is super friendly and love to play with our children and make them feel at home. They make sure all needs are met and you enjoy your meal. I order Tabouleh, Msakhan, grilled chicken, freekeh, and lentil soup, and grape leaves. All delicious. Prices are above average, but not expensive.

    Amazing ambiance. High quality Palestinian food. Beetroot paste was very delicious, stuffed falafels are very crunchy on the outside and thick green filling in the inside with onions, a must try. Their showcased main course is Qedrah with meat, it was a pretty large portion and well enough for two people.Boiled lamb on a yellow rice with nuts in them is pretty good but dull. However the side sauce coming with it was pretty exciting for our palates. It was like a blue cheese flavored very thin liquid. Went quite well with the rice and lamb. Beware a simple bottle of water is exorbitantly expensive! A simple trick that all restaurants are to blame for in this country but this was outside of the ripping people off bounds. This is the sole reason I am giving a 4 star instead of 5.

    The food was good, although not as pictured on their Instagram. Service was really lacking. The table was not set even though we had made a reservation the day before and there was only one other small group in the restaurant when we arrived, and ample staff! Cheap tissues were used as napkins and generally lacking in decent tableware for a restaurant of that caliber. Nothing offered as we waited for food. The waiter didn't seem happy about packing leftovers!

    10/10 because of the service from the manager, food was just good nothing special.

  • 1/5 FOQ No n. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the worst experience I ever had in Qatar when it comes to restaurants. The manger has a lack of experience and no professionalism at all. I ordered appetizers and main dishes. The appetizers were received with cold bread and no plates or spoons. We didn’t get the main dishes even though we stayed for an extra hour. We canceled the orders with no apologies or even a trail to correct the situation

  • 4/5 ABDULLAH A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice restaurant, Mediterranean food. Two comments: 1. They did not have table cloths available, so I had to use tissue. 2. They brought the water in the bottle without a glass, until I requested one. The food was very good, I ordered rocca salad and obergine fattah. Would recommend to visit.

  • 1/5 Monjed A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food quality is very bad. As a Palestinian this has nothing to do with Palestinian food. Also the service is the worst, they brought the starters after we were done with main course. Rude people! Stay away.

    The Mansaf was a delightful culinary experience, complemented by its flavorful sauce. We relished the opportunity to savor it in the traditional manner, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the dish.

    We had a team dinner in this restaurant and it was amazing. Service was impeccable and the food super delicious. Hope it remains the same.

  • 5/5 Shahid H. 4 months ago on Google
    Wow. What a FANTASTIC dining experience. The location, the style, design and service as well as the authentic feel of being in incredible Jerusalem and Palestine. In fact, authentic art plus architectural delights can be seen and almost feel lived in. Loved the welcome, the ambience especially the food. Would recommend and be back in a flash. Definitely a must when in Doha Qatar

    Food was amazing and way too much. The price was a little high but if I could have taken a to go box it would have been worth it.

  • 5/5 N A. 2 years ago on Google
    Authentic Palestinian style dishes ( my favorite was the stuffed falafel). Great place for iftars in Ramadan. I really enjoyed the celebration of Palestinian culture and cuisine.

    Very good restaurant

  • 5/5 Ismaeel 1 year ago on Google
    If there were more than five stars rating they'd deserve it. The whole experience is perfect from the reception and mini museum with Palestinian customs and the details in decoration it's like taking a trip to Palestine. And ofcourse the food was perfect, delicious, good portions with reasonable prices.

    Very nice large key with Arabic scribe, at the Katara Village.

  • 4/5 Manaf K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and flavoursome variety of food. Especially the appetizers. An experience to savour 😁

  • 5/5 John H. 2 years ago on Google
    A must visit if you are in Katara. The quality of the food is of the highest standard, the interior is amazing but most of all the Manager and his staff are fantastic people. Will be back again when next in Doha.

    Delicious food, beautiful place and very friendly and hospitable staff🌹🌹

  • 5/5 Ksenia M. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent authentic Palestinian food, beautiful decor and professional and friendly service! Highly recommended. Highlights of the menu for us we chicken mussakhan, falafel, and their signature chicken and rice dish. If the weather permits, you can sit outside to enjoy the sea breeze and views of Katara.

  • 5/5 Anis S. 5 years ago on Google
    a unique place looks like none of the restaurants I've been to before. restaurant is located in CATARA / DOHA ( a lovely place with many cultural attractions). The entrance with typical palestinian dresses under the alcoves copied over the entrance of almasjid alaksa is so charming. furniture is also typical (chairs are made of fabric and embroideries with palestinian motifs) food is excellent with that subtle oriental sent and flavor. highly recommend

👍👍 Cosy and peaceful restaurant to dine out. Food has texture, it's flavorful and very well presented like a piece of art. Mind-blowing service. Staff is very friendly and professional. They also have nice outside seating also. Yes it's bit pricey but it's actually worth paying. I highly recommend it.
