Melenzane

Restaurant Italian restaurant

👍 Another first try!!! And it was all WORTH IT ⭐️ Melenzane has only 1 branch and thats in DFC. We had their best selling lasagna and mushroom chicken pasta. It was saucy and creamy just the way i liked. The lasagna was super delicious and divine 🤤. Very cozy place for dinner Ambiance is good, staff... People often mention good, service, risotto, pasta,

    One of the worthy Italian restaurants in Qatar. The dessert section is to just perfect 🤩 tiramisu and milk cake were the star cake. We had one of the best risotto in Qatar here. Their starters tasted amazing as well. Overall any good lover would appreciate the place. Good service as well.

    We had delivery. Obviously, delivery quality isn't the same as in-person dining quality, but the food was not worth the price they ask. It's good, but not as good on delivery as Carluccio's, for example, which is less expensive. We will eat here again, but probably not delivery. Pocket pasta was nothing to write home about, and though I really enjoyed the crust on the pizza, it was delivered in shambles.

    Excellent waiter service, nice place to eat, and the food was ok. The only thing is that there were too much black pepper in everything, even in the pasta.

    This is a 6 star restaurant! Danger, danger, you will over eat, you’ll consume lots of calories, but in life, sometimes you simply need to indulge. Presentation 💯 Taste 💯 Service 💯 I first tried them in Kuwait then Dubai and now in Doha. I’ll follow them everywhere. MAKE SURE TO ORDER THE Milly Cake. And if you feel guilty afterwards, don’t blame me.

    Service was good and the food was exceptional. Had the short rob risotto, quinoa tabouli salad, oregano fries - I'd highly recommend the quinoa tabouli salad and short rib risotto.

    This was my first visit and when we went, the place was almost empty. First thing you notice is the weird waiters outfit! I really don't understand who decided to have a jumpsuit with long sport socks as an outfit, but I felt so sad for the waiters having to wear this uniform! The service was lacking, communication with waiters and receptionist wasn't smooth. They were nice but it didn't feel professional. Moreover, we felt they were kicking us out, after less than 1.5 hrs of arriving, they gave us wet wipes and then started clearing the table. Not to mention, hovering many times around us including the receptionist! To clarify, we ordered many things, it wasn't like we were sitting there doing nothing! The food took a very long time, the risotto arrived after more than 30 mins! The food didn't taste high quality to me. The pizza we ordered was flavorful and had a promising flavors mix. The crust was crunchy and tasty too. But, it had chicken that was powdery, and too much fried kale that it was unpleasant. The kale wasn't even mentioned on the menu so it was surprising. The short ribs risotto was a tiny portion, and the rice it self was lacking in flavor but had good cooked but not mushy texture. The crispy onion wasn't a great addition. The appetizer was actually the star of the show it was crunchy fries with nice sauce and other items with different textures.

    When i sat down i gave the order and specifically asked from the waiter that i want to start with Melenzane and then continue with seafood pasta ! Guess what ? Food came all together . Before my starter arrived , there was no bread served for me but there was for the table next to me ..so i had to ask for it and no apologies or so ever from the staff , they only said "we will get you bread if you want " ... then i call the manager and he only said "i will take care " .... no quality check was done on the table and no clearance until i called ... wanted to order my coffee after and i call the waiter but what he does ? he comes with the bill 🤦‍♂️ ! Excited to try the food before i came (it was good but slightly overpriced in my opinion) but not going back 🤷‍♂️

    One of our favourite restaurants in Gulf mall. Beautiful interior, clean and neat. Yummy and well presented food. Great sevice with friendly staff. Great dining experience overall My favourites are tomato lentil soup, oregano fries, lasagna, aglio e olio with chicken,short ribs risotto, penne arabita and the tiramisu. These are chosen from the tried dishes and have many more to try. Pretty good portion size also👍 Wish they had entertainer vouchers for a more frequent visit.

    The food is good, but the hygiene level of the cooks is terrible, you can see them using their personal phone with their gloves on and then touch directly the food. Do they not know how many germs are on their phone that probably take with them to the toilet. This is the second time we come to this restaurant and we noticed this. We won’t be back again!

    I ordered the Burrata pizza and oregano fries. Allow me to first say that the packaging was amazing and visually appealing. However, the food tasted horrible. The fries were super oily and crunchy it felt like eating fried oil! The pizza tasted horrible along with the sauce. The only good thing about it was the pizza dough. For the money I paid, it was definitely not worth it. Nothing similar to Italian food.
