    I Visited the restaurant on 24th January 2022 for lunch Thali. This restaurant was recommended highly by a friend who is very particular about Indian food. The food was so delicious and full of flavour. The Rasmalai is a must try. Though the tea could have been better. 5/5 for food and the service both.

    i had a lunch with schezwan haka noodles .. The ambience of the hotel is so beautiful & eye catching which give you a feel of not a canteen but some high quality restaurant.. Staff uniform is unique & they are absolutely friendly & amazing.. Interiors, the plates & utensils are just luxurious. One of the best restaurant for families & couples.. Food is delicious with worthy & affordable prices.. Just issue of parking around ..

    The food took a while to be served considering it was a non veg thali for which the items are already prepared. The decor and music was pleasant and inviting. Until it was ruined by a loud family also dining there. We enjoyed the mutton gravy and hot rotis. Their dal makhani was delicious too. The biryani rice was spot on and aromatic. The buttermilk they served was room temperature which should be chilled. Otherwise on the whole it was a good experience.

    A really nice and under rated Indian restaurant. Service can take some time as everything is served fresh. The restaurant opened a few years back and it looks as impeccable as when I went a couple of years back (Pre-COVID)

    It’s too noisy and slow on weekends but the food is great. Try to visit on weekdays , their naan, curries, pulao and starters are amazing. There is a party hall upstairs.

    I will never order food from this restaurant. Money wasted ☹😭 I ordered below items: 1. Chicken Schezwan fried rice: Tasteless and almost no chicken inside. 2. Chicken fried chicken: Below everage taste. Quantity and Quality both were low. 3. Hakla noodles: Horrible! it was just like oil applied boiled noodles.

    The chaat items were bad. The papdi tasted stale. We ordered Sev Puri but they gave us Sev Papdi. I know it’s not much of a difference but matters if you are coming all the way from Saudi to have chaat! Some dishes were good like the Lachha Paratha, Chicken Lollipop. Overall ambience is good but food is not that great.

    I would say the restaurant is just one time visit. The food was average. The ambience and interior is nice. We ordered tandoori jingha, which is tandoori prawns. This is the worst prawn dish i ever had. I felt it a bit salty and tasteless and not worth for 40 riyals. Yes its 40 riyal!. We also ordered mushroom masala and butter naan. Mushroom masala was really good, flavourful curry and best for naan.

    They offer nice veg and non veg options for north Indian cuisine . Food tastes nice and the staff is too courteous. Although sometimes service is a little slow. There is a parking problem, however they offer valet to their customers.

    We ordered Kali mirch rasam which was actually tomato soup without cream /cornflour, but we really loved it, chicken tandoori momos (soft and a little spicy, could have been juicy) again was good, garlic naan (soft and tasteful)+ butter naan, rara ghosh chicken- was not as per name and will not recommend. The ambience is really beautiful. Service was quick and staff is really cooperative.

    One of the best Indian eatery in Qatar! The chef here belongs from Delhi, so yes! HE COOKS AUTHENTIC INDIAN CUSINIE. The ambiance is so subtle, and amazing choice of instrumental music. Right from stepping in to stepping out everything was a winner. We were served by Mr. Yadav, he was so kind and portrayed excellent customer service. Kudos to the team out there. We'd love to visit back.

    Chicken biryani here was really good and the starters like chilli paneer were pretty tasty and paneer was really soft. The ambience is pretty good here

  • 4/5 Tanvi Sudhir P. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was great and so was the service. But the food took time to prepare which was worth the wait. Overall it was a great experience. There are parking problems as well, so i suggest you visit there in a non-crowd time to get a parking soon and enjoy their food. Here we have: • The complimentary appetiser plate • Butter Garlic naan: The soft and easy-to-break naan melts in your mouth and the garlic giving it a perfect zing. 4.5/5 •Mutton Rogan Josh Soft tender mutton and curry made of rich spices. 4.5/5 •Bhendi masala 2/5 •Hyderabadi Dum Mutton Biryani Aromatic, spice filled biryani with soft, melting mutton pieces. 4.5/5 •Ras malai If you have an extreme sweet tooth, then you must try it. It’s sweeeeet. 3/5

    Amazing service , very welcoming staff, from opening the door with a smile to welcome till see off after having the food you will feel the warmth of hospitality. Food choices are amazing , Each dish has its own speciality and with its own unique taste.Ambience is so good with music and the collection is so good I wish they open even karaoke 🎤 for guest in case any one wish to sing 🙂.

    The restaurant has pleasant ambience. Excellent Food and it's well presented. Staff is professional and welcoming. It's one of the best Indian restaurants I have visited in Doha. Keep it up! And keep it maintained as it is now 👌

  • 4/5 deepak c. 11 months ago on Google
    I am not a fan of this restaurant. They serve Indian food and variety of Indian snacks. They do have some very good dishes but the restaurant just besides this i.e. "Kailash Parvat" is a better option for good, mouth watering food. This restaurant serves veg and non veg dishes. The atmosphere and ambience of restaurant is nice. The staff is co-operative. Prices are genuine. You can consider this restaurant for once if u want a change from your regular go to place.

  • 2/5 Nigar S. 2 years ago on Google
    Although this is one of my most favourite restaurant, the new year buffet was super disappointing. They were not prepared. The starters took forever to come. The main course were cold and tasteless. The things that were mentioned in the menu was not there we had to ask again and again for the dishes. And some starters came after the dessert. I paid 700 Qr for my new-year dinner for a restaurant I trusted and left super disappointed. Never going back for buffet again.

  • 5/5 Infused D. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the finest Indian Dining In Qatar. The Ambiance, Staff & The Food at its best. Have Variety of Momos and its our absolute Favorite. You must definitely have Tandoori Momos. The Kebabs, Biryani etc have got unique flavours. And do not forget to try their Rasmalai and Chocolate Fudge topped with Ice cream. Thank you Mr.Ramesh Kumar & Mr.Lama for your quick service.
