The Secret Garden

Restaurant Bar Lounge

👍 The secret garden is a nice place. I like the spot and how it looks the most. When it comes to food it was ok, same with the drinks. I had shrimps and truffle mushrooms + wine. I am giving 4/5 since the place is in the nice spot, drinks and food are ok too, but doesn’t deserve a 5 as nothing impress... People often mention nice, good, view, service, amazing, drinks, Great, atmosphere, great, wine,

I am giving 4/5 since the place is in the nice spot, drinks and food are ok too, but doesn’t deserve a 5 as nothing impressed me a lot. There was no drink, food or the staff that made me feel like ,wow this place is 5 star. I would say it’s an average, cool place that has potential for better.

    Nice place and good atmosphere. Great views. Cocktails very good and reasonable prices. Service alright not that friendly. Surprised bar didn't serve nuts on tables. Mens toilets very dark inside but of course super clean. Overall recommended.

    Terribly disappointing behavior from Hostess who brought us for sit. The place wasn’t busy at all..Her awful attitude severely disturbed our whole group’s thrilling moments at once. Since we just ignored her breach of etiquette, seen she’s perfectly smiling and welcoming based on ethnicity. Great ambiance, amazing food, Good waitresses & average drinks..

    The ambiance is really nice and it's perfect with the cold weather We liked the drinks as well be we wouldn't recommend the food that much Pizza was nice but otherwise, it was not worth it at all The steak was the worst honestly and the fries was less than normal & when it comes to the shrimp kunafa which is the best seller i would say no as well

    The terrace and view is amazing, would recommend getting there for sunset. They had fans and air condition units so was a comfortable temperature!

    At all the priority for who I know there ! I booked outdoor on the basis of being admitted to the restaurant inside. In addition, I was informed thay will tried to give me a table, I was from 9 o’clock there, I waited until 11 and I was not notified for anything, even though the reservations department and the manager were contacted! The point is not that I am waiting, but there were people after me came without a reservation for the indoor area ( antika )they took a table inside and I went to ask them , and this is happen because only the employee knows them !!!

    Rooftop restaurant and cafe. One of the best outdoors places. Perfect view and nice stuff Make a reservation before you go. The place is closed on Sunday. They serve alcohol. Perfect for a date or a group of cool friends. The food is very good.

    Great views over Lusail into the sunset. Catch the happy hour 5 to 7 for cheaper wine, couple of cocktails and beers. Doughy pizzas on nearby tables also looked amazing, and will definitely order next time too.

  • 1/5 Cheryl S. 2 years ago on Google
    I go to there regularly with friends. I made a booking 2 weeks for New Years Eve, which was accepted and the reservation was made. Yesterday 18 December 2021 management phones me to say I cannot come on that day because we only 2. All other Saturdays were good enough for 2 people , suddenly because of new year's eve we cannot come unless we are 4 people. I think it's disgusting and unethical. Our money was good enough for all Saturdays but not for this particular Saturday

    Great place with an amazing view. It's on the pricey side but table service is good and the atmosphere is really cool. There is music but it's not too over powering. DJ playing cool house beach beats. Enjoy

  • 5/5 Deniz T. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a sea food pizza, it was on rod best in the city I strongly suggest. Place has a beautiful terrace, nice view, always good music and everytime I am also happy with the service.

  • 3/5 Ellie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Usually love this place and visit often but unfortunately had a more disappointing experience on my last visit and when I sent feedback via email, it was not even acknowledged and I never received a reply. It is a shame that they are not interested in customer satisfaction, as when the World Cup is over they will need the residents to keep visiting. The views as always were amazing and the food and drinks were great, but the same could not be said about the service as I sat with dirty plates in front of me for over an hour.

    I just want to say a HUGE thank you to the Secret Garden crew for making our reservation of 40 people so brilliant. They were a fantastic help from start to finish, looked after everyone so well and the waitress was exceptionally good - great service and a lovely person. The manager was also amazing and helped accommodate my requests. Thank you guys I really appreciate all your help. Food was exceptional and had amazing feedback from our colleagues! THANK YOU GUYS YOU'RE AMAZING.

    Secret Garden is one of the nicer spots to enjoy a few drinks and nibbles particularly over the coolers months but they do have fans during the summer. The location is great over looking the sea. Happy hour is well priced, service can be a little on the slow side however

  • 4/5 Norb K. 1 year ago on Google
    Pros: Really nice rooftop terrace with stunning view over the Perl. Mostly friendly stuff. Cons: Dress code. One of the waiters just took my glass without asking my permission, I was going to drink the last 2 sips left. Very rude. I’m disappointed.

  • 5/5 Anuj C. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a really nice luxurious place with a lovely view mostly during the day or in the evening, not bad at night too... The entrance is very dramatic or as the name suggests "secret". The lift takes a bit longer than expected, The staff at the welcome desk are very welcoming and helpful so was the service staff, very accommodating as per your needs. The food was not bad,I had high hopes for the pizza, pasta was a bit too sweet but in their defence, maybe it was supposed to be sweet, the desert stole the show for me. Overall it is definitely a 5 star place with amazing hospitality and nice food, perfect to spend a nice evening with your loved once.

    I ordered the prawn satay and truffle fries. I ordered white wine, they brought red. When the white came, it was served room temp…the truffle fries were cold and soggy and I tasted no truffles. The view is to die for though, so that’s why I gave 3 stars. The server did offer me a free glass of wine when I got my bill so I do appreciate that.

  • 4/5 Eben V. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful location and setup. Boring food menu robs it of 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Leila R. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place's ambience! A rooftop bar with light color furniture n lots of trees! With an amazing view to the Pearl!

  • 5/5 Jihyun M. 3 years ago on Google
    Best Christmas ever! They know how to make the pizza. Weather was bit windy to stay on the rooftop but nice staffs took care of us very well.. And especially Mr.Fuji with his talented photographic skills made our night, thank you so much! You are the best

  • 5/5 Taj J. 5 years ago on Google
    A very nice outdoor location with delicious food and interesting entertainment! The wine selection isn’t bad either and the waiters know exactly how to help you find what you need!

  • 3/5 Olivier S. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice exterior location, fashionable people, good view over the water. Downsides: drinks are pretty expensive compared to other locations (similar pricing but you get smaller qty), the food menu is very very limited, providing the item most interesting being pizzas, although tasty. By knowing that currently due to Covid rules it is required to order food with any drinks, they definitely need to improve their food. The tables are not well shaped suited to eat from, as the couches do not have the same shape as the tables. It makes it a bit less classy than it appears when you would only go for a drink.

  • 5/5 Sinyeong E. 3 years ago on Google
    Fell in love with this place at first sight! All the staffs in The Secret Garden are amazingly friendly and they offer another level of service. Thanks to our server Ashley and the manager so much. We had such a nice time all because of them. Plus, it has a lovely atmosphere! And the Crazy Mushroom pizza is on point👍

    Amazing view and good atmosphere and nice vibes, cool place to have drinks with friends 👌

  • 4/5 Soufiane M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing terrace with view all over Lusail. Nice atmosphere and good Lounge music. The food is average but the prices are OK. At some point they put the music extremely loud for no reason (no one is allowed to dance anyway) and depiste asking them to reduce the sound they just kept it maximum. If it happens to you, just do the job yourself and disconnect the speaker next to you. You're never served better than by yourself

  • 4/5 Shereen D. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is always good here - don't leave without trying the truffle pizza. Great views and a top rooftop spot. The quality of crowd has slowly declined over the years but it still remains a favourite.

  • 5/5 T C. 2 years ago on Google

👍👍 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.
