Is IKA worth trying, even if it is hard to reach with all the roadworks? Yes! I went for the taco Saturday and the deal is great! The tacos are the real Mexican ones and they are incredibly good. It's a new restaurant, so I thought it's when it is time to take advantage till the good level keeps up, because, if you know Doha, no restaurant really lasts in quality. Highly recommended.

A must visit South American fusion restaurant in the heart of West Bay. Simple menu but filled with incredible flavor. The star of the show for me were the Char Grilled King Prawns topped with tobiko and their delicious sweet Pulled Beef Waffles with barbecue sauce and cheese. To start we had their Guacamole with pomegranates and Hamour ceviche (fresh and light). For the main course, tried their Brisket Tacos (very tender beef), Char Grilled King Prawns, Pulled Beef Waffles and their Bao Crab (a whole soft shell crab, crunchy yet tender inside). Will definitely come back again to try their other dishes. Food: 8/10 Price: 8/10 Location: 9/10 Recommend: Char Grilled King Prawns Pulled Beef Waffles Brisket Tacos

The service was excellent. Foods and drinks were delectable and a bit too much for both my husband and I. The staff were attentive, approachable and accommodating. Mr Rodney and the rest of the staff took turns in checking if we needed anything. We enjoyed our time celebrating Christmas along with the festive atmosphere. Kudos to everyone of the staff who worked hard and ensured that everyone had a wonderful time.

Loved the Friday brunch variety. Food experience was great, service was very lovely, especially Aldana Celeste....Family friendly atmosphere, with inviting latin music....Need a special thank you to the F& B management represented by Mr. Firas, who was very kind, welcoming & gracious....highly recommend the IKA experience👍👍👍

The place looks really nice inside and it's quite spacious. We had different dishes like ceviche, cachapas, empanadas, bao crab, and taco beef from the menu. I suggest trying the ceviche and the empanadas because those were our favorites. The ceviche had an amazing flavor, and we even ordered it again because we loved it so much. However, we don't recommend the bao crab. The ceviche set such high expectations for the other dishes, but only the empanadas came close to meeting them. For drinks, we had the berry delight and fizzy ginger from their mocktail selection. The berry delight is really nice, so I recommend giving it a try!

Really good brunch with very fine food preparation. Definitely one of the best brunches in town. It is not a buffet, so the chef cooks everything just for you, that makes it way better. The service is on a high level. And you can use Entertainer. So 250QR for two ppl including soft drinks and juices is an unbeatable deal.

Wow just amazing! we had a birthday dinner last night and glad that we chose this restaurant for it. We’ve tried all south american restaurant in Doha, but the service and food at IKA was the best! We tried the calamari, guacamole, kale salad and umami fries for starters. Main was duck confit, seabass, and the chicken. The highlight was the birthday surprise! The dessert tower. It was amazing! And all the desserts were delicious. Special thanks to the team at IKA last night for making it amazing. Will definitely come again.

Überbewertet - eher durchschnittlich. Das Restaurant liegt in einem Hotel, nüchterne Einrichtung. Gute Musik. Ceviche habe ich schon öfter gegessen, diesmal einfach zu viel Salz. Das gleiche gilt für die andere Vorspeise meiner Frau. Fazit - eher nicht -.

Me and my husband went to IKA for New Year’s eve, we really enjoyed the food and the attention, they had a set menu but accommodated a vegan one for me, it was mind blowing, wonderful, fancy and delicious, I really would like that they have. vegan menu in the daily basis.

Visited IKA for their 3-course business lunch and we absolutely loved it. We were served by the lovely Aldana and she was very helpful with food recommendations based on our preferences. Highly recommend the Tiradito and Beef Nigiri! The staff were also lively and the restaurant itself was great. The price for the portions and quality of food is very good, would definitely come back here again!

I recently experienced the culinary delight at IKA South American in Aleph Doha Residences, Curio Collection by Hilton (Doha, Qatar) , indulging in their irresistible seafood night package offered every Wednesday. At just 249qr for the all-you-can-eat feast with soft beverages or 359qr with house beverages, it's an offer you can't resist. Picture this: a menu that's a harmonious fusion of Peruvian and Japanese cuisines, starring premium seafood delights like succulent scallops, aromatic truffles, exquisite cod, and delectable mussels – all my personal favorites! 😍 Each dish, a masterpiece crafted freshly and presented tapas-style, showcases the culinary artistry of IKA. What elevates the experience is their selection of house beverages, including the exotic touch of Japanese sake, making it an irresistible deal. 🐟🐟 Tiradito carretillero 🐟🐟 A symphony of flavors unfolds with fresh white fish, the richness of avocado, sweetness from sweet potatoes, crispy South American corn chips, and tantalizingly crispy fried squid. It's a spoon-licking sensation of light but incredibly tasty indulgence! 🍣🍣 Hotate truffles nigiri 🍣🍣 Imagine fresh Japanese scallops adorned with crispy fish roe and aromatic truffles – my absolute favorite! A word of caution: it's so delightful that you might find yourself satiated before the next courses! 🐚 🐚 Mussel a la chalaca 🐚 🐚 Experience a refreshing salsa dancing atop fresh mussels, delivering a medley of crispy textures from tomatoes, corn, a hint of spice from shallot and bell pepper, all embraced by the rich taste of avocado. It's a delightful, airy dish that leaves a lasting impression. 🐡🐡 Nikkei Salmon Sashimi 🐡🐡 Embark on a flavor journey with the luscious dance of smoked salmon and the opulence of avocado, beautifully orchestrated in a symphony of salty and sour perfection. 🍙🍘 Spicy Tuna Rolls 🍙🍘 Indulge in a tantalizing adventure as you savor these delectable sushi rolls. Fresh minced tuna takes center stage, elevated by the subtle heat of a Latino-style sauce, creating a taste sensation that's simply irresistible. 🌮🌮 Street fish taco 🌮🌮 A symphony of crispy fried fish fillet, tantalizing sauce, and a vibrant blend of veggies, all wrapped up in a taco – an irresistible combination! 🍤🍤 Shrimp tempura 🍤🍤 Visualize a burst of freshness as you bite into a prawn, freshly fried in new oil – not oily, served piping hot and wonderfully crispy. Simple, yet undeniably delicious! 🐋🐋 Miso-Mirasol Cod 🐋🐋 Cod fish marinated in the sweet and salty embrace of miso, perfectly paired with fried rice carrying the alluring aroma of the wok. This is one that you shouldn't missed! 🐋🦀 Jalea Mixta 🦐🦑 IKA excels in the art of frying – every bite of their hot, freshly-made fried seafood is a testament to their mastery, devoid of any oily residue or aged oil smell. Hats off to Terry Booth and Chef Luigi for extending the invitation to our foodie community, allowing the restaurant to savor a preview of the upcoming menu and contribute to the creation of a dining experience that promises the highest satisfaction for future guests. 🥰🥰🥰

We went for the business lunch deal and it was fantastic! We started with beef sushi and ceviche (can’t remember the local dish name) both of which were incredibly tasty. The mains – chix with lime rice and beef milanese pasta – were equally delicious and came in huge portions. Our server was super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We went on a weekday, so the place was pretty empty, but I heard it gets busy on weekends, so reservations might be a good idea. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more. The food was great, the service was excellent, and we left happy and satisfied. We’re definitely planning to come back for more!

Amazing restaurant with festive vibes. We came for their business lunch and everything was perfect, the staff was attentive especially ALDANA from Argentina that made sure that we had a great experience. The quality / price is just perfect

Went today (August 2023) to this ground floor restaurant with valet parking, for Friday Brunch (1-4pm), after pre booking the day before. The ambiance was very welcoming, impressive foyer, restaurant v easy to find. Staff were immediately attentive and welcoming, took us to our table & explained how their brunch operates. With a Latin American theme, we received 3 cold starters followed by 2 hot starters, menu below; my wife found the Ceviche Classico white fish & sweet potato in tiger milk her favourite. I could not pick a favourite - the guacamole and the salmon roll being equally delicious. 3 mains were stir fry beef, shrimps in noodles and marinaded chicken thighs - the best we’ve had since living here. These came with umami fries and with spring salad - both superb. Finally, 3 deserts almost finished us off (my wife is not usually a pudding person, but she destroyed the chocolate cake almost single handed…). After all that & a 15 minute break, we managed a coffee each (decaf available). We also had several ginger fizz drinks each, although stronger beverages are also available. I understand the menu changes weekly and we will definitely be back. This review would not be complete without commenting on the excellent staff, from Rodney who welcomed us to our table & answered all our queries, to Mahesh who volunteered to fetch our car so we could remain cool.

We went to the South American brunch with some friends recently. It was pretty good. The avocado hummus and plantain chips were a great start. We were served a nice green salad and the main platter included brisket, chicken, shrimp among other things. It wasn’t very varied - but to be honest it was quite filling and none of us asked for seconds as we were quite satisfied. Personally I prefer this type of brunch. Heavy on meat and low on carbs. However - it would have been great to have more vegetables as a side rather than just fries. It’s definitely a meat lovers brunch. Our waitress Aldana Celeste was a pleasure and so attentive! A major plus. We didn’t have to wait long for service or requests.

The New Best Restaurant in Westbay Doha! The food was absolutely wonderful and delicious, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed their signature mocktail that we ordered, the Berry Delight. They also have the best Calamari and Burger in Doha. Really a must try! The servers here are just really nice and approachable.

Step into a world of culinary delight at Ika South American Restaurant, nestled within the luxurious Aleph Doha Residences. My recent visit was nothing short of extraordinary, and I can confidently say that I have found a new favourite spot for South American cuisine in Doha. Upon entering the restaurant, I was warmly welcomed by the attentive and friendly staff, and it was a pleasure to meet the two remarkable managers, Rodney and Firas. Their passion for the restaurant and its culinary offerings was immediately evident, and it set the tone for a memorable dining experience. Without a doubt, the highlight of the evening was the introduction to the captivating dish known as Ceviche. Being a first-timer, I was curious and excited to try this iconic South American delicacy. Little did I know that this dish would leave an everlasting impression on my taste buds. Served fresh and beautifully presented, the Ceviche was a harmonious symphony of flavors. The tangy citrus notes, coupled with the delicate balance of fresh seafood and vibrant herbs, created an explosion of taste that was nothing short of a culinary revelation. Each bite was a journey through the coastal regions of South America, and I found myself savoring every moment of it. Kudos to Manager Rodney for suggesting this delectable delight, which undoubtedly contributed to the magic of the evening. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable. The waitstaff demonstrated their expertise to ensuring that every need was attended to with care and precision. The ambiance of the restaurant further complemented the dining experience, with its elegant and inviting decor, transporting me to the heart of South America. In conclusion, Ika South American Restaurant in Aleph Doha Residences has earned its rightful place as a gastronomic gem in Doha. The Ceviche alone is worth the visit, and with the incredible guidance of Manager Rodney and the warm hospitality of Manager Firas, the experience becomes truly unforgettable. If you're seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure that transcends borders, I wholeheartedly recommend Ika South American Restaurant. Prepare to be enchanted by the flavors of South America and leave with cherished memories of a dining experience that is second to none. I, for one, will be returning soon to embark on another culinary journey at Ika.

We were searching for a new place to have lunch. We found this amazing restaurant around west bay! Business lunch were so delish! And they do serve buffet for breakfast as well. A lot to offer such as taco saturday, friday brunch, robata on tuesday, happy hour, etc… we will definitely come again! Not forgetting the staff they were very welcoming and friendly. This IKA South American Restaurant should get an award 🥇

Definite must-try. Great quality South American brunch with really good flavors and flawless service. Disappointed however with the desserts variety and we are asked to pay for coffee/tea, but overall it is still quite a value-for-money experience.

What a fantastic restaurant find this was. Had really incredible food for my wife's birthday and the team made it extra special by presenting her with a cake just for her free of charge which was incredibly generous. The desserts were so delicious and will certainly be back to try out some of the other menu items. Thanks for making our evening a special one!

Unfortunately didn't catch the first course due to everyone being so hangry 🤣 the food was amazing each item was prepared with its own seasong and worked well together. The side complimented the meats and were not forgotten when it came to flavour. The staff were outstanding!!!! Definitely major improvements to a year ago. They were so accommodating and made everyone was well taken care ( 7adults and 4 kids). From tender brisket to succulent prawns it was all 9/10 from me.

Lovely food and great service. Brunch was great. Portion size was perfect. Although there are very few people coming in for the brunch, it’s still great.

Amazing experience, great service from the team, waitress Eya, David the supervisor and chef Rosh for the delicious food! First time experience and will definitely be back. Keep doing what you doing, beautiful concept, design and outlet.

Enjoyed a mums and daughters night out at Ika. Service was exceptional! Valentina and her colleagues made us feel at home and our girls left feeling super pampered. Loved everything we tried from the gorgeous refreshing ceviche which tasted as wow as it looked to the flavourful bao crab and king prawns! Ended the night on a sweet note with the Chef’s Table which was a treat for all the ladies at the table young and old. Thank you Ika Doha and My dear friend for a fab night out
