    I’ve always wanted to visit this restaurant. Visited on a Friday night, their sheesha is great and food is tasty. Although, this place is a little expensive than others, my experience overall was great! They really need to work on their service, the waiters were rude and I was very upset with their behavior, except for one person who was managing well.

    Service was polite, prompt and sincere. Arco was friendly & gave good suggestions about soup and salad. The beet root soup was excellent and the portions in mixed grill was generous. Highly recommended!

    On arrival there were no less than 3 employees standing around doing nothing, looking at us , while we waited to be shown a table. This was an indication of how the rest of the night would go down. We had to call them for assistance. We called for service 3 times using their little device with no response. Eventualy we had to call out for service. We requested for blowers to be put on suddenly all blowers were not working. The cocktails were warm and served in a mediocre glass , certainly overpriced. Service was atrocious, I will not recommend this place. ........ Except for their shiesha which was well worth the mad price...

    The place is located in one of the best locations in Souq, the food is a average not a good taste ,the shisha is the best according to my friends , but the service is the worse , u need to wait for 20 min for them to clean the table and to get a clean glass . The staff are always somewhere else but not attending to customers needs . We asked for the table to be cleaned and they left it half clean . Hope they will work on their customer service and to provide a better experience for the future ones

    Awesome Awesome experience… very well maintained , nice , hygienic. Staff is super friendly and smile you can feel is for real. The Shisha flavors they had were amazing , staff knows customer preferences and customize the flavors accordingly. Buffet during Ramadan they serve , must visit once at-least

    I didn't expect to find a Ukrainian restaurant in the middle of the Old Souq of Doha. So I was excited and the spontaneous visit was more than worth it. The food (Golubtsi - a traditional Ukrainian dish) was delicious and the service by Kumari very friendly and attentive. A really great experience in the heart of Doha.

    One of multiple resturants within popular Souq Waqif. It offers the usual erray of dishes liked by locals and safe with tourists and those from abroad from pizzas to fatayer, grills and other local faves. Upon our visit it was late in the evening and most of the menu was not available but we did manage to get some cheese fatayer and meat fatayer (lahab biajeen) which were cooked well and flavourful, the service was well intentioned but a bit slow and confused.

    Lovely spot in Souq Waqif. Loved their outdoor seating. We had a pleasant evening, so beautiful with the sun set in the background. Their iftar buffet was pretty decent. The food spread was generic. Desserts were great! Umm-ali was too freaking good! Very responsive waiters and staff. Something to note was how spacious, big and neat their washroom was!

    Amazing restaurant and perfect service By Mr Jad, very friendly management and careful waiter. I had lunch here prices was good, meals are so big but I took the rest take away🤓 and enjoyed with my coffee.

  • 3/5 Rev A. 4 months ago on Google
    It's such a beautiful place with wonderful staff. The shisha is a little pricey compared to other restaurants but it's worth the price for the service and ambience. The food was delicious too. Will definitely be back! Update: Honestly, I've never updated a review before but I feel obliged to be truthful. I've been back to this restaurant an additional 4 times and the service has deteriorated each time I've returned. The need to chase a waiter just to get an order in, orders getting crossed and shisha being subpar. The only thing consistent would be the food which is good. So hopefully your visit is on a good service day.

    I just passed by in this restaurant, and said to give it a try and it was definitely a good decision, the staff are friendly and welcoming, the service was good thanks to Zad for giving me the best option for food and drinks and the shisha is the best thank you Karan. I’ve stayed in Qatar for a long time and I can say that I enjoyed it,it’s first time I asked to make another refill for the flavor. Ambiance is nice and cozy, the interior inside was amazing. Thank you for the lovely night. I Highly recommended the restaurant. ☺️

    The shisha was terrible, we first ordered the coca cola lemon ice shisha and it tasted like feet then we immediately changed it to blueberry and they just replaced the head with a tiny bit.of blueberry and it costs 95 QAR for each

    Its a nice place with good service but the prices are unbelievable. The quality of food and shisha doesnt worth their price tags. Nice see and experience once but Im not going there again. Ps. Dont order weird flavours for your shisha, they taste terrible

    Place where food is prepared with soul 💙 Amazing personnel, great location and unbelievable tasty food 😋 🤗 Pro tip: it’s the only place in Doha, where you can try authentic Ukrainian cuisine 🇺🇦 try borscht, Varenyky, palianyca and Kyiv cake 🍰💛

  • 4/5 Anushree L. 11 months ago on Google
    The margarita pizza was simply tooooo good :) The shisha was also nice.. the seating is perfect to chill with friends... However, the service was very bad. The person who took our order was grumpy, impatient and rude!

    Nice place for food and ambiance near tons of shops. The outside seating area has great views of the city skyline and views of the fireworks. The servers were very nice and attentive. They have a nice selection of drinks, appetizers, main dishes and desserts. It did take a good while to get the food on a busy night, so be prepared to wait a while. The food was very tasty and worth the wait I would say. The lamb was tender and flavorful. The desserts were particularly awesome. The Kyiv Cake was delish with alternating layers of meringue and butter cream. It was hearty but light and not overly sweet. They also have hookah if you are into that. Overall this is a great spot to eat and enjoy the views of the city.

    I came here for quick snack in the afternoon. I chose to sit at the outdoor seating area for better view. As the restaurant is located next to the plaza with lots of pigeon, there were bird dropping around the restaurant. I ordered the chicken strips. The portion was quite big, but taste a bit salty to me. The crews were very friendly in their service.

    Spent breakfast here last summer during one of our visits in Souq Waqif, and we had a very good experience. Ambience has a touch of elegance and food is a bit on the expensive side. We'll be back here this winter time!

    Been there twice, service was good the first time and not so good the second time. Food was okay the first time but really good the second time. It's worth eating at and the prices are alright.
