The culinary focus in Doha is very much on international cuisine, with European, Far Eastern, Indian and Lebanese restaurants providing the mainstay of the city’s offering. Note that restaurants in Doha are dry, apart from those located in the city’s five-star hotels.
If you’re in search of a convenient snack then Doha’s malls are also a worth a visit, particularly if you’re looking for international fast-food and restaurant chains including TGI Fridays, McDonalds, Pizza Express and the like.
