Due to popular demand from our Qatari and Kuwaiti forumers, we have decided to create a Qatari Food thread. You can write about almost anything that relates to food and restaurants. You can paste some of your favorite recipies and we might even sample your food ;)

Let's get this thing going again... What are your favorite local and non-local dishes?

My favorite local dish: 5aroof weeya 3esh a9far with iwdam and plenty of leban afterwards
My favorite non-local dish: hmmm. i'll think about it later!

give me double chicken burger with upsize diet coke any time, and i'll be happy as a clamp!!
oh yeah, not to foget some nice hot & cold lebanese mezzah, with a nice peice strawberry cheesecake afterwards.

Marog, bon appeite!

meerrrrsooo :cheers:

I gotta go get me some Doner Kebab, cause that's the closest that I can get to our food

man i want local food.

^^ Dude I get calls from my friends almost everyday saying that they are going to eat Harees in Souq Wagif. At least u have Agwar Road where u can find a very good shawarma and don't forget fakhr eldeen. I agree that it's nothing comparing to Harees and Machboos, but I guess that arabs are used to London.
I myself am used to the food in here. I had a lot of problems in the beginning, but now I am ok I guess.

I love Turkish food and it's almost like our food. So, I thought it would be nice if I post some pix of some famous dishes that most of you know
There you go:
