Al Nahham Restaurant — Restaurant in Doha

From the moment we walked into this Arabian-inspired gem, we were met with a warmth that went far beyond great service — it felt like being welcomed into a home. The ambiance was beautifully set, reflecting rich Arabian culture, but what truly made our visit unforgettable was the people.

Al-Amin and Chavindu were outstanding — attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our experience special. As a mother of a child with special needs, I am often cautious in new environments. But the way the entire team embraced and cared for my daughter made me emotional. She was treated with dignity, joy, and kindness — something that can’t be taught, only felt.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was packed with flavour, balance, and depth — the kind of food you remember long after the meal is done. And as a Bangladeshi woman who loves her spice, I was overjoyed when the staff noticed and brought out the chef’s homemade chilli sauce. It was a firework of flavour, and to my surprise, the manager even shared the recipe with me! That gesture alone says everything about the generous spirit of this place.

Thank you to the entire team — especially the incredible manager — for going above and beyond in every way. We didn’t just leave full; we left seen, heard, and cared for.

while booking they told that the food will be buffet (1400 riyals for 7 people), when we reached Al Nahham restaurant in Banana Island, let's start first a la carte not buffet food * Hummus with meat as in the menu actually with ghee (fat) *first dish fattoush is good but the second they used old fried bread full of oil *let's move to main dish (we asked if there is a special kind of fish - not available after checking it turned out it is available but maybe they want to use old types to spend from the store) we ordered fried king fish taste bad and we left both dishes as they are and for grill 50/50. At the end they brought the bill 1430 riyals please pay 30 riyals different. Very bad experience I have never had in Qatar before, bad service no value...

The outside terrace has an incredible view over the sea. We came as a couple, it would be even better if they have smaller table for two, the regular table with four seats are quite big it lacks the convenience and coziness. The dishes were very tasty. They have an extensive display of fresh seafood at the open kitchen so you can pick and mix. Our main course was lamb chops, nicely grilled and the waiter was kind enough to let us order their special rice instead of regular steam rice to accompany the meat. If you are not a fan of rice, you can try Batata Harare (can't remember the spelling) which is diced potatoes with spices. We were a bit surprised when our main courses were served when we still didn't finish the starters, which could have...
