Al Terrace Doha — Restaurant in Doha

A whole bunch of people have been travelling to Georgia recently, and they have been raving about their delicious food. So, when I heard of a new restaurant serving Georgian cuisine, I had to try it out. We even had a friend at the table who had visited Georgia, who guided us through the dishes. Let’s start with the ambience first. The roof was quite rustic, with multi-colored pendant lightings which gave an authentic look. And the restaurant chill vibe was complimenting the souk wakif theme. The seating arrangement was very comfortable with nice spongy arm rests. Usually when the seats are so laid back, one needs to crouch in front to eat food, which makes it an ordeal. However, this place was different, though the seats were laid back, we were able to eat comfortably. Once at the table, we were greeted by our server Gavin, a gentleman from Goa. He gave us his recommendations in the menu. We had a look ourselves and placed the order. Khachapuri (Georgian style Pizza) - For starters, we ordered the famous Khachapuri. We asked for two kinds Megruli & Imeruli. The Megruli was delicious with the Silguni and mozzarella cheese which made it nice and stringy. The Imeruli was good because the exterior was crispier almost like an Indian Paratha, and crispy with cheese is always a good combination. Beef Khinkali (Dumplings) - We then had Beef Khinkali (dumplings). It was oozing with the sauce, which made it nice and juicy. I wish there was a sauce to accompany, would have been divine. Qababi Lamb (Kofta Roll) – I did not find this that good. To be honest, it tasted quite bland even with the sauce served. I would not recommend it. Kharcho Stew (Beef Stew) & Gomi (Cornmeal Porridge) – The beef stew was delicious. The beef cubes were very tender and succulent. An absolute flavor bomb in the mouth. The Gomi tasted quite bland on its own, but with the stew it was an excellent combination. Skhmeruli (Half Chicken with Garlic, fresh cream & butter) – This dish is heavenly, and perfect for one with a big appetite. The crispy chicken skin, tender chicken meat, saltiness of the butter, richness of the cream along with the mellow pungent flavor and nuttiness of garlic; How can you go wrong? Just thinking about it, gets my mouth watering. Mtsvadi Mixed Grill – While ordering this dish, we were told that we would get 5 pieces of each meat, but when we received the plate it was maybe 2-3 pieces of each item, which was a disappointment. Even the meat was quite tough, and difficult to chew. I wouldn’t recommend it. So guys please try this place, and definitely order my...

I came to the restaurant twice, for lunch and dinner. It was a great experience to try some Georgian Cuisine. My lunch was a simple one with a few appetizers. I had the Trio and Lobio. These are pate types of appetizers. It seems pomegranates are a popular garnish and topping in Georgian cuisine. Their eggplant pate was the best among all. That was part of the trio. The lovely waitress who served me lunch named Chris, recommended a lemon mint drink. It was nice and refreshing for a hot day in Doha. I sat inside the restaurant at lunchtime.

The next day I went back for dinner to try their dinner after seeing some good reviews. I chose outside seating, the comfy couch-like seating. Gavin, the waiter, was attentive and did a good job taking my order and making my stay comfortable because outside seating can be hot, but with the big fan and mist running beside my table, I was satisfied. Again, I ordered lemon mint to refresh. My entree was exceptional! I had Shila Plavi, lamb chops with rice on a hot stone pot. It wasn’t disappointing at all. The dish was so delicious. The rice was a risotto type of rice, so it was moist and sticky. There’re two lamb chops plus some lamb meat mixed in the rice. I hardly eat lamb, but this dish could change how I feel about lamb chops.

The Manager, Mohamed, came by to ensure everything was up to my standard. It was an I was happy to have eaten some delicious meals during my stay in...

the price is on par with 5 stars restaurants, the staff in general was good but the waiter "Ali" was exceptionally rude. his face expressions and how he ignores you after he sees you does look like he have some personal grudge with you or maybe he was not paid or something. he is actually my entire reason why my experience was ruined and why i am writing this review. the tea was late around 30 mins that i had to cancel the order. the biryani was good but not worth half the price. the rest of the food was meh. but a very overpriced meh. the other aspect of the price is the atmosphere.. the place looks good and the outside seats are comfortable.. but that about it .. the cooking smell is everywhere ( especially onions) it feels that i am with them inside the kitchen. the weather was cold and all the three heaters was broken. so much for...
