Ard Canaan Restaurant — Restaurant in Doha

Today, I visited the Ard Canaan Restaurant for the first time, bringing guests from outside Qatar to dine at a Palestinian restaurant. I chose this restaurant, and I have the following observations: (Note: The bill was 4,065 riyals.) Three tables were reserved as agreed upon, but unfortunately, the room was unair-conditioned and the temperature was high. When we asked the room manager to increase the air conditioning, he told us that the air conditioning is centrally controlled by Katara management and that they have no authority over it! The service in the room was extremely poor. I had to stand around searching for a waiter several times to order anything, even though the room was almost empty and there were only 2-3 other customers. The amount of bread served with the order was very limited. Water was served in large containers with plastic cups, not glass. Orders were not distributed as agreed upon between the women's and men's tables, which led to confusion and poor distribution of food between the tables. The fact that the three tables were separated—one for men, one for children, and one for men—was exploited. Two dishes we hadn't ordered were served to the women's table, and the number of potato dishes was increased from two to five without consulting us. After ordering coffee and desserts after the main course, the coffee was served without desserts, and the desserts arrived late after we had finished them. Tea was served as a courtesy, and we were surprised to find it on the bill.

We had reserved three tables as agreed upon, but unfortunately, the hall was not air-conditioned, and the temperature was high. When we requested the hall manager to increase the air conditioning, he told us that the control is centralized by the Katara management, and they have no authority over it!

The service in the hall was extremely poor. I had to get up multiple times to find a waiter to ask for something, even though the hall was almost empty with only 2-3 other customers besides us.

The quantity of bread provided with the order was very limited.

Water was served in large bottles with plastic cups, not glass.

The orders were not distributed as agreed upon between the men’s and women’s tables, which led to confusion and poor distribution of the food.

Since the three tables were separated (one for men, one for children, and one for women), two dishes we did not order were brought to the women’s table, and the number of potato dishes was increased from 2 to 5 without consulting us.

After ordering coffee and desserts following the main meal, the coffee was served without the desserts, and the desserts arrived late after we had finished the coffee.

Tea was offered as a courtesy, and we were surprised to find it included...

Ard Canaan offers an exquisite Arabic luxury ambiance that is both authentic and warmly inviting. The interior design is truly remarkable, with meticulous attention to detail—even the washroom exudes opulence, featuring a gilded sink and vintage-style lamp, transporting guests to the serene atmosphere of an Arabian Mansion. The staff demonstrated exceptional attentiveness and hospitality throughout our entire visit. We were graciously served complimentary tea presented in the traditional Arabic manner, accompanied by a graceful pouring ritual that elevated the experience. The bread was impeccably fresh, soft, and flavorful, generously replenished without our prompting. Every aspect of our visit made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.

The restaurant’s prime location directly to the right of the Katara Amphitheatre (Katara Cultural Village), with views overlooking the Doha Sea, further enhances the luxurious experience and makes it easy to find. Our visit was thoroughly delightful, and we wholeheartedly recommend Ard Canaan to anyone seeking exemplary service and an immersive cultural dining journey. Truly worth...

اليوم قمت بزيارة مطعم ارض كنعان ولأول مرة مصطحبا ضيوف من خارج قطر لتناول الطعام في مطعم فلسطيني ووقع الاختيار على هذا المطعم، ولدي مجموعة من الملاحظات التالية : (علما ان الفاتورة كانت ٤٠٦٥ ريال ) ١. تم حجز ٣ طاولات كما كان متفقا عليه ، ولكن للأسف الصالة كانت غير مكيفة ودرجة الحرارة مرتفعة وعند الطلب من مدير الصالة زيادة التكييف قال لنا ان التحكم في التكييف هو مركزي من قبل إدارة كتارا وليس لديهم اي سلطة على ذلك ! ٢. الخدمة في الصالة سيئة للغاية حيث اضطررت للقيام اكثر من مرة للبحث عن اي نادل لطلب اي شيء علما ان الصالة كانت شبه فارغة ولم يتواجد سوى ٢-٣ زبائن غيرنا ٣. كمية الخبز المقدمة مع الطلب محدودة جدا ٤. تم تقديم الماء بعلب كبيرة مع كاسات بلاستيكية وغير زجاجية ٥. لم يتم توزيع الطلبات كما كان متفقا عليها بين طاولات النساء والرجال مما أدى إلى لبس وسوء توزيع الطعام بين الطاولات ٦. تم استغلال ان الثلاث طاولات كانت مفصولة عن بعضها واحدة للرجال وواحدة للأطفال وواحدة للرجال ، تم تقديم طبقين لم نطلبهم لطاولة النساء وزيادة عدد أطباق البطاطا من ٢ إلى ٥ دون الرجوع الينا ٧. بعد طلب القهوة والحلويات بعد الوجبة الرئيسية تم تقديم القهوة بدون الحلويات وجاءت الحلويات متاخرة بعد انتهائنا منها ٨. تم تقديم شاي كضيافة وتفاجئنا بوجودها على الفاتورة
