Joe's cafe — Restaurant in Doha

I had two nice experiences at Joe's cafe but not so good this evening. I went inside the restaurant and sat down but was ignored by the waiting staff. It was not busy at this point in time.

When I returned I sat outside in the hope that I would get served, I did and it wasn't too bad. The bread basket was a bit stale, fabulous cocktail (the sidecar) and the penne arrabatia was tasty and al dente. Unfortunately I tried the ice cream which claimed to be home made - but it is the same stuff that is being sold on the third floor in Gallerie Lafayette, minuscule scoops and actually not very pleasant and served on a pile of broken biscuits. The waiter and I had a disagreement in that I asked how many scoops I got for the 39 Riyals. He said three but what he did not explain very successfully was that I had to have three scoops of the same flavour. I in fact got charged 15 Riyal per scoops for three tiny scoops of very unsatisfactory ice cream that isn't home made at all. I insisted that the charge was amended and the young man was palpably very resentful and kept me waiting for a long time in the humid dining area. It's a pity because the first two experiences were nice.There are too many restaurants in Qatar so Joe's will probably learn that they cannot...

Exceptional Service from Mr. Rishaf at joe's cafe katara I recently had the pleasure of dining at joe`s , and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience largely due to the outstanding service provided by Mr.Rishaf From the moment my party and I were seated, Mr.Rishaf set the tone for a delightful evening with their warm greeting and genuine smile.
