Traditional Qatari breakfast owned by a wonderful Qatari lady in Souq Waqif (first and only woman owned shop in Souq) . Large menu with a lot of simple dishes that is definitely worth trying to try out the local cuisine. The menu mainly focuses on Regag bread with different toppings (thin crepe like bread) and many egg items. I recommend trying their egg & tomato topped with cream cheese as well as their eggs topped with cream cheese, that comes with a plate of piping hot fresh bread. Also try their Regag bread with eggs or for something sweet try it with cheese and honey, very light and very delicious. You can try their Balaleet (sweet vermicelli noodles with saffron and cardamom topped with eggs). Also they have some hearty dishes like minced meat and beans with tomato. The owner is very sweet and she visited all the tables there to check on everyone's meal to make sure there is nothing wrong. She also sells homemade spices that are ready for your home cooked meals. Food: 10/10 Price: 10/10 Location: 8/10 Recommend: Eggs with tomato topped with cream cheese Regag bread with cheese and honey Balaleet Minced meat

Amazing place to go for a traditional Qatari breakfast in Doha. We went on a Friday morning at around 9am. The place was fairly busy but there was still a good choice of seats to choose from. The decor is traditional, modest and cozy and the staff were fairly attentive. There are lots of pictures around of all the different famous people that have been to the place including the Amir himself and the owner is a bit of a local legend. She even stepped out of the kitchen once the busy part of the shift was over to check that all her customers were happy. We asked for a selfie with her and she was only too happy to oblige. The food was authentic and really nice and the value for money was even better. The menu has pictures of all the different types of food on offer so it's great for non Arabs as a guide to what to order.

Hidden gem nestled in the busy streets of souq waqif , has rich tapestry of authentic Arabic cuisine. We went there for the breakfast based on a suggestion by a Qatar resident. It is little tricky to find but was able to locate by enquiring nearby shops. We ordered meat regag , chicken saj and to finish with their special Karak chai. Owner is a down to earth person and was present at the restaurant , welcoming guests and checking the tables . Food was great and meat was well cooked , lesser price and great customer service, couldn’ ask for more . Would definitely suggest . Bon Appetite !!

A popular restaurant for breakfast. I visited based on the good reviews. Ordered the Following: Egg with Tomato - there was more tomato than egg. Karak Chai was good. Positives: Plenty of seating. Clean tables. Cheap price. Negatives: The old man who served us was very unhelpful. First I asked him for plates and he didn't bring any. It was a very hot day and I asked him to open the canopy he refused even though other tables had theirs up. Luckily the other waiter Abdul Rahim moved us to another table with a canopy and was very friendly and helpful.

This place is packed with locals! Expect the service to be bad if you are waiting for them to come take your order. (The locals that dine there are way more friendlier than their waiters), Tip #1 walk up to their counter to order away. Regag (Pizza) is the specialty and Safron tea is not to be missed. Reasonably priced. Read up about the story of the owner, local Qatarian lady ( one of the earliest to start her business here in the Souq Waqif.) Dont leave without checking their photo wall. David beckham & John Terry spotted!

A good place to try some local food. Even though it’s mainly eaten for breakfast, it’s a good option for a lighter dinner. The place closed in the afternoon, opens only at 6:30pm again, but it’s not busy in the evening, although some items maybe won’t be available or sold out. I have tried the ragag pizza and it was very tasty, crispy and fresh. The service is not so great. You can pay with card or cash
