After living in Doha for almost 15 years, I have to admit, that this restaurant offers one of the worst food in town. It is a shame that Marriott even allows such place to exist at its property.
We went there for lunch. Apparently, we were the only customers at the entire restaurant(already suspicious). And it
took 2 hours to get 3 course of kind of “street food” meal.
First we ordered sushi(check the 1st photo). It can be anything but it is NOT sushi whatsoever.
Spicy tuna tartar is pita bread? Ok, but not when it tastes like blended canned tuna with mayo and cayenne pepper.
Dynamite shrimps were very deep fried so not much of any taste has left.
Fish and chips.. well.. this was the greasiest fish ever in my life. As one of not the worst cooks myself, I know that after frying anything you need to put the item on a paper towel to remove the excessive oil. Seems like the chef there has no idea about it.
Finally dessert. When you order coconut ice cream dish you usually expect to get it. Well, in our case we’ve got lemon sorbet instead. Mistake? I was not willing to ask anymore.
During the time of payment instead of 200QR I’ve got a bill of 415QR. Obviously this was just another mistake, but it took good 10-15 min for them to change the bill.
After all, both me and my gf have problems with our stomachs for the entire day.
I wish Gordon Ramsey with his Kitchen Nightmares would come to Doha to fix this place, but I am not sure if even he could be able to help it.
So, 0 stars option would be more realistic here.
