al shurfa arabic lounge

can't believe i didn't know about this place for so long. the service is great, and theshishais pretty good too. they have both outdoor (love the view) and indoor seating. only thing is they are open only till midnight. but during ramadan they are open till 2.00am. will definitely come back and totally recommend it!

my new favouriteshishaspot in souq waqif for sure. i had the blue mixshishaand it was great👍. the seats are very comfortable and the service was very attentive.

we went here with colleagues to grab someshishaand dinner however when we reach the place their almost closing to we need to rush and give the order since we have only 1 hour. although it was a short time but the place is great with the view of corniche and staff are nice as well. will definitely come back.

one of the gems of souq waqif. absolutely love the ambience & the food. this lounge is on the 2nd floor of al jomrok hotel.

had their business lunch - qar 49 (without drinks) set menu - starter, main course & dessert

food was very delicious! taste type - local cuisine, lebanese, cafe, mediterranean, middle eastern, arabic

it was one of the saturday, me and my wife were looking for some place for hangout andshishaand it was one of the gem of it. we happened to be there in souq and we found out this place. man this place is a killer with its location, staff, choice of shisha, food and behaviour of staff specially mukul ( tell you he is been in doha for few weeks) and ehab. to the perfection. very attentive service, courteous staff and for us its the best place to hangout.

visited with a couple of friends over the weekend. we first orderedshishaand drinks, thinking that we’d order dinner after a while but we changed our mind and decided to leave because of how bad the service was! the only reason i gave a 2.5 rating is because theshishawas good; would’ve been lower otherwise.

the location and the view of / from this place are very nice. it's located right above gymkhana, so in a way it's in the heart of the souq. the outdoor seating allows for gulf views across the corniche. said that, the outdoor seating is cramped with very little space to walk. we ordered the assorted hot & cold mezze platter and jawaneh djej (chicken wings) for starters. the platter is unimpressive with bite size portions which is served with excessive pita bread to ensure you feel full. the main course was a mix grill and a pasta. although the taste and the presentation of the mix grill was above average, the portioning was disappointing.

we ordered a shisha, the flavour for which you choose from an impressively presented and equally ample range of flavours. theshishaalso comes with ice in the tray which allows for a refreshing change from your regular shisha; but it is definitely not cheap. adding on a couple of mocktails, a soft drink and a cup of tea, we ended up paying 400 qar for 4 (after we got a 15% discount), which is definitely much higher than your standard souq cafes. basically a tourist trap with good views.

if you want to enjoy smoking hookah outside with a corniche view, then this is the place. i tried their umm ali and i enjoyed it. i will be back again with myshishafriends.

highlights: ambience; mixed grill

we ordered:
- mixed grill (lamb kofta, shish kebab, shish taouk, lamb chops, grilled vegetables, wedges with garlic sauce). juicy lamb chops and kebabs. i was honestly quite surprised by the juicy kebabs and chops.
- hummus. very light; generously garnished with olive oil;
- fries. a cross between fries and wedges.
- moroccan tea.
- sparkling water & lemon.

ambience: when the weather is good, you must sit outside unlessshishasmoke bothers you; it’s so nice to watch people pass by and observe families with their children; october nights aren’t too humid or warm.

service: friendly and attentive.

cost: qr 158 for 2.

verdict: would i go again? for the relaxing ambience when the weather is good, yes.

this restaurant is great! the atmosphere is super cozy and theshishais phenomenal. ask for ayman forshishaservice. he is very attentive and pleasant!! always a pleasure!

i visited al shufra with my sisters and service was amazing. we had food as well which was pretty cool and tasty. prices are acceptable and they have a lot of variance ofshishaflavors. i am staying in doha for 3 years but i never try ummali tasty that they have. we had a meat wraps and they way of presentation is very nice. i would like to say thank you to chef askat, sher,niayaz and bektur. we had an amazing time.

i have found this restaurant on tripadvisor, and i am not sorry. great location in the city centre, very friendly staff (sher) and i loved the food. we orderd hot and cold apertizers and it was true arabic food. not to forget very coolshisha:)

theirshishahas deteriorated badly. it used to be a great spot to hang out with and great view, but if you're ashishafan, this place may not be your best spot in town. they use their shishas for all flavors, not separate shishas for different flavors. so, when you order yourshishawith, say grape flavor, it comes with tasting like everything; a fruit-salad shisha!

al shurfa arabic lounge has the best turkish coffee! as well as amazingshishaflavors. highly recommend "blue mix" which is a blue berryshishaflavor. amazing outdoor seating with a wonderful view on doha's corniche. perfect staff and treatments. top hookah lounge in doha

a great place to spend the evening. it provides a really cosy ambiance perfect to unravel a stressful day.
the food was really good, we ordered pasta, shish touq, chicken wings and a cocktail and there was nothing i could complain on.
the staff was great as well and as for theshishai recommend blue mix one of the best shishas i have tried so far.
a must visit place💪🏽
