Fast Food , and Qatar
By christinatroni •
I have been here for almost a week now.
I have lived in Dubai , and I have lived in Bahrain.
I have realized that Qatar dislikes US , and therefore does not franchise fast food restaraunts, depsite having the money.
Bahrain , a poor nation , has all these US franchises , like New York Fries, Fat Burger , Charlies , Boston Pizza ? And the economy in Bahrain is really in the hole.
Dubai , same thing , tons of fast food restaraunts.
I do not udnerstand why Qatar doesnt venture in Fast food? why are the options limited?
Do u have hiccups
And Krispy cream is still open on al wabb strret near villagiro I was there last week.:)
lol bakamuna he has pathan friends to help him make those holes for doughnuts :)
Wow I think I am living in dream world then when I see all the same American restaurants here as back home ..... And I dine in them? Maybe I am asleep it's not real?
Strange post, give yourself more then a week to learn Qatar before you ass ume Qatar doesn't have all the best American restaurants and 2 USA bases, and over 8000 Americans here to love.
Wish there was Olive Garden restaurant though. That's not fast food. It's great food best eaten with good friends of all cultures.
bakablacksheep, howdy mate.
Lols britey, the portion was big but u had tiny palms...:(
I understand all those american restaraunts you mentioned , but those are all common in the middle east , every GCC countery has those restaurants , its the additional restaraunts that count.
KRISPY KREME , SHUT DOWN IN QATAR??? SERIOUSLY?
I tried an Upsized Rizkuburger Meal.. I'm not saying that the portions were small, but ..
speaking of rizk franchise...if we had rizkdoughnuts..how will you make the holes :)
i got burnt one american spilled karak chai on my face :(
you burned faced moneky, does 'al naimi' sounds American to you ?
is al naimi cafeteria american too ?
I just think christina is trying to stir crap in the wind here..time for this thread to be oops
yea try something cheaper like poppadums with chai ?
or samoboosas with vinegar sauce....? :)
Thanks for cracking me up...you guys are insane:)
MacDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Johnny Rockets, Benigans, Chili's, Applebee's, Ponderosa, Red Lobster, Hardees, Fudruckers, Dunkin Doughnuts, Krispy Cream, Yellow Cab, Papa John's, Stabucks, Pizza Inn, Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut (and the list goes on)--
Way too many American fast food/American chain's options in my view.
I've read Qatar has many fast food places like Pizza Hut, McD's, Chilli's, Applebee's, etc so why say there aren't any? I think better option would be skip the American fast food and try something local -- probably cheaper and better for you!
qatar does not have good vada pav ! Anti Indian Qatar
tat would be made up of a very special ingredients which if said here, i will loose the business before it starts ? :(
Britexpat, Bahrain has the 5th fleet not Qatar!! Anti-American Qatar!
rofllllllllll at Rizkdonalds...I want to know what your burgers will be made of :P
25 branches 20 branches what is ur profession to count fast food outlets ?
So, a country hosting the largest US Army base in the Middle East can only be regarded as Pro American if it opens fast food outlets :O)
Damn those Frenchies too ..
very soon u will find Rizkdonalds, Rizksbees,Rizkruckers and Rizks Lobsters opening shortly at a confined place....:)
oh by the way, those are Asian Frenchfries, i mean Franchise's...:)
Where are they ? Dairy Queen only two branches , IN bahrain and Dubai over 25 branches.
bad Qatar very bad...I will see that there are more American brands of Fast foods available immediately. Happy now?
will american pie satisfy u ?
watelse u want pls list ur american desires
is opening soon in Ezdan Mall.
Yeah Qatar is not doing this anymore , is not participating in American Brands.
I thought Tim Horton was a Canadian brand, we must be Anti-Canadian now ;)
then quickly go bahrain eat n come back
Its more about demand rather than "Like / Dislike" of a particular culture.
If they really disliked American, there wouldn't be Chili's, Applebees, Fuddruckers, Red Lobster and other famous US brands here at all.
Please be patient and sooner or later, those brand's that you are saying will sooner or later be opened here...
I'm still waiting for a Tony Roma's to be built here...
Not even tim hortons , which has 20 branches in bahrain?
I love how quickly he reached the conclusion that Qatar hates the US
visit Taxi Hotel it is very much "American"
Then eat a double MacShuttheeffup! :p
Mc.donalds is there in every corner
They have a New York Fries in Iraq, must be a very pro-American country
Taco bell? Disgusting.
I am looking for US Joins , the common joints such as mcds , hardees , etc are all common in the GCC , its the extra burger and fast food joints , american , that we are seeking.
hmmm member for 1 hour and whining already...5...4...3..2..1
cut it short r u looking for "Taco bell"
Christina, Qataris like to live healthy and keep their expats healthy too :P
You couldn't find a burger joint you saw in Dubai & Bahrain & you concluded Qatar is Anti-American from that?
STANDING OVATION!
anti american we have the U.S base here so stop crackin jokes
why not stay in dubai simple
Im not , this is where I am at the moment , but Im just asking why is Qatar anti american?
