With the ising costs of Doha Golf Club membership I have a dream, some may say a vision - that vision is Crazy Golf! (also known as miniature golf)  I think families would like to have a round of crazy golf and it would not cost much to build or run, unless you opted for an indoor air conditioned option.  Pretty sure the demand will grow.   2nd choice would be to re-launch the idea of drive in movies, think this would be nice in Qatar.

Have to say I'm surprised by Novita77 s comments re Sandwich Cellar. I'm in there most weeks and food still great, especially the fish n chips. And don't get me started on the dumplings..

Can't think of many places in Doha now that give this type of food at their prices

What about floating restaurant (or restaurant in the middle of the sea where you can see one by one drowning) 

 

Why restarurant? because all people are investing on foods.. i guess we are spender when it comes to food.. and the left over at night can be a new viad a day after.. no lost

 

Why floating? for a change.. its already monotonous eating with the same ambiance.. as you will see only wall, flower vase, road, cars and people passing by...

 

and isnt that romantic eating in the middle (of seems) no where, where you can see in daytime the blue sky and blue ocean, while at night only the stars and the candle light with the bossa nova sound and a  bukhari or shawarma on plate

 

 

 

 

Life's like that but still can't give it up

ok seriously there are just too many resturants on LAND here in Qatar. if you friend has the moolah and if he's going to hire me to sit on my ass all day and give me a big monthly salary then i must copyright my suggestion now only. Tell him to open a floating "Dinner and a Movie". That means a place where u can take the family out for a dinner and watch a movie on a boat/ship whatever. Of course i must be captain of the ship or i'll sue u ;)

we went to sandwich cellar 2 weeks ago with my DH and my brother in law. My brother in law craved for steak and kidney pie. We found the quality of the food going down the hill alot. The pie seems like few days old and been microwaved ... and we have to sent the gravy back because its cold.

 

the used to warm up the bread but they just gave it cold.

 

the owner no where to be seen ... only left to the waitress that couldnt seems bother to do anything.  

 

was thinking about asking the place to cater our next party, but i guess we will give it a miss.

...what it is supposed to mean? Hooters?

Doesn't Hooters mean 'hooters hooters'? There is a hooters restaurant in Doha? And i didnt know about for goddamn two years (today, March 15th, in 43 minutes, i celebrate my second year in Doha).

Please tell me it isnt true. Please tell me i didnt miss hooters for two whole years. Those who say 'boys will be boys', would you kindly go hoot a hooter?

a GOOD gym...most around here have minimal equipment, unknowledgeable staff..and almost no classes unless you want to drive all over town to find the ones you want. Gold's is as close as you can get to what I mean...but even that isn't it...Be glad to show you sometime...I was on the verge of opening up one back home, but then we got the job over here. if done right, gyms are a money making business especially with the right location and attributes.

Food frenchise is another good idea. I was actually thinking of Tim Hortons.

Scarlet, the thing is that every hotel in that area has a gym and if not then

ever compound does, there's nothing else in that area lol. But then there is

the gym for women at the beginning of Salwa road, which isn't that far from

Ritz area. I will suggest him about the gym too.

 

What else?

just would be very nice to have a gym that is only a gym..no hotel associated with it...and not sure about the one you are talking about...haven't heard anything...

lol scarlet you have sheraton gym over there, which is quite cheap from what

i heard. Plus wernt they suppose to build a gym in that area. If not then it 

would be a good suggestion.

and i don't mean one that is connected to a hotel. one that is alone but fully and WELL laid out with exercise equipment and classes...and a lap pool. The side of town by the Ritz is sorely in need of one.
