Layali is crap. It is overpriced shawarma food. Lebanese styled junk. Only greasy clowns go there, who pretend they are rich.

Caravan has great food, but is probably not the best place for a special occasion, just not nice enough of a setting.

You could order Caravan into your house, and make the ideal setting of your choice at home. I recommend you order the food while she is away, and then throw it all into pots and pans, and make a mess in the kitchen, and make her believe you cooked everything yourself. hahahaha.

The Marriot has an excellent Mexican restaurant called Salsa, and an excellent Japanese placed called Asia Live. Asia live has hot plate tepanyaki, where the chef puts on a show while he prepares your food. He juggles with knives and does all sorts of tricks etc... it is an excellent setting. Make sure you book in advance though, there are specific times for the tepanyaki.

Go to The Pearl... and choose any restaurant over there... That is the most calmest place in Doha... You will really enjoy your dinner at Pearl...

i've been to al bandar. it's hit and miss (had great fish there, but also terrible fish once). besides that, i want something romantic, and bandar is definitely not romantic.

thanks.

Go to Al Bandar in Souq Waqif... best seafood in Qatar. They have fresh seafood that you can pick and choose before you have it prepared in any way you want. Amazing restaurant. Good sheesha too.
