We never saw the interior, just the courtyard, which we loved. The evening was perfect for eating outside, the shisha nearby smelled nice(surprised us all!) and we enjoyed the food. We ordered simple food and simple is good.We stuck to the Chinese menu, lots of veggies, rice and chicken. The service was friendly, not super fast, but we were there to relax, not to hurry away. I found it kind of surreal to be in this gulf country, surrounded by men in thobes, women in headcoverings and watching J Lo and Shakira gyrate, while Jessica simpson did her version of western gyrating in skimpy outfits made more lewd by the way they were airbrushed/censored. I don't think whoever did it realized that an airbrushed thong gives an impression of total nudity. . .In the meantime, I was respectfully wearing my long skirt and a modest sweater top. I am surprised by the things that are on tv and up for public viewing in the souk, but that is kind of OT. We really had fun at the restaurant, and my 9 year old son saw his first music videos:) The tables/decor was charming and inviting and we didn't want to leave. It was the first best time we had in Doha after some hard adjusting to the traffic and malls. Perfect first visit to the souk!
