So the other day I went to eat at Landmark and saw Paul's was open, so I sat and ordered a "smoked turkey breast" sandwich for 34 QR. After waiting for what I thought to be a long time (20 min?), I was given a sandwich where I had to look inside to make sure there was anything in it! I thought Paul's was an expensive French style cafe, but inside the bread were two slices of the thinnest "pre-formed" meat you had ever seen. I didn't know they could cut meat that thin! I could actually see my fingers through it as I held it up.
Oh, also, one small piece of lettuce and a hint of mayonaise. When I closed the sandwich, you really couldn't see anything between the slices. *sigh* I am tired of always getting ripped off in Doha, I didn't even argue with them, even after they jacked the bill up another 10 QR for their "service fee".
(10 QR "Service" fee for waiting 20 minutes for a sandwich, then another 20 min waiting for them to bring me my bill? (They didn't bring it, by the way, I had to go pester the guy at the cashier for it, he wandered off to find the waiter, who didn't make a bill, so they came and asked what I had......for this I have to pay a service fee?))
They should be glad I'm not a Qatari, because I know they wouldn't have accepted it and probably raised an issue. Really, at expensive Paul's, I really expected real slice Turkey meat, not thin, preformed meat that looked like thin bologna.
So Paul's is another place I won't go anymore, I guess.
* Places I still go: Star of India, Asian Tradition, Shwarma place in the souk, Thai Massage Restaurant near Toys-R-Us, Noodle place outside Virgin records, and good old Lenotr'e, which has yet to let me down.
