Al Hamra

This restaurant has a range of food, from Gulf and Lebanese to European, but with a name like Al Hamra we could hardly place it anywhere else. It also perfectly suits the Arab family's preference for privacy, with many of the tables completely shielded from view. When we ate there we stuck to Arabic food: delicous Hamour Kabsa (slices of fish in fragrant yellow rice, as pictured above), grilled quail and mixed grill. The meat dishes were standard fare in Qatar, accompanied by bread, chips and red onions and with little in the way of vegetables, although the meat itself was grilled just right.
