Gordon Ramsey's Maze

I went last week with a large group of people so I was able to see and taste quite a lot of the food.
I loved it all. You have your tapas style menu on the left which would be great if you were at a smaller table I would think you would need about 3 per person or more to fill up. The servings were small - but it is tapas style.

If you want to skip tapas or do what I did and have one as an entree, then enjoy your main, with a side.

I loved it all the warm bread and gorgeous dip along with the beautiful olives with the most devine olive oil. I wouldnt allow them to take it away even when the mains came.

The crab, green apple puree and bloody mary sauce a part of the Tapas (which I had as my entree) was different and tasted fabulous. My main was the salmon with some greens on the side. Which was simply so fresh and bursting with flavour. No desert for me, though I did look great and I didnt hear any complaints.

The T-Bone from Australia did look and taste wonderful and it was one dish that you certainly didnt need a side for, as everyone was extreemly full.

To be honest I have heard a number of ifs and buts about the place, though in comparison to a number of places I have experienced since I have been here for me it is by far the best. Yes some of the portions are smaller than going to Applebees but as far as I am concerned if you waant a great dining experience of an Entree, Main, Wines, Dessert and coffees you do NOT want large portions! All the food was beautiful and and the service was up to Ramada Standard. Perfect.

Definitely give it a try.

Also the number to book is 495 3876 extension 1431 I couldnt find it anywhere.

Just came from The Maze and experienced the best customer service I've received in Doha so far. The General Manager of the restaurant should think about giving a workshop on meeting and surpassing customer expectations to members of the hospitality industry in Doha. She was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about what goes into the food and how it's prepared.
Couldn't get a reservation for dinner, but the menu looks very tempting. At first glance, the menu looks exotic and one can get easily confused, but just ask the server to break down what's what for you and soon you'll want to try all the dishes.
Our group ordered 4 different desserts and all of them were yummy! They were the perfect portion serving size and elegantly served on what looked like a black tile. The presentation was very artistic. Had the chocolate fondant, date crumble, ginger and chocolate rice pudding and macaroon, would highly recommend the first two.
Definitely a restaurant worth returning to for the food, ambiance and customer service.

I am French, and I have been yesterday with my wife (early April) to what we were expecting to be probably the best restaurant in town.
How disappointed we were !
The restaurant is far far from what can be a one star Michelin.
We left the restaurant with a 1000 QAR bill for 2 which is not that expensive for a starred restaurant, but in that case it is not worth.
What is not up to the standard:
1) we sat outside, no view on the Marina except for a very few tables, chairs are not very comfortables
2)No salt and pepper on the table ?
3) the bread was greasy and very average (and some restaurant in town have very good bread)
4) the menu is quite strange, as for your main dish, you decide by yourself what you want to put as side dish. Looking like a junk food concept, which has definetely not is place in such restaurant. In a top restaurant, the dish is prepared as a whole, so that everything in your plate are 'compatible'
5) The wrong names: we had something called 'cassoulet' as starter, let me tell you that what we got was definetely not a cassoulet !
6) French fries looking like not very natural, served with an Aioli sauce which has no garlic in it (or so less that you don't feel it)!
7) The fish of my wife was not enough cooked, so it went back to the kitchen !

In addition, the food was served so fast which gives you a bit of frustration (at least for French who enjoy to spend some time in restaurant when the food is good) and question the freshness of the cooking.

If I can only give an advise, is to forget about this restaurant for the time being, and go to the good ones in town such as The Market in W or The Central in La Cigale.
Let's hope that M. Ramsey will put a bit more effort to correct this situation and give us a real top restaurant.

My wife and I went to Maze restaurant last Friday night and I must say we were very disappointed. The quality of the service was only average, we had the shoulder of lamb for mains and it was terrible, we could not eat it and had to return it to the kitchen and the atmosphere was lacking, that said the place was approx 20% full.
I've eaten in all of Gordon's restaurants in London (including Maze) and frankly the one at the Pearl is a discredit to his name and reputation.
If you want to experience true Gordon Ramsey food - don't waste your money going to Maze at The Pearl.

I just returned from Maze with my parents and my husband, we had gone there for his birthday. I was skeptical after reading mixed reviews on Qatar Living but I was quite re- assured before I even ordered. We were greeted by warm, friendly waiter and waitresses and the manager. As soon as we sat down they brought us the menus and immediately served us bread with olive oil. We each ordered a main dish, I ordered the French corn fed chicken, my husband ordered the Australian Angus Beef Fillet and my Parents ordered the Hammour (fish). To share we ordered the Gulf Shrimps. I can say the Gulf shrimps were a little messy as we had to clean it ourselves and I don't particularly care for the shell but when my main meal arrived and I took the first bite, I could literally feel the chicken melting in my mouth, it was extremely scrumptious and appetizing. The sauce was also very delicious, a little tangy and a little sweet - the perfect blend. My husband is an avid steak fan and he could not have been happier. He was savoring every bite and stated several times during the meal that this was indeed the best steak he had ever eaten. Ditto for my parents, both thoroughly enjoyed the hammour and were raving about it. For sides, we ordered chips as well as mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were extremely creamy and delicious, perhaps my most favorite side dish eaten in a while. Last but not least, our dessert was the parfait, picked for us by our server, and we sure didn't regret asking her to choose for us, it was most gratifying. Overall, our experience was incredible, they brought my husband a little complimentary birthday cake and sang for him which was very sweet and memorable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, perhaps not everyday unless you can afford it, but once in a while it sure is worth it!

Lovely food, all in all a good lunch except for rude waitress who acted like I was either a comedian or mentally ill because I didn't want the set menu for lunch. Not really sure why they have an a la carte menu if they don't want you to have anything and also my main course cost more than a whole set menu so you would think they would welcome it. The waiting staff aside, the house staff are very nice and the food was great.

In a word.....Terrible....

Restaurant empty but we poured our own wine on one occasion.

Food unremarkable no better than anywhere else but I've tasted alot better...

They used what appeared to be FROZEN CHIPS!!Disgraceful!!

Don't waste your money folks!
