Turkey Central serves delicious grills delicacies. I have tried amost everything - lamb chops, kebabs, grilled chicken & shawarma. All preparations are authentic and one of the bests in the city. Prices are not that expensive too.
This is a Turkish family-restaurant and they offer the best kebabs in town. You might have to wait for a table because this one is always full, so make sure you go well before the time. The menu includes everything from pies to grills & the quantities are enough to satisfy 2 people.

"Jiwan" means "perfect pearl" and is the mysterious key to open the door to Qatar's food city🔑~
🤩Excellent viewing position, avoid crowds, super photo~
Located in the bustling center of Doha, on the top floor of the magnificent Qatar National Museum, the architectural design of the Qatar National Museum is known as the "Desert Rose"🌹. On the terrace of Jiwan Restaurant, you can overlook the blue Doha Port sea view from the tip of this rose🌊~
💓Elegant and romantic dining environment~
🥰Double happiness of taste buds and vision 🥰
The environment here is elegant and light, with unique Arabic line beauty, chic and romantic. Here, with family and friends, accompanied by the orange-flavored sunset🌅, a mouthful of colorful and full Qatari flavors! It combines the styles of the Mediterranean, Asia and the Middle East, and it is super satisfying for the taste buds and the body and mind! 🤩🥳🥹
Chickpea hummus is made with whole chickpeas, which has a richer taste. Dried fruits also enrich the flavor layer, making chickpeas no longer just a sauce for eating with bread, but an appetizer, which is delicious.

#Qatar #Doha I have been to neighboring Dubai more than ten times, but I have never had the chance to come to Qatar. This time I came here from Dubai. My friend said that this place is very similar to Dubai. I think it is more suitable for travel than Dubai. It is not so commercialized. The old city has retained the original lifestyle, and the shops are not mainly for tourists. I went to Pearl Island, which is similar to Palm Island. It is mainly real estate hotels. The subway is very new and advanced. There are not many people in the shopping mall. The prices of restaurants are similar to those in first-tier cities in China. I had a few local meals in Soup Waqif. My favorite is lamb rice and freshly squeezed juice. I stayed here for three days and felt good.
