A restaurant where you can truly experience Qatari hospitality. As soon as you step inside, you’re welcomed by a beautifully designed ceiling like wave. The emerald colored carpet and the soft calming tones of the dining chairs matching the museum’s interior, instantly make you feel relaxed and at ease. So much attention has gone into every detail. Each piece of tableware is thoughtfully designed with pearl inspired decorations inside the glasses, and the bread is served in traditional Bedouin style baskets. It really feels like a perfect blend of modern and traditional Arab culture. The Arabic coffee, served with dates had the perfect balance of spices exactly my taste. The complimentary bread came in three flavors: sesame, rosemary, and one more I forgot — all delicious. The falafel paired perfectly with the creamy orange flavored yogurt sauce. The seabream was crispy on the outside and soft and flaky inside and it went so well with the gnocchi. The baklava was light and crispy, not too heavy, and matched beautifully with the Arabic coffee. I also loved that they offer set menus, such a nice option. Next time, I’d love to visit at lunchtime and enjoy the daytime atmosphere too. Located next to National Museum of Qatar so if you’re visiting, this place is definitely worth checking out!

They deserved the Michelin Bib Gourmand accolade! Beautiful delicious food - check out the photos! Loved the shrimp coconut curry, brussel sprouts (part of Mezze), lamb shoulder and butter chicken. Amazing view of Qatar - youll see the Mina district, business district and also Old Town! Service was fun and friendly. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. You’ll find it at the rooftop of NMoQ!

We had a wonderful family Iftar yesterday at Jiwan Restaurant. The restaurant is truly elegant, with a breathtaking sea view that made the evening even more special. The atmosphere was calm and refined, perfect for a meaningful family gathering during Ramadan. The service was exceptionally attentive and warm — the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout the evening. The food was of outstanding quality, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, with a great variety for Iftar. It was a memorable experience for our whole family. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special Iftar in Doha.

Wow! We have just returned to our hotel having had the most delicious meal at this stunning restaurant. From the moment we walked in until we left, everything was perfect. The staff were all exceptional, attentive, informative, respectful and friendly. The food was of the highest quality. We had the taster menu and it was exceptional and the most amazing value for money. The setting was just perfect with a stunning city view. We’ll be very surprised if this restaurant doesn’t soon have a Michelin 1* award. Thank you for a very special meal in a very special venue. Warmest regards Mark and Catherine

Hands down the best dining experience ever. Lamb shoulder was tender and juicy. Chicken kofta was soft and full of taste. Service was exceptional. The view of skyline from this restaurant is the finest view of Doha city. Cannot fault them on anything. 5 stars truly.
