Taste of QatarShay Al Shomous
Shay Al Shomous is an authentic Qatari breakfast spot tucked into Souq Waqif, built by owner Shams Al Qassabi, who became the first woman to trade there and the first Qatari to launch her own food products line. She's also authored a cookbook compiling her family's recipes, so the food here comes from someone with real authority on Qatari home cooking rather than a menu written by committee.
