Bayt Sharq

Name: Bayt Sharq
Address: Al Corniche, Doha, QA
Telephone: +974 7770 4589
Price range: $$$

Bayt Sharq has been cooking since 1925, making it one of the oldest kitchens still turning out home-style Qatari food in Doha, housed in a restored Al Khulaifi family home complete with its own small museum and a choice of dining room, veranda, garden, or private cabin. It holds a Michelin Guide Selected listing — notable, since this is a straightforwardly traditional local restaurant, not a chef-driven concept — with dishes like mutabbel, majboos, and saffron mahalabia on the menu. Doors open early too, 7am to 11pm, so it works for a proper Qatari breakfast as well as dinner.
