Restaurants with Majlis Experience in Doha

One of the greatest ways to experience a traditional meal in Qatar is to go to a restaurant that offers the 'majlis' dining experience.

In Qatari culture, a "majlis" or "place of sitting" is a place of meeting. The setting is low to the ground with cushions, which makes it distinctive.

While prevalent in Qatari culture, this is a feature of regional cultures as a whole. Many restaurants in Qatar offer this cozy seating and serve regional food as a result of being inspired by this.
