Try 'mandi' at Marmara Turkish Restaurant in Al Saad. Perhaps you can request the steamed chicken to be replaced with an oven-grilled one, and asked too for a mashed tomato dip. It's as close as the saudi 'kabsa'. When I was in Saudi I have to drive all the way from Dammam to Thokba just for this. And oh, I missed samoosa too. Haven't tasted something as good as the ones sold in Saudi. :)

Hello. I've also been looking for a kabsa resto but unfortunately there is none in Doha. There are some restos that include 'kabsa' in their menu but it doesn't taste like the one in KSA. Those who ate this food in KSA know what we mean. I wonder why nobody does it here like they do in KSA. But I still keep looking. So if you stumble on one, pls share the location. I will do the same. Cheers!
