Worms in food in restaurant

I came back home from work, picked up some take away in Al Sadd on the way. Well into the sofa and half way into my dinner, I spotted a worm. After finish vomiting, I went through the food and found another one. I took some photos of them. Disguisting.


And I used to eat there alot as I live close by. No need to say I wont show my face there anymore.


Check your food before you start eating in cheap restaurants!

Usually these kind of restros keep semi cooked food in fridge and the moment u order something they take it out full cook it and give it to u.Right?maybe whatever u ordered was stored for long in the fridge shelf or may be in huge quantity and when u ordered the lower layer was containing some worms and u got them.Understand?Now if u r true and if u are willing to help other families and kids too than go and make a complaint.Otherwise u will urself quote in ur own country that in Qatar they dont care about hygeine standards.Police cant keep track of every eatery but complainers like you will make a big difference and you can show a way to others too.By a single complaint of your atleast 1000 other eateries will get scared they will start maintaining hygiene for the sake of customers.Even if u are not willing to complaint than why did u made a complaint here.Is this is a Ministry of Health's website to help u out or to warn others.Or u are here to find some limelite and sympathy.Go and help others and help Government to take strict action against these kind of cheap hazardous eateries..

:( sad news. i love the food there. but why discriminate against cheap food? some of the best food i've eaten are in hole-in-the-wall & road/riverside restaurants at the cheapest prices.the first thai food i've eaten was in college in a very popular cheap joint just outside campus whose neighbours were eateries for laborers. sometimes you can see mama thai's dirty fingernails digging into the mixed rice toppings you ordered. but the food was great and since i'm still alive i guess it's ok.if i was being mean today i would think you're the f&b manager of a neigbouring restaurant who wants to put them out of business. but don't worry, i'm not doubting you. i'll take your word for itbut some thai people do eat some weird stuff. like bugs. maybe worms too

They are not worms. They are called vitamines!

As you are a F&B Manager you should have known what action to take on a matter such as this.

I know of a few QL members who go there regularly for take-aways. I can only say now that I thank God I never found it due to poor directions!

Sry for late posting.

I was not planning to tell the name of the restaurant but after reading your replys I think it's better afterall.

It's a thai restaurant between Doha clinic and c ring road. I never knew the name of the place. I noticed many european people go there, so I figured this is good when I moved here. But the cleanliness of the place could be a bit better I agree.

I won't do anything more with this. I didn't get sick but then again maybe some later small kids will be? The worms was like 1-1,5 cm long and it was in the fried vegetables.

You saved yourself by vomiting and deciding never to show your face there. Thankfully you didn't get food poisoned, but what about others who might not be lucky enough to spot those worms as you did. I think you should show your concerns to other expats by calling 44266666 (Baldiya) immediately or at least letting others know the name and location of the restaurant.Also, upload the picture that you snapped of the worms, if you could for others to identify with the kind of worms they should watch out for in foods from restaurants in Doha.

Is there any guarantee that expensive restourants will take care of these things. It totally depends on their concerned staff and management. Chief restourants can also take care of hygiene, it has nothing to do with the price.

you should definitely mention the restaurant name and location... authorities were so adamant in the press that they are fighting bad hygiene in restaurants, not sure how they missed this one.
