A beautiful restaurant set in the middle of the show jumping arena of The Equestrian Club. Patrons can view horses training in the arena from their tables. Its excellent for keeping younger children occupied.
The decor is a fusion of modern and traditional Arabic design and works well in the soft lighting. However, Al Assayel is not just about a calm and relaxed setting, the service is good too and above all the food is excellent.
At least one visit is a must for all horse lovers and families with young children. For those who like their food, AL Assayel can be ranked among the best Lebanese restaurants in Doha.
