About restaurants...

I have never tried any REAL Italian food in Doha (not like it should be).

I am not a big fan of expensive restaurants where there is nothing on the plate but decoration ;o)
(but I like food in Sheraton-esp. sea food buffet on Wednesday).

For Lebanese food, I'd go for Layali (i really love their moutabbal),
I have all kinds of favourite small Indian cuisine places, but I like Bukhara.
For Persian food- either Shebestan Palace or Shater Abbas.
I like that small Thai place in Al Nasr street for Thai Food (I've tried Thai-Chi in Villaggio, but it wasn't so amazing), though service was gr8.
I like some Arabic food from Bukhari (not the fast food in City Centre food court, the one near Industrial Area)-they have very very nice Saudi Kabseh!

What I miss in here is a decent Italian, French cuisine.
And I haven't seen in here any places with REAL Turkish food.
And it would be nice to have some restaurant with central-eastern European food (even without pork).

Btw, where do they make any decent pancakes in here? And don't tell me Crep Away!! ;o)

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
