My favourite is: Estiqlal for chicken sell. Honestly, couldn't they find even one person who spoke English to tell them that name doesn't make any sense?

There is a shop in Wakrah called 'Vice City'. It doesn't sell what I was hoping it would sell.

Here is one I spotted in Birmingham today...

Hilarious.

I saw one place named " Doha International Center for Special Needs" .

It sounds like a service provider for bachelors in Qatar . If anyone knows what kind of special needs they provide , please inform me :)

I always found the idea of the 'hot bread bakery' to be intriguing, as though until recently bread was baked using the primitive 'cold-baked' method.

check out automatic restaurant!

makes you wonder how to order and eat food!

OK, it's not a store name but I just adore the menu at Thai Snack that offers "chicken anus." And I think they are being literal! BTW, it's my favorite restaurant in Doha.

Mandi

LOOL Herne ,,,i will never take a risk

"Drink Beer Save Water"

i always wonder whether Family Food Centre deserves this name?? coz apparently it is a full fledge hypermarket (supermarket and a departmental store) and not just a food joint..

I always see on the way to Villaggio (don't exactly know where it is) Vella for Rent.

And there is a doctor called May Risk. Would you go to her/him? :D

It's true that had working hadn't killed anyone yet, but why to take risk?

LANDCRUISER FOR SERVICE

Trust me its not a car rental but a real estate agency

I saw one in Dubai called 'Al Boom Gas company'

tobacconist is REALLY a word...just googled it now.

Sorry, first time I saw/encountered the word :-)

what's up with the "tires"? That's the way we spell it in America...I find it funny to see the word "tyres"

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Azilana - What's wrong with Tobacconist?

Saw that sign in DASMAN last night...lol

Carrefour is selling fake FCUK goods? hahahaha!

FCUK in careefour

When I was in Saudi we used to pass a sign for car wash advertising "Car Laundry"

Haha! 'As you like it' eatery going to Lusail.

I've lost count of shops with "Family" in the title.

GOOD MORNING grocery in Bin Omran

GOOD EVENING grocery in New Salata

hmmm...... still looking for the GOOD AFTERNOON grocery :D)

(but then people here dont use much that greeting)

Dont forget "BRAKE DOWN SERVICE CENTER"

I saw one 'Girls Trading' yet another was 'Horse Trading'. I wonder what goes on in there!

is a store called 'Modern Fried Grocery'. What's with the 'fried' word? I don't get it.

a furniture shop called MADRED. :D

and in Star Burger they have a drink called Computer.

It's true that had working hadn't killed anyone yet, but why to take risk?

I think it's gone now, or maybe they changed their sign...a store that offered "spear parts"

why do they not even bothering correcting their billboards?!?!

oh, i forgot .....i'm in doha...bizzarro world.....

"The grass is always greener...over the Septic Tank"

"DIPLOMOTIC"....it's a carwash shop in salwa road...

"The grass is always greener...over the Septic Tank"

"CHEEP and BEST" a stinkin' crappy store with a misspelled name...

"The grass is always greener...over the Septic Tank"

@notfromhere we saw this sign yesterday "Al Isteqlal for Chicken Sell"...really funny :-)

'puntury' and 'puncherry' names of tire repair shops

Near My Accommodation,, A Shop Named As "Cost Cutter Supermarket" Every item is expensive than other supermarkets.......good luck for their supermarkets

"Drink Beer Save Water"

LoL jEwel!!!!!!!

while browsing through one restaurants in doha i found this strange chinese dish "Chicken Manjuri". later it was clarified by my husband as "Chicken Manchurian".LOL love this thread..

Coming home through Souks area, waiting at one signal, in my left side was "The Last Chance" textile shop...oops! now u tell me: who dares to enter?!;-)

Automatic Restaurant gets me.....is it?....Automatic?

Funny thread,, the list can go on and on.. mostly, it happens when they translate names from arabic to english

Movable Bakery..

Shake Grocery..

there is a store called "Taliban store" I guess you can stock up on your terrorist supplies there.

im really enjoying this thread as i cant stop laughing. lol

LMAO!!! wonderful moustache..

As you like cafe..

"ala keefich"

LOL

Trying to recall the barber shop in Wakra. Something like "Wonderful Moustache"

Did you Google it first?

Do you think the time will ever come when all the 'saloon' signs will be corrected to read 'salon'?

Toy shop called "New Skin"

"Al Isteqlal for Chicken Sell"

I saw a children's hair cut place called "Child's Saloon"!

Not only is the 'Testy Cafe' a spelling error in English (at least I hope it's a spelling error and not a reflection of either the manager's mood, or menue inclusions) but in Arabic the name is mispelled as well.

I'm a fan of shops that sell 'tires'.

I like any shop that has the word 'dream' in front of it.

I'm yet to see too many young boys at the 'Twinky cafe'.

And when I have a child I will definetely shop at 'magic happy baby' in Markhikya.

How about "Moon Shine" centre and "why not" cafeteria..

"Khadamath al kanath" ??? lmao

I saw an eatery called "Halalabad Restaurant", except the third "a" had fallen off.

There is also a catering company called "Badkook"

in al khor most water tankers have PORTABLE WATER written on the sides and a _________ RESTARANT in bin omran in front of Ahli Hospital hehehehe

=Dura Lex Sed Lex=

Bruce Lee Restaurant, Golden finger tips saloon, Lipton Tailors I can go on n on ....

Think my favourite was the food shop near the Landmark Mall with the sign proudly displaying the name of "Testys"

HHhhmmmmnn, gotta eat what they are cooking there. Sadly now been renamed.

Also, not a shop name, but love the writing on the side of a truck with "Raw Sewerage" emblazoned on the side and "Do Not Drink" just underneath. Damn, and I was hoping to have a quick half pint of raw sewerage too.

I have one beside my house called "New Happy Baby"... you would think they sell baby stuff right? Nope, they sell clothes, random junk and a few kids bicycles.

Most of the Shops are Trading And Contracting.

They dont even write what they deal in....just Trading and Contracting.

one I ever saw was a "Punctuary" aka a tyre workshop

what happened to your museum of Islamic art thread, i can't find it?

Nobody will buy anything anymore then.

Anything with the word 'Modern' infront of it.....so if its not modern its ancient??
