Marmara Istanbul Restaurant

Istanbul Restaurant serves a wide array of food, including Meza (vegetarians will have no problem here), traditional Turkish dishes laid out as you enter and the standard schwarma (kebab), mixed grills and barbecued chicken. From the moment you glance at its cheerful red and white fracde, you will know this is a cheap and cheerful restaurant rather than a posh joint. But in addition to being cheap (a plate of mixed mezza with a pile of freshly cooked bread costs QR10), the food is delicious and the houmous, to our Western palates, is the best in Doha. The restaurant is one of a chain, but our favourite is the Al Sadd outlet.
