David and I stopped in at the newly opened Wafi Gourmet in Landmark last week. The open market atmosphere was buzzing with a "come hither" attitude that I just couldn't pass up. Coffees, pastries, meats, fish, appetizers, everything right there on display for your ogling eyes. They
definitely had my attention so we decided to stay and try it out first hand. Without a doubt, it was the best
fatoush I've had in Doha. We kept it simple and just ordered grilled chicken for our entree...had to leave room for
dessert! Apparently, there is a small portion not listed
on the menu that was offered to us, but we opted for the regular since we were already sharing. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked and way more than our appetites could handle. Thinking back, the small order would probably have done the trick. We rounded out our meal with cappuccinos and a tiramisu. At the risk of being sued*,
I have to say that the
tiramisu was dry, practically tasteless and about the size of a fun size candy bar, but maybe our fault? Perhaps we should have gone for the
baklava. After all, Wafi
is a Lebanese restaurant, duh (
not to be confused with LRD on The Pearl).
P.S. For some reason I was camera shy and only pulled out my mobile for pics. What's up with that? Weak moment, I guess. Anyway, as you can tell the food pics were "after" thoughts. That's how much chicken was left after we both had our fill.
Mini Review:Will definitely go back. Nice atmosphere, good service, reasonable prices~higher than Turkey Central, cheaper than hotels. No iced tea, bring your own sweet-n-low (you know, to counteract the dessert!)*Kuwait blogger sued over bad restaurant review

Our five year adventure in Doha, Qatar ended June 1, 2012, but the memories will always remain. It's back to Texas where I have decided...Qatar isn't cornering the market on "quirky", as I once believed. Thanks for opening my eyes to the world, Doha!
becoming unbearable, but on the upside it's almost drowning out someone's howling kid down the block. The good news, I think, is that I see that the bikes from the Riviera plumbing brigade are on the job. Heaven help us.
Today's Qatar International Rally 2011 races were a lot easier to find. One just had to look for the dust devils flying all around both sides of the road between Messaieed and Al Wakrah.
You just can't go wrong including a camel pic
Some weren't as worried about winning as hamming for the cam 
Trust me, there was a lot of desert to be covered in this undertaking. We could have saved a lot of venturing, if we had only known to begin with to turn at "two tire road".
Some didn't leave the same way they got there
and this Jeep was hands down the winner in the looks category ;P 
Special thanks to "the navigator" who got me out of
