Samosas or the Saasna salad can come first, and date ice cream offers a distinctly local finish.\n\nThe restaurant’s cooking is connected to Sheikha Ahmed Al Meer and her book The Art of Qatari Cooking. Dishes such as madrouba and margoog bring more of that home-style repertoire into the menu. It is an inviting place to explore Qatari food over a substantial lunch, with enough variety for a table choosing several dishes together.\n\nBarahat Msheireb supplies the setting. The arcade and square put Saasna among the neighbourhood’s contemporary streets, with the heritage houses and Souq Waqif nearby. An outdoor table can make lunch part of a longer afternoon in the district when the weather suits. From a Msheireb hotel, dinner here can also be a simple evening close to your base.",
