[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **≈ QAR 170 / person** Time to allow **Allow 60–90 minutes** Place **Southern Corniche / Orient Pearl** 01 / The experience ### SMAT, Orient Pearl $$ Estimated food per person Qatari and Gulf Braq hummus shows the approach at SMAT: chickpeas flavoured with grape leaves, served with lamb chops and prunes. Familiar ingredients become a fuller, more elaborate dish, giving you something to explore beyond the usual mezze order. Mzatara Samboussa offers a crisp beginning to the meal, while lamb main courses make sense for a more substantial lunch or dinner. Regional teas, coffee and mocktails continue the range into the drinks. The kitchen draws on Qatari and Gulf cooking, with its own combinations running through the menu. The dining room makes an occasion of it. Blue seating, geometric lights and decorative ceiling work surround the tables at Orient Pearl near the southern Corniche. It is somewhere to spend an evening over dinner, or to continue a National Museum day with lunch. The restaurant is a separate stop from the museum, so leave time for the road journey between them. ![Lamb main with spiced sauce and crisp onions at SMAT]() Restaurants **SMAT, Orient Pearl** Doha and Lusail SMAT sign and arched entrance at Orient Pearl in Doha Lamb main with spiced sauce and crisp onions at SMAT Navy seating and geometric lanterns in SMAT’s dining room 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit #### Food budget & menu ≈ QAR 170 per person for food.
