Sofra Restaurant is one of Alwadi Doha MGallery Hotel Collection's most popular restaurants and rightly so. The food, the ambience, the atmosphere, the service - all speak volumes about the popularity of this Arabesque restaurant where you'll find some of the finest Levantine cuisine in Doha.
Sofra, when translated, literally means ‘tablecloth’ in the Arabic and Persian languages. But there’s more to the word than just being a tablecloth. It's a symbol – a symbol of hospitality; one of warmth and being generous. When we think of a tablecloth, we automatically think of food and when we think of food, we think of people sharing that food.
That’s what the Sofra Restaurant is all about. That’s the kind of experience you’ll get when you dine at this luxurious restaurant where you’ll not only get to taste the delicious culinary delights that are part of the Levant heritage, you’ll also be served up with a generous amount of Qatar’s well-known hospitality.
Sofra has its own unique personality which you'll get to experience through the artistic architecture, luxurious interior and cosy ambience. This charming and elegantly sophisticated restaurant has been specially designed to encompass Qatar’s rich culture and its local traditions of pearl diving, dhow boats and travel bags within its surroundings. It's chic and yet, has that traditional feel that is so typical of the Levant region: welcoming and warm!
The food on the menu is delicately put together with careful thought to make sure that each and every dish that you try is perfect in every possible way: taste, flavour, freshness, aroma, presentation and makes you feel right at home.
Some of the dishes like the Sofra Signature Hummus Selection have been specially curated with the finest ingredients combined with some new flavours to give the different types of hummus on the platter that contemporary kick with a traditional taste. Each of the six types of hummus has its own distinct and delicious flavour that you will really like.
Sofra offers an à la carte menu for dinner so you can feast on some of the finest Levantine dishes and regional delicacies like the Grand Grilled Meat Platter that's simply out of this world. From the soft and succulent lamb chops, lamb kebabs, kofta and shish tawook and chicken to the crunchy french fries, from the grilled vegetables and the three sauces that complement everything on the platter to the muhammara bread, this is the kind of food that makes you feel happy on the outside and warm on the inside!
You'll find plenty of options on the menu that include meat, chicken, seafood, vegetables, salads, and each one is more tempting than the other and rich and delicious in taste. Some are traditional, while some have been made more contemporary by adding a little twist to them. No matter what you choose from the menu: whether it's a hot or cold mezze, starters, BBQ grill, desserts and even beverages, you'll enjoy the exotic freshness of each and every dish that you'll enjoy sharing with family and friends.
Last but not the least, let's talk about desserts. Sofra has a menu of desserts that will have you fall in love at first bite. A particular favourite of people who dine at this lovely restaurant is the Raspberry Halawet El Jibn. It's an Arabic dessert with a raspberry mousse that's smooth and rich, yet light to eat and an absolute delight for the taste buds. It's served with vanilla and lemon thyme ice cream that goes well with the dessert.
If you're looking for something special to do on a Thursday evening to start off the weekend, then you must try the grand Arabesque Night at Sofra. Every Thursday from 7 pm all the way upto 11 pm you can enjoy Sofra's authentic Arabic cuisine, unlimited mezze and special beverages at just QR 200 per person (two hours unlimited).
