For anyone new to Qatar, Karak is a popular drink that can be consumed any time of the day. It has Indian and Pakistani origins, also known as 'Kadak Chai' which translates to strong tea. The most popular way to order Karak is to stop your car at a cafeteria, honk, and wait for a carhop.
The ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) team has put together 6 Karak spots to hit up when you feel like you need to get a fix.
