Where once it may have been harder to find gluten-free foods in Qatar, that’s not the case anymore. With a lot of Doha restaurants now catering to people with gluten intolerance, things are changing and in many places around the country, you can find gluten-free items on the menu or request the restaurant to make some dietary-based changes to your order to ensure you don’t miss out on some delicious food just because you are gluten intolerant (adverse reactions to gluten which is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye).
Here, I’ve rounded up a list of restaurants around Qatar that cater to people with gluten-free food requirements.
