Zomato Meet Up and Iftar at Marriott Marquis
A serene, plush and regal setting. Warm cheerful staff and a wonderful company of foodies accompanied with good food would sum up the zomato meet up and iftar at the Marriot Marquis.
The Ramadan tent was set in Wanassa restaurant at the Marquis.
The food counters were placed outside the tent. The interior ambience was classy with pure white seating. They also had separate family tents for more privacy. The staff was extremely friendly and service was commendable. I was welcomed by cheerful and bubbly Hala with a warm hug.
The iftar spread was a medley of all cuisines with interactive cooking stations. There was sushi counter, Arabic , Indian , continental, Turkish with the addition of lot of salads, fresh fruits, dry fruits, traditional Arabic beverages and delectable desserts.
A truly scrumptious night in a lovely ambience, spending quality time with fellow foodies - what more can one ask for!
And thanks Hala for this invite.

The Grand Hyatt Doha Ramadanak Experience
When I got a chance to be part of the sneak peek at the
Ramadanak tent, Grand Hyatt, I knew it would be something unique to look
forward to. So, accompanied by my good friend Manjoo (scoopoflove.com), our adventure began.
A majestic chandelier and flowers welcomed us in the lobby
and from there, ran a red carpet welcome with moon lit lanterns and purple
hazed lights. The whole place was aesthetically decorated in keeping with the
true spirit of Ramadan.
The tent was set up in the Grill Restaurant. We were
welcomed by staff in traditional Arabic attire. The restaurant adopted a
different layout by starting with the dessert counter right at the entrance,
which was really catchy.
Being a sugar addict I
loved this concept, and thought of starting right from there with so
many tempting and luscious desserts starting with chocolate fountains,
macaroons, tarts, cakes and Arabic desserts.
Among them, cheese kunafa, umm
ali, aish al saraya , camel milk panacotta and coffee profiteroles stole my
heart.
Right next was juice counter serving refreshing traditional
Arabic drinks like Jaleb, Rose water and tamarind drink.
Many appealing Food Stations followed from there
Bread Section
Continental
Turkish Grill
Salads
Seafood
The Qatari dishes stood out in the mammoth spread. My
personal favorite was Machkool with chicken which was a mildly spiced succulent
chicken stew with potatoes. Marbeen Rice with shrimps was next. Lamb Ouzi
(roast lamb served on a bed of Oriental rice) and Nikhi (chickpeas in chicken
stock) were also scrumptious.
The venue, ambience, service was praiseworthy. The buffet
highlighted the local cuisine as well as maintained a good balance of all
regions.
As a budding food blogger, this gave me a chance to connect
with the creamy layer of Doha's Food blogger's community.
Do check out this
feast at the Grand Hyatt ramadanak tent with your family and friends and enjoy
a blessed and joyous Ramadan.
