Qissa

Our restaurant Qissa—meaning story in Arabic—is where the essence of local Qatari, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors come together to create a narrative of taste and tradition.

Looking out to the Arabian Gulf’s tranquil waters and mesmerizing sunsets, our indoor-outdoor space embraces shared dining, presenting dishes family-style to deepen connections and conversations. Because of this, Qissa becomes a place where stories are exchanged, laughter is shared and bonds are forged, echoing the close-knit social fabric that defines Qatari culture.

The concept

With our open coal and wood fire grill as the kitchen’s heart, we take pride in the minimal transformation of our ingredients, allowing the natural brilliance of seasonal produce, proteins, and other elements to take center stage. Our commitment extends to ethical sourcing and sustainability through collaboration with local farms and fisheries, where each ingredient is thoughtfully chosen to ensure a harmonious connection between our kitchen and the planet.
