Took a break this weekend from working out to go to downtown Doha to enjoy some local cuisine and visit a few of the shops. We ended up eating at an Iraqi restaurant. Much of the grill food was similar if not the same as Turkish food. Basically, it's grilled lamb or chicken served with bread and vegetables. Really, you can't screw that up. Anyways, since I knew that would be good, I tried something else and it was lousy. It was basically a bread ball with rice, chicken and lamb stuffed inside. It was very bland and there was a limited amount of meat in inside the bread. Not a restaurant I'd visit again.
We stopped to get some authentic Italian gelato. I got a scoop of pistachio and a scoop of stracciatella (chocolate chip). It was as good as any I had in Italy. I imagine I'll stop there anytime I'm in the vicinity. After that, we went to a cafe and smoked some hookah's. I had an orange flavor, that wasn't too bad. It was my first time, but now I see why it is so popular. It's like smoking, but in a much more relaxed manner. Still wouldn't buy one, but I'd be up for smoking another while out on the town.
