We went to celebrate my son’s birthday and have our national breakfast food! Sara was so sweet to surprise our son with a candle and to sing a birthday song for him - he really liked that. The vibe was good and the staff kept coming to check up on us and to make sure we didn’t need anything.

My recent visit to Basta Restaurant Qatar with my friend Rhys, who hails from East Asia, was nothing short of spectacular. We sampled two dishes, Sheykh Al Fareij and Machboos, and were blown away by the culinary prowess showcased in each plate.

First and foremost, the food at Basta Restaurant is simply incredible. It ranks among my top dining experiences, thanks to the exceptional flavors and quality ingredients. The Sheykh Al Fareij and Machboos were both cooked to perfection, with the meat being a standout element that left us speechless.

The ambiance of the restaurant is noteworthy as well. Adorned with captivating posters and pictures from bygone eras, Basta Restaurant exudes a charming and nostalgic vibe. We opted to sit outside, enjoying the pleasant weather, but I would recommend indoor seating during the summer months to avoid discomfort.

We complemented our meal with Leban, a drink reminiscent of what we call Dough in my country. The refreshing taste added to our overall dining satisfaction. The rice accompanying our dishes was cooked impeccably, adding a delightful texture to each bite.

One aspect that stood out was the presentation of the food. The way the dishes were served showcased a blend of aesthetics and attention to detail, enhancing our dining experience.

To top it off, the visit from a restaurant supervisor added a personal touch. Their inquiry about our satisfaction with the food and the staff’s hospitality further emphasized the restaurant’s commitment to customer satisfaction.

In conclusion, dining at Basta Restaurant Qatar was an absolute pleasure. We left the restaurant with content hearts and happy taste buds, thoroughly enjoying every aspect of our experience. I highly recommend Basta Restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable culinary journey filled with exquisite flavors and a welcoming atmosphere.

Went to Basta for breakfast one weekday morning and really enjoyed it. The breakfast platter was very delicious with great combination of cheeses, honey and rose jam. The foul was also one of the best I have had. The fresh bread made everything even more delicious.

Except for the ambiance nothing is good about the restaurant. The food is pathetic, I can honestly make better Biryani at home (and I’m not even a great cook), the staff looked demotivated, the price is not worth it. Thumbs down 👎

We were looking for a local restaurant in doha, basta could work more on the quality of food and the local taste, because the quality of food is lacks the authentic touch, the machbous and bariyani are ok but can be much better. Service is slow .The outdoor seating area is full of flies, they need to have the flies fans or anything that might help.

Lamb shank was very delicious. Bread freshly baked crispy. Entertainer applicable
