Asherg

A restaurant with a strong Arab vibe that blends perfectly into the souq atmosphere. It’s quite spacious with both terrace seating and a second floor. Inside, the seating features traditional Arab style red sofa benches which really add to the vibe. They offer a good variety of light meals and drinks. Just a heads up grilled meats are only available from the evening. The beef burger was delicious. Highly recommended if you want to experience traditional Arab vibes in the souq.

Took one nasty bite I didn’t finish my food. It took 15 minutes of waving and calling out before anyone acknowledged me despite two of the staff just standing around and looking in their phones, The chicken sandwich tasted spoiled, so I ended up feeding it to the stray cat wandering by my chair. She probably knew the drill—people feed her because the food here is either expired, spoiled, or just plain awful. There’s something seriously wrong with the taste, and no, it’s not the spices. It’s just bad, I give them two star because the fry’s and the tea did taste good

I ordered the BBQ mixed grill, and it was presented with great attention to detail. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, with each item cooked to perfection. The atmosphere of the restaurant elevated the experience—warm, inviting, and enhanced by an appealing aroma of freshly grilled meats. As a kind gesture, they also offered a complimentary side, which added a thoughtful and generous touch to the meal.

Shisha review only: Terrible shisha. No flavour. No smoke. Tastes like coal. Told the waiter, he blew into it and said "no it's good"... it was not anywhere close to the other places. It was disgusting. I wish I saw the shisha reviews before. They are 100% accurate. Do not waste your money on shisha here.

We have experienced better prices and customer service elsewhere, but also significantly worse - so we enjoyed both hot and cold drinks in the shade under one of the trees. The coffee was initially very black and hot, which most people like - but I don't want very hot coffee and asked for some milk - and I still wonder what kind of creamy yellow milk I got - but it was fine. It was good to sit with open space around us, a little traffic noise, but not very annoying. Big plus for having other sodas than just Coke and Pepsi that are sugar-free. I would have liked to see them make something with an orange flavor that was also sugar-free, but lemon is a step in the right direction.

Great place to stop for a break and some delicious food.

Compared to pre-covid times, this restaurant now has plenty of vacant chairs upstairs since Sisha is not allowed as per ministry’s directives. Service now is fast compared before. Staffs now are attentive and responsive to your needs. Tip: bring cash with you. Still until now they don’t accept debit or credit cards.

While roaming in Souq Waqif, I found this restaurant which had indoor, outdoor and rooftop seating arrangements. Food is not very expensive, but not amazing as well. It’s like average. Service was fine, staffs are polite. Mostly filled with tourists only. The view from the rooftop is really beautiful. They have Shiesha as well which I cannot tell how good or bad is as I did not try.
