Saasna

Excellent food and a perfect mix of Qatari spices. Dishes were generous and easy to share. Aisa, our waitress, was wonderful and attentive. She really made sure that we were happy with our food and her service was impeccable. Thank you to Karim also for his words of wisdom. We really enjoyed our experience and we highly recommend this restaurant.

Very tasty upscale Qatari dishes, including creative ones like tuna mashkool and dates salad, served at an open square in front of the Mandarin Oriental, in the heart of the modern downtown of Doha. Very friendly and helpful service.

Searched for Qatari restaurants in this area and decided on Saasna. Relatively quiet on Saturday. Delicious flavorful food, came in large portions. We had the chicken biryani and hammour majboos. We were also offered free dessert at the end, tasted like cold milk pudding.

We had a very good meal and overall great experience in this Michelin-recommended restaurant. We arrived late, at 3pm and were the last customers for lunch. The total check was about 70 euros for two people, we took a shared salad, some bred, 2 mains and 2 drinks.

Amazing food. I had the Hammour Majboos (Grouper). The taste was amazing and the portion size was enough for two people. The salads are amazing as well.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is really nice. The food portions were huge so I’m pretty satisfied. Musharib has great access so it’s super convenient to get anywhere from here.

Has potential, but quality control is lacking. We were excited to try Sassna and ordered four dishes: Jereesh, Shrimp Soup, Keema with Yogurt, and an Onions & Tomatoes Salad. The Good: The core taste of the main dishes is promising. The Jereesh and Keema had a good, traditional flavor profile. The Bad: · Temperature: All the hot dishes were served only warm, almost cold. This really impacts the experience. · Seasoning: Everything was underseasoned and definitely needed more salt. · The Salad: This was the biggest letdown. It was just a bowl of raw onions with a few tomatoes and barely any lemon sauce. The ratio was way off, making it harsh and unpleasant. The foundation is good, but for the price, we expected better execution. Paying attention to serving food hot, proper seasoning, and balanced salads would make a huge difference.

The food was amazing. The flavour profile was spot on. However, the service can be a bit slow and weird - for example our drinks were only served when our main came, which was at least 30 minutes after we ordered, so we basically sat there feeling thirsty for a long time..
