Offering fine dining as a memorable experience to clients is key to City Center Rotana Doha. We want to enlarge the customer experience, so they can feel and live new sensations with us.

An edge in quality and price is what sets us apart from the competition in Qatar not to mention a wealth of experience in what the discerning diner is looking for when it comes to fine dining. Be it authenticity, exceptional value or outstanding customer service, we are truly setting the benchmark. Our new casual dining area is a clear key line of business that City Center Rotana Doha will keep on investing in. As a perfect option for leisure meals, the restaurant is a real feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.’

Guests at Sama Lounge can anticipate a spin on ingredients through a variety of dishes namely Tabbouleh, Fattoush, Crispy fried calamari, Garlic chilli prawns, Mashawi Mushakal, Shish Taouk and many more that clearly demonstrate innovation of City Center Rotana Doha’s chefs in the culinary field.

With specially created menus, Sama Lounge will serve the best of health and taste in its meals and all that at very competitive prices. Its lavish menu offers a medley of exotic dishes selected from Arabic and International cuisine.

A warm and earthy feel ambience can be found throughout the restaurant. The music combined with comfortable chairs and rich elegant tables gives the dining outlet a comfortable, homey feel. Candles emit a warm light throughout the dining area. In a city not known for its backyard dining, this restaurant definitely takes the title away and highlights an al fresco dining.

Kendall concluded:

Investing in food and beverage is one of the main pillars for our growth. The Sama Lounge is a lovely venue for both our in-house guests and visitors to relax and unwind in an atmospheric setting during the evenings with great food and magical Doha skyline views.
