Elie Matta, Manager of Al Balad Qatar, said: “Our menu features a wide range of dishes prepared with the freshest ingredients, including some fantastic and unmissable desserts! Al Balad will open daily from 10am to 2am, and we are looking forward to welcoming Doha’s diners with our special blend of delicious food and relaxed ambiance.”
