This restaurant has been our favourite in Doha since they open. Yesterday we showed up with no reservations craving some sushi...Julia asked us to wait at the bar while she was looking for a place for us (it is usually fully booked) 10 minutes later she found a table for us. I have to say we weren't in a hurry... More

Excellent service and very high quality food. Best restaurant I've visited in Doha. We were served a luscious chili-flavoured dip before the meal. I asked the waiter if by any chance they sold the dip in jars to use at home. Sadly no, they don't. However, during the meal, a paper bag with a container of dip arrived with their... More

Had some doubts about the Spice Market but decided to give it a 4 out of 5, yet closer to the average rating than to the excellent. Well designed, always packed, good bar scene, amazing atmosphere, very good and well trained staff (our hostess from Macedonia was very professional and Renato our waiter from Goa also very good), always there....

Came here on a recent stay at the W (fantastic experience!) and decided to have dinner at Spice Market on the first night. Was told I should hurry up if I wanted to get a table but the restaurant was only about half full when we eventually showed up. I was torn between Market and Spice Market but after looking... More

The Japanese food in particular is exceptionally fresh. The acid test was the very good miso soup which in many so called japanese restaurants can often taste that it has come out of a chemical factory. Sushi and sashimi were mouth watering. Only remark is I'm not sure why they gave us papodoms with a spicy sauce to start it... More

As my husband is a chef I confess to being very spoilt when it comes to food....but the menu, food, and service we received at the Spice Market was perfection! The whole vibe and ambiance within the W hotel is all super cool, but very comfortable. The menu at Spice Market is imaginative without being complicated. We selected a number... More

In general, the W hotel is one of the finest hotels in Qatar. The spice market is always full. That’s because it’s maintaining its quality standard. Great atmosphere and lovely light dishes which suitable for a light dinner. Service is 5 stars

I had the Malaysian fish, which I loved. The sauce had a nice kick. The first few bites of fish were a little charred, which I actually preferred. The rest was not. I had the side of shitaake mushrooms and snap peas. Also a great sauce. My husband had sushi and an enormous salad. He enjoyed the sushi. The salad,... More
