Turkish Central - Doha, Qatar

Turkish Central –Al Mirqab Al Jadeed Street, Al Nasr, Doha

Cuisine: Turkish, Middle Eastern, Arabian

All reviews will be based on the Cuisine and Fare the restaurant/outlet is known for / specialised in.

This review is based on inputs from myself as well as fellow foodies who have accompanied me to this restaurant. 

ALL RATING ARE IN THE SCALE OF 5. A rating of 5 mean Excellent while 1 is Poor.

FOOD: RATING 4.5 OUT OF 5.

Item 1 – Salads / Appetizers - Mixed Appetizer
There lives a Mixed Appetizer platter in Turkish Central
A Colorful Platter of Cold Appetizers
All Time Legend for all Doha Food Lovers
The eyes are in for a Feast
The taste buds go on a Treat

Mixed Appetizer


Item 2 –Shawarma –Chicken: The shawarma here is one of the best in Doha but not the greatest. I am a plate shawarma fan but then the one served here is not the heavyweight of their menu

Item 3 – Pies / Fatayers – This is a hidden gem in this restaurant’s menu. Many among us ignore this little portion of the menu for our feast and treat is on the Grilled items. Nevertheless, you should try out their fatayers, especially the ones that have Labaneh, Zaatar or Meat.

Item 4 – Grilled Items – BBQ / Grilled Chicken

!!!!!All Hail Turkish Central!!!!
No matter how much of an expert you are in Grilled / BBQ chicken, the chef in Turkish Central is the ultimate expert. No matter what time or what day you visit this place, the Grilled chicken is out of this world!


BBQ / Grilled Chicken

Item 5 – Grilled Items – Meat Items

The Turks are good with their meat (mutton / lamb) delicacies especially when it comes to Kofta and Chops. Turkish Central does justice to that but then like their shawarma, they are one of the best in Doha but not the greatest.

Grilled Items - Meat & Chicken


SERVICE – 4 OUT OF 5

They waiters are well versed in the menu and really efficient when it comes to ordering. The downside is the waiting time for an order. They seem to take ages but then as they say “it is worth the wait!”

LOCATION – 4.5 OUT 5

It is in the famous al Nasr street (Fereej bin Nasr). A Doha dweller can never miss this place. Parking can be a hassle but then all restaurants located on main/ important roads of Qatar have this problem. Depending in what time you get there, the traffic density can be anything between to Dreaded Bumper to Bumper or Delicately Smooth.

PRICING: 4 out of 5 (5 means cheapest while 1 means expensive)


I rate this place 4 (Money is not a problem)

The generous portion size, good quantity and the wonderful taste should command a “reasonable sized” bill but Turkish Central is even generous in the prices and keeps our financial stress after a meal wonderfully light.

AMBIANCE: 2.5 OUT 5

Do you enjoy being in a Jam Packed Wedding Party that is noisy but yet super fun. If yes, Turkish Central is the place to be. Be it a wild bunch of mates or a huge gossiping family gathering this place has all the feel of it.
Once you are in this place, all you wish to do is pull up a chair from anywhere, roll up your sleeves and just dig into the food!
Romantic Dinners / A quiet meal / Fine Dining are out of the question.

DECOR AND SEATING CAPACITY – 2.5 OUT 5

Well, they have a BIG HALL, Chairs and Tables. Décor is not what you are here for but I must say the place is clean for such a huge and busy place.

OVERALL RATING: 4 OUT OF 5.

Turkish Central is one of the Bucket List when you are in Doha. A Foodie paradise. Such is the consistence and quality of their food that there is no soul (as per my Sources) in Doha who has ever declined a Turkish Central option for a meal.

Having said that, I believe they can up their ante in Décor and Seating, especially if they can segregate an area for exclusive family / majlis seating.
