Awtar Restaurant review - Eid brunch buffet at Simaisma Beach ,Murwab resort




I went there with great expectations . Their advertisement looked so great ! Fancy style setting of lavish buffet : with prawn Cocktail or Kabees. Salad, Chicken Caesar Salad, Greek salad or Caponata Salad .


  THIS WAS THE TABLE WITH WONDERFULLY LOOKING ENTREES IN THEIR ADS



 and this is the photo of what they actually served AS ENTREES




In reality they had some large bowls as entrees with canned mushrooms and canned vegetables that I would be embarrassed to offer to my family on a festive day .




No fresh salad at all ! NO prawns ! No chicken Caesar . No caponata !

They had lentil soup that was so bad that I could not finish . I am great fan of soups - that was the worst one I ever tried .

,
The main courses were better . Some Arabic or Indian style stews or curries . I had lamb stew , paneer curry , vermicelli rice , potato dauphinoise . They were all tasty and well cooked .


But where were the live cooking stations that they promised ? Tempura or pasta stations ? There were no live cooking stations at all ! No sign of sushis or any other Japanese cuisine !

 THIS WAS THE DESSERT TABLE IN THE ADS'




The dessert table was full of cooked , sweet rice by the time we arrived there . Nothing else ! The French pastry vanished quickly - some kids were begging for them - but the waiters were reluctant
to serve more cakes .When most of the people left and we started to take photo of their miserable dessert table then quickly they served two more small cakes !
 THIS WAS THE DESSERT TABLE IN THE REALITY !








Coffee came for free !

The service was always polite . We had the coffee in the  terrace with sea view . That was really special .

The food they offered clearly was not worth the 82 rial per person ! For the little selection of food they offered 30 rials would have been reasonable .

It was with Qgrabs coupons .So the original price was double ! I felt it was a scam with all the things promised and the few things they actually offered .

Numbers in Qatar - more than 400 patients at Emergency

 It is just the usual overeating at Eid-al Fitr , at the festival after Ramadan .

 It is just ironic  as some Egyptian TV channel  spread the fake news that we are starving in Qatar .
_____________________________________________________

No one case was too serious luckily  -but myself I saw kids throwing up at two different restaurants  we had dinner at .   It  really spoils the dinner ! At least we did  not overeat for sure ! But we chose a certain place at the Lagoona Mall because  they have large area with slides for kids . After my kid was playing for 20 minutes  I called him for diner  then I found he was trapped  . A child vomited at the exit of the slides  blocking the way  and the cleaning staff was very slow .After dinner he returned to play just to see that the slides themselves were dirty too . But the cleaning staff just answered " do not use it " and that is all ....








Manhole accident at Wukair - six year old boy dies

 It happened again ! And the same scenario  - family  dines out  and a kid goes missing then they found out too late that he fell in an uncovered manhole !

It happened in Wukair  on the eve of Eid -al Fitr ! 



source 

 In fact  it is very difficult to save someone from a  manhole -  even when  they notice at once that  someone fell into . They are 5 .5 meter deep !

Four years ago another little Indian boy died when walking just some meters ahead of his family . Someone even went down risking his own life  - but the boy fell in coma and later died in hospital .

Another little boy died in the center of Doha  some years ago while his family was dinning -  the little expat  Arab boy fell into an uncovered manhole right in front of the restaurant .
