German Doner Kebab restaurant -review

In the beginning there was the kebab .from the Arabic: كَبَاب‎‎ (kabāb) The grilled meat on a vertical rotisserie -  already popular in Turkey hundreds of years ago. Then a lots of Turkish guest workers went to Germany 40 year ago .Yeah , the Turks had to cook for themselves if they wished to eat something tasty . The Germans are not famous for their good cuisine!
 The kebab was affordable and tasty . It was developed into  a sandwich with a lots of salad ,sauce . It was a Turkish  thing .

Later the German saw that this Turkish street food was
gut . And they named it after themselves .German Doner Kebab .

 This small restaurant is a little Germany in Qatar . It is decorated with photos of famous German sights .

It is plain -it is simple -you can often hear German words here .

Nice portions of meat , salad , sauces .If only I could forget the french-fries !
I wished to have some sour-cherry drink ...like in Munich last year ...but they sold  the usual mocktails ...

I wish they had it somewhere closer . Medina Central in the Pearl is  far from me . Anyway - it is close to NOVO cinema .Good idea to have something before or after  the movie .

Cool-de-sac or indoor playground in the Pearl




That was a new place for me . It is in the Pearl not far from Novo cinema . This is an entertainment center with restaurant  for kids .
It offers soft play areas ,slides ,lego building station , face painting ,computer games ,play stations ,painting .  The age group  they expect  is from tots to 12 year old . However my 10 year old was a bit bored .Most of the kids looked preschoolers . The thing that I liked at this place was the number of hosts and hostesses calling the kids by their names and ready to play with them . We might have been in the middle of a party because every half an hour a dance or game was initiated by the hosts . After all my 10 year old had a good time but not sure  he wants to spend his hard earned pocket money here next time .
The entrance fee is 55 rials for unlimited time .That sounds reasonable . But it is trap .The cheapest drink at the restaurant is 10 rials .And the nugget-fries meal for kids is 35 rials and despite the title "gourmet restaurant " it was nothing special -just the usual nugget meal . . You are not allowed to bring your drinks or snacks . If you leave the place you are not allowed to go back .So do not arrive hungry or thirsty here otherwise you will pay a lot for traditional junk food .
I  met  there someone I had known before and it was so difficult to chat because it was too noisy . The face painters  did a great job  - real artists work there . The staff is mixed - Europeans and Filipinos .Both were nice and welcoming ,patient with the kids .
