“Our ambition is to offer an incomparable gourmet odyssey combining Mediterranean refinement with the richness of oriental flavours,” explains the team. Originally from India and trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney, Chef Kunal is a wonderful interpretor of this dual approach. “The spices of my childhood taught me about depth and balance, while European rigour has given me a taste for refinement.” This alchemy has given rise to an audacious, exclusive menu: ripe tomato salad with spices in summer, naan with black truffles in winter, or mustard fish, paying tribute to family traditions. The restaurant’s philosophy is to compose dishes appealing to the senses, with each mouthful telling a story. 

Qatari guests discover real resonance in this concept: inspiring family cuisine designed to be shared and celebrated, a warm, attentive welcome, and personalized service which anticipates preferences and conjures up bespoke experiences. “Our aim is to harmonize sophistication and authenticity while remaining true to the local culture of sharing,” says Kunal. The result reflects Doha’s real identity: rooted in tradition, but in constant evolution to embrace excellence on the world stage. Maya Jah also proposes a selection of premium shishas in a lounge with an elegant atmosphere. Finally, the vast terrace facing the sea, air conditioned and open year-round, offers a striking view of the skyline and the Persian Gulf.
