Chef Shams looking forward to sharing Qatari cuisine with the world in 2022

At the heart of Souq Waqif – one of Doha’s busiest tourist destinations – Qatari chef Shams Al Qassabi serves traditional local cuisine. She’s built one of the most successful restaurants in the country and has developed a loyal clientele, including many famous faces from across Qatar. Shams is currently looking forward to hosting thousands of fans from all over the globe when Qatar hosts the first FIFA World Cup™ in the Middle East and Arab world in under two years’ time. Her mission is to introduce international fans to Qatari culture and cuisine in a traditional setting. ‘God willing, fans from all over the world will visit us and realise how amazing Qatari food is,’ Shams told qatar2022.qa. ‘I’ll make true, traditional food that they haven’t eaten anywhere else, just like our grandmothers used to make.’
