Qatari cuisine is a blend of traditional Arabian flavors, with influences from India, Persia, and the Levant. Popular dishes include “machboos,” a spiced rice dish with meat (often chicken or lamb), vegetables, and saffron. “Harees,” a wheat and meat dish, is commonly served during Ramadan. “Saloona,” a vegetable and meat stew, is another favorite. Qatari food is known for its use of aromatic spices like cumin, cardamom, and coriander, creating rich, flavorful meals.
