Souq Waqif, a large marketplace in the center of Doha, is a popular place to spend an evening in Doha. Filled with shops, cafes, sit down restaurants, shisha spots, street vendors and general fun in the evenings, Souq Waqif is home to what must be Doha’s most beautiful restaurant – Parisa Persian Restaurant! Parisa is located on one of Souq Waqif’s main drafts. Guests enter through an arch way and are admitted inside the actual restaurant, which spans two floors, only when a table is ready. I suggest reservations in advance, as this restaurant is popular with tourists and locals.

A friend recommend Parisa and we decided to go last minute, meaning that did not make a reservation. We luckily got a table after waiting just a few minutes. Once inside, we were blown away by the decor. Parisa is colorful and sparkly and feels you are stepping into a luxury home. Inside are hand-painted, Persian artworks of myths and legends, intricate mosaics, ornate chandeliers and thousands of tiny mirrors that were handpicked from Iran. Its really beautiful.
