"Cooking has been running in my family for generations yet my true inspiration came from my mother. When we were young, she used to cook for us soul food that would put smiles on everyone's faces. For her, cooking was all about feeling and sharing happiness. Now, I strive everyday to follow her footsteps and bring smiles to others through my plates.

Al Liwan introduces a wide range of Levantine cuisine to the Doha dining scene. Our signature dish, the Chicken Shawarma, is not to be missed whenever visiting Qatar. Over the years, we turned this classic delicacy into a must-try of Al Liwan with a secret recipe balancing authenticity and creativity. For me, the most rewarding part of the day is seing one of our guests leave with a smile on their face, telling me that this is a dish they will remember."  - Specialty Chef Ammar
